a resolution for week work and are
carrying on a campaign to organ
ize the workers for struggle for
it over the heads of the bureau
Gratis. The resolution by Harry kah
calls also for unemployment insur-
ance.
The last meeting unanimously
decided to send a copy to every
shop and that final discussion should
take place at the next local meet
ing, for which special notice should
be sent to all shops.
But it was reported yesterday
that no notices were sent and that
the officials are trying to split the
ranks of the hatters by calling
group meetings instead of one gen
eral meeting. The workers will
have to guard against this meth
cd of dividing the workers in order
to defeat them.
Just as in the other sections of
the needle industry, the speed-up is
growing from day to day for the
hatters. New machinery is being
introduced which is throwing hun
dreds out of employment. The
workers in this trade are forced to
