Prepare for General Strike
Establishes United Front with Two Locals of the
American Federation of Labor
by Rico

Union, which up till now had no
more than shop agreements with
the manufacturers, succeeded in
the course OF the last year to
strengthen its organization and the
workers are now ready to struggle
for fAl Union recognition and bet
ter conditions. The Metal Bed Sec
ton proved to be very militant and
the workers are confident that this
coming strike viii bring very good
results in the trade.
Upholsterers Revive Activity
The Upholstery Section of our
Union which weakened in its activi-
ties for the last few months, now
revived its activities in preparation
for the strike. Special membership
meetings were held where this mat
ter was discussed. Brother Pizer of
the General Executive Board was
assigned by the General Executive
Board to work with the Upholstery
Section in preparation for the
strike. The Section elected a COM
mittee Of seven, worked out full
plan On how to reach the, unor-
ganized and also how to establish
united front, with the Upholsterers
of Local 76 in order to smash the
attacks of the bosses which fell upon
the upholsterers very heavily since
the last general strike.
The other sections, The Custom
Upholstery, Broom Section, Table
Section and Curtain and Drapery
Section are carrying on their actiyi-
ties and are also discussing the sit
uation in their trade in preparation
for the coming strike.
Each Section of our Union de-
cided at their membership meetings
to tax themselves with a days
wages in order to raise strike fund
for the coming general strike. The
workers are paying this money full
heartedly, seeing the activities of
the Union.

Now, more sharply than ever, the

1t is urgent for all workers to Join

Tense, with the struggles of other

solidarity for workers rights.
On June %, trade unions and
mass organizations should send

Rank and File Movement
Grows in Actors Equity

heretofore, the administrative and
executive activity Of the organiza-
ton has been conducted. The sec
ond amendment provides a means
for the general membership to
amend and change the bylaws OF
the association. Before the bylaws
could be added to and altered only
by the Executive Council.
Some Victories Work
The vote on q third amendment
resulted in a tie, and so the amend
ment was defeated, but stubborn
fight by the new Councillors elected
by the rank and file won the right
to have the amendment submitted
to a general referendum. This
amendment, if carried, will enable
members who are not more than
one year in arrears to vote.
Investigation revealed that APP
proxmately 1000 members would
thus be enfranchised. This extern
sion of the electorate would make
it considerably more difficult for
the officials to pack meetings at
which voting is held, and SO it is
being bitterly fought by the lead
ership. Because of the Importance
of this amendment as a preliminary
to further changes, the rank and
file is concentrating its energy and
forces to effect its passage. The
question will be submitted to a vote
within the next month.
Fight for H.R. 1898
Since its inception the rank and
file committee has been meeting
regularly and its subcommittee
have been occupied with exhaustive
Investigations on conditions. Their
recommendations have been consid-
cred and numerous resolutions have
been passed by the general rank
and file to be submitted by their
Councillors to the Executive Coun-
Gil. Among these are; resolution
that Equity sponsor and support the
Workers Social and Unemployment
Insurance Bill (H.R. 1898; a reso-
luton limiting the conditions un-
der which managers may cut
actors contractual salaries, prohibit
ing individual bargaining, and pro-
viding that ali negotiations must go
through the union office; a reSolu-
ton, accompanied by a tentative
plan, providing pay for actors dur
ing rehearsal.

Browder, Krumbein To
Speak at Marine Union
Banquet on Thursday

NEW YORK. - Earl Browder,
Charles Krumbein, Hayes Jones,
editor of the Marine Workers Voice,
and Harold Farmer, OF the Marine
Workers, Industrial Union, will
speak at a dinner on Thursday
June 2lst, 7:3e p. m. at LIE Bourget
Restaurant, 1877 West 44th ST., under
the auspices OF the Provisional
Committee. for the Support OF the
Marine Workers Industrial Union.
With the present situation in the
marine industry the work of this
committee is most important. Work
ers, professionals and inteliectuals
will find this an unusual oppor-
tunity to hear the reports of these
leaders. The charge Is rs cents a

In spite OF the most violent oppo-
sion on the part OF the official
dem. the rank and file movement
in the Actors Equity Association is
steadily gaining strength and
ground. Every conceivable tactic is
employed by President Frank Gil
more and his aides to obStruct not
only the organizational growth of
this movement but to discredit and
defeat any legislation-no matter
how valuable it may be to the actor
that this progressive group may
initiate.
From the first the red scare has
been consistently employed to pref
udice the membership and confuse
the issues. Fake loyalty" and the
sacred memory of "Equity's glorious
past are invoked to sustain the
present bureaucracy in power. Pc
litical maneuvers of the most ques-
tionable kind are utilized to fore
stall the introduction of organiza-
tional changes that would give more
voice to the rank and file. Members
have received unofficial letters
written on official Equity stationery
and signed by the Honorary Presi-
dent), calling on them to lefeat the
impetuous youngsters who would
upset the apple cart. Even typo
graphical errors that have COM
pletely distorted the sense of petit
lions and clerical errors" that have
mislaid communications and thus
delayed important action on them
have been resorted in a frantic at
tempt to check the hardy growth of
the rank and file organization.
Dissatisfied with Leadership
Among the rank and file actors,
however, there is widespread dis
satisfaction with the leadership of
the Association.
Although the movement is still
less than four months old, several
important victories have already
been achieved. At the annual cleo
ton on June LIST, seven out of the
thirteen members elected to the ex-
ecutiye council were. candidates of
the rank and file. At the same
meeting, two amendments to the
constitution proposed by the rank
and file were adopted. One amend
ment calls for four regular meet
ings of the general membership
each year, instead of one. This is
the first step in a program of de-
stroying the secrecy with which

crew drew up their demands and
a couple seconds later the police
came aboard armed with sawed off
shot guns to drive the crew back
to work or in the hoosegow. A
plaster was put on the ship fore
ing the captain to pay everyone
of in full and place three men in
the hospital for treatment Now
the crews are taking action to force
better wages and conditions on the
ship.
Action has taken place amongst
the unemployed for relief. A COM
mittee working inside the S. c. I.
has forced the officials to fork over
relief to many seamen. Everytime
a leaflet is issued, the S. C. I. calls
the police who infest the joint,
ready to club and jail any seaman
who dared ask for relief.
Bargemen Strike
Strike action has taken place
amongst the bargemeh. The
United Bargenens Union officials
were forced to call a strike, through
the pressure of the rank and file.
The fake officials refused united
front with our union who had also
called out two companies on strike.
When things got too hot for the
takers and the rank and file were
demanding a united front with our
union, Captain Maher and the head
faker. peddled them out. Our
union by taking a correct position
proved to the bargenlen that it
fights for unity, and out of this
struggle which lasted for several
days, number Of bargemen Joined
our union.
Despite the increased terror and
the skiIlful maneuvering OF the
labor takers, the marine workers are
taking action under leadership OF
the Marine Workers Industrial
Union and are preparing for the
National Conference to be held IN
Baltimore Sept. LIST and End, by or
ganizing and taking actions for
better wages and conditions and
especially NOW to further and
strengthen and make more effec-
tive the strike of the west coast.
The Marine Workers Industrial
Union in the eyes of the Seamen is
the ONLY union on the waterfront,
and through our daily struggles the
M. w. l. U. will be a union built
by the marine workers as the mass
union.

Every department of the National
Furniture Workers Industrial Union
is now preparing its membership for
a general strike. The Union carries
on campaign throughout the in
dustry in preparation for this strike.
Every department Of the Union held
mass meetings for the last two
weeks, where not only the member
ship responded but also unorganized
workers from open shops responded
to the call and were present at these
meetings. These meetings discussed
the preparations for the coming
general strike. Every department is
issuing leaflets which are distributed
among the furniture workers inthe
large factories and the workers are
accepting these leaflets very sympa-
theticaIly and there are very good
prospects that the coming general
strike in the furniture industry will
strengthen the Union and improve
the conditions of the workers in the
industry.
Mattress Section in United Front
In preparation for this general
strike the Mattress Section of the
Union established a united front
with Local 108 OF the American Fed
Grafton OF Labor. AT meeting of
a Joint Committee which was
elected at the membership meetings
of both unions it was decided to
issue joint leaflet to the work
ers in this Fade to call upon them
to strike for better conditions I'M
der the leadership of the Joint
Committee of Local 108 and the
Mattress Section of the New York
local of the National Furniture
Workers Industrial Union. The news
OF this Il n il ed front spread
throughout the trade very quickly.
The workers are accepting it with
much interest and satisfaction and
they look upon this act as a real
attempt to unity the workers in
the fight for better conditions.
The bosses, on the other hand,
learning about this united front are
very much in panic and they are
realizing the strength of the mat
tress makers and the possibilities of
their organization at the present
time.
Cabinet Section
The Cabinet Section of the New
I York local of the National Furni-
ture Workers Industrial Union also
established united front with the
Wood Carvers Association "a. F. of
L., the New York local. At q
meeting of the two committees
elected by the memberships of the
two Unions it was decided to act
unitedly in the coming general
strike and to have representatives
OF each union to speak to the men,
bership of the other union and also
to work out joint demands in our
new agreement.

extremely astounding.
Everybody with an ounce of sense
knows that the textile code is one
OF the worst labor writS ever con-
cocted in the y. S. A. Through the
minimum wage joker it has cut the
wages of the textile workers in the
North to $13 and those IN the
South to $l2 week.
In supporting the N. r. A, Du-
binsky is taking long step toward
fascism. For one of the aims Of
the NJ R A is government control
of the trade unions. Through the
National and Regional Labor
Boards the Roosevelt government
proposes to tell the workers in the
unions when they shall hold cleo
lions and how they shall hold them.
The N. R. A. aims to outlaw strikes
by submitting every grievance OF
the workers to so-called impartial
boards ON which the bosses have
the ma jority vote.
Support OF the N. r. A. also

means support of company unions.
1t is no longer secret that the
National Labor Board places COM
pany unions in the same category
with legitimate trade unions.
DUT Dubinsky is not having such
y easy sailing nowadays. A great
section Of the rank and file in
Dubinsky's own local, Local 10, has
declared against the class collabora-
ton policies of their leader" The
Rank and File Cutters League, re
Gently formed, has worked out a
real class program for the local and
is rapidly gaining new supporters.
The Rank and File Cutters League
is fighting for a class struggle union
controlled by the rank and file, for
trade union democracy, for dues ex-
emption for the unemployed, for
one scale of wages for all cutters
and for unemployment insurance
and relief paid by the bosses and
the government.
BY actively supporting the pro-
gram of the League the rank and
file of Local 10 will be able to
smash down the deadening influ-
ence OF the Dubinsky clique and
build a fighting class union that
will defend the interests Of the
workers.
A SPLENDID united front of the
II rank and file has been accom-
pliShed in the Pocketbook Workers
Union. Communists, Socialists and
workers of other political opinions
have united their forces against the
appointment of Osip WolinSky, who
has a long record of class collabore-
ton and corruption, as the ''ad-
visor" of the union.
The ProgreSsives, the Leather
Workers Society, the Rank and
File Committee and the Socialist
League have Joined hands to drive
from the labor movement this man
who has been condemned by every
honest worker as a traitor and 3

On the theory that two contrasts
are better than one, the designer of
this dress has used white for the SIM

second cotrast of plaid in two colNrs,
blue and white, to tie up with the
blue tones of the dress. The effect is
the quintessence of chic, and follows
a trend that has the wholehearted in
dorsement of Paris.
This dress, though having all the
appearance of a two df not three)
piece dressy suit, is made in one. The
iabots. as well as both contrasts, are
cleverly included in the seam joinings
of the waist, with the happiest pos
sible results. In dresses of this type
the neckline is sure to be high and
the sleeves invariably cover the elbow
The interest in animated hemlineS
continues and is expressed here in
ripping flounce that is faScinatingly
feminine in appearance and practical
at the same time, since it provides
freedom enough for grace in walking.
