How the Dressmakers Can Achieve Victory

tenSive character and that is why the orienta-
ton of the strikers must be directed along these
lines. A mass strike is not pleasant prom
enade, but stubborn struggle, the result Of
which depends on how well the workers are Or
ganized, on the proper and consistent leadership
Of the struggle and also on the organization of
financial assistance to the strikers.
We must not forget that for the new elements
joining the strike Americans, Negroes, Italians
and Spanish, this is their first experience in
strike struggle
All these possibilities and difficulties must be
counted upon and we must be prepared to face
them fully equipped and well disciplined
Not to retreat in disorder and panic before
the rising difficulties but conscientiousIy stub
born1y and expedient1y to overcome such diff
culties, firmly holding on the fighting front.
The SchleSinger machine which was forced to
declare their fake strike are now preparing to
bring it to speedy close. They are using all
methods to prevent real joint strike and to
keep the United Front Committee from break
ing down the barriers between the rank and file,
in order to keep their grip on the workers in the
future. Therefore, we must with all energy and
by every means, break down these barriers, mob
iliSe all strikers for one strike on the basis Of
the united front of the workers against the
united front of Malone. Schlesinger, Mulrooney.
Against the fake Schlesinger settlement" the
masses must be convinced not to recognize this
settlement which is directed against the workers
We must convince them to take matters into
their own hands and TO fight for real better
ment of their conditions settlements made under
the control of the strikers themselves
The successful end of the dressmakers strike
will be mighty signal for the workers in the
fur, cloak and millinery industries. This will
give us confidence and will be the starting point
for further economic struggles in the various
other industries
The proper leadership OF this strike will enable
other groups Of the working class to avail them
selves in their struggle of the positive lessons
learned in this strike.
This militant strike of the dressnakers I'M
poses certain duties on other groups of workers
1t is the very duty, not only of the workers of
New York, but of the entire United States to
organize wide manifestations of solidarity and
financial aid.
The advanced fighting groups of the work
ing class, Kentucky nlners and dressmakers of
New York, deem it their right to expect, that
they will not remain alone in then struggle and
will get from the workers of the United States
vigorous response and proof Of the fighting
workers solidarity.

THE RECRUITING DRIVE IN THE ALLEGHENY VALLEY

ing and after the recruiting drive, is the dam
ger of opportunist tendencies expressed by some
Party members and in some instances even by
leading members in the section committee and
in the units These opportunist tendencies come
primarily from the Lack Of faith In the masses.
Some comrades influenced by the sharpening of
the class struggle and the difficulties In leading
the struggles Of the workers, express these ten
denotes in statements that the workers in he
minis are afraid to be organized, the workers in
the mills and the unemployed do not want to
organize and so on.
The section committee must conduct an idea
logical campaign systematically among the Party
members against these tendencies and convince
the comrades OF the correctness Of the Party
line so that the whole membership In the Sec
ton will throw itself into the work for the sue
cess Of the recruiting drive. Thus We will build
strong mass Party in the coal mines and
steel mills.

Crisis and Chaos in Tex.
tiles, 1031>1032

A REPORT in the New York Times of January
~ reviewing the cotton manufacturing situation
for the year 1884, illustrates clearly the chaos of
the competitive system and the state of the tex
tile workers under capitalism.
1t states first that the textile industry has
been much depressed" In New England las It
has been in the South. Which means that the
living standards Of the workers have been de-
pressed through increase in unemployment and
wage cuts Then it admits that the volume Of
business In the mills manufacturing cotton cloth
has been much less than during $780,; and that
the mills have pursued "a rigid program of cur
tailment This means Of course rigid program
of keeping workers out Of jobs.
There has been lack Of demand says the re-
view. This means, OF course, that the workers
In every industry in the country have been so
Impoverished that they have had no money to
buy the clothes and textiles which they need.
The number OF cotton spindles has been re-
duced by sales Of machinery from mills that
have ceased operating and by actually demoIish-
ing machinery. Thus the textile capitalists In
their pursuit of profits consciously destroy
Ing the industrial equipment needed to produce
goods for the workers OF the country They have
closed down mills that could turn out miles of
yards OF fabrics.
Finally, the article declares that dividend dis
bursetnents" have been lower than before. but

In order to build the Party, it is necessary
first Of all to develop struggles III the inter-
est Of the employed and unemployed workers.
This is the only way for "a Bolshevist Party to
convince the masses of workers that the Com
munist Party Is their own, and as such 1t Is
their duty to join its ranks.
From the experiences that we have out in the
mining fields and among the steelworkers in the
Allegheny Valley, we find that in order to carry
out this special recruiting drive today success
fully and to build the Party in every mine and
steel mill that we can reach 1t is necessary to
develop local struggles in the mines and steel
mills. We must assign special forces OF comrades
from the section committees and active members
from the units to concentrate on one or two
mines and steel mills with the main objective
of building mine and shop units there. After
this is done, these committees should turn to
used by the section committee in the Allegheny
alley and the result was that in three days of
concentration in one mine we organized a mine
unit of eight members working IN the mine In
the American Aluminium Company with only a
little effort Of concentration we recruited two
new members. The same method must be ap-
piled In every coal min and steel mill.
Even in recruiting unemployed workers for
the Party, aside from the general struggles which
we carry on the unemployed and Party mass
meetings and demonstrations, it is necessary
for the section committee OF the Party TO as
sign and instruct the unemployed Party frac-
ton to concentrate in certain working class sec
lions to develop struggles around concrete de-
mands OF the unemployed in the course OF the
struggle t recruit the best elements into the
Party.
Another point that VIC must not overlook dur

that some mills have paid per cent on stocks
and some per cent and some more And these
payments as we have frequently pointed out,
have been made on blocks Of stocks enormously
inflated by the stock dividends of few years ago.
The Textile World has no better story to tell
OF the situation in textiles during the last year:
THE year 1881 was thoroughly unsatisfactory
one in textiles. Marked increase in volume OF
textiles sales is not in the cards for the next
IL months. In fact 1t is not at all improbable that
the total may be lower rather than higher !.
The general business situation has got to improve
radically before any sustained demand for tex
tiles can be expected s-

Dear A Reader-Indeed not! I
see no reason why he can't have one
place to go alone if he wants to!
You have the same privilege, even
though you do not care to exercise
it. 1t all harks back to the tenn
peramental difference between men
and women, again.
Men love to be independent. They
love to have something that belongs
to themselves alone. They love a
secret place dedicated to themselves
and their interests, free from femi-
nine invasion. Look at the way
they go for secret societies and
lodges, into whose secrets no woman
is admitted.
The woman, on the other hand,
wants to share in everything. She
holds nothing back herself. and re-
sents it if her lover has secrets
apart from her. She wants to pene-
trate every crevice and Granny of
his entire being. She is jealous of
his smallest activity out of her sight.
Of the two, man is the wiser. He
hasn't the same capacity for losing
himself in another person, and he
save himself lot of pain by keep
ing his separate interests alive.
So if I were you, wouldn't say
word about my husbands desire
to shut you out of one certain place.
He's not acting in peculiar fashion
at all. He's just being perfectly
natural.

An inner spring mattress is more

its shape longer and doesn't mat

to do.
All of which is worth careful
consideration when you figure up
how much Of your life is spent in

According to a table worked out
by scientists, if you live normal
span of years, at 20 you have more
than sixteen years of sleep ahead
of you, at 40 you have ten, and at
so you have more than three years
of sleep still to put in.
