Friends Soviet Union
Conference Held

The metropolitan conference of the
Friends of the Soviet Union which
took place Thursday night at Man
haitian Lyceum laid the basis for
firm F.S.U. district in New York,
based on the shops and factories,
with unions and fraternal organiza-
tons affiliated to it. 1856 workers
organizations were represented, their
delegates actively participating in
laying down detailed plans for the
building up of a strong district or
ganization and establishing close
bonds between the American workers
and the workers of the U.S.S.R. 1t
was decided upon a committee of %
as the central body of the district.
The conference is to be a permanent
one, with regular meetings and de-
legates from all the workers or
ganizations, its activity concentrated
upon the defense and recognition Of
the Soviet Union.
Plans were made for active par
ticipation of the American workers
in the building up of Socialism in
the Soviet Union, through sending
tractors and trucks, by unions and
shops, adopting factories in the Sow
let Union and supporting them in
carrying out the Five Year Plan, by
sending and replacing machinery and
parts needed.

ILCW FAKE STRIKE
FLOPS IN BOSTON
Industrial Union Still
Winning Victories

BOSTON, Mass, March 16.-The
company union strike, which has the
help of some of the bosses, is not
only proved fake but a fiasco.
1t was declared Thursday with
several of the bosses giving the
game away by telling the workers
as they locked them out to strike
until Monday but that they would be
back then, and that piece work will
prevail. Schlesinger and Dubinsky
and the rest of the International
Ladies Garment Workers gang as
usual, have arrsrged the settlement
ahead of time.
Only part of the fright wing"
shops have struck.
Schlesinger's "strike" and lock-
out prevails in only few shops. His
imported gangsters, carrying the
American flag, attack the pickets of
the Industrial Union, and the work
rs in the shops where it has already
won union conditions. The defense
has been splendid, and the strong
arm squad is beaten. One profess
sional thug stated in court that he
came from Brooklyn.

the capitalists, given by policemen's
clubs on March 6, and supported in
various ways, openly by the A. F.

also by the socialist grouping led
by Thomas, Music, Shiplacoff &
Co., which family criticises Woll,

Whalen to do what he did as ques-
ton of perfecting capitalist law,
and not as class question"
The T. U. U. L., on the other
hand, points out that court proce-
dure is only a continuation of police
terror" and demands organization,
demonstration, struggle, both econ
omic and political, through the mill
tant unions and through the organ
izations of the unemployed.
