The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1927-09-15
LContinned from Peae Onel

the workers of this shop have already
gone on strike. Now the strikers will
constantly picket the shop in order
that the rest Of the workers, who
have not yet bAd the courage to go,
may be taken Off Everv confidence
may be held in the strikers that they
will succeed in getting the rest Of the
workers down as well.
Begs Return.
The determination Of the strikers
may be seen in many instances, few
Of them are the following;
Brothers Rosenzweig, one of the
fastest workers Of the shop of Union
Bros, and even in the trade answered
the call of the union to strike as soon
as it was given. He was Immediately
paid visit by the boss who prac-
tically begged him to return to work
and promised him raise which would
easily amount to SIS more a week.
This he absolutely refused to do say
ing that he would stick with the rest
of the strikers, until they won their
demands. And this in spite of the
fact that he is not yet a fully eX
perienced worker and that he knows
but one line Of the work. Later when
he was offered strike benefit, he re-
fused to take it saying that he had a
few dollars which he would first use
before taking union money, use that
money to fight the bosses, he says.
This brother is just one of the many
who realizes that the strike can and
will be won if the workers all stick
together.
Brother Sam Zwaleck, one of the
workers of the shop Of the Chesapeake
had been out of work for period of
nine months and was badly in need
of funds, as is natural. Finally he
got job in the Chesapeake shop and
as soon as the union called on this
shop to strike he began talking to the
springers, who were still on the job,
and the next day all of the springers
followed the rest of the strikers. this
because the boss fired Zwaleck for
talking. The workers showed their
solidarity by walking out on strike
and are now active fighters with the
union.
Bosses Try TO Break Strike.
The bosses, members of the Furni-
ture Manufacturing Association, are
doing their best to become strike
breakers, by daily visiting the homes
of the strikers and telling them the
usual lies that the other workers have
gone back to the job and telling them
that they had better follow suit if
thy want to hold their jobs. The
workers understand the trick however
and will not be fooled by this prattle
Of the boss and will stay together and
win the fight
Fight for organization; the fight
will be won if all of the workers stick
/, together and fight the boss who is
trying to break the ranks, and the
bosses will lose this battle and the
workers will come out victorious.

of the Upholsterers international
Union and Representative of the

the bosses.
The conditions of the workers here
