C.. P. Election, Oct. II

What do the coming municipal
elections mean to the working wo-
men of New York? What is the
connection between the Communist
election campaign and the Gastonia
struggle?
Working women of New York
will discuss these questions at a
joint Working Women's Election
and Gastonia Defense Rally, to be
held Thursday night at 8 o'clock at

by the Women's Department of the

workers to organize, one of the chief
issues in the struggle in the south,
is intricately bound up with the
election campaign of the only party
that fights for this right, the Com
munist Party, it is pointed out. The

FOOD WORKERS
FOR C. P. TICKET
Cafeteria Employees
Endorse Communists

Complete endorsement of the can
'didates and program of the Commun-
ist Party in the New York mayor
atty election was voted at large
meeting of Hotel, Restaurant and
Cafeteria Workers branch of the
Amalgamated Food Workers Union,
held at 1873 West 51st st.
The endorsement of the Commun-
ist candidates, which was unanimous,
followed the adoption of a compre-
hensive program for the drive to
unionize New York cafeteries.
Michael Obermeier, organizer of
the union, commenting upon the en-
dorsement of the Communist pro-
gram and candidates said last night
"We cafeteria workers know who
our enemies are and we also know
who our friends are. We know es-
pecially, that during the bitter strike
last spring, hundreds of our workers
were victims of Tammany police bru-
tality. Defying injunctions gotten
out by the Restaurant Owners AS
sociation, many workers were jailed
and given long sentences in prison.
Over 1900 workers were arrested
during the period of the strike and
over 100 actually served Jail sem
tences-some of them as much as
six months.
GAS for the socialists, in our
strikes the socialists worked hand
in glove with the corrupt betrayers
of the American Federation of La
Dor and the strike-breaking, social
ist-controlled United Hebrew Trades.
This outfit helpe dform the false
"Food Council" which tried feverish-
! yto break the strike of the strug-
Cling cafeteria workers who are de-
termined to put an end to the r.
hour day and miserable working
conditions which now prevail"
Concluding, Obermeier, one of the
leaders of the last strike, declared
"Only the Communists threw in
all their forces in support of our
struggles. They assisted in every
possible way, sending speakers to
our meetings, and helping in the
mobilization of mass picket lines.
"The example of the cafeteria
workers in endorsing the candidates
and platform of the Communist
Party should be followed by every
trade union which is genuinely fight
ing in the interests of the workers.
