ment; 2. A report on the situation in
the dress and millinery trades and
our present tasks.
The situation In the cloak and
dress industry, especially for the
pressers, Is becoming very difficult.
The bosses, with the aid of the com,
pany union agents, have wiped out
every vestige of union conditions In
the shops with the result that many
pressers are unemployed even during
the height of the season.
The united front movement among
the cloak and dressmakers for strug-
gle to re-establish union conditions
in the shops has therefore met with
good response among the pressers.
All cloak and dress pressers are
called upon to come to this meeting,

The Workers International Relief

This strike, like the miners strike,
becomes the battle of all workers and

saddle them with a. starvation wage.
This strike is major battle against
the wage siashing program of the
bosses in all industries.

SOCIALISTS WOULD STRENGTHEN
BOURGEOIS RULE UNDER GUISE
OF DEMOCRACY" SAYSL. AMTER

open declaration of dictatorship
also capitalist democracy
Thomas is Part of this scheme of
the American bosses, whose policy is
rapidly proceeding in the direction
of fascism. 1t is not the American
Legion alone which is preparing the
way to fascism, as Norman Thomas
declares, but the socialist party,
which as the third party of capital
ism, with definite role in the capt.
talist scheme, which is evening the
way to fascism.
Democracy is lie. There is no
democracy under capitalism. 1t is
today the rule of the policeman, to-
morrow the open rule of fascist
power, with the government revoking
all so-called democratic rights that
are supposed to exist. Tammany does
not disgrace democracy it is the
true expression of capitalist demo-
crazy. The socialist party does not
disgrace democracy in Racine, Mil
waukee and Reading. 1t is the cor
rect expression of capitalist demo-
cracy.' But the very position of Nor
man Thomas on Tammany demo-
crazy, and the position of the social
lists of Racine, Reading and Mil
waukee on socialist democracy re-
veal the real nature of capitalist
democracy, which is a capitalist die
tatorship. The workers will have
democracy only when they overthrow
the corrupt capitalist dictatorship,
and establish their own democracy
under the working class dictatorship.
This the socialists, as defenders of
capitalist democracy, oppose. There
fore they are the enemies of working
class democracy-and therefore the
enemies of the working class"

21st ST., a militant demonstration
took place in front of the shop. The
paid thug that protects the handful

of the workers. The policeman that
came to the aid of the gangster was
compelled to free Conlrade Marko-
