Union Ends Strike
At GarSide Plant;
Hits ALL. Leaders
Strike Was Warming To
Manufacturers and Boot
And Shoe Heads

The United Shoe and Leather
Workers Union issued the follow
ing statement on the termination
Of the strike at the Garside Shoe
Factory in Long Island City:
After IL weeks of determined
struggle on the picket line, fighting
for their elementary rights to be-
long to a union of their own choos-
ing, fighting against discharges, the
Garside workers called off the
strike. In this strike, the Boot and
Shoe officials acting as open strike
breakers, once again proved to the
workers the logical steps they must
take in order to clean out of the
shoe industry of New York, the
bosses strikebreaking agencies.
The shoe workers will not forget
the heroic resistance of the Garside
strikers, nor the strikebreaking of
the Boot and Shoe officialdom. The
United Shoe and Leather Workers
Union has called off this strike
without any feeling of defeat. This
strike is a warning to the Official
dom of the Boot and Shoe and the
manufacturers whom they serve.
That our organization has forces in
every Boot and Shoe controlled fac
tory, that our Union will continue
TO carry on the struggle of the
workers in every shop for better
conditions, for rank and file con-
troll and against the evils piling up
in the Boot and Shoe factories for
which the Boot and Shoe officials
are responsible through their tao
tics OF working hand in hand with
the bosses.
The union calls upon the shoe
workers of New York, upon all
members of the Boot and Shoe
Union, to organize rank and file
groups in the shops, to fight for
wage increases, for the 81 per hour
Tor skilled workers, to Join with
our members in united action to
bring about general improvement
OF the conditions of all workers In
the shoe industry"

In the fur trade, the Fur Workers
Industrial Union has succeeded
through a series Of severe struggles
in organizing most Of the trade
under its leadership. Despite our
victories, however, the fact still
remains that up until the recent
Furriers National Convention about
$500 men, mostly young and Negro
workers, in our union shops work
under non-union conditions. Because
of lack of organization, these young
men not only did--and stiH do
the work of shipping clerks and
r-boys but also that of skilled
fuFfiers. There waS-and still is in
most cases-no limit to the amount
of hours they work. Most of them
do not even receive the minimum
of SIG a week.
However, these young workers
gradually came to realize that their
only hope for living wage and
shorter hours lay only n organizing
into the Fur Workers Industrial
Union.
Young workers on the N. T. w.
l. U. Youth Committee realized
that with the struggles becoming
fiercer every day to maintain union
conditions our immediate task was
to organize the floor boys. Two
weeks before the Furriers National
Convention, at the second meeting
OF the Youth Committee, we took
up the question OF the organization
OF the floor-boys with the three

Of all the thousands of white
collar workers who have learned the
elementary lessons of organization
and solidarity, those In the Asso-
citation of office and Professional
Emergency Employees have gone far
in applying newly gained knowl-
edge.
In existence bare ten months,
this group with its 1900 members
scattered on as emergency work
projects has behind it promising
record of militant struggle.
Engaged in work ranging from
dramatic productions to housing
surveys, the white collar workers
under the tender patronage of bu-
reaucratic state and city work re-
lief administrations have found
themselves bullied, inundated, in
competently directed and consis-
tently denied opportunities to apply
their specialized skill in manner
Consistent with their professional
integrity.
This consideration, coupled with
miserably small wages and the de-
graduation of repeated investigation,
were the goads to organized action.

earnestly announces its program

The American Federation of Labor
leaders in their majority are the
servants of the capitalist class in
the ranks of the working class.
Their strategy is class collabora-
ton; their task is to mislead the
workers and betray their struggle
For this purpose they need docile
and ignorant MEMBERSHIP mem
bership that is inactive and dis
couraged and leaves the business OF
the union entirely in the hands OF
the leaders.
A class struggle union is built on
the basis that the interests of the
working class and that of the cap
italist are opposed to each other,
antagonistic and irreconcilible. The
workers can win their struggle by
mobilizing the entire strength OF
their class, by getting the support
of the masses of workers in each
struggle to oppose the power of the
capitalists and their government.
Union Class Struggle Weapon
To defend the interests of the
workers against the capitalist class
effectively, a union must be q
weapon of struggle for the working
class, with an active and militant
membership. To transform the old
unions into class struggle unions
and buid new ones based on pro-
gram of the class struggle, is the

Floor Boys and Shipping
Clerks Plan Organization

floor boys present at the meeting.
We decided to hold a meeting of
the floor boys and shipping clerks
before the convention, which we did.
Two Negro workers were elected
to speak and take up the question
of organization of the floor boys.
Although these boys never spoke
before they took the floor and
clearly brought out the conditions
under which they, as unorganized
workers were living. AS workers
they were of course exploited, as
young workers exploited and still
again as Negroes. There was only
one way Of solving this triple prob
lem and that was by organizing
them.
Made Proposals
The following proposals were
suggested by them; that every Or
ganizer in his respective district
encourage and attend to all COM
plants of shipping clerks and floor
boys at once and fight for the inn
provement of their conditions, en-
forcement of the $16 minimum for
maximum hours for all floor boys,
immediate organization into the
Fur Workers Industrial Union. No
discrimination against Negro work
ers or young workers. No loor-boy
to do the work of more than one
person and II there is work for
more than one to hire another
