By CLARA MELTZER.

A large number of women work.
ers are employed in the fur indus
try, a luxury craft in the needle
trades. In fact, there is no fur shop
where women are not employed.
The conditions of the women fur
riers ere miserable; the specd-up
system is intense; the wages are
low; the hours are long; the period
C employment is short, and long
periods OF unemployment follow.
When there is work, workers are
rushed under the excuse that the
garment being made is a special
or that the rich lady to whom the
garment belongs must make a train.
At many occasions the finishers
working on rich lady's garment
are not allowed to go down for
lunch until the garment is finished.
The hours are 10 to IL a day,
part of which is called overtime,
but which is paid for as regular
time. The work is hard and I'M
sanitary. After a short time of
working long hours during the sea-
son, handling the hairy fur coats
containing all sorts of sharp chem
icals and paints, workers often con-
tract tuberculosis. Dark and filthy
shops add to those bad conditions.
No insurance is provided for women
workers in case of such sickness
or for unemployed workers.
The women workers played a
prominent part in the famous fur
strike Of 1926. They were seen in
large numbers on the picket lines
where many were arrested and
beaten by the polis.,. During the II
weeks of struggle, the women fur
workers bravely resisted the club
bling of the police and the Jail SEN
fnses. They eagerly participated

Women Workers Militant
IN Fur Industry Struggle

! in the mass meetings called by the
Joint Board and in all other strike
activities led by the left wing. When
an attempt was made to break the
strike, an attempt made by the
International union after a secret
conference with the bosses at Wash
ington, d. c., the women furriers
as well as the men crowded into
Carnegie Hall and voiced vigorous
protest which resulted in the failure
Of the conspiracy. After short
period, the bosses were forced to
give in, they were powerless against
the vigorous strikers and victori-
Gus settlement followed.
At that time the women workers,
as we'll as the men, enjoyed better
conditions in the shops: higher
wages, far shorter hours with the
abolition of overtime. Many unor-
ganized women joined the union
and took direct interest in its
struggles. The reactionary Interna-
tional and the ALL. could not very
well digest the progress and control
the left wing enjoyed in the fur
shops. The reactionaries made a
deal NTH the bosses, a promise to
bring about the same conditions as
existed before the strike; the work
ers were thrown down from jobs if
they refused to register with the
international.
The Joint Board declared a strike
against the bosses and the reaction
airy international. The workers re-
sponded with the same spirit Of
1926. The traitorous international
provided fur manufacturers with
scabs. Women and men furriers
picketcd the shops in spite of the
injunctions issued. Wholesale ar.
rests followed; many women served
Jail terms as brayely as they did
picket duty. i 1880 ". ------ -

ers who are willing to fight to-
gether with US to better the con-
ditions of the working class as a
whole.
Since we are minority group we
cannot make this fight alone, nor
can the white worker better his own
conditions without fighting together
with US against the whole system
of oppression.
We all know about the American
Federation of Labor and it's policy
towards the Negro worker. In
spite of it's general constitution and
declaration, that it does not discrim-
mate against the Negro, its af-
filiated bodies do, and during it's
40 years or more of existence it
has never made serious effort to
organize the Negro workers. 1t is
only interested in the Negro worker
insofar as he can be prevented from
scabbing on his white fellow worker,
but has r,ver pre--entcr the White
Unions from scabbing on TIE Negro
workers. While there are a few A..
F. of L. unions which, under pres
sure, have admitted some Negro
workers, the general policy is to
organize Jim Grow Unions for them
in order to tie their hands and keep
them on the lowest economic level
of all the workers.
This organ.-ation has been be-
traying both white and black work
ers for years. Typical of it's atti-
tude toward the Negro workers who
are a part of the great mass
of unskilled workers was it's
betrayal last year of the pro-

posed strike of the Pullman Porters.
Even its so-called recognition to-
day of the Pullman Porters' Brother
hood is a classical example of its
treachery. The methods of these
fakirs in issuing charters to each
local of the Brotherhood instead of
a national charter to the Brother
hood as a whole is simply designed
to weaken and destroy the organ
ization and prevent its development
into a fighting union. Negro work
ers thruout the United States will
never forget the traitorous role of
this Jim Crow, >Ku Klux organ
ization.
The Trade Union Educational
League and those who support it
are the only organizations that have
carried on a fight for the organ
ization of all workers regardless of
race, nationality or color. It's policy
in the various unions has been to
carry on consistent fight for the
admittance of Negroes and the
breaking up Of the exclusion policy
of these fakirs for many years. The
T. U. E. L., which is the American
Section of the Red International of
Labor Unions is still carrying on
the fight against the traitorous lead
ership of the A. F. of L. for the
organization of Negro workers int
all its affiliated unions that bar
them and to force them to admit
them on equal basis with the white
workers. 1t has also fostered new
unions as the Needle Trades who
recently carried on a successful
strike against the bosses, Textile

and new Miners Union. There are
almost the only unions in existence
which practice absolute equality
for all workers regardless of race,
and has Negro as well as white
workers on all leading committees.
AS examples of the fact that
these unions practice what they
preach, we have VIM. Boyce, Ne
gro miner, vice-president of the New
Miners Union, Henry Rosemond,
who was one of the first workers
beaten up by the police during the
recent Needle trade strike in New
York City, and who is member
of the General Executive Board of
the Needle Trades Industrial Union.
Virginia Allen, a colored woman
, needle worker, is also member of
this Executive Board.
The Trade Union Unity Conven-
ton is called for the purpose of
uniting all groups of organized and
unorganized workers into a solid
united fighting front against the
bosses.
This Convention, which is of par
ticular interest for Negro workers,
will deal with all problems affect
ing the unorganized Negro and
white workers.
1t will fight against capitalist
wars, which draft the Negro work
ers as tools and cannon fodder tc
help conquer the workers of other
races and nationalities and Their
deny these workers rights as cit.
liens after their return. 1t will
fight for the organization of the
oppressed Negro women workers
and will carry on a strenuous fight
against child labor.
1t will fight for social insurance
which will benefit the workers who
are injured by the speed-up system
and who are forced to retire from
work at an early age because Of
disability.
1t will advance the platform Of
International Trade Union Unity
1t will organize the workers, blacl
and white, on an industrial basis in
stead of the narrow craft basis b.
the A. F. of L.
1t will fight for the admittanc'
of all Negro seamen and dock work
ers, etc., into the various union!
that discriminate against them, o.
failing in this, it will organize new
unions of white and Negro workers
in these industries.
1t will create one common trad,
union center for all class struggl,
organizations.
All groups of organized and un
organized Negro workers must ge
together and elect delegates to sent
to this convention.
This is our opportunity to figh
against race discrimination and bet
