BOSSES DEMAND
TA|LORS' SCALPS
Get Opportunity Thru
Yellow Officials

Another conference between the
employers and the right wing Of
ficials of the Ladies Tailors' Local
3S will be held today. The APP
preaching expiration of the present
agreement was used by the bosses
as an opportunity to present a Sc
ries of drastic demands for lower
ing the conditions of the union
members, due to the fact that the
union was weakened by the right
wing clique now in power here and
in the International. A statement
was issued to the press by the left
wing workers in that organization
that states in part:
"The decentralization of the ladies'
tailoring trade and also in Local 38,
due to the policy of the right wing
clique now in power, was brought
to such point that when the agree
ment is about to expire the en-
ployers have the audacity to put up
demands to the union which, if ac-
cepted, would destroy the conditions
that the workers have won after
twenty years struggle.
at is clear that if the clique in
the international had not created
this. situation in the union, the en-
ployers would not have dared to put
up such demands to the local.
"At the membership meeting held
Thursday night, August %, at the
Central Opera House, 9th st. and
Third Ave, the agreement that the
Couturier Association presented to
Local 3S was read. This agreement
was unanimously rejected.
"The reading of the impossible
demands of the employers caused
many members of Local SO to stand
up and demand that the general
membership meeting elect two addi-
tional members to the Conference
Committee that was appointed by
the Executive Board of Local SO, in
view of the struggle that the local
will have to wage This justifiable
demand was rejected by the right
wing chairman"

U. S. S. R.-BRITISH
WOODWORKERS IN
UNITY PROGRAM
Promise Mutual Aid;
to Fight War

MOSCOW, U. S. S. R. (By Mail).
A further step towards the soli-
darity of the international working
class and towards mutual assistance
in time of conflict was taken by the
woodworkers' unions of the Soviet
Union and of Britain when both or
CARNATIONS ratified their agreement
for the formation of an Anglo-Rus-
sian Woodworkers Committee.
The chief task of this committee
is to render mutual, moral and ma
terial support in strikes and lock-
outs. The participants in the com
mittee also undertake to fight
theoretically against international
strikebreaking and against the re-
formist slogan of class peace in
industry.
The political significance of the
unity committee is further evidenced
by its agreement to work for the
prevention of the descriptive tactics
Of the imperialists and for the pre-
vention of imperialist war.
The initiatory conference of the
new Anglo-Russian Committee will
take place in autumn when a pro-
gram of action will be worked out
and the practical tasks of the COM
mittee set.

A survey of "a cities made by the

points out that the Kellogg Pact loses value above
