have registered at the regular week.
ly open forum in Bryant Hall.
The right wing machine in the l.
L. G. w. and the equally reaction
airy international Fur Workers
Union are finding it necessary to
form fake cleft wing groups" among
their membership to try and hold
them in the old unions. These
"lefts" use radical phrases and slo-
gans to fool the workers, but, of
course, do not do left deeds, and
will soon be found out.
The needle trades workers have
been victimized in many court cases.
The Mineola cases are typical. The
framed-up furriers in that case are
coming up on trial again soon,
after lengthy legal procedures.
The union is being reorganized
on the shop delegate system.
Two Strike Situations.
In addition to the strike situa-
ton in New York, there is another
in Boston, where the cloak and dress
makers agreement expires, The
reactionary !. L, G. w. is putting
out a fake strike call, using SINH
lar tactics to those in New York.
The propaganda of the right wing
in both cities is that it is "stabiliz-
ing the cloak and dress trades" for
the benefit of the workers. EX-
perience has shown that this stabil-
izing, in which the bosses cooperate
by locking out supposedly striking
workers, is for the interests of the
employers and their lieutenants, the
reactionary !. L. G. w. leaders. The
bosses emerge with a stronger in
ternal organization and the work
ers with worse conditions, and a
company union.
In Chicago the employers are lock-
ing out the millinery workers. The
right wing Zaritsky leadership in
the Cloth Hat, Cap and Millinery
Workers Union has practically
wrecked the organization by class
collaboration tactics, and by the SELL
out method, and now the employers
are many of them deciding that they
do not need even a Zaritsky union.
Rank and File Control.
The right wing is levying a SIS as
sessment outside of Chicago, to sup
port the locked out Chicago work
ers, they clai, The policy of the
T. U. U. L. members in the old
is to demand real solidarity
with the locked out millinery work
ers, and particularly rank and file
control of the fund assembled by
this assessment.
Battle Stars.
The T. U. U. L. national board
lays down as a policy for all mem
bers in the New York and Boston
strikes, activity-no passive reaction
to the fake stoppage. The Needle
Trades Workers Industrial Union
must militantly attack the employ
ers, without waiting for the right
wing fake strike, and by continu-
Gus strike action wherever it is
needed, force the employers to live
up to their contracts, and to grant
union conditions and wages where
contracts have not been obtained,
There will be sharp struggle, be-
fore, during and after the right wing
fake stoppage. The N. It. w. I. U.
must lead the mil can't New York
workers, veterans of many and Bit
ter struggles, to win everywhere the
workers demands. The 4. u. U. L.
has confidence that by unceasing
struggle until victory is obtained,
the masses of the needle workers, in
New York and in other cities, will
be brought into single, strongly
Needle Trades Workers.
