Organized as well as unorganized
workers will be represented, workers
in revolutionary unions as well as in
A. F. of L. locals, employed and I'M
employed, Negro and white. All will
unite to launch broad mass move
ment y force the immediate, uncon-
ditional release Of Mooney and Bill
ings, the Harlan miners, the Scots
boro boys, the five Paterson textile
workers, and all other militants now
in the jails of capitalism.
That the A. F. of L. bureaucrats
are still continuing the betrayal
which Mooney has so bitterly de-
nounced is evident from the way rep
resentatives of the International La
Dor Defense are barred from the
meetings of locals where the takers
rule with an iron hand. Tuesday
night Carl Hacker, secretary of the
New York LID, was refused the
floor at a meeting of Carpenters Lo-
cal 1854 in Brooklyn Labor Lyceum.
A worker who protested was thrown
out and suspended from union meet
ings for three months. The confer
ence Sunday will be an answer to the
A. F. of L. treachery. All progressive
groups in the A. F. of l.. locals should
get together and elect delegates.

EXPOSE ZARITZKY.
LEHMAN CONFAB.
Headwear Department
Issue Statement

The Headwear Department of the
Needle Trades Workers Industrial
Union has issued a statement ex-
posing the real reasons for the visit
of zaritzky and We'll to Acting Gov
ernor Lehman. The statement points
out that:
Acting Governor Lehman, Mr..
zaritzky, president of the Cloth Hat,
Cap g. Millinery Workers Interna-
tional, and Mr.. Jules We'll of the
Women's Headwear Group, are hold
ing a conference in Albany where
steps will be taken to put through a
collective agreement in the millinery
trade. In other words, steps will be
taken to organize the bosses into a
bosses association and put through
collective agreement with an ''im-
partial chairman which would make
it possible for them to go through
with wage cuts. speed up and gen.
orally reducing the workers TO sweat
shop level in a LEGAL manner in
an effort to prevent strikes or any
oganized opposition on the pat Of
the workers. In return for these
services, the bosses will force their
workers to become members of Ia
ritzky's union, force them to pay irli-
tiation and dues, and help the bu-
reaucrats to strengthen their dieta-
torship over the membership"
zaritzky, Spector and Goldin, to-
gether with their political leaders,
the socialist" party, realized this and
therefore tried to cover up the real
meaning of the Albany conference
by stating in the Daily Forward that
Zaritzky and Well were called TO Al
bany by the Seabury Commission to
help fight racketeering. The truth is
that at the same time that Mr.. Ia
ritZky pretended to rage about the
"Amalgamated" going to Albany for
its charter instead of to the workers
he and his partner, Mr.. We'll, were
talking with MIR. Lehman and later
asked him officially in a letter to ar
range conference for them where
plans will be made for carrying
through this collective agreement in
spite Of the opposition of the workers

Shoe Repair Workers
Strike in 3 Jamaica
Terminal Shoe Shops

The workers of the Terminal Shoe
Repair Stores of Jamaica went out
on strike Wednesday.
The slavery conditions prevailing
in the shoe repair trade are reflected
in these few shops, where the work
ers are forced to put in as many as
70 hours a week with an average
wage of $40 to $25 week.
The strike is being led by the Shoe
and Leather Workers Industrial
Union. The demands that have been
formulated by the strikers include
reduction in hours, a decent living
wage and the reinstatement Of work
ers fired because of their union affil-
iations.
The first expression Of solidarity in
this strike is the fact that all the
workers-Negro and white - joined
the union and are now fighting side
by side for better living conditions in
their shops.

COMMUNISTS IN
CALL TO WOMEN
Delegates Will
Discuss Election


NEW YORK. - The Communist
Party of New York calls on all women
workers, Negro and white, to elect
delegates from their shops and or
CARNATIONS to the election campaign
shop delegate conference for women,
Saturday october 10, at pm, at
Irving Plaza Hall. Part Of the call
reads as follows:
THE misery of the working class
women is greater than ever before.
In New York more than 100000 wo-
men walk the streets in search of
jobs. Tens of thousands of women
and children suffer from hunger.
Wages are slashed to the bone, but
the cost of food, milk and rent is still
very high. The gas and electricity
rates have been increased. Children
are forced to stay away from school
because Of lack Of food and clothing.
Negro women are exploited more
than the men. Negro mothers live in
constant terror for themselves and
their children.
1.-THE only Party that leads in the
struggle Of the workers is the Com
munist Party. The Communist Party
fights for reduced rates of gas and
electricity. Equal pay for equal work
for women workers! For free food
and clothing for the children of the
unemployed. For lower rents, etc.
women Workers! the Communist
Party fights for your interests. Send
delegates to the conference. Vote as
you fight"
