Needle Union Protests to 0'Brien
The Needle Trades Union requested
a conference in a protest letter to
Mayor O'Brien and Police Commits
Sioner Bolan against the outrageous
attacks on the workers in the fur
markets and demanded protection of
the fundamental rights of the work
erS to congregate on the fur market
without being molested.
The Fur Department of the Indus
trial Union calls upon the workers to
intensity their struggles in the fur
shops on strike and increase their &C
tivity tenfold for the improvement Of
their conditions.
The Importance Of building work
ers' defense movement against these
attacks becomes increasingly impera-
tive. The conference at 4 West 18th
St., at the Food Workers Union
headquarters must therefore be
widely representative of all working
class organizations for a united pro-
gram and united action against gang
sterism and racketeering.
In statement on the terror drive
of the A. F. Of L. in the fur trade,
the Trade Union Unity Council de-
clared today that the attempt of the
A. F. of L. to enter the fur industry
will arouse the most burning indig-
nation on the part of the fur workers
and other workers familiar with the
role Of the A. F. Of L. in the past in
the needle trades and in the fur
trade especially. Pointing out that
fur workers who were terrorized once
before by clique Of A. F of l.. Of
ficialS for a period of six years and
whose conditions were reduced to alb
ject poverty, have only been able to
improve conditions in the shops I'M
der the leadership of the Industrial
union.
The T.U.UC. declares further that
the furriers have won wage increases
ranging from IS to 800 established
an unemployment insurance fund to
be paid by the employers and admin
istered by the workers, and are
gradually roofing out the evils that
infested the trade during the period
of the A. F. Of L. domination. Their
