NTWIU Shop Delegate
Council Meets Thurs.
To Hear Union Report

Ben Gold will speak on the fake
unity conference at 2 o'clock today
at an open air meeting at 29th st.
and It'll Ave.
In a statement issued by the In
dustrial Union to the fur workers to-
day the workers are shown how the
same gangs under the leadership of
the Vladecks, Shiplacoffs, have sold
out the furriers to the bosses, how
they, together with the Kaufman
Stetsky and Sorkin cliques, have Ie-
Called contracting and sub-contract-
ing and piece work, and have wiped
out all the conditions won by the
workers in 1926. 1t points out that
this new maneuver, in which they
are assisted by the Lovestoneites who
have been driven by the workers from
their ranks because of their treach-
cry, is just desperate effort to re-
Yive the bankrupt Joint Council
which has been repudiated by the
workers through their struggles un-
der the leadership of the Industrial
Union.
The Industrial Union calls on the
fur workers to answer the fake peace
maneuvers by intensifying the drive
to organize shops and improve the
conditions of the workers.

Arrest 4 on Picket Line.
A very good picketing demonstra-
ton was carried through this morn
ing in front of the two striking mil
linery shops, A. J, Engle and H. A.
Rosen. The workers fought mill
family against the efforts of Local "a
to fill up the work with seabs who
were sent to the shop accompanied
by strong armed men. A fight de-
veloped which resulted in the arrest
of strikers and one of the strong
armed men. The case was adjourned
and the strikers are held on bail.
The strikers of both shops today
issued an appeal to the members of
Local "a in which they called on
these workers to demand a shop
meeting and fight against the strike
breaking activities of the officials, to
assist the girls on the picket line, de-
mand the withdrawal of the eorillas,
and refuse to work with seabs. The
call further points out that the out
come of this strike will affect the
conditions of other workers and calls
on all millinery workers to help win
the strike against the Engle and
Rosen firms.
Another demonstration and open
air meeting was carried through by
the union during the afternoon.
Mounted police attempted to break
up the meeting but the workers in
sisted on their right to hold the
meeting one worker was arrested.
The Industrial Union calls on all
millinery workers to give active as
sistance to the workers on the picket
line.
