RANK AND FILE
FUR WORKERS To
MEET WEDNESDAY
Discuss Unemployment
at Manhattan Lyceum

Due to the descriptive tactics which
have been pursued in the furriers'
union during the past few months by
the reactionary International and A.
F. of l.. officials, standards in the
industry have fallen to a state I'M
known for many years, and conditions
in the shops are becoming unbearable.
Because of secret agreements made
with the bosses by the right wing
leaders, there is critical unemploy-
ment problem which is rousing the fur
workers to consider some practical
means of ending the internal struggle
which is rending the union
Meeting Wednesday.
In order to have a thoro discussion
of the whole situation, group of
rank and file members has taken
Manhattan Lyceum for Wednesday
evening, August 81, right after work,
and they will conduct an open forum
to which all registered and unregis-
tered are invited. The call issued by
the committee is as follows:
Fur Workers, Sisters and Brothers:
When are we going to stop this dis
astrous war among our brothers ?
How long are we going to suffer as a
result of this fight in our union
What benefit can we expect to get
from this fight? And why in the
name of common sense is this fight
necessary?
What about the great masses of
fur workers who want strong union
and chance to make a living?
5000 Are Unemployed.
/ About 5000 workers are unemploy-
ed. Their wives and children are
starving. An unheard of condition for
the month of August, which is al
ways the height of the season! Every
one who works expects to be sent
down any day of the week. Wages are
! low. We work harder and faster. The
bosses hang over our necks and drive
Jus.
Why this condition? Is there no
work? There was more production
this season than last season. This
committee investigated and found
more than 800 corporation shops, and
hundreds of contractors. They work
day and night, Saturday and Sundays.
They compete with the manufactur-
ers. They do our work. They under
mine our conditions They drive US
from our jobs.
How many open shops are there =?
How many non-union workers are
there working for SIS and $50 week
any number of hours? You can an
swer this yourself.
4 Who suffers? We, the registered
and unregistered workers! We, who
have suffered to build our union!
Why do we suffer? Because the
union is weak and cannot help us.
Fight to End Unemployment.
There is way to stop all this.
There is way to relieve our present
conditions.
The workers who are employed, reg
istered and unregistered must bear
in mind that those who are out of
work will cut their wages. We must
all do something to put an end to this
fight and to our suffering.
All fur workers are invited to at
tend an open forum at Manhattan Ly-
ceum, &c East Fourth ST., Wednesday,
August 31st, right after work.
| All fur workers must come-regis-
tered and unregistered. No leaders
from either side, only rank and filters.
All those who are for peace in the
union should come!

Another example of police action
took place in front of Stuyvesant
Casino before it was opened to the
workers. At eight p. m. police with

present. Many women with baby
carriages were among those caught

the meeting started to follow. When
they reached the Freiheit building,

after hitting viciously, arrested Pla-

objected to his carrying a red ban

to go in and view the masks.
The march to City Hall that was
broken up at Broome and Chrystie ST.
made up in enthusiasm what it lacks

Nothing could hurt the great
mass memorial in Union Square
yesterday for Sacco and Vanzetti.
A thousand cops on horses and with
machine guns were unavailing.
The sabotage of the mean-minded
Boston committee and the socialists
was Intellectual. Lightning, thun-
der and buckets of rain could do
nothing. The New York workers
were aflame with proletarian spirit.
they held their demonstration.
The ashes of our two martyrs did
not arrive, as scheduled Mary
Donovan, an obscure spiteful fe-
male with great lust for publicity
was responsible for this. But Mrs.
Sacco, that wonderful, patient hero
inc came from Boston to the demon
stration. She, like her husband, is
bigger than the two little parasites
who have fastened on the Sacco case
in Boston, and have tried to keep
it fccm the world. Mrs, Sacco be-
ieves in the revolution. She be-
lives in the working class of the
word. And so she was present yes
terday.
She came to the stand erected
in Union Square. She stood there
in black, amid the red carnations
and red bunting, against back
ground of fifty machine-guns, and
an army of cops. The faces of
thirty thousand workers, pale anc
exalted, were lifted to her.
The rain poured in torrents. The
rest of the city rushed for shelter,
or fled to subways and taxicabs.
But Mrs. Sacco stood silently in the
rain, and the great crowd cheered
hire again and again.
1t was one of the signs Of the
spirit this legal murder has evoked
in the hearts of the workers of the
world. The workers will never for
get. They will brave more than rain
and police and sabotage before the
emu Oh InlS case is come.
There were cops on the roofs,
with machine guns looking down on
the Red Square of New York. There
We're cops on all the side streets.
and stelid ranks ON horses about
the crowd. There were young cops,
oldRcops, cops with cruel rdmp-
steak faces, cops with shifty eyes
and hard=bitten mouths.
Fire engines came screaming
through the huge crowd several
times. The horses pressed against
human flesh. The cops snarled and
sneered and prodded. But on four
platforms agitators preached the
revolutionary lessons of the muir
der of Saceo and Vanzetti. And
dripping with rain, 10000 workers
stood their ground and listened.
A bit of memorial sculptry by
Adolf Wolf was unveiled on the cen
trail platform. 1t was cubist pyra-
mid design, out of which the square
fist of a worker was thrust toward
the sky.
Mother Bloor, her white hair
drenched with rain, her young eyes
bright with her wonderful spirit,
spoke from a platform. On another
was Comrade Patterson, a Negro
leader who made such a gallant pro-
test in Boston last week, and was
arrested several times. On the other
three platforms other speakers
shouted the great slogans of the
revolution-the great words that
will some day come to life even in
America, and set the workers free.
Italians in the crowd sang their
spirited song, Bandera Rosa. Then
everyone sang the International.
The cops listened; the skyscrapers
listened; the subway shook with the
sound; the song was heard in Mos
COW, in Hankow, in Boston. 1t was

YONKERS, Aug. discharges that
perjury is employed as often in. de-

particularly in personal injury cases,
We're made by Samuel Untermeyer in
statement issued from his home
"Greystone," here, in which he out
lined his views on the contingent fee
system now being widely discussed in

Abolition of the contingent, fee.sys-

Mr.. Untermeyer suggested several

only must we remember Sacco and
Vanzetti but we should not forget the
other martyrs of the workingcIass of
this country"
He referred to Joe Hill, killed in
Utah, Wesley Everett, murdered by
the American Legion in the state Of
Washington, the Chicago anarchists,
killed in 1886 and Tom Mooney and
Billings who are still in Jail
Powers Hapgood who presided at
the principal platform tolds the work
ers that Vanzetti informed him re-
Gently that if he lived he would de-
vote his time to release Mooney and
Billings.

justice Long live working class soli-
darity! Long live international soli-
darity!"
