which acts as their executive, COM

are forced to admit the appalling
misery and restitution of millions Of
jobless and part time workers.
Fearful lest the movement of the
workers for real relief. through I'M
employment insurance as provided
in the Workers Bill, shall develop
such mass support and militancy as
will overwhelm and sweep aside all
the institutions and instruments
which help enforce the policy of mass
starvation, these various agents are
making desperate efforts to stem the
movement.
1.-The march organized by the tool
of the coal and steel baronS of
Pennsylvania, Father" Cox; the
miserable pittance proposed in the
La Toilette Costlgan Bill; the similar
measures proposed by Senator Wag-
ner; the caricature of unemployment
insurance passed by the Wisconsin
state legislature; the march Of the
fat bellied bureaucrats Of the A. F..
OF L.; the "Block Adoption" scheme
Of the Gibson Committee in New
York and the similar schemes in
other cities, the recreation huts" OF
the socialists; all these are but a few
of the many tricky schemes that
have been recently developed in the
further effort to devitaliEe and
smash the militant movement of the
workers for real unemployment in
slrance and relief.
1.-THE signature drive Of the Unem-
ployed Councils, must serve to regis
ter the determination of the great
masses to fight on for unemployment
insurance equal to full wages at the
expense OF the bosses and govern
ment. It must serve as g, means OF
winning additional millions for con-
scious support of this struggle.
Every block in working class dig
tricts; every factory; every union;
every fraternal society; every bread
line and flop house; everywhere
where workers gather, committees
must be established that will secure
100 per cent endorsement of the
workers Bill,

whole struggle for unemployment in

of uniting all the local struggles for

fighting unemployed committees an

who suffer from unemployment are.

In the New York dress market
where the Sch1essinger company
union is preparing to call a fake
strike lockout on Tuesday, the bosses
have let the cat out of the bag. It
became known yesterday that there
was a conference in Mayor Walkers
office, where Dudley Field Malone,
chief of the dress bosses, Hillquit who
represents the Schlessinger fake
union have planned = fake strike.
Saturdays Forward" stated that
this conference was incidental, that
Hillqu1t came to ask that the police
adopt a friendly attitude toward the
fake strike, and incidentally that
Malone was in Mayors office at the
same time,
The spreading out OF the dress
strike which cannot even be disputed
by the bosses is indicated in the
statements of the bosses which show
that the strike Is spreading and en-
brscing an ever larger number OF
workers The only answer that the
dressmakers can give to these con-
spiracies Is to strengthen the picket
line In front of the striking shops, to
bring more shops down on strike, Or
ganize the block and building COM
n1ittees, involve every striker into &C
tive strike duty, and unite all strikers
those that are locked out Of the shops
by the bosses and the Schlessinger
company union together with the
strikers of the United Front Commit
tee for Joint action on the picketline
and joint struggle to secure union
conditions in the shops.
"Out of the shops and into the
