The United Garment Workers are joining the Amalgamated.

The tailors of Blumenthal and Frost, all of whom belong to the United Garment Workers, have done well in joining the Amalgamated Clothing Workers. The president, W. Milstein, a radical worker, did inside work in bringing in the workers of the shop. Isadore Katz assisted him.

Yesterday at 12 noon, the new group were initiated into the Amalgamated Local 144, of which F. Tobach is president. W. Milstein spoke of the differences between the United Garment Workers and the Amalgamated Clothing Workers. Sam Rissman, business agent of Cutters Local 61, stated that at last the remains of the dead had been brought to rest. After the various speeches, a picture of the former sixty U. G. W. workers was taken.
