velopment had occurred over the week

to indicate the temper of the Specu-

It appears that whenever there Is
plenty of time to Judge the speculative
situation impartlally there Is q decided
trend toward conservatism and an in
clination on the part Of the traders to
strengthen their financial positions. Al
though almost every financial adviser
is recommending these very tactics, the
opinion Of the majority on the trend
of the market has seldom proved cor
rect, in the past. Has the situation
changed today?
More Intelligent Trading.
In several important essentials 1t

average trader today is unquestionably
better informed about security markets
than he has ever been before. Bankers.
brokers, statistical services, news Serv-

The militant workers in all indus

generally, must mobilize their forces

struggle.
All Must Aid.
The dressmakers must not be left
to fight alone. The forces which the
bosses can mobilize are tremendous,
but with the support of the entire
left wing in the trade union move
ment, especially in the needle trades,
the bosses can be defeated; the con-
ditions Of the workers improved, and
the new union established. The Trade
Union Educational League calls up
on the workers in all industries to
give financial and moral aid to the
strike. Immediate steps should be
taken in every locality to set up
committees to support the struggle
of the needle workers. Preparations

italist courts and police, will be
open and evident to every worker.
The t. U. Z. L. calls upon you,
workers, to meet these attacks by
uniting your ranks in the shops and
intensifying this struggle on every
front; by defying injunctions, and
turning out en- masse on the picket
lines.
Fake Peace Maneuvers.
The efforts of the reactionary So
ciaiist leadership to serve the bosses
now take the form of various "peace
maneuvers," "unity proposals." etc.,
in order to create illusions among
the workers and thereby democrat
izing them. Your only answer to
this must be unity of the workers
in the shops against all enemies, the
bosses and their agents. They will
then come out more openly for the
bosses and resort to gangster at
tacks against the striking workers.
The left wing leadership must not
underestimate the strikebreaking
role Of these reactionary right wing
clements, but from the beginning
must expose their maneuvers and
on the basis of their activity in be-
half of the bosses in the strike, de-
cisively struggle to win the masses
CT workers away from them and for
the new union. This can be accom-
plished by carrying the full econ
omic program of the new union to
the great masses of the needle
trades workers and drawing them
nilitantly into the fight for these
demands. Only by the most militant
struggle against these betrayers OF
the labor movement and with the
support of all left wing working
class organizations and left wing
workers can the needle trades
workers win their demands.
T.. U. E. l.. Asks Solidarity.
The Trade Union Educational
League calls upon all of the dress
