SHOE WORKERS IN
BIC RALLY TODAY
Win Another Strike,
Call 2 More Today

At the mass meeting called by
the Independent Shoe Workers
Union for tonight in Lorraine Hall,
100 Broadway, Brooklyn, at
o'clock, the leaders of the organiza-
tion, in reporting the brilliant sue
cesses achieved, will be able to re-
port the winning of another strike.
The Franklyn Shoe Company of
Brooklyn, which declared for the
open shop last Thursday evening
and was tied up by strike since
the following Friday morning, was
compelled to capitulate, signing up
with the union yesterday. The
workers gained the wage increase
which precipitated the strike besides
better conditions contained in the
new agreement.
In addition to the above, the lead
ers will be able to tell the hundreds
of shoe workers who will come to
the meeting that two more nom
union shops have been called out on
strike with a unanimous response
from the workers in both shops.
These shops are: The Florell Shoe
Company and the Monte Carlo Shoe
Company, both on Powell st. in the
Brownsville section of Brooklyn.
Not quite 100 workers arc str;L;no
here.
Tremendous enthusiasm has been
awakened among the shoe workers
in, New York City by the victories
achieved almost daily by the union.
Scores of shops have been unionized
and thousands of workers have
joined the union. In settling with
the union, every one of the employ
ers was compelled to grant wage
increases and other union conditions.

GARMENT BOSSES
BEWAlL PLIGHT
Admit Union Growing,
Scab Union Bankrupt

In an appeal to the yellow leader
ship of the scab socialist Interna-
tional Ladies Garment Workers
Union to fight against the new Left
wing union, the employers in gar
ment manufacturing trades yester-
day gave conclusive evidence that
the brilliantly successful dressmak-
ers strike had struck fear of the new
union into their hearts.
The appeal appeared in the
form of a story printed yesterday
in the Women's Wear, an employ
ers' trade journal, in which tfe
opinions of number of employers
were recorded!
Despite the fact that it called on
their good friends, the socialist
union leaders, to become "active"
against the Left wing, the story
nevertheless disclosed the fact that
the bosses were frantic at the
growth of the new workers organ
ization and also that they consid-
cred the I.L.G.W.U. powerless to
do anything to halt this growth.
Some examples of the opinions Of
fered are interesting: observers
in the industry are inclined to be-
lieve that the so-called indifferent
attitude. of the right wing leaders
is by no means deliberate, we'll
thought-out method of reacting to
the doings of the rival union, but
a hidden confession of powerlessness
to deal with the situation in a de-
termined and definite manner"
Some more: "No matter what the
right wing leaders may say, the
truth is that the Left wing element
is making inroads into the industry"
Their fear expresses itself well
in this: at is pointed out by these
factors that the industry cannot af-
ford to be harrassed by one labor
faction and suffer from the supine-
ness of its rival"

pairing to extend its strike and or
ganizational activities in all depart
ments of the industrial union, dress,
fur and cloakmakers. Preparations
are now already being entered into
for the coming struggle in the fur
industry, which is expected to be as
highly successful in outcome as the
strike gives at this
time.
The union is preparing to launch
a campaign for the defense of all
against whom frame-up at
tempts are planned as result of
their activities in the dressmakers
strike.

bration of the tenth anniversary of
the founding of the Communist In

sued the following appeal to the
workers of the world:
"The Comintern was born in the
fire of the revolutionary struggle.
War had turned Europe into a

power of capitalism and established
a proletsrian dictatorship.

CAP MAKER OPEN
FORUM TONIGHT
Workers to Talk of
Unemployment

Members of the Capmakers Union
hore are being called TO an eren
forum meeting tonight in .1anlat-
tan Lyceum, sc East 4th St., at
o'clock to be held under the auspices
Of the capmakers section cf the
Trade Union Educational League.
The subject to be discussed Ly the
workers will be "Crimes committed
by the union administration against
tie unemployed ami jobless workers
in our trade"
Originally having control of an
unemployment funi of large propor-
tlons, the union officialdolh have
mismanaged it till not siagle cent
is left with which the union menoor
can be relieved during this critical
period of unemployment in the trade.
In addition to outright mismanage-
ment of whatever funds there were,
the administration refrained from
collecting the share due from en-
rluyers in CIDER to remaia in their
good gracas.
Since criticism is not permitted in
the union, loss of job and member
ship being the punishment, the work
ers are calling open forum meetings.
An example of this terrorism can
be seen in the following case: M.
Zwickel, a progressive, was some
time ago fined $50 for Distributing
leaflets criticizing the ad,ai'iistra-
tion. The worker was allowed to pay
it off by installments by the kindly
union dictators. Yesterday Hersch-
kowitz, Right wing official of the
union, came up to the shop where
he was employed and demanded S.

be allowed to pay two. He was turr.-
ed down, full five being demanded

unable to get more, the worker wa;
stopped from working in the middle
of the day and compelled to lose al
most days work, being reinstate(
only about noon the next day, wher
he had paid the full five demanded.

c. P. Delegate
Stopped Arms
For Kolchak

The most stirring speech in the
discussion on the war danger at the
Sixth Convention of the Workers
(Communist) Party, on Tuesday
night, was that of Scotty Carsten-
sen, longshoreman and Communist
delegate from Seattle, who led the
strike and picketing against the
shipment of American arms and
ammunition to Kolchak in 1918. 1t
shows what the struggle against the
war danger means when carried out
into practice. The speech follows:
Comrades, I have been requested
to give you the little inside of what
transpired on the steamship Delight
in the year 1918.

STRIKERS FREED
Rest Of Cases in Mass
Trial Up Monday

NEW BEDFORD, Mass, March
6.--Having bitten off far more thar
they could chew, the frame-up
courts of Massachusetts, yesterday
began to back out of the severe
sentences they had imposed on hum
dreds of. textile strikers. Instead
Of Jail sentences of varying length
they are putting the strikers on
probationary periods of one year
and six months.
In the Bristol County Court at
New Bedford, the appeals of the
662 New Bedford strikers began yes
terday. Over one hundred of these
cases were heard before Judge j.
Billan and six were sentenced to a
probation period of one year while
the rest are to be watched on pro-
baton for six months.
The judge declared he was releas-
ing the workers Sin the interest of
harmony between capital and labor
The courts are carrying out the
mill owners orders to establish no
precedent of having these cases
quashed. They therefore deny the
appeal, but nevertheless free the
workers out of fear for their power.
The thousands of workers in this
city accepted the verdict of the
courts in the first 100 cases as a
great victory for their strength and
determination. Not a single one of
the workers on trial has so much as
backed down a fraction of an inch
from his attitude of defiance of the
capitalist courts. "Nolo contendre''
