Patronize Firm

Picketing Of Silvers' Restaurants is
being actively carried on by striking
members Of Bakers Local ! of the
Amalgamated Food Workers against
the attempt by the chain restaurant
combine to break down union condi-
tons in the industry.
Particular efforts are being direct
ed against the firms places of bust
ness. at 7th Ave. and 36th st. and
18th Ave. and 10th St. Following a
number of arrests on trumped up
charges made by the restaurant own
ers of union pickets who were let out
on $500 bail, the union has made an
appeal to the workers of the city to
refuse to patronize the establish
ments of Silvers' Restaurants. Until
recently the firm dealt with the union
but has decided to go open shop in
an attempt to force down the wage
levels in the trade. Other places of
business of this open shop company
are located at 100 East 41st St., SO
Beaver st. and SO Park Row.

Realizing the Importance of this
day, which in 1886 marked the awak-
ening of the workers of America to
class consciousness, the women call
upon all their affiliated groups and
neighborhood organizations to join
with them in this mass gathering, to
show that women too have awakened
to class consciousness and recognize
themselves as part of the interna-
tional labor movement.
More than a thousand women, they
declare, will come May LIST with ban

senting the councils and other wom-
ems organizations in every section of

establishment Of union conditions
in the ladies' garment industry.
In a series of resolutions, the con-
ference delegates, representing the
sentiment of thousands of workers in
the shops, bitterly criticised the ac-
ton of some of the 'leaders" of the
Committee of Fifty, endorsing Ben
jamin Schlesinger for president of
the International.
In the lengthy discussion on this
question, the delegates condemned the
action of Saul Shelly, secretary of
the Committee, who endorsed Schles-
myers candidacy as delegate from
the right wing Local 2 by issuing
circulars signed with the name of the
Committee of Fifty. Shelly and his
followers were also condemned for
sending letter to Pres. Green of the
American Federation of Labor.
It was pointed out that Shelly's be-
lief that Schlesinger's victory over
Sigman for the unions presidency
would mean an end to the war in the
union was completely false. Schles-
inger's supporters were pointed to by
the speakers as proof of this conten-
ton. "In addition to the support of
such fascists as Breslau, Ninfo, and
Dubinsky, the Schlesinger clique has
a record as black as Sigman's when
he was at the head of the union a
number of>years ago." were the state
ments made on the floor of the con-
ference. The gangsterism of Sigman
will no more rebuild the union, than
will the fascism of Schlesinger," they
charged ..e-.~.---
After declaring that the workers in
the shops had no illusions in regards
to the coming fake convention which
is completely controlled by the Sig
man and Schlesinger groups, the res
olutions declared: (1) That they DO
rot endorse Schlesinger as the heads
Of the committee did; (2) that such
action is declared to be contrary to
the sentiment of the last conference
of shop chairmen.
Another resolution set forth the
opinion that the workers should rally
round the Committee of Fifty for the
rebuilding of the once powerful union.
A delegation of 10 was also elected
to go to the convention to demand an
end to the destructive war carried on
BY the officialdom Of the Information
al union.

The response which the Save-the-
Union Committee has already received
from the unorganized fields of West
Pennsylvania is an indication of the
fact that the miners from this section
have regained their confidence in the
new progressive forces which are tax
ing over the United Mine Workers.
In 1922, John L. Lewis betrayed
100000 miners in this section when he
refused to include them in a settle
ment made for the other miners. Since
then these miners have refused to
come out when strikes have been
called by the Lewis machine. AS the
Save-the- Union movement developed,
however, information was received
that large number would come out
under the new leadership which they
trusted. Over $4,000 have since re-
sponded.
