WILL ORGANIZE
LAUNDRY UNION
FOR STRUGGLES
Bosses Try Use ALL.
Union to Prevent
Militant Struggle

The Organization Committee of
the Laundry Workers Union has
called a mass meeting of all laundry
workers to build up a union in the
industry which will be a union to
fight for the workers interests and
not in the interest of the bosses and
the racketeers The mass meeting
win be held Thursday. September II
at $50 pm, in the Ambassador Hall,
Third Ave. near Claremont Pkway.
in the Bronx
The Greater New York Laundry
Workers Union, Inc. has been sold
out by the racketeers and their Of
ficials, Brooks and Bloom. The rack
eteers always work secretly for the
bosses. They went over to them open
ly now. They broke up the union at
the order of the bosses association.
The officials, Brooks and Bloom, were
working with the racketeers. They
were. ordered not to have any more
meetings and refused to have one last
Thursday.
But the workers refused to be sold
out and refused to be handed over as
victims to the bosses. So the best
elements in the old union immedi-
ately t2~en to organize themselves
so that therH should be a union Of,
by and for the laundry workers and
not a union for the racketeers and
bosses.
The bosses seeing that the workers
are organizing a union without the
racketeers and their officials who
completed the sell out are trying TO
bring in local 80 of the A. F. of L.
with Rosenzweig at the head. The
last sell out of Rosenzweig in the
Commodore, Bronx Home, Fairview,
Starlight and Jerome is still fresh in
the minds of most of the workers,
The Rosenzweig controlled A. F, Of L.
local $40 is just as bad as the racket
eer Larry Fay's gang. In fact, they
wdork together, just as Bloom and
Brooks, who, only few months ago,
we're working together with Ro5en-
zweig, and now, after they fooled the
workers, are trying to fool them
again by handing them over to
Rosenzweig. They do this because
they do not want an organization
controlled by the workers.
All laundry workers are urged TO
come to the mass meeting. Bring your

MASS CONGRESS WILL RATIFY
COM M UNIST CANDIDATES

mars which took place
yesterday excluded the Communist
Party because the requirements of
the capitalist state are such as to
place every obstacle in the way of a
working class revolutionary party
from getting on the ballot. The great
obstacle is to collect the necessary
quota of signatures in all Assembly
districts. The goal must be for all
workers and working class organiza-
tons to overcome these obstacles to
enable the Communist Party to get
on the ballot permanently and to
participate in the primaries here
after.
The Mass Ratification Congress
which will be held this Friday eve
ming, September 10, is a rallyin call
to all workers in shop, factory, mass
organizations and unions to make
this meeting a monster demonstra-
ton of strength in support Of the
only revolutionary party, the Com
munist Party. Organibzational pro-
posals for conducting the campaign
will be presented to the delegates and
included in a resolution for adoption
by all organizations represented at
the meeting. The Mass Congress must
also serve to mobilize the workers of
New York to go out on the streets
Saturday and Sunday, September 10
and 20 and to raise $4,000 with
which to conduct the most energetic
campaign that has yet been carried
out in the New York district
A feature of the ratification meet
ing will be the presentation of a BAN
ner to the section which has fulfilled
its quota of signatures and is now
sending shock troops to help out in
the weak districts. Workers organ

magnificent speech he exposed the
socialist treachery, concluding with
an appeal to all the socialist workers
to break with the treacherous policy
of the leaders and join the Commu-

capitalism.
Kuenstlers speech was a collection
of insults and ISLANDERS with no men

During Neumanns speech, the So

majority, thanks to the exclusion o.

Communist workers. The drummers
attempted to drown Neumann, to-

State Department
To lahore Protest

The State Department will
ignore a protest of Senator King
Cd, Utah, against an article
published in the Marine Gazette"
by Col. Robley Evans, advocating
retention of Marines in Nicaragua
until 1886 instead of 1882, the
date set for their withdrawal, it
was indicated yesterday.
Colonel Evans, the son Of
Fighting Bob" said that condi-
tions in Nicaragua cannot suffi-
GENTLY improve before that time
to permit withdrawal of American
forces.
The State Department took the
position that the article pub
lished in the Semiofficial organ
of the Marines, could not be con-
strued as voicing the view of the
American Government, and that
any officer has the right OF eX
press his opinion.
