Gold to Speak at
Costume Ball for
Dress Strikers Aid

Ben Gold, secretary-treasurer of
the Needle Trades Workers Indus
trial Union, will be the chief speaker
at the Workers and Farmers Cos
tune Ball which will take place Fri
day, Feb. Is, at the Pythian Temple.
The proceeds of the ball are to go
for the relief of the striking needle
trades workers.
This is the first of a series of af-
fairs arranged by the Workers In
ternational Relief to help the dress
makers win their strike.
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1929-02-09

the day before.
An outstanding phenomenon
is that for the first time in the
history of the needle industry,
not only workers of a single striking
craft-the dressmakers-are on the
picketline, but furriers, cloakmakers
and even workers in trades not in
cluded in the new Needle Trades
Workers Industrial Union are stand
ing shoulder to shoulder with their
fellow-workers in a common fight
against the triple-headed enemy
the employers, the police and the
socialist" company union officials.
Yesterday new thousands of work
ers joined the strike. Many more
shops were taken down, including
shops that had never been organized
and others whose workers had been
compelled against their will to join
the international company union.
The record made at the building
at 282 Seventh Ave, where all IL
dress shops have been taken down,
has been equalled by strikers from
several other buildings.
Frame-up CoIlapses.
Yesterday witnessed the collapse
of an attempted frame-up of eight
strikers by the International crew.
The workers were arrested late
Thursday afternoon, charged with
attacking a shop. Schlesinger is
sued statement to the effect that
these workers are Greek gangsters
employed by the industrial union.
When the eight strikers appeared
in court this morning the employers
admitted that the strikers had done
no harm and the entire case col
lapsed.
An important new development
that became known yesterday was
the decision of the Dress Manufac-
turers' Protective Association to en-
ter negotiations for settlement with
the Needle Trades Workers Indus
trial Union. The members of this
association, as we'll as many manu-
facturers who are not affiliated,
have been badly hit by the strike.
About $50 bosses have thus far ap-
piled for settlements. The union is,
however, insisting upon its demands
and is making no compromises.
Enthusiastic Strike Meets.
Enthusiastic meetings Of the
strikers were held yesterday in Ir-
wing Plaza, Webster Hall, Stuy-
vesant Casino and Bryant Hall. A
successful shop chairmen's meeting
was also held in Webster Hall.
The strike is gathering momen-
tum each day. Plans are being
made now to make the picketing
Monday morning a tremendous DEM
onstration of the workers solidarity
in the present struggle. All class
conscious workers are urged to take
part in this picketing demonstra-
ton.
Strikebreaking Police Active.
The police displayed even greater
brutality yesterday than on the day

Despite troubled conditions in the
Far East, American exports to the
Orient showed remarkable gain of
over 10 per cent during the first six
months of 1929, the Commerce De.
partment announced today.
For the half year merchandise
shipments were valued at $411,.
OIL 900, compared to $372,5O1.0oO for
the same period Of 1928.
AN equally active demand for
raw materials, confined largely to
the oriental countries, increased the
value of imports into United States
from the Far East by per cent
from $626, $4,000 to $SS5. ,000," 4"
the department said.
The big gain in imports was at
tributed largely to the expansion in
American industry and larger pro-
duction, requiring a tremendous
volume of such raw materials as are
furnished by the Orient.

Accompanying Wood on the non.

Fears for the safety of the two

PNEUMONIA

WEST ORANGE, N. j., Sept.
Q.E.S).-Chafing at the leash of
unaccustomed illness, Thomas Alva
Edison was exerting his tremendous
power of concentration today toward
one end-speedy recovery from an
attack of pneumonia from which
he has been suffering since August
IS.
Although his illness at first was
reported to be a severe cold, an
official bulletin from the aged in
ventor's physicians revealed pneu-
monia had developed, and for 10
days following August 13 his con-
dition was genuinely serious.
Edison, who Is now able to sit
up for several hours a day, was
extremely anxious lest reports of
his illness cause his friend Henry
Ford to suspend arrangements for
the celebration of the fifty ami
versary of the invention of the
incandescent light, at Dearborn,
Mich, October 81.
Edison has promised to be present.
and he intends to be, but he feared
his illness might raise some doubts
in Ford's mind about his ability
to make the journey.
