EQRWAR WHITEWASHES 28 STRIKEBREAKERS Calls Séabs.’ Mistreated Workers An attempt is being made by the Jewish Daily Forward to whitewash the 28 strikebreakers that came to Chicago to break the strike of Local 45, Fur Workers’ Union. | In an arti- cle by Morris Seskind, Chicago labor editor of the Forward, an attempt is made to make it appear that these strikebreakers were forced to scab be- cause the New York left wing had barred them from the union. The Forward calls these scabs “mis- treated” workers. This attempt of the Forward to whitewash profes- sional strikebreakers who came to Chicago to break the fur workers’ strike for better conditions and who were denied working cards by the New York union and were heavily fined for their strikebreaking activi- ties there shows to what extent the mentally bankrupt right wing leader- ship is willing to go in their des- perate attempt to discredit the fight- ing left wing leadership, ° The Chicago Fur Manufacturers’ Association, in its desperation to sup- ply the demands of the shops still on strike with strikebreakers to turn out the contracts that must be filled, im- ported 28 strikebreakers from New York.
