Called Out

At IL o'clock this morning all
cafeteria workers employed in the
garment manufacturing district Of
this city, are called upon to quit
work, take off their aprons, and
walk out on the first general strike
in their industry.
Hundreds of members of the Hotel,
Restaurant and Cafeteria Workers
Union are this morning distributing
red handbills which officially an
nounce that the cafeterias in the
district encompassed by 18th and
seth Sts., Sixth and Ninth AYES. are
on strike, till they grant human
work standards and sanitary condl-
lions of employment.
Ask Needle Workers to Aid.
A smaller circular is being broad
cast by the thousands among the
needle trades workers in the district
appealing to them as class conscious
workers to assist their fellow work
ers to fight for a union by not eat
ing in a cafeteria where a strike
is declared.
The final decision for the strike
hour was made at large anc
enthusiastic mass meeting in Bryant
Hall, Sixth Ave. and AID st. last

FURR|ERS HOLD
BIG FORUM TODAY

A large open forum of unemployed
fur workers will be held this after
noon, at 2 O'Clock, by the Needle
Trades Workers Industrial Union.
The meeting will be addressed by
Ben Gold, national secretary, Chas.
S. Zimmerman and A. Gross.
They will lead the discussion of
the workers on the preparations for
the coming general strike in the fur
industry.
That the agitation for a general
strike, with which the workers in
tend to regain lost union conditions,
is widespread, is evidenced by the
fact that even the bosses are admit
ting the response will be big. This
is seen in the reports carried by the
bosses press that less skins are be-
ing sold by the raw skin dealers,
since they fear the effects of a
strike.

JAIL WRECKERS
Who HALT SCABS
Scab Agency Poses as
Company Union"

"An ordinary scab agency, digni-
fled by the degrading term of COM
pany union,'" is the strikers de-
scriptioE of the frantic attempt of
the bosses House Wreckers Asso-
citation, to establish their own or
ganization.
First attempts to bring in the
scabs recruited by this fake organ
ization from Bowery Missions failed
as members of House Wreckers Lo-
cal 95 and their fellow-strikers from
the Chauffeurs Local SIG, picketed
work halted by the strike.
II Jailed.
Seventeen chauffeurs, fighting
for unionism for the first time, and
two house wreckers were arrested
yesterday. A late report stated
that one of the house wreckers was
stabbed by scab yesterday while
picketing in the Bronx. His name
was unobtainable.
Three truckloads of mission louis
were yesterday recruited for scab
duty. No attempt to place so many
scabs on any picketed job was no
ticed by the union, which is conf
dent that the efforts of the scab
agency will continue to be equally
unsuccessful.
Bosses SurrendeTing.
While the employers are still try
ing to get an injunction, forcing ar
bitration, the union is compelling
builders to sign up. Three did SC
already, with both chauffeurs and
house wreckers granting their de-
mands.
One important clause in the new
agreement demanded by the House
Wrecker bosses is that no indepen-
dent agreements be signed up with
the builders. The House WreckerS
evidently want to control all wreck
ing operations in town in order tt
control building operations.

Cominteyw Issues Anti War
AbbeQI ON 10th Anniversary
lSnec;al to the DaIy Worker

Especial to the Daily Worker
MOSCOW, U. S. S. R., (By Mail).
On the 10th anniversary of the foun-
dation of the Communist Interna-
tional, its Executive Committee has
issued an appeal to the workers OF
all countries and to the oppressed
and exploited masses, calling Tor
mobilization of the workers for de-
tense of the Soviet Union and for
struggle against ,imperialist war
preparations.
y Reviewing the history of the Sec
ond International and social democ-
racy, and the support given to the
bourgeoisie by the socialists" the
appeal emphasizes the role OF the
Communist Parties as the only lead
ers of the masses against capital
ism.
Capitalism is approaching new
world war which must end In a
catastrophe for capitalism" de-
clares the appeal of the Communist
International. "The first world war
ended with TIL breakdown of the
imperialist front and the establish
ment of the first proletarian dicta-
torship. A second imperialist war
and an intervention against the Sow
let Ur... will give the system OF
world imperialism the la-t and final
blow"
The appeal follows:
Ten years ago the Communist In
ternational was born in the fire OF
the revolutionary struggle. AS a
consequence of the imperialist war
Europe has been turned into heap
of smoking ruins. Millions of mer
had been killed and wounded and
the soldiers who had gone through

The urgent necessity for the work
ing class of New York to support
the seventh anniversary of the
Freiheit, Yiddish Communist daily,
is stressed by the New York Dis
trict Executive Committee of the
Communist Party in a statement is
sued last night. The call reads, in
part:
"The Freiheit is the mass organ
in the Jewish language of the c. P.
of the U. S. A. The Freiheit has
Loyalty served the interests and led
the Jewish workers in their strug-
gle against their exploiters, the
treacherous labor leaders and the
S. P. In New York City the Fret
heit has proven to be the rallying
center of the struggles that the
C. P. and the Left wing have carried
on.
"The Seventh Jubilee of the Fret
heit must be turned into a huge
demonstration for our Party. for the
Left wing, against social reform
ism and for the new unions. Every
Party member, every worker must
give full support and become active
in this jubilee. A huge demonstra.
ton of tens of thousands of workers
in the New York Coliseum will be
the best reply the militant workers
can give to the bosses, to the be-
trayers of labor, for the building
and strengthening of the Party and
of the new unions.

JERSEY CITY, N. April g.
All chauffeurs of the American
Can Company here are on strike for
wage increase. The chauffeurs en-
ployed at both the Communipaw

BULLETIN.


.GREENVILLE, S. C., April s.
The workers of two more mills in
Union, S. c., walked out on strike
today, thereby making the total
number of strikes in this town three.
The other strike began yesterday
at the Union Buffalo Mills. The
two new mills, Monarch and Ottray,
are completely shut down.
GASTONIA, n. c., April 3.-The
National Guard today arrived in the
strike zone here, though no ''vio-
lence" was even alleged by the mill
owners in the two-day strike. The
12Oth Company. under Captain Ar
thur Fuller, has come in an effort
to break the strike.
Four picketing strikers, members
of the National Textile Workers
Union, which is leading the strike,
we're arrested by the militia for try
ing to break through the National
Guard lines, which surrounded all
approaches to the mill. They were
later released on 500 bail each.
The coming of the National Guard
is somewhat explained by the fact
that a mill south of here is owned
by the state governor.
