THE DAILY WOR FURRIERS JOINT BOARD- WILL HOLD MEET FOR JOBLESS: 1 | | | Workers Scorn Charity) Offer of Bosses The serious unemployment crisis in the fur industry, intensified by the| union (wrecking activities of the American Federation of Labor bu- veaucrats and the employers’ asso- ciation, will be taken up at a mass/| membership meeting called by the Joint Board of the Furriers’ Unior. for tomorrow afternoon in Manhat‘an Lyceum, 66 E, 4th St., at 1 o'clock. Some very recent developments have brought the question of the severe unemployment in the trade tc the forefront of the attention of the workers. These are the open admis- sion of the- employers that about 8,000. of the 12,000 workers in the trade are completely unemployed, with many others working part time. Bosses Offer Charity. A storm of indignation greeted the recent cynical announcement ot! | the employers that they are willing | to offer charicy for the relief of the unemployed. The announcement de- clared that about $15,000 will be of- | fered by the “Charity Chest” of the} employers as loans to the workers. | True “First the employers eniered into} c a combination with the right wing! officialdom of the Internati¢nal unio to destroy the Joint Board, whose provection guarded”> us against un-| employment, and now they are ad-| A ding insult to injury by ofiering| charity,” the enraged workers in tne! fur market declared yesterday. | Ben Gold to Speak. The proposal of the employers, when made, provoked praise. from the capitalist press and from the American Federation of Labor offi- cialdom for their “big heartedness.” | ‘fhe hypocrisy of the employers’ “big hearted” proposal becomes imme«i-| ately apparent, it is pointed out, by! the facc that for the &,000 unemploy- | ed furriers admitted by the bosses, | $15,000 in “loans” is available. At the membership meeting to-| morrow,-the Joint Board will declare, its official attitude on this uestion and on remedies for the crisis as a whole. Ben Gold, manager of the Joint Board will address the meeting. The activities of the executive coun- be discussed by Gold.
