NEW YORK.-The flood of let

to swamp the editorial office yes

the new paper has received is the

dustrial Union

CLEVELAND, Ohio, Aug. 10
Four hundred workers of the Eaton
Axle Co. are out. solid on strike,
demanding higher wages, under the

Workers Industrial Union.
Over 325 have signed applica-
ton cards for membership in the
union and paid initiation fees.
The strikers are demanding an
increase in pay of SO per cent.
There are special demands for Ne
gro workers and skilled machinists.
All strikers have agreed to fight
for the reinstatement of blacklisted
Negro workers, also to spread the
strike to the Eaton Axle spring
and service plants.
Groups of strikers are picketing
these plants.
The A. F. of L. leaders sent a
committee to the workers for dis
ruptive work. The strikers are de-
nouncing them, praising the wage
code of the Steel and Metal Work
ers Industrial Union, and it's fight
ing leadership.
In early negotiations the bosses
agreed to recognize the union and
requested the workers to return
and wait for further settlements.
The workers emphatically rejected
the offer, demanding recognition
of other grievances.

day of the big dress strike af-

Connecticut and New Jersey,
$4,000 workers were reported
out on strike, while more than $1,000
dressmakers were officially reported
as striking under the leadership Of
the Needle Trades Workers Industrial
Union. Grim determination was ex-
pressed on the faces Of the thou
sands of dressmakers as they poured
into the strike halls Of the Needle
Trades Workers Industrial Union and
the International Ladies Garment
Workers that the strike must be
waged to win better conditions and
to wipe out the sweatshop conditions.
Groups Of workers gathered in the
strike halls told Of the eagerness with
which dressmakers in the open shops
welcomed union committees which
came to call them out on strike.
Thousands Of new faces, especially
Negro workers, crowded the strike
halls indicating the changing COM
position OF the dressmakers. The
dressnlakers will not be trifled with
in this strike.
As the strike movement takes on
greater strength, the Needle Trades
Union is determined to appeal to the
ILGWU again for united struggle,
and united picket lines, in order to
win victory for the workers, and pre-
vent any attempt to sell out the
workers.

Communist Party
Issues Statement
On Dress Strike
Calls Party Members
In Dress Trade to
Take Lead

NEW YORK.-The Communist
Party, District 2 in statement is
sued yesterday on the general strike
call of the Needle Trades Workers
Industrial Union calls upon every
Party member in the needle trades
to take his post and carry out his
Communist duty in the struggle of
the thousands of dressmakers for
decent working conditions.
The statement reads in part:
In this strike situation, the mem
bers of the Communist Party have
as their highest Communist duty to
be in the forefront of the strike to
give leadership to the workers and
by our example, inspire the thou
sands of dressmakers to carry on
the struggle to victory.
The Party members in the dress
trade have been the builders of the
industrial Union and have been in
the forefront not only in the strug-
gle Of the dressmakers, but in the
Struggles of the workers in the
other trades in New York City, e.g.,
the fur trade. The present strike
is a real test of our Communist
leadership, courage, and fighting
spirit.
In the name of the District Buro
of the Communist Party, We call on
you to enter in the first line trenches
of the present battles, first of all
in the shop, in the market, among
the members of the International,
among the unorganized workers,
wherever workers can be modified
for effective struggle against their
mortal enemies, the bosses and their
allies.
