BRASS FOUNDRY
WORKERS STRIKE
Reject Strikebreaking
Scheme of A. F. L.

NEW YORK.-The workers of the
Bronx Brass Foundry. located at 2
West 18th St., have been on strike
since Friday, against a wage-out of
$500 per week. Already the wages
of these workers have been slashed
from $50 to $35. The workers were
formerly members of the Molders In
ternational Union, A. F. of l.. They
quit that organization when the lead
ers flatly refused to oppose the pre-
vious wage-cuts.
The workers have accepted the lead
ership of the Metal Workers Indus
trial Union.
The boss has advertised for help
Yesterday morning about 300 unem-
ployed molders answered. Upon see
ing the pickets and learning the cause
Of the strike, these workers expressed
their solidarity, and refused to scab.
Many of them even joined the Metal
Workers Industrial Union.
The Molders Union is also trying
to send scabs to the shop.
The Bronx Foundry is the largest
in the green sand line. Now these
bureaucrats are trying to regain con-
troll of this shop and in this way to
bolster up their badly shattered pres
tige among the -and-file molders.
When the strikers protested against
the sending Of scabs, business agent
Jerry Kiddy, of local 81 of the Mold
ers international told them his Union
will not recognize the strike and that
he would continue to send his men to
work, unless the strikers pay in $12
each at once, and permit him to make
the settlement with the boss. The
workers rejected this as selI-out
move and continue the strike under
the M. w. 1. U. leadership.
All class conscious workers and
their organizations are called upon
to support the struggle of these work
ers by coming to the picket line every
morning at am.

the demand by the Communist Par

join its struggle for real independ-
