The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1931-10-28

were aroused against this new at
tempt to frame up the furriers. 1t
is evident that the company union
agents are resorting to this old me-
thod Of frame up in an effort to
crush the united front movement
among the workers for a real strug-
gle for rank and file strikes which
has been initiated and is being or
ganized by the united front move
ment for the active support of the
Industrial Union.
In statement issued by the IN
dustrial Union it Is pointed out that
through frame ups and arrests the
company union agents and bosses
will not succeed in breaking the ris-
ing revolt Of the workers against
company union rule. The Industrial
Union calls on all needle trades
workers to solidify their ranks, to
build united front committees in the
shops, to unite employed and IN
employed and to prepare for real
rank and file strikes in order to es-
tablish union conditions in the needle
industry.

mortal Hall, 344 4w. seth ST., Thurs

A meeting of the workers of the
Carnegie Shop, where Greenberg. the
appointed dictator Of Local SO has
concluded a treacherous agreement
granting wage reduction and the
right Of the firm to send out work
to scab shops, was almost unanim-
ously rejected by the workers at the
joint shop meeting.
Greenberg attempted to interfere
with this meeting of the workers by
declaring it illegal and threatening to
call the members to the executive
board. However, the workers of Car
negie shop have had a clear exam
pie OF this treachery during the past
few months. They know that des-
p1te their repeated decisions to re-
ject Carnegie's open shop demands
Greenberg ignored the decision OF
the shop, ignored the appointed con-
ference committee, and sold out the
conditions Of the workers TO the
bosses.
A committee Of action of rs work.
ers was elected to work out a pro-
gram modifying the workers in de-
Tense of union conditions that pre-
vailed in the shop during the old
agreement.
This act Of treachery on Green
berg's part is but one additional
proof of the extent to which the
company union has become an agen-
cy of the bosses to put through the
wage cuts and open shop schemes.
