In New York State wages were

ers, and the large number of wage

creasing unemployment.
1t should be clear to every worker,
as it is openly admitted by the Wall
Street mouthpiece of the bosses
quoted here, that wage-cuts in re-
cent weeks have grown tremend-
ously, and that they will increase to
greater lengths in the very near
future.
Along with this, unemployment
grows worse every day. No worker
can overlook the Importance of
speeding-up the right for the Un-
employment Insurance Bill, and at
the same time linking-up with this,
the unity of employed and unem-
ployed workers in the struggle to
organize and strike against wage
cuts under the leadership of the
Trade Union Unity League. In this
respect, the T.U.U.L. conferences on
Sept. 2S, are a vital matter to all
workers, and they should agitate in
their shops, mines and factories for
delegates to participate in these con-
ferences of action.

LEATHER WORKERS IN

ZAGRAB, Bulgaria G.P.SD.-On
the 21st of August, $50 workers of
the Zagreb leather and shoe fac
tory went on strike against the
threatened 30 per cent wage reduc-
ton. The strike is at the same
time protest against the failure
of the works management to OBJ
serve the social welfare laws, and
against the total absence Of protec-
ton for the workers at the
machines, frequently resulting in
fatal accidents.
On the goth of August a workers
meeting was held, attended by rep
resentatives of the social fascist
trade unions, of the labor chamber,
and of the workers inspection. The
social fascists demanded that the
strike be postponed till the 18th, in
order that they might negotia&.
with the management. This pro-
posal was unanimously rejected by
the workers. The workers declared
eXcitedly that all negotiations were
of no use, they must fight. After
former negotiations the workers
management informed the police of
the names of all the workers rep
resentatives, and these were ar
rested. The strike was proclaimed,
duration indefinite. As only three
men and two women were willing
to do strike-breaking work. the
factory is laid idle. A number of
foreign filters, though their wages
are not affected, have declared
themselves solid with the workers
and Joined the strike. When the
social fascist saw that the workers
were determined to strike, thew
offered to lead the struggle, it need
not be said with the intention of
throttling it at the first opportunity.
In view of the rule of the bloody
military fascist dictatorship in
