The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1932-03-11

OF the 40-hour week, the right to the
job, no discrimination of Negro work
erS and young workers.
THE strikers who are still out on
the picketline, the dressmakers who
are daily going down on strike, are
determined to go on with their strug-
gle to win union conditions, to spread
the movement for united struggle and
to strengthen the base of the Indus
trial Union, the union of the workers
SellOut E. posed.
"At the same time that the dress
makers under the leadership of the
United Front Strike Committee have
fought and won union conditions, the
fake strike lockout conducted by the
International, with the aid OF the
Zimmermans who have fought every
effort to unite the ranks OF the dress
makers, is now recognized by the
workers as a most shameful Sellout
and betrayal Of the dreSsmakers, a
sellout which resulted in wholesale
wage cuts, lockouts, and the elinina-
ton of the last vestige of union con-
ditions.
This fake strike lockout has proved
that in fighting against the united
front strike the officials of the In
ternational have represented the in
terests of the bosses and have car
ried through the policy Of the bosses
to keep the ranks of the workers di-
vided.
To Continue Shop Strikes.
THE United Front Strike Commit
tee Of the rank and file of the work
ers of the striking shops, has ex-
posed this fake sell-out and worked
tirelessly to bring about a real united
front strike of the dressmakers and
we will concentrate all our efforts to
continue shop strikes during the en-
tire period Of the season. We once
more call on the members Of the In
ternational who are already paying
the price for the shameful selIout, not
to submit to the lowered conditions
forced upon them by the bosses and
officials Of the International, to take
up the struggle for union conditions
IN their shops and together with the
strikers of the Industrial Union and
the United Front Committee to unite
with the ranks Of the workers and to
build united front of the workers
against the united front Of the bosses
and their agents, the leaders OF the
International.
I'm terminating the strike, the
members Of the Strike Committee are
not terminating their activities. Just
as the Strike Committee was in the
forefront on the picketline, leading
the workers in the struggle for better
conditions, so will we now, at the ter
mination of the strike, take upon our
selves the responsibility of helping to
consolidate the gains and to exert
every effort to strengthen the base
Of the Industrial Union and to con-
tinue the struggle for unity until we
have succeeded in uniting all dress
makers and building one powerful
union representative Of all workers in
the dress trade.
I'VE call on the workers of the
settled shops to be on their guard
against the attempt of teh bosses TO
rob them of the gains won as a re-
suit of the struggle and to mobilize
their workers to assist those OF the
dressmakers who are still on strike.
I'VE call on the workers Of the
striking shops to consolidate Their
ranks, to strengthen the picketline
and fight until they have secured i'm
provements in their conditions.
I'VE call on the members of the
international TO fight against the SELL
out, against the wage-cut, reorganiza-
ton agreement, to unite in the shops
and to fight for better conditions.
I'VE call on the workers of the
open shops who we're not involved in
the strike not to continue working
under open shop conditions, but to
organize their ranks and with the
assistance Of the Industrial Union 10
fight and win better conditions.
| We call on the unemployed work
ers. members of the Industrial Union
| members of the International. unor-
gani1ed workers. 70 organize theiI
ranks and together with the employed
workers fight against speed-up, long
hours, low wages and for more Jobs
for the unemployed.
"Dressmakers: The United Front
Dress Strike has demonstrated the
strength that lies in the unity OF the
workers. The United Front Strike has
exposed the poisonous propaganda OF
the officials Of the A. F. of L. that
workers will not strike during crisis
The United Front dress strike has
demonstrated that through unity In
the ranks of the workers we can over
come all obstacles, win union condi-
lions, and build up our union as a reaI
instrument to lead the workers in the
struggle.
Hail the gains won by the dress
makers under united front leadership!
Forward to greater unity!
Forward to struggle! Forward h
the building of the Industrial Union!
I'm unity and struggle lies om
strength
