Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Proceedings of the Third Biennial Convention of the Amalgamated Clothing Workers of America: Held in Baltimore, Maryland, May 13 to 18, 1919 Greeting: In accordance with the provisions of our International Constitution your General Executive Board herewith calls upon you to elect your representatives to the Third Biennial Convention to be convened in Baltimore, Md., Monday, May 13th, at 10 A. M. This is the third convention to be held under the banner of the Amalgamated Clothing Workers of America. The first convention, at the end of 1914, in New York, was an emergency meeting, held under great stress. At that convention the escutcheon of the organized clothing workers was cleansed from the accumulated blots and stains of many years of treason, corruption, defeat and disaster; cleansed by the class conscious action of the rank and file, and the name of the Amalgamated Clothing Workers of America was inscribed on it. As time passed it added to its lustre. Our second convention, in Rochester, was, in at least one respect, a contrast to the first one. While our New York convention was but a mobilization of forces, the organization having its face set to the future and not wishing to look back at the discouraging past, the second convention was a reunion of a victorious army. Our report to that convention told of battles bravely fought and brilliantly won. For the first time in the history of the organized clothing workers we were able to look back upon a past with pride and joy and draw from it inspiration, courage and hope for the great tasks ahead of us. The third convention, next May in Baltimore, will be greeted by the greatest hosts of labor ever organized in the clothing industry, with a new aspiring record of progress and attainments, including the establishment of the 48 hour week. The world war is still raging. While at the time our two previous conventions were held the war was confined to the old world it has sine drawn into its vortex also our own country. The problems created by the war for the labor movement have thereby been made more serious and complex. Our organization has successfully met those problems in so far as they concerned us. As a part of the labor movement we must be prepared to meet them in the future as they may arise. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
