~ ~NNhoih tAAANAS A-ONdi NC. -
Congratulations You were deter
mined in your struggles and you
emerged victoTioas-the combined on
slaughts Of the McGrady
clique and the police could not break
your determination and you fought
on to victory.
New York is next-In New York
the furriers have fought on bravely.
They have combatted every attempt
of the bosses and the scab agents to
destroy their union. The Furriers in
New York are also determined to
protect their rights and cleanse the
union Of the traltorous elements who
are bent on destroying it. The nu-
merous attacks inflicted upon them
daily by the police do not deter them
from continuing the fight against the
betrayers of labor.
It is the duty Of every worker to
aid this fight financially-to supply
the necessary ammunition so that
these brave fighters can continue.
$4,000 must be raised at once! Every
worker should purchase ticket for
the Coney Island Stadium Concert
Immediately. Not only will this Con-
cert be one of the finest events of
this season, but it will also be the
biggest demonstration against the
union-smashing tactics of the bureau
cracy. Every class conscious worker
and progressive individual should
participate in this demonstration. Ben
Gold, Louis Hyman and the lawyers
of the Mineola trial will address the
10000 workers.
The relief committee has also issued
bonds ranging from $40 to $25 and
we ask that every worker buy a
bond.
The strike is yours and you must
help win it!
From the Bazaar TO the Stadium.
The excitement of the bazaar is
over. The comrades had the oppor-
tunity Of settling for their tickets,
and rest up after the four days Of
hard work. Now is the time to work
even more theoretically to make the
Coney Island Stadium concert a sue
cess.
The defense committee has no doubt
that this will be done. We have the
utmost faith in our comrades and
know that they will throw all their
energies behind this campaign and
help make this concert the most out
standing event. We must, however,
remind you not to delay. In order
to make this concert a success, the
work must be done now. 1t is dan
gerous to delay. Every worker must
sell as many tickets as possible. All
energy must be concentrated on the
concert Of July is, at the Coney Is
land Stadium
