committee of dressmakers elected for
the purpose of initiating a united
front movement for struggle to Sc
cure immediate improvements in the
conditions of the dressmakers has
met with great response among the

ers, Negro and white, to come to the
Cooper Union mass meeting to dis
cuss the problems confronting the
dressmakers, to discuss how to fight

clares the Cooper Union meeting to
be historic mass meeting which
will cement the unity amongst the
workers. This mass meeting and the
activities conducted by the united
front committee was the topic of
discussion among the dressmakers in
the market today.

ings were held where the united

While the united front movement
is beginning to make Roadway among
the dressmakers, the organization

Union is proceeding.

|MAKERSSTRIKE
IN THIRD WEEK
Four Other Shops in
Trade Won Strike
for Better Pay

NEW YORK.-More than fifty
cigarmakers OF the Edwin Cigar Co.,
l27th Street and Third Avenue, en-
tering their third week Of strike
against low wages and bad condi-
lions, successfully strengthened their
picket line yesterday and spike the
bosses lies about moving the shop
out of town.
The strike, declared two weeks ago,
is against the conditions prevailing
in the trade. Cigarmakers, family
people with dependents, average $3.50
a week working ten and eleven hours
day amid the worse possible SAM
tary conditions. Recently the boss
laid off those workers making as
high as $l2 and hired new ones for
$500 thus seeking to cut wages of
the entire shop.
Other Shops Won Strike
The Edwin eigarmakers, organized
into the Tobacco Workers Industrial
League, have the support of cigar
makers of the Blum Deluxe, Galovin
Cigar and two small cigar store shops
where the workers also struck and
won wage increases of from 81 to SIS
per week and better sanitary condi-
tons under the leadership of the To-
bacco Workers Industrial League, af-
filiated to the Trade Union Unity
League.
The Edwin cigarmakers call on all
cigar workers to show solidarity with
their strike, and to broaden the
strike movement in the trade to win
better conditions and wages. All in
auiries should be made at the Offices
of the Tobacco Workers Industrial
League, at 10 West 116th Street.

Demagogue AFL Statement
The AFL this morning issued de-
magogic statement trying to convince
the workers that there are no chan
ces of winning unity. They laid down
two conditions for their brand of
unity. These are that the NTW state
publicly concrete proposals for I'M
ity and that the NTWU stop their
campaign of "willification" of the
AFL leaders. The NTWU has stated
its proposals for unity over and over
again. This part of the AFL de-
mand is sheer hypocrisy as every
striker knows.
The NTWU will not under any cir
cunstances cease its exposure Of the
treacherous role of the AFL leaders
and the maneuvers for breaking the
strike. 1t is this exposure that the
AFL leadership calls "vilification." 1t
is only by a continuous exposure Of
the strike breaking role Of the AFL
leaders that the NTWU can prevent
the strikers from being sold out The
AFL leaders do not want unity
among the strikers. Their task is
70 break the strike not to win it with
The workers.
Preparations for the conference on
friday which will mobilize the work
ers against the sellout plans of the
UTW-Associated are going forward
theoretically. The N.T.W.U. and the
United Front General Strike Commit
Zee are determined to bring about
unity among all of the silk workers
n order to prevent the sellout plans
Of the A. F. of L. unions and to win
The strike. In a broad series of shop
meetings delegates are being elected

ger of U.T.W. shops have elected
delegates already.
