Imprisonment of the leaders of the

would thus be able to break the back
bone Of the furrisrs' union. McGrady
in the manner Of true agent pro-
vacateur instituted the police inyes-
tigat;on against Ben Gold and the
entire leadership. When the leaders
OF the union exposed this open agent

which he wanted to railroad to jail
not only Gold and Schneider but ten
other militant workers.

their activity both ideologically and
rganizationally
The lie of Japanese imperialism, to
the effect that the Japanese nation is
unit in support of its imperialistic
aims, is exposed by all the above
facts. In addition, why is it neces-
Sary to carry on all the terror and
mass arrests if the nation is unit?
Not only are thousands of revolution
aries and militant workers arrested,
but The terror is carried on against
the toilers as a whole.
Continuous Searches
Continuous searches are carried on
not only in the homes of workers but
also in those of students and intel
lsctuals. Street cars are stopped and
the passengers searched. Thousands
of special police and gendarnes are
stationed in the working class and
industrial sections of Tokyo, OSAKA,
Kobe, Kyoto, etc.
The police are organized along mill
cary lines and must reside in such
places that they can be mobili2ed in
minimum of time. This surely
gives the lie to the imperialist claim
of national unity" On the contrary,
we see an increasing division, and
this on class lines, On the one hand
the toiling masses, on the other the
irnperialists and their refornist
lackeys.
The task now is to extend this
movement and organize it, especially
in the factories, mines, docks, ships
and among the military forces.

workers has received his re-
ward at the hands of the
bosses.
With McGrady in the Labor
Department the bosses government
will be able to carry through more
effectively the hunger program,
forced labor, and the ruthless attack
on the conditions Of the workers. 1t
is important for the workers To know
why this bitter fighter of the militant
workers received this high govern
ment post.
The needle trades workers, espe-
cially the furriers, know from bitter
experience the price paid for Nc
Grady's betrayals. Here are some
facts about McGradys treacherous
role in the needle trades.
In 1926, the furriers, after many
years of struggle against the corrupt
grating Kaufman-Stetsky machine
gained control Of their union and car
ried through militant seventeen
weeks long strike that will remain
one of the most brilliant pages in the
history of not only the needle trades
workers, but of the entire American
labor movement. In this strike the
workers won the 40-hour week, in
creases in wages, and succesded in
establishing one hundred per cent
control Of the industry and control
Of their union.
The ousted officials, hated and de-
spised by TIE masses Of the furriera
secured the help of the A. F. of l.
with whose aid they launched a vi
cious pogrom against the furrieri
which lasted period of six years and
has brought untold misery and suf-
fering to the thousands of furriers
and their families
Chief P5gromist.
Edward McGrady was the leader
and chief of this bloody pogrom. Nc
Grady came in as chief supervisor
Of the Joint Council. McGrady made
q common cause with the bosses who

and New Jersey were OF no avail
The furriers had learned from thelI
bitter experience that to submit to
the rule of McGrady means to die
of misery and starvation. The revolt
of the furriers, the united struggle
of the furriers against their oppres-
sors delivered crushing defeat to
McGrady and the entire A. F. of l..
outfit who we're completely driven
from the fur trade.
The treacherous work Of McGrady
in the fur trade is but one chapter
in his history of betrayals which he
carried through against every groetr
of workers with which he ever came
N contact. No wonder that he was
chosen as a high ranking official t9r
the United States Department Of La7
Dor. With his aid the bosses will
attempt to stifle the rising revolt OF
the American working class against
hunger, misery. against wage cuts
and unemployment. x
