MASS DEMONSTRATIONS
AT ALL SHOPS TODAY

, ings were well attended and the strik-
ers showed a splendid spirit Of unity
and determination TO spread the strike
and win union conditions.
The workers expressed their readi-
ness to continue the strike until they
have won better conditions. Speak
ers at the meeting exposed the fake
strike lockout conspiracy that is be-
ing planned by the bosses together
with the I. L. G. w. U. and decided
that the best way to break this con-
spiracy is by spreading the strike to
include ever greater masses OF dress
makers. All striking workers are cal
led upon to picket their shops regu-
larry.
Oswald's, an italian worker, called
on the Italian workers to give their
utmost support to the strike. Jack
son, a Negro cutter, also spoke.
Many of the Spanish workers, when
asked to come down on strike, told
the committee that they had paid
as high as $40 to a union and the
union refused to do anything for
them. After it was explained to the
workers that the union to which they
paid the funds was the fake company
union, the IL.GW., they came out
in support of the united front strike.
