Needle Trades Union
Reorganizes on Shop
Basis During Struggle

The Needle Trades Workers In
dustrial Union continues to reor-
ganize and strengthen itself during
the struggle it wages for union con-
ditions in the New York dress shops.
The campaign of the union goes on
without regard to the fake strike of
the International Ladies Garment
Workers, which has been apparently
postponed to the end of the month.
The Industrial union strikes shops
now before the fake stoppage, and
will continue to do so throughout
the period and after the attempt of
the I.L.G.W. gang toSforce the work
ers into their company union
scheme.
The shop chairman's meeting held
last week worked out details for
complete reorganization of the Mt.
VIII. on shop delegate basis, and
tomorrow general membership
meeting of all workers in the indus
try will be held at Webster Hall,
IL Street and Third Ave, 1880 pm.

Even if capitalism were able to
maintain the same production as it
did in 1929 (and there is not one
capitalist economist thu predicts
this), it would mean that u. S.
capitalism was admittedly faced
with continued severe crisis.
In Great Britain, the classic coun-
try of capitalist crisis of decline,

What is the prospect of the pres
ent crisis? The biggest feature was
the decline of seel production to 40
per cent of capacity.
This basic industry is the back
bone of United States imperialist
economy. 1t is with great glee that
the capitalist press reports that
production of steel will probably in
crease somewhat.
But on the whole the steel in
dustry, together with every other
basic industry, will continue in the
grips Of severe crisis at least
throughout 1880.
