UNION STATEMENT
CALLS T0ILERS TO
NEEDLE PROTEST

In a statement calling upon the
workers to come to Union Square in
tens of thausonds on Saturday, May
1s, at 1 pm. to take up the struggle
against the gangsters and racketeers
in the needle trades industry, the
Needle Trades Workers Industrial
Union declares in part:
"The murderous attack upon the
Needle Trades Workers Industrial
Union in an attempt to kill its lead
ers, following right upon the heels
of the fatal bombing OF Morris
LANCER, must not remain IMAM
sweredl
These attacks we're engineered by
the bosses, their agents, the Becker
mans and Kaufmans, former labor
leaders, together with those who are
still officers in the ranks of the
workers. The bosses resort to the
use of injunctions, deportations,
gangsters and racketeering in an at
tempt to destroy the growing resist
ance of the workers.
During the last few years, rack
eteering has become widespread in
the needle trades industry In the
fur, cloak, dress and mems clothing
trades, racketeering has already
taken root in one form or another.
Racketeering affects all needle trades
workers, irrespective of union or po-
ltical Affiliations. The attack upon
the Industrial Union. engineered by
the fur bosses and supported by the
manufacturers Of all other trades,
was carried through with the OBJ
ject of destroying the gains achieved
by the militant fur workers and to
prevent the mobilization of the cloak
and dressmakers as well as other
needle trades workers in struggle for
better conditions.
Let no honest worker remain in
different to these struggles against
exploitation. terror and aangster
control. Let us organize powerful
united front army ready to struggle
for better conditions and to defend
the lives Of the workers and their
leaders.
The Needle Trades Workers Indus
trial Union, which has deterlninedly
fought for unity in the ranks Of the
workers, is conducting fearless
struggle against the bosses, their
agents, racketeers and underworld
gangsters.
Join in this struggle. No needle
trades worker should fail to parti-
cipate in this mass protest demon
stration against racketeering and I'M
derworld control over the needle
trades, Saturday, May 10, at pm.
at Union Square.

by JOE1N ADAMS.
NEWARK, N. j., May 81 climbed
the stairs at No. 18th Ave. to the
third floor where the Alcolese family
live. Mrs. Alcolese answered the door.
She remembered me from Sunday
and let me in. Joe, her son, was at
home.
Sitting in the kitchen of the neat
four room flat, I spoke with 23-year
old Joseph, one OF the firty-five young
workers expelled from the Civilian
Conservation Corps, at Camp Dix for
putting up a militant resistance to
the rotten conditions existing there.
Tells Own Story
I asked Joe to tell me in his own
words, the story of this struggle: 81
have been out of work for over two
years." Joe began. "and so when this
proposition came up, I figured it's bet
ter than nothing and it will help the
family. SO I signed Up after going
through a lot of red tape with the
welfare officials"
Arrives At Camp
I'VE got to camp and they give
us one day of military drill. Some
ieutenants treat us good and some
we're lousy. One day new lieutenant
came into our tent and asked fell
low question. The fellow answers,
yeah The lieutenant hollers at him,
say SIR"
There is not much work to do but
they keep us busy We put up tents,
dig bitches, etc They claim we are
to get $50 month and we are to get
only So out of this. The balance goes
to the family but my family doesn't
get that money yet. They gave me
1892 the day left camp"
Not Enough Food
Joe went on, From the first day
was there, they never give enough
food. We eat three times day.
For breakfast they would give US a
slice OF bread with some kind OF
chopped meat and gravy on it. The
coffee was worse than anything. For
a few days, we didn't even get coffee,
just water. They said for an excuse
that the pipe was dirty and they were
cleaning it,"
JIM CEOW NSstOee
Did you know that Negro young
workers were kept in a separate part
of camp from your" asked him.
Yeah, I knew and I think there
is something no good in this. I tell
the other boys that 1t Is wrong for
them to talk against these colored
boys but most of them, they don't
know any better yet"
He continued, eve all saw, the day
they took us away, a colored boy be-
ing taken out Of headquarters by a
soldier who kept his gun pointed at
the colored boy. We wondered why
they did this"
An Organized Protest
He came to the events that took
place last Friday when over a hun
bred Of these young workers left the
mess hall and shouted in their tents:
mo eats, no work"

WHY We WERE EXPELLED FROM CAMP DIX, N.Y.; STARVE
ATROOSEVELT FORCED LABOR CAMP, SAYSYOUNC WORKER

One story was that a young worker
had been refused saddle horse and
hired cab to go and hire one at
a riding academy. Another was that
many expensive cars came out TO
Camp DIX, Sunday, bringing the par
ents Of the boys, who we're undoubt-
edly "gangsters and trouble makers
according to the army officials there.
Joe answered my questions: That's
q lie. One fellow, he came back with
me and I go to his house. tell
you 1t is only a lousy dollar day
but he was better off at camp than
at home. But what could he do2 He
can't work If he doesn't get enough
food"
His own family was described. Joe
realized that he was one Of those
who we're being called unworthy and
gangeter elements" His cheeks famed
as he went on:
Little Relief
MY father, out of work for six
months. Five Kids in our family.
They get ten dollars every two weeks
from the welfare but we have to pay
it back when the bank settles for
what savings we got tied up. Seven
people, five dollars week. We live
here eleven years and are five
months behind in rent"
Yes, there are lots of youths like
Joe who are going to find out that
this New DEAL camps Of Roosevelt
really mean The workers are going
forward to force the payment Of un-
employment insurance at the expense
Of the employers and the government.
They must. There is no other way
out The fight at Camp Dix arose
out of the rotten conditions existent
there. Military terror will not smash
the spirit Of revolt that such condi-
tons arouse

There were IS Of us altogether who
left the camp. 1t happened like this:
They called us to eat and when we
saw the food, we said mo eat no
work" There were about 400 in the
mess hall, and the lieutenant called
the captain who sent for the major
The men were hungry, they were
starving. They fed us raw potatoes
and little pieces OF fish. About 100
joined in the cry Of I'VE want food
When the major came he said, "if
there is anything to be said, come
to me and make your complaints
We got In line to make complaints
and there was lot to complain about
we said we did not refuse to work
but we cannot work with empty stom-
achs. He said did you join this
crowd Of your own free will7" We
thought we would have chance to
complain, but he dismissed lis one
after the other after we answered
yes. There were 81 Of us while we
were going for our clothes, but some
how the others disappeared and only

manufacturers, when they took out
an injunction against the rank and
file fur workers joint board last year.
The injunction was applied for joint
ly in the name of the Fox bosses
and the A. F. of L. union. Marrow
represented both the union and the
fur bosses in this injunction fight.
1t has also been established that
Marrow is the nephew of DR.. Paul
