Attempting to point out that the

Our investigation disclosed that the

warned the strikers as they have
from the beginning not to rely on the
promises Of LaGuardia and the N.R.A.

In this situation the Industrial
Union has proposed the following
steps:
l. To concentrate all forces of
the strikers on the largest hotels
owned by the president, vice-oresi-
dent and secretary Of the Hotel
Mems Association and crack their
blacklist wall against the strikers.
2. That the General Strike Com

need among the strikers that a re-

immediate steps to raise funds for
