The vacation season has started.
Thousands of workers and sympathiz-
ers are leaving the city with its noise
and confusion and the resorts are fill
ing up. Even there the workers do
not forget the striking furriers and
arrested cloakmakers, and are help
ing them in the struggle. Brother Jo-
seph Ostoshever forwarded $40 to the
office of the Defense Committee col
lected among the guests at Mountain
side House, Sullivan County, after
left and right discussion on the
present situation in the needle trades.
Many people took part in the discus
sion and it was resolved that the de-
mands Of the furriers and cloakmak-
ers are justified. A collection of $40
was made.
The country hotels and vacation
places are fine fields for propaganda
and for the raising of ammunition
for the striking furriers and arrested
cloakmakers. We urge all workers to
take advantage Of their opportunities
when on vacation.
Jewish workers are not the only
ones active in the present struggle.
Workers of other nationalities are
rallying to the struggle. The Work
/ ers' Clubs realize thai she farriers
are fighting not alone for themselves
but that the issue involves all other
sections of the labor movement. The
Finnish Workers Club is doing its
share. They have started by purchas-
ing a 500 bond and $50 worth Of
tickets to the Coney Island Stadium
Concert.
A group of hardware workers col
lected S35 and pledge themselves to
further support the struggling fur
riers. The money was collected by
Benny Roller and Martin Rubinstein.
The New York Journeymen Tailors'
Local collected SIC at its last meet
ing. This amount was forwarded to
the defense. The Lithuanian Work
ing Woman's Organization, Branch
&c, donated $40 to the Furriers' De-
Tense. The money was brought in by
Mrs. Sernaarskas. At party in the
house of Mr.. and Mrs. Privaus, $50
was collected for the defense. The
money was forwarded by Jack Semet
and Jack Kriener.
A conference of workers organiza-
lions to support the striking furriers
was held in Boston on June Goth. II
was decided to raise at least $4,000
, to assist the furriers in their strug,
gle. Rose Wortis of New York was
, present at the conference.
