ARTICLES IN new
LABOR UNITY
Watt, Weisbord Write
For June Number

With Weisbord writing on the New
Bedford textile strike. and with John
Watt, the chairman of the Pittsburgh
National "Save the Miners Union
Conference describing the latest de-
velopments in the great fight to drive
the reactionaries out of control of
the United Mine Workers and win the
coal strike, with William z. Foster
explaining and denouncing the Nit
ten-Mahon agreement in traction, the
June issue of Labor Unity appears.
"The miners go on to their district
conventions" says Watt, and illus
trates by examples, the strategy Of
the left wing forces, and its growing
success. Already the larger districts
have unseated the machine officials in
meetings representing. the locals and
sub-districts.
"A most significant strike in the
heart of the cotton goods industry,
which is the bigger, basic side of the
textile industry seldom affected by
large scale struggles, though most
exploited" is the gist of Weisbord's
analysis, and he calls on all labor to
rally to the aid of New Bedford strik-
ers.
There are articles on the Interna-
tional Ladies' Garment Workers
convention and the Amalgamated
Clothing Workers convention, on the
coming carpenters convention, on the
internal feuds in Chang Kai-shek's
militarist government, and the rising
tide of worker-peasant revolution in
China, on the textile situation in Eng
land, where the employers contem-
plate lockout of $4,000 workers this
month, and 100000 may strike, on the
Red international of Labor Unions
Congress, on the place of William D.
Haywood in American labor history,
on the rising militancy of women in
the mine fields, on the betrayal of the
taxi strike in Newark, and the present
situation in the Cleaners and Dyers'
Unions, as well as other features.

CLOAK DELEGATES
OPEN MEET TODAY
Conference First Step
to Real Union
Continued from pcge ome)

Continued from page 0ne)
ference tomorrow will be to give fit
ting answer to the newest swindle the
Sigman-Schlesinger gang is trying to
perpetrate. This is the proclamation
issued yesterday over the signature of
Schlesinger which he printed in the
Forward and had distributed in leaf
let form.
With a once powerful organization,
completely shattered by himself, Sig
man and their followers, staring him
in the face, Schlesinger hypecritically
calls for "Peace" and Unity on the
terms of the fake manifesto issued
by the convention of union wreckers
held recently in Boston which rules
opponents of progressive policies,
Communists, who can never hold Of
flee. In this leaflet Schlesinger also
calls the workers to attend the meet
ing to celebrate Sigman's victory" in
obtaining on paper what the workers
won in the bitter strike Of 1926, name
ly the 40-hour week.
The meeting as well as the new
Schlesinger proclamation meets with
the ridicule of the cloak and dress
makers. They clearly see that the
reason for both is to propaganda for
the payment of the day tax, which
was the outcome of the fake conven
ton.
The conference today effectively
answers not only this latest fake
vancouver of the right wing, but will
also decide it's attitude toward the
meeting to celebrate" Sigman's paper
40-hour week.
The representatives of the tens of
thousands of exploited workers in the
industry will also erect permanent
functioning machine of shop chair
men, whose task it will be to carry
into practice all the decisions passed
at the conference. The conference
will also produce real plans for the
effective enforcement of the 40-hour
week and all other union conditions in
the trade.

IA. The strike meetings of the Tex
tile Mill Committee are held several
times week and each meeting shows
an increase of several hundreds of
strikers. The Textile Council meet
ings, on the other hand, are becoming
less and less attended.

a few followers on the other side of
the street, watching the strikers, their
wives and children march up and down
the gates.
Well founded rumors are rife that
the majority of the mill owners will
finally make concerted effort to re-
open the mills Monday morning with
strikebreakers. The answer of the
Textile Mill Committee leadership to
this is the rapid mobilization of the
largest picket lines yet thrown around
the plants.

one of the few plants not attempting
the cut in wages which led to the
present strike Of $4,000 workers, are

ing the last few weeks the owners of
the Beacon Mills have installed
new system of production that forces
a great increase in the amount of
work turned out by the individual
worker for the same pay. The work
ers at meetings declare that the
speed-up is SO viciously intense, it is
unbearable. An immediate walkout
is the demand of the men, but the Of
ficials Of the skilled workers union
are seeking negotiations with the boss
in an attempt to avert it.

however, that Prof. Copeland of Col

course at Pueblo.
DR.. Charles A. Lory of Colorado

being recipient of expense money
to meeting of the utilities education
committee.
Several checks for S25 to E. Hofer
