PLAN DISTRICT
DRESS RALLIES
Union to Build Picket
Committee of 1000

Every borough in New York will
this week see one or more meetings
each to which all dressmakers will
be called by the dress department of
the Needle Trades Workers Indus
trial Union. This, after the general
mass meeting held Wednesday night
in Cooper Union, will be the first
direct move to organize til e
machinery for the coming organiza-
tional strike in the dress manufac-
turing industry.
At the Joint Board headquarters
announcement was yesterday made
that full designation for the meet
ings' time and places will be made
as soon as possible. 1t is expected
that the meetings will extend over a
longer period than week.
The union is now concentrating
on the campaign to enroll volunteers
to make up an Reorganization Com
mittee of 1000" Even though the
official call for volunteers to this
committee has not yet been issued,
scores of applicants have already
given evidence that the response to
the call will be met with enthusiastic
answer from the workers.
Meanwhile President Hyman and
General Secretary Ben Gold were
scheduled to speak at mass ANAL
gamation meeting of cloak, dress
and fur workers in Boston. At this
meeting the workers there will be
told of the decision to call general
strike in the dress industry here,
will be asked to give active support
to the struggle and are then to ANAL
gamate into one local needle trades
workers organization.
Benjamin Schlesinger, scab union
chieftain, was also to speak at a
Boston meeting last night. Although
both meetings are to be held too late
in the evening for the Daily Work
err to get reports before it goes to
press, the events there will
be interesting to set down, since SEN
timent beforehand showed that a
huge turnout was to come to the
new union.
The General Executive Board,
though having the problem of rally
ing national support for the dress
strike already under consideration
will, it is expected, announce soon
what additional steps it will take
to secure this active participation of
the workers outside New York in
the fight there.

Workers to See the Duncan
Dancers Tomorrow, Sunday

Hundreds of working class chill
dren are going to have a special
holiday tomorrow. They are all go
ing to see the Isadora Duncan Dane
ers at Manhattan Opera House,
34th St., west of Eighth Ave.
The Daily Worker has, by special
arrangement, secured this remark
able dance troupe from the Isadora
Duncan school in Moscow for three
more performances in response to
the demands of thousands of work
ers who were either unable to get
in at the fifth anniversary celebra-
ton of the DAILY" last Saturday or
who want to see the Duncan Dane
ers again before they leave for their
tour thruout the country.
The performance tomorrow after
noon has been arranged especially
for children. Members of the Young
Pioneers and pupils of the various
left wing schools will attend the
performance in a bloc and be adj
mitted at reduced rates. Pioneer
leaders and teachers at workers
schools who want to make arrange
ments for their children are asked
to communicate with the office of
the Daily Worker at once as accom-
modations are limited.
The last two performances of the
Duncan troupe will be given Sun
day afternoon and evening. The
program includes many numbers
never performed before as well as
the famous series, Impressions of
Revolutionary Russia" that created
such stir last Saturday night.
These are positively the last ap-
pearances of the Duncan troupe in
this city. Get your tickets at once
if you don't want to miss them.
They are on sale at the Daily Work
er, rs Union Square.

Jail 2 Fur Frame-Mb Victims.
Seven Others on Trial Monday

The two fur workers, who are VIC
tins of the anti-strike frame-up in
Mineola, Long Island, were yester-
day compelled to surrender TO the
police and start serving their sem
tence of from two and a half to five
years in Sing Sing prison. They
are Leo Franklin and M. Maxim.
The seven other fur workers, who
were originally included in the
frame-up, but who were recently
granted a new trial by the New
York State Court of Appeals, were
informed by the district attorney
that the date for their new trial has
been set for Monday. The trial is

Bowden. England, May s1 LP- Sometime in July, if shed trials scheduled for the early part of the month satisfy experts of the British air ministry, the new 1O0-passen nger dirigible R-1O0 will cast on it's first trial flight.
 Five million cubic feet of hydro- gen gas will be piped into the great airship's bags when it is completed. The dirigible then, without budging from its immense hangar, will be subjected to tests of its lifting pow CT and equilibrium.
 Something of the magnitude of this indoor tryout may be imagined when 1t is recalled that the R-100 is about the size of the steamship Mauretania.
 Several trial flights over England are expected before the ship att empts a transatlantic cruise to Montreal. One of these early flights will take her to the Royal Airship works at Darlington, 200 miles south of her in Bedfordshire, where her sister ship, the R-101, will be given shed test.
 Statements made in parliament by Sir Samuel Hoare, secretary of state for air. have been to the effect that both the R-1OO and the R-1O1 will be flown on long distance cruises this fall--the R-100 to Canada and tho R 101 <o India E,pvpf and n0ssi. bly, Australia.
 Completion of the two ships comes at least a year later than originally expected but, as pointed out by Sir Samuel. both represent a great step forward in size. and en- body novel principles of design which must be worked out with cer-
