SMALL BUSINESS" Bv c WILSON HAIDER ardtr One of the best manifestations Hut some Big Labor leaders feel they are above the law of the land is contained in the bowl •et up by Dave Dubinsky, head of the International Ladies Gar* 1 znent Workers Union when the Justice Dept recently secured’ sm anti-trust Indictment against one of his lo cals and aev- eral garment manufacturers Associations, e e e Mr. Dubln sky, In • fine rage, charges, that the J tlce Dept, going hack, (note him, to' c. w the IRM’s when the nation’s anti trust laws were not used against uenopoly, hot to harass unions, nee The background of his fine ti rade is based on lady(j There are some 300'million dol- lari of them wholesaled, most of them in the four state area of New York, New Jersey, Pennsyl vania and Cohnecticut e n n Boms few hundred contractors who sell tn the wholesale trade fas this area belong to one of two trado associations, named Greater aad Slate Belt. These two hare agreements with the ILGWU. In addition, the anion has an agreement with an as sociation of blouse Jobbers and manufacturers doing basin ess In New York City called National. 0 o o Now the Justice Dept, charges that an agreement was reached whereby National members were required to give all their work- to members of the Greater and Slate Belt groups, and in turn, the members of these groups were required to work exclusive ly for the National group. • o * Now Dave Dublnshy’s r-’en entered Into an both the National and groups which substantially pro* vidod the same thing. In addi tion, the union and the Ns Hanoi group. It Is alleged, Jatned hands, to force non-member Jobbers and manufacturers to either Join the National group, or conform with the existing agreements which set up an allocation syn* tern, price fixing, and all the other paraphernalia of n cosy little deal. 0 0 0 Then there was a big fall mil of the boys, and fof a while there was little observance of the prica fixing arrangement • • o From here on out, the matter got very foggy indeed. It seems that although be had no connec tion with the lady’s blouse iiaal nese la any way, one Harry Straaser, a convicted dope ped dler, aad alleged to be a formar associate of Louis Buchalter, blouies. f former head of Marder, Inc.. somehow got info the set and woo quite busy la negotiating n new deal all around in which al the disputing associations aad the anion got friendly once again. ’ o o o Under the new arrangement, by some curious quirk, the union entered into agreements with the Greater and National groups which provided among othar things, the allocation of the Na tional group members work among the members, of Greater and Slate Belt group's. o e o Thus, according to Justice Dept, the union took dominant role In enforcing allocation and price fixing provisions of the agreements. e o e Dave Dubinsky has raised a howl about Justice Dept, making all this public. • oe He perhaps believes that the stirred price fixing situation In the blouse industry la a skeleton that should be kept fully clothed. t ■ ^ DAN YARBOROUGH PHOTOGRAPHER • [ / Portrait — Commercial — Weddings PRESCRIPTIONS Prompt, Economical Prescription Service!
