believe that such thing can be ac-
complished? 1t is a we'll known
fact that the courts and the police
will always lend their full authority
for the protection of strikebreakers
and that intimidation and terrorism
is usually practiced against the
strikers, but the strikers in no case
are permitted to practice any ter
rorism or intimidation against scabs,
This holds good in cases of the most
genuine strikers, where practically
100 per cent of the workers are out.
Would anyone believe that in case
where allegedly only an insignificant
minority are trying to cause strike
and the bulk of the workers are OPP
posed to it, that they can possibly
have any chance in the world tc
force a strike by alleged intimida-
ton and terrorism?
The Real Reason.
''If the employers and Stetsky
fear that the strike may be sue
cessful, it is because they know
very well that the great majority
Of the fur workers are determined
to fight for union conditions.
II had a recent opportunity t.
personally investigate the conditions
prevailing now in the fur trade.

speak of any real collective agree.
ments in the fur trade is to con.
sciously misrepresent the situation
There may be agreements, but they
are not worth the paper on which
they are written. 1t is an unchal.
Ilengeable fact that there are at pres.
ent no union conditions enforced in
the fur trade and that the conditions
prevailing in the fur shops are I'M
bearable and border on the sweat
shop conditions of olden times. In
fact, conditions are so unbearable
that the fur workers see no other
way out except to go out on strike
and fight for real conditions.
SIT is because of this determina-
ton on the part of the furriers
that all the employers associa-
tions have banded together against
the fur workers.
This open alliance of the entire
4. F. of L. with employers asso-
Citations cannot be signified other
wise than an open betrayal of the
workers.
Because of this situation, I feel
it the duty of every trade unionist
to rally to the support of the COM
ing fur workers strike. For my
self, I wish to offer to the fur
workers any possible cooperation in
their coming struggle"

was unceremoniously fired by the
corrupt Zaritsky machine at the last
packed convention held recently in
this city, because Budish exposed
the anti-union activities of the
clique before the delegates.
Referring to the appeal to Sam
uel Untermyer by the American
Federation of Labor, the fur manu-
fscturers' associations and the Joint
Council, which appeared in the
Times en- June 6, Budish writes:
Analyses Alliance.
"This open alliance between the
American Federation of Labor, the
Furriers Joint Council and the en-
ployers for the purpose of taking
joint action against a strike would
no doubt be considered a crime even
by the most rabid pure and simple
trade unionist.
"The Times account quotes a
statement by Charles Stetsky, man
ager of the Joint Council, to the eff
feet that the workers are presum-
ably bitterly opposed to the strike
Stetsky says: And certainly, the
employers, whose businesses have
been seriously affected are also OPP
posed to the calling of the strike "
Fear Success of Strife.
Commenting on this, Budish says
eff the workers are opposed to the
strike, who in heaven can make
them strike? And why bring in
the opposition of the employers to
the strike at all? Or is it because,
as Mr.. Stetsky goes on to say, that
the left wing union might never
theless succeed in carrying on a
successful strike and because of
that fear the employers and the
workers have banded together for
the purpose of inviting Mr.. Inter
myer to come to their rescue
The letter continues:
Needless to say to any trade
unionist with any experience at all
this alleged banding together of
the employers and the workers
must sound very suspicious. On
the face of it, it can have only one
meaning, viz, that the Furriers
Joint Council put itself at the SER
vice Of the employers, who fear
the coming strike of the fur work
ers and who are making all pos
sible preparations to defeat it.
eff it were true, as Stetsky al
leges, that the fur workers are so
bitterly opposed to a strike and that
only few Communists will attempt
by intimidation and terrorism to
force them into strike, would any
enc with any common sense really

being that of Ben Turner, one of the
leaders of the general strike be-
trayal who will be parliamentary
secretary of mines.
Another appointment of interest
was that of A. w. H. PSnsonby as
parliamentary under-secretary of
dominions. The failure of MacDon-
aid to name Ponsonby to a position
in the foreign office was an admis-
sion on the mess made in foreign
affairs in the labor government of
1924.
Macdonald held both of the pre-
miership and the foreign office port
folios in the former labor cabinet
and Ponsonby was foreign under
secretary then.

The general feeling that the an
nouncements of MacDonald's intend
ed visit aroused here was that the
new British premier will be "pie"
for the experienced imperialist,
Hoover, and the men that make up
his cabinet.
They announced that they well
come his visit and will be glad to

The Gastonia strike, the first of

For the purpose of mobilizing for

among thousands of unorganized of
New York shoe workers, the indie
pendent Shoe Workers Union is call
ing a mass meeting for tomorrow
night at Arcadia Hall, 91S Halsey
St., Brooklyn. For the past three
months the union has been conduct
ing strikes against eight Board of
Trade and the Shoe Manufacturers

the bosses to break the strike.
Strikers Firm.
The most recently victory won by
the union was against the Lipp Shoe
Company, which signed an agree
ment acceeding to all the demands
Of the strikers.
In the face of mass arrests, in
functions, police intimidations and
gangsterism the strikers stand firm
in their demands for recognition of
the union, higher wages and the
44-hour week.
On the eve of a new season, the
bosses are frantic with fear for it
is only the combined financial as.
sistance of the bosses in the Board
of Trade and Associated Shoe Manu-
facturers that thus far has saved
such firms as Arthur Bender, Grit
fin & White, and Curt Wolfelt from
bankruptcy. They realize that dur
ing the next few weeks they will
be forced either to sign with the
union or go out of business.
To meet this situation the union
is urging all workers to attend the
mass meeting. Among the speakers
will be Ben Gold of the Needle
Trades Industrial Union, T. G.
Biedenkapp, general manager of the
Independent Shoe Workers Union,
and Joe Magliacano, organizer of
the union, who will speak in Italian.

that this will be fixed at about 8
per cent. The new law puts it up
to the tenants to prove that the
landlord is getting more than his
precious s per cent.
! According to the best opinion, the
new law will enable the landlords to
pad their expense accounts, to sell
properties from fictitious companies
controlled by them and allow the
holding companies to charge exor-
bitant rents. The tenants will gain
nothing and the landlords will be
allowed to do as they please.
Expose Fake Law.
The Harlem Tenants League yes
terday issued a statement exposing
this fake rent law. The League
Points out that, though the law was
passed as a result of mass pressure
exerted by tenants under the lead
ership of the Harlem Tenants
League, the Communist Party and
the American Negro Labor Con-
gress, it is an attempt to dupe the
tenants and deliver them more Sc
curely into the landlords clutches
At its overwhelmingly successful
meeting on Monday night, at which
sc new members were enrolled, the
League adopted the following pro-
gram for immediate action:
1. The organization of all
working class tenants into strong,
fighting Leagues, such as the
Harlem Tenants League.
2. The formation of House
Committees in every tenement in
Harlem.
3. The formation of Block Com
mittees representing and uniting
every House Committee in the
block. All these Committees to
be united through the Harlem
Tenants League.
A. The Committees and the
League to prepare for and TO call
a rent strike against rent raises
and dispossesses where other
means fail.
5. The calling of a city-wide
Conference of Tenants Leagues,
House and Block Committees, la
Dor unions, shop committees, fra
ternal organizations and other
sympathetic bodies to unity the
fight against high rents, dispos-
sesses and vile housing conditions.
FURTHER PROPOSALS.
In addition, the League proposes;
1, A permanent law which
will: a. Fix rent for wage earn
ers upon the basis of their real
need and scale of wages. b. For
bid the eviction of unemployed
workers. c. Against discrimina-
ton in the sale and renting of
houses or apartments. d. Pro-
vide for municipality built houses
for workers at cost and for gov
eminent loans to workers build
ing co-operatives.
2. A housing and sanitary law
which will compel decent health
and safety standards and which
will provide for the rigid enforce
ment of these standards by COM
polling landlords to maintain SER
vice and to make necessary re-
pairs.
