tions, for union organization, for the
establishment OF the 40hour 5-day
week, for increased wages, against
the right of discharge by the en-
ployers, against the terrible system
of speed-up in the industry.
These workers have been enduring
the most bitter kind of exploitation
and oppression.
Although the strike is only week
old, it has already met the hearty
response of the workers.
The dressmakers are fighting the
battle of all labor. They are fighting
against the development of company
unionism in their industry which
has reduced the standards of the
workers. They are fighting to build
up a real industrial union for the
Improvement of their working condi-
tons.
The dressmakers are conducting
their strike in the face of the ex-
treme terror by the police. Mass
arrests have already occurred. The
police are completely ignoring the
rights of the workers to picket and
to strike. The police are not only
acting at the behest of the sweatshop
employers. The officials of the Cen
trail Trades and Labor Council have
appealed to Mayor Walker that the
police shall not hesitate to use all
means to break the dressmakers'
strike. These officials, acting to-
gether with Socialist Party officials,
Schlesinger and others, who have
betrayed the interests of the work.

cradle conditions and disorganiza-

acting in the role of strike break
ers. They have made their appeal
on the basis that the workers are
using violence. Every honest work
err knows that not the strikers but
the employers, the police use ter
rorism against the pickets.
We call upon you to give support
to the strike of the dressmakers!
The victory of the dressmakers
will encourage the workers in all
trades and will be an aid in win
ming better conditions for all the
workers, will help in organizing the
mass of unorganized workers in this
city.
We call upon you to protest the

Thousands and thousands of dress
makers of various nationalities and
many races answered the call of the
new Needle Trades Industrial Union
and are now out in the struggle
against the bosses and their agents,
the Sigman-Schlesinger Forward"
and A. F. Of L. bureaucrats.
The dressmakers are fighting for
the abolition of sweat shop condi-
tions, for the organization of the I'M
organized, for the forty hour week,
for the building up of the needle
trades workers Industrial Union, for
the abolition of speed up system by
abolishing piece work and standards
of production, which were brought
about by the Sigmans and the Schle-
singers.
Like open agents of the bosses,
these Socialists" union bureaucrats,
helped to abolish all union conditions
achieved by the dressmakers through
years of heroic struggle and self sac
rifice.
The struggle of the dressmakers
is our struggle. The struggle of the
dressmakers against the bosses and
their agents must get the full sup
port of every cap and millinery
worker.
The Zaritsky clique in our union
is travelling on the same union
smashing road, which has led to the
enslavement of the dressmakers. The
Zaritsky clique in our union has
smashed the heroic struggle of the
Chicago capmakers against piece
work, and has reduced the militant
Boston local to a mere company
union. Zaritsky's application for an
injunction against the militant Bos-
ton capmakers to the Massachusetts
justice, the murderers of Sacco and
Vanzetti, will remain the blacklist
page in the history of our union

CAP and Millinery Workers
SUPPORT Dress Strike 1907

Zaritsky, with his clan club of local
"a, will pay dearly for their scab
work against local 43.
The capmakers will have to take
up the struggle against the Zarit-
sky union breaking machine, just as
the cloakmakers, dressmakers and
furriers fought against the Sigman
and Schlesinger machine. We must
unite all cap and millinery workers
in struggle against the union
breaking activities in our union.
Every cap and millinery worker
must realize that victory for the
dressmakers is victory for the rank
and file of all unions. Zaritsky is
actively supporting the Schlesinger-
Forward Company union. 1t is
therefore the duty of every capmak-
er to support the dressmakers in
their struggle against company
unionism. Let no capmaker be mis-
led by the scab propaganda of the
yellow forward, with their Tammany
"genossen" of the Central Trades
and Labor Council. Remember that
| between IL and Is thousand workers
are on strike. Go on the picket line
and see for yourself how the faith
full watchdogs of the bosses are split
ting the heads and failing hundreds
of heroic fighters who are labelled
by the yellow Forward as "Commu-
mist Scabs." Every capmaker, every
millinery leader must realize that
the victory for the Needle Trades
Workers Industrial Union spells a
death blow to company unionism.
Against the united front of the So
cialist Tammany Hall and A. F. of
L. bureaucrats with the bosses, we
must unite all workers into one pow
erful united front against the bosses
and all betrayers of labor. Full sup
port of the dressmakers struggle
defeat company unionism, on the
picket line to victory!

Thousands Duped, Told
Work or Starve"

OTTAWA, Feb. 14.-Unable to
face the starvation wages and long
hours melted out to the green har-
vest hand lured to Western Canada
by the rosy promises of government
officials and steamship agents, 6,876
British miners returned to England
last year out of an original party
of $3.50 shipped to Canada by the
British government as part of its
scheme to relieve huge demands
upon the "dole" caused by growing
unemployment. These figures were
revealed by the conservative party
leader, Bennett, before the Canadian
parliament here yesterday. Within
enc month after the party arrived
in Winnipeg, Bennett reports, huge
meetings were held, protesting
against the callous indifference of
both Canadian and British govern
ments to tie plight of the workers
whom they mad duped into accepting
the reduced" passage to Canada.
Five hundred leaders of the protest
meeting, styled indictments" in the
official report, were deported back
to England by the Dominion govern
ment, which feared the spread of the
revolt.
The remainder, largely raw and
inexperienced in the ways of the
farm, We're faced with the choice
work or starve. Forced to compete

ers existed till after the harvest
closed in November.
In the bitter zero weather of the
Canadian winter, they found they
were denied relief by the city
fathers Of various western cities,
and rather than live on the bread
lines of thriving" cities they
begged, borrowed, stole passage
money or worked a passage back to
England.
The scandalous failure of the fake
scheme to liquidate unemployment
throughout England will not deter
british steamship agents from pro-
noting similar schemes next winter.
Such schemes, promoted by the pro-
Canadian Pacific Steamship govern
ments of the colony and mother
country" attract thousands of Brit
ish workers every year. Even the
1921 harvest fraud was carefully
played down by the press of both
countries. The conservative, Ben
nett, describes the 1928 scheme as
all conceived"

A Tale
with
a Moral

Once upon a
Time there was a
Worker who really
Was class-conscious and
Militant and wanted
To fight like hell
For the emancipation
Of his class. This
Worker was employed
In a dress factory
In New York and
Belonged to something
That his boss and
A skunk called
Sigman assured him
Was a union.
Times became bad and
The boss had his own
Way with everything,
Firing workers right
And left, slashing
Wages, speeding them
Up until they used
To sweat and spit
Blood all day.
