have GU RAD our Dollar lax ct!
The call for the Dollar tax issued
by the Unity Committee, cloak
makers and furriers, is of outstanding
Importance. The appeal of tn e
Mineola prisoners is approaching.
Others appeals are also coming up.
Lately the right wing clique began a
series of new attacks upon the
unions. Money is needed to make
the appeal of the Furriers successful.
Money is needed to fight the new at
tacks of the Sigman clique. Besides
this the cloak and dressmakers and
furriers unions have begun a cam
paign to build their unions. Money
is needed to help them in their work.
All workers must help the cloak
makers, dressmakers and furriers
fight for the release of the prisoners
and to build their union. A dollar
from every worker. Make this cam
paign a short one and snappy If
you have not yet paid your tax, send
| it in immediately. Every worker who
sends in his tax gets card showing
that he has paid. Every worker and
sympathizer should carry with him
card.
