Gorilla Gangs

NEW YORK.-It was learned from
reliable sources today that at a meet
ing of the executive board Of the In
ternational Ladies Garment Workers

openly stated that the union in the

ing shops extorting money from both
the workers and the bosses.
Many workers realize the need of
a union and are turning to the
Needle Trades Workers Industrial
Union which today is carrying on a
drive for better conditions in the
dress field. The drive which began
last week has already resulted in the
organization of a number of shops
where the workers received increases
amounting to from 81 to IS a week.
s New Shops Strike.
Eight new shops came down on
strike and the strike movement is
spreading from day to day. Cutters,
pressers and operators, members of
the International are daily reporting
to the Industrial Union asking as
Sistance in the organization of their
shops.
The Dress Department of the In
dustrial Union issued a call to all
dreSsmakers working in the open
shops not to wait, but to give in their
complaints at once so that their
shops can be organized. The union
also issued a call to the workers of
open shops who are taken down by
the gorilla committees not to pay
in money, but to come to the Indus
trial Union which will be ready to
assist them in their struggle to win
better conditions.

in Cuba and to take part in the dem

regime against the workers and peas
ants" said the statement of the

been thrown in Jail, murdered, kid
mapped and hanged. Machado is out
to destroy every working class or
ganization. Particularly is this terror
directed against the revolutionary
trade unions and their members.
" American imperialism, being
afraid of the organized strength of
the Cuban working class, is the insti-
gator of this terror. American work
ers must fight against this terror"

LEGION MEMBERS
AGREE WITH FORD
Modified A G ain t
Meet; Change Mind

LANSING, Mich Aug. 24.-Squads
of rank and file American Legion
naires, hastily mohilized along with
the police to interfere with the meet
ing addressed here yesterday by j.
w. Ford. Communist candidate for
vice president, left in disgust at their
officials. What them Communists
say is right" was a general comment
from the war veterans.
Ford took up Governor Roosevelt's
Jim Crow record and told how the
Democratic Party presidential nom
inee sent the marines to crush the
Negro republic of Haiti while Roose-
welt was secretary of the navy. He
showed Roosevelt as a bargainer with
the lynching Ku Klux Khan Of
Georgia, and one who has never lit
ed his voice even for equal rights for
Negroes.
Allied to Auto Companies
Roosevelt" said Ford, lis the right
hand man of Morgan and Raslob Of
General Motors. Here in Michigan,
Roosevelt's allies in General Motors
have cut wages time and again.
Ford also took up the case OF Gov
ernor Brucjler Of Michigan. This
Republican Party man is running for
reelection on the slogan of reduced
tax rates" But Ford showed that he
has not only done nothing for the
masses of unemployed workers in the
state, but he sent state police tc
break UP the hunger march on tbs
capitol here in Lansing.
Michigan has the highest rate
of deportation of any state, Ford
pointed out. The foreign born work
ers in automobile factories and fur
niture shops here are subjects to g
vicious persecution. This state draft
ed the first law to fingerprint for
eign born workers.
No Deportaitons!
Against this, the Communist Party
stands like a rock, demanding no de-
portations, no registration Of foreign
born workers, for registration is pre-
liminary to black list, discrimination
in relief and deportation.
Eight hundred heard Ford, in spite
of all police and Legion menacing
when he spoke in Central Park here
yesterday. Many were Negro work
ers.
