THE idea Of calling that gracile

a gag. You remember the routine
wherein some of the young men in

Well. they missed the twelfth Aris-
tocrat.
She is now nursing a broken arm
and is out for a few weeks. Went on
working for a bit after the accident,
before the fracture was discovered.
When the act came in here they start
ed off doing their tossing across stage.
Perhaps to give the girls a chance to
feel easy about it once again. Now
they heave from backstage toward
the footlights, and If they miss the
pianist will receive an aristocrat in
his lap.

demands:

During the recent days there has

against the proposed pension plan.
Several thousand l. R. T. workers
rallied last Friday at a meeting
called by the Transport Workers
Union to support these demands.
New struggles are looming in
transport in New York, struggles
against the N. r. A.. against all the
plans of the capitalists to beat
down the living standards of the
workers on the New York subways.
The workers in New York are
moving forward to a series Of strikes
and new class battles. The mem
bers of the Brotherhood of Painters
are blazing the way. The struggles
of the knitgoods workers, the strug-
gle of the workers in the heavy
building trades industry, the fight
of the tugboat men and the seamen
against wage cuts-all of these
struggles are directed against the
N. r. A.
The task of the workers in the
A. F. of L. unions, in the indie
pendent unions, is to unite their
forces and drive forward against
the class collaboration policies of
the A. F. of L. leaders and to unite
with the entire working class, or
ganized and unorganized, in the
fight against the new deal.

Leaders ofUpholsterers Union
Split Budding United Front
BY Rico

ut is understood that under such
threats the workers of local 108, in
spite of their desire to unite with
the workers of our union in the
coming struggles, were afraid to
raise their voices. The Mattress De-
partment of the National Furniture
Workers Industrial Union condemns
the leadership of the Upholsterers
International for such action. They
don't want the workers to unite
their forces. They are betraying the
interests of the bedding workers.
I'VE appeal to the members of
local 108 to fight against their mis-
leaders and decide over the heads
of these betrayers for one united
front with the workers of our union
that will enable us to organize all
the unorganized workers in the bed
ding industry and improve their
conditions.
eve challenge the leadership of
local 108, Deamer and Faye, to come
out in an open debate to prove
whether their statements are COR
rect. We, on the other hand are
ready to prove with the workers of
the shops controlled by our Union
that all the statements of these mis-
leaders are falsehoods and were in
tentionally made to break the united
'front.'
Frank Wechsler, a worker and
member of the united front COM
mittee, gave the following report
on the betrayal:
In a recent effort for united
front of the Mattress Section of N.
Y. local of the National Furniture
Workers Industrial Union and local
108 of the American Federation of
Labor, an experience of life
time has come to me which am sure
can not be excelled.
1--WE succeeded through great eff
fort to have joint committee meet
ings with members of the A. F. Of
L., local 108. We succeeded in print
ing joint leaflets for organizational
purposes, naming both unions in
them as united front action. We
succeeded in having joint MEM
bership meeting. and, from there on
starts story, a story of much i'm
portance to all workers, regardless
of craft, regardless of union affilia-
ton.
AT their next regular meeting
after the joint membership meeting
of both unions, there came the
break, the break of all thoughts of
united action in our coming strike
We, as National Furniture Workers
Industrial Union members, were in
vited to be present at their regular
meeting where the question Of a
vote of these members came up for
the united front.

International Prestige Drops
No wonder that the prestige of
the International knitgoods local
has dropped to the lowest ebb. Their
members are resenting their off
Gals and demand the removal Of
the present leadership which con-
Sists of outright reactionaries and
professional scabs. Nor do the
workers let themselves be cajoled
by the newly assigned vice presi-
dent, Zimmerman, or Ninfo and
Greenberg.
Before the members of the IN
ternational stands out a living ex-
ample of what an honest and mill
tant Union can do for the work
ers. The Industrial Union, by it's
stubborn fight to maintain the 80
hour week, to uphold conditions, to
fight against Determinations, has
endeared itself not only to its own
members but to the members of
the International as we'll. Work
erS in the trade know of the strenu-
Gus efforts made by the Knitgoods
Workers Industrial Union to bring
together the split ranks of the
workers for united action, for one
strike, for one joint struggle against
the common enemy the boss.
Only a few days ago the Indus
trial Union sent letter to Dublin
sky with proposals for calling the
strike jointly and for amalgamat-
ing all the forces of the knitgoods
workers. The International is re-
peatedly turning down all these
proposals and they are scheming
to betray the workers once more
That they are very much afraid Of
the sentiment of their own mem
bers can be evidence by the warn
ing they gave out to their shop
chairmen not to dare to bring the
International workers to the strik-
ing halls of the Industrial Union.
This threat and warning to their
shop chairmen is of utmost signi-
ficance.
To bolster up the shattered spirit
of their workers they have re-
sorted to a publicity campaign Of
lies and camou1age The New
York Times, Womens Wear and
other capitalist newspapers are at
their complete disposal
Not Taken Seriously
Their own workers however do
not take this propaganda seriously.
They know that their officials are
juggling with their demands. The
80 hour week, displayed by them
SO prominently, has not even been
mentioned at the conference
Dubinsky had with the manufac-
turers. Nor will they make the
least effort to get the wage scales.
1t is from the Knitgoods Work
ers Industrial Union that the work
ers can expect improved conditions.
The Industrial Union will continue
to fight stubbornly to extend the
IS hour week throughout the trade,
to get living minimum wage scales.
unemployment relief fund and
other Union conditions. The Knit
goods Workers Industrial Union
will continue to fight for unity of
all workers Of the trade.
Knitgoods workers. Rally to the
Knitgoods Workers Industrial Union
