DRESS WORKERS
RALLY TO STRIKE
Nominate Delegates at
Webster Hall Meet

After thorough analys.5 of the
situation in the industry, and a dis
cussion of the general strike and
the bearing the convention will have
on this momentous question, many
hundreds of members of the Dress
makers Union Local %, showed
conclusively that they understood
that fight against the bosses and
the right wing was necessary be-
fore they will gain union conditions
and an organized industry. Nomin-
atoms for delegates to the national
convention of cloak and dressmak-
ers were also made.
After a report was delivered by
Charles S. Zimmerman and Rose
Wortis, both officers of the Nation
al Organization Committee, on the
present situation in the dress indus
try and on the convention, discus
sion participated in by many rank
and filters took place.
Particularly enthusiastic were the
when the forthcoming
amalgamation of their organization
with that of the fur workers, was
taken up for discussion. Unquali-
fled and unanimous approval was
given this step taken by their left
wing leadership. The discussion
brought out that with strike i'm
a mighty union of the most
needle trades workers
has far greater chance for sue
ness in it's campaigns against the
bosses than a smaller union has.

in order to regain the union condi-
lions lost by the betrayals. and SELL
outs of the right wing must rally all
their available forces to present a
really formidable front to manufac-
turers. In this respect it was shown
that the fur bosses were at this mo-
ment in midst of conferences for
an amalgamation of their own for
ces for a concerted attack against
the left wing Joint Board. This was
discussed in the report and sum-
mary of Ben Gold, manager of the
Joint Board.
In arguing against amalgamation,
those in disagreement at the begin
ming said that since the union faces
fight with the bosses we should
wait till that is settled first. This
very argument was used by the ad-
vocates of the merger of the unions
to point out the illogical stand they
were taking. Just because we face
a fight, they said, we must seek
allies in the cloak and dressmakers
who face the same problems we do.
Only thus will be succeed in forcing
recognition of the bosses, they de-
clared.

RIOT over DAM
BILL IN SENATE
OF ARIZONA
Punch Governors Jaw
During Boulder Row

PHOENIX, Arizona, Nov. PA
free for all fight, in which mem
bers of the state senate now in ses-
sion to consider the Swing-Johnson
Boulder Dam question rallied at each
other, and slugged right and left,
was the feature of today's chapter
of the interminable argument about
whether the Arizona electric power
interests or the California real es-
tate boomers shall utilize the Colo
RADIO River.
In the course of the battle, Gov
ernor Hunt, retired at the last cleo
ton but still in office, caught a
loose one on the jaw, from the fist
of Senator Golfer, and reeled back
against the wall.
Fight for Water.
The Swing-Johnson bill, which
will come up before congress at the
next session, proposes a dam at
Boulder Canyon, and the diversion
of the water of the Colorado to
southern California for irrigation
purposes.
The profits would go to the early
bird realtors of California who are
in congress by Senator
Hiram Johnson, and who have
bought up tracts of the land to
hold for the raise in prices when
and if the dam is built.
Senator Johnson returned to
today. to make minor
engineering changes in the bill and
to polish up the machine he relies
on to shove it through congress,
against the opposition of Arizona
capitalists.

20 WORKERS JOIN
union AS RESULT
OF Member DRIVE
Many Negroes Among
New Applicants

More than 40 open shops in the
window cleaning business were
visited by union organizers yesterday
in the first concerted move to or
ganize the entire industry, accord
ing to an announcement made yes
terday by Harry Feinstein, secretary
of the Window Cleaners Protective
Union, Local 8.
AS a result of this drive, which
was carefully prepared during the
past two weeks, more than twenty
new members joined the union,
Feinstein said.
Union Answers Injunction
This intensive organizing drive,
Feinstein said, is the unions answer
to the anti-picketing injunction
which the bosses have tried to foist
on the workers union. The injunc-
ton was secured by the Spanier
Window Cleaning Co., GO Barclay
ST., an open shop plant against
which the union is directing a strike.
Most heartening, the secretary
said, is the application of many
Negroes for membership in the
union. The Negro workers, he said,
are beginning to realize that their
hope for complete racial, economic
and political freedom and equality
can only be secured in co-operaticn
with their white fellow workers.
Many of the smaller bosses, Fem
stein said, who are terrified at the
thought of being driven out of bust
ness by a strike have come to the
union offices and asked for the
unions terms.
The demands of the union are:
q A hours week; a minimum wage
scale Of $45, recognition of the
union, and no discharging of wor-
kers without the consent of the
union.
