Their acts of splitting the ;wnion have encouraged all the enemies ;of the labor movement, who exploi every weakness of labor for their im- mediate advantages. By their.acts of collaboration and servility to these politicians of the old parties, they have only served to strengthen these enemies and weaken labor and the re- sult is more brutality ‘against labor, savage sentences for those who strug- gle in the interests of the trade union movement of this country. Treachery of The Forwards. The part played by the New York Forwards, the Jewish socialist organ, hus been one of a contemptible provo- eator.

The socidl- ist party by the attions of its leading |members, Hiliquit, Beckerman ,and it: | press, likewise bears responsibility for these brutal sentences. | The workers of the needle trades must know these betrayers for what they are—agents of the employers against organized labor. A broad de- ifense of all workers must be under- taken to free these workers. The workers in the shops must come | speedily to their defense. The Work- ers Party will do everything in its power for their freedom, DISTRICT EXECUTIVE COM., William Weinstone, Beereta duced dur'ng the campaign to $5.00 for those who were never members of the union and $10.00 for those who were members, ‘hit dronned out. —Strike shall be called in thos shops where we have a sufficient num her of workers in the union in order te make the shop a union shop. 10—The entire labor press shall be utilized to the fullest capacity for the camnaign. 11—The conduct of the campaign shall be in the hands of the organiz- ine committee. m 2—The organizing committee after the start of the campaign shall mee* at least once a week, but oftener if it is hevessary.
