Defense Committee with an opening
ball tonight will welcome to its colos-
sal undertaking all of it's friends,
| sympathizers and comrades for nine
days and nights.
''The very fact that such an affair
is being attempted is tribute to the
steadfast courage and energy of the
prosecuted needle trades workers who
have suffered so much at the hands
of their bureaucratic and ruthless
misleaders, and yet are full Of the
spirit of continued struggle.
| To Serve Thousands.
"This time their revolutionary duty
takes them, not on the picket line, nor
to the court or jail, but to stand be-
hind newly booths to sell
! to, or serve the hundreds of thou
sands Of shoppers who are expected
to visit the Grand Central Palace ba-
zaar.
cone hundred and fifty booths will
! be stacked with the finest wares OBJ
tainable in the city, to be sold at half
prices. Furs, jewelry, mems, women's
and children's apparel, silverware,
groceries and furniture are only a
few of the items for sale. Three res
taurants with changed menus daily

concerts, music and dancing will be
provided nightly for their amusement.

worker can express only hatred and
contempt for Sigman and his leader
ship.
Union Standards Gone.
"The progressive workers have
gone thru many hardships during the
past year; the unions for which they
have sacrificed SO much, are de-
stroyed; union standards have been
abolished; the bosses rule over the
worker in the shop with an iron hand,
and poverty and hunger are rampant
in the ranks of the cloakmakers and
furriers. The workers have seen not
only class-collaboration between union
leaders and the bosses, but they have
also seen outright betrayal of the
workers interests for the benefit of
the employers. They saw union
leaders send away loyal union work
ers for long terms in prison and
tasted the so-called democracy of the
capitalist state. Guerrillas and gang
sters were hired by union leaders to
beat up and even kill loyal workers.
Sigman Hired Scabs.
The Sigman gang hired scabs to
replace honest workers of long stand
! ing in the unions. Hundreds of
thousands of dollars of the insurance
fund were spent for provocateur pur-
poses. The plague of contractors and
small shops against whom progres-
sive workers struggled constantly, is
spreading steadily in New York and
out of town; of the 40-hour week not
trace can be found. One thing
however, they did not succeed in do
ing, and that is to break the unity
of the left wing rank and file and
their leaders. The mass meetings to

Attend The Bazaar
Says Workers Party

Attendance at the nine day bazaar
of the Joint Defense Committee,
Cloakmakers and Furriers, opening
today at the Grand Central Palace, is
urged in statement issued last night
by the executive committee, District
2, Workers (Communist) Party. The
palace is at Lexington Ave- and 46th
st. The statement reads in full, as
follows:
"The bazaar that the Joint Defense
and Relief has arranged for the week
Of Dec. % to New Years, and which
opens tonight at the Grand Central
Palace, is one Of the most important
events in the labor movement of New
York.
''This bazaar marks the completion
of years struggle of the right wing
bureaucracy against the Cloakmak-
ers' and Furriers' Unions.
With Bosses Help.
E "In it's fight against the left wing
and progressives, the right wing bur
eaucracy resorted to making united
fronts with the bourgeoisie, police,
courts and gangsters to beat up and
terrorize workers loyal to their
unions, arrest and frame up strikers,
and throw them out of their Jobs.
During last year thousands of
workers were arrested and thrown
into Jail for the only offense of pick
citing the shops where they were
striking. Hundreds were beaten up
by the hired thugs fo the Sigman-
McGrady clique. Still more were
thrown out of their jobs and faced
starvation. The bosses with the help
OF Sigman, succeeded in breaking
union standards of many shops and
In bringing in sweat-shop and speed
up systems, and establishing company
unions and open shops.
Workers Fight On.
However, the workers of the nee
die trades were not discouraged by
these attacks. They unitedly sup
ported their chosen progressive and
left wing leadership snd now, at the
ompletion of one years struggle,
