COMRADES Brothers and Sisters:
~ At last the expectations of many
of us have materialized
1t is now nearly nine weeks that
we are engaged in fight for the most
important and vital demands. We are
engaged in a fight that has been fore
ed upon us. We took up the chal-
lenge of the fur manufacturers and We
have been conducting a general strike
which arouses the admiration of the
entire labor world. We are opposed
by enemies from within and without.
But no attempt from whatever camp,
has succeeded in breaking our organ
lied ranks. Each hostile attempt has
only strengthened our courage and
steeled our power.
1t is due to the heroic struggle to
the devotion and spirit of sacrifice
Of our members and TO the confidence
of the masses in the leadership of
the strike that we have reached the
moment when the fur manufacturers
begin to feel that they have to talk
settlement. But just at this moment

half an hour after the Central Trades

recommendation of its executive
board, which included support to the
$4,000 striking Itnrriers in New York,
Hugh Frayne, general organizer of the

wing which is conducting the strike
and at the same time spoke in favor
of the so-called agreement which In
ternational President Oscar Schacht-
