The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1933-04-27

dustrial Union organized by
the bosses together with the
leaders of the A. F. of j. in
an effort to kill the militant
leaders and to break the heroic
struggle of the fur workers for &C.
cent living conditions. must meet
with the unanimous condemnation OF
all workers regardless Of their union
affiliation or their political views and
opinions.
This attack on the lives Of these
first rank fighters, organized by the
bosses Jointly with the A. F. Of L..
burocrats and the extent to which
they are helping the bosses to carry
through their vicious attack on the
conditions Of the workers. The fur
workers have been amongst the first
workers in New York City 10 carry
through real united front policy
and 10 mobilize all workers, regard
less Of their views and opinions, in
struggle against their common enc
my. In the course of the past two
years, they have carried through
strikes in which thousands Of work
ers have won higher wages, shorter
hours and decent living conditions.
THE furrierS under the leadership
of the Needle Trades Workers In
dustrial Union have been the first
to establish an unemployment insur-
ance fund paid by the bosses. Through
their united efforts they have sue
eeeded in throwing of the yoke of
oppression, long hours and sweat shop
conditions, forced upon them by the
unholy alliance of the bosses and the
burocrats of the A. F. Of L.
THE successful struggles of the fur
riers have exposed the poisonous pro-
paganda of the bosses and the A. F.
Of L. officials that the workers can
not win better conditions during the
period of a crisis. The successful
struggles of the fur workers have been
an inspiration to the workers in other
trades TO unite their ranks and to
fight for better conditions. The
growth Of the Industrial Union, the
militancy and determination of the
workers to build their class struggle
union struck terror into the hearts
of the bosses who have once more
turned to the A. F. of L. for support
in their struggle sSeinst the workers.
Since the negotiations have been
broken off with the Associated Man
ufacturers, the bosses have been plot
ting with the officials of the A. F.
of L. to launch new pogrom against
the workers. %
1.-THE Trade Union Unity Council
is confident that the fur workers and
the needle trades workers as whole
will defeat this new attack on their
conditions, on their union, just as
they have frustrated their previous
attacks. In this struggle, the fur
workers will have the full support Of
all members of the unions affiliated
to the Trade Union Unity Council
and every class conscious worker Of
the A. F. of l.. The Trade Union
Unity Council calls on all militant
workers to rally to the support OF
the Needle Trades Workers Industrial
Union. 1t calls on the workers of the
A. F. of L. to protest the murderous
attacks on the Industrial Union and
to repudiate the action of the ON
Gals and to pledge their support to
the militant fur workers. We are
confident that with this support, the
fur workers will defeat the new po-
grom and will continue to build their
Industrial Union as a powerful weap-
on in defense of their class interests
and will give their assistance to all
other workers in their struggles for
decent living conditions"
