at which the real fighters against the
bosses were organizing an honest
united front He also said that the
furriers had long felt thta the united
political force of the bosses, with
their injunctions and court DEGREES,
could only be fought effectively by a
political organization of the workers

the Furriers' Union was committed to
support the Workers Party in this
admirable attempt to unite all the

field, the building up of a mass labor
party. sThis conference is the nucleus
