Slipper Workers Out
On Strike Against
Wage Slash

Over 1870 workers of the Melrose
Slipper Co. went out on strike yes
terday demanding the recognition OF
the Shoe and Leather Workers In
dustrial Union and the withdrawal
of the last wage cut.
At the three shop meetings that
were held before the strike was de-
cIared, the workers proved by their
spirit that the boss will not succeed
in getting them back to the shop
with nice speeches and empty
promises.
All workers are determined to
carry stubborn strike for guaran-
tee against wage cuts, discrimina-
tons and discharges. All workers
joined the union.

NTWIU EXPOSES
FAkERS' UNITY
Rank and File Will
Form United Front

The Fur Department of the Needle
Trades Workers Industrial Union has
issued the following statement on the
unity conference which had been
proposed by various cliques in the
right wing union.
ct appears from the press state
ments that the Joint Council has
been nailed to the wall by the deci-
sion of the Cooper Union meeting of
the furriers for real unity in the
ranks of the furriers on the basis Of
real struggles for union conditions in
the shops. The Joint Council now
seeks through all sorts of maneu-
vers to break up the conference so as
to prevent the Industrial Union from
uniting the furriers for real strug-
gle.
From the present reports we
learned that the Council, evidently
on the orders of the fur bosses, has
struggled in the paid lackeys of the
DUSSCS, DVCGShyy anu IAdu1llloAl AAASO
the sub committee. This act on the
part of the Joint Council exposes
more clearly than anything else the
aims and detectives Of the fake
peace maneuvers Of the company
union agents.
The whole fake unity campaign of
the cliques is exploding like a bub-
Bile under the powerful blow of the
masses of the furriers The furriers at
Cooper Union have adopted a pro-
gram of real unity on a common
program Of action. Regardless Of fake
maneuvers of the company union, the
furriers, under the leadership of the
Industrial Union and the United
Front Committee, will go forward in
building unity in the shops in the
struggle for union conditions, OF
building a powerful union that will
defend their interests from all their
agents.

lions of the workers.

tional Parlor Suite Co. and the State
Upholstering Co., All Bedford Ave,
Brooklyn, yesterday joined the strike
of the upholsterers against the bad
conditions in the trade, under the
leadership Of the Furniture Workers
Industrial Union.
Having failed in their previous
efforts to break the present strike of
the Brooklyn upholsterers, the mis-
leaders of Local rs, A. F. of L., have
resorted to the tactics of sending
gangsters to follow leaders of the
Furniture Workers Industrial Union.
Chorast Strikers Score A. F. L.
The strikers of the Morris Chorast
shop, one of the largest in the trade,
yesterday adopted resolution scor-
ing the attempt of the A. F. of L.
misleaders to break their ranks and
expressed their determination to
fight to win better conditions in the
trade. The resolution reads in part:
ITO disregard any agreement
made between the bosses and Local
rs takers and to continue to fight
for real union conditions and for
an agreement with the Furniture
Workers Industrial Union, which
is the only workers union in the
furniture industry"
The workers also pledged to fight
the A. F. of L. takers and called on
all workers in Local 76 to unite
against the bosses and their agents,
Cuneo, Roter and Hatch.

ALL DISTRICTS
Workers Should Aid In
Collection Of
Signatures

The slash of 10 per cent in wages
declared by the United States Steel
Corporation is the signal for a
drive in all industries to reduce the
standards of living Of the workers
down to the lowest level. From the
standpoint of the Election Campaign
this burning issue should serve as a
mobilization call to the working
class for intensified struggle to re-
slst this latest n1aneuver of the rul-
tnc class of Wall Street to make the
workers shoulder the entire burden
Of the economic crisis,
In the house-to-house canvas to
collect signatures to enable the Com
munist fighters to get on the ballot
we have an exceptional chance to
bring the message Of struggle to
rally the workers behind the Com
munist Party for the fight against
the ruling class and its policy Of
starvation for the workers.
The collection of signatures to
place the Communist Party on the
ticket in New York enables us to
prove to the workers that this latest
wage slash means that the bosses
government will make the working
class paw for every fake unemDlov-
vert reI'nf program proposed by
Hoover, Gov. Roosevelt, or Jimmy
Walker.
