worse than before the fake stop
page. The so-called demands which
the company union has put forth to
the bosses so as to confuse the
minds of the workers have been put
on the scrap heap. Ignore the
treacherous settlement; continue the
struggle for a real union and union
conditions under the leadership of
the Needle Trades Workers Indus
trial Union. Organize your shop
committee at once.

organization, for an unemployment
insurance fund, or for an increase in
wages. We warned you and called
