ARRAS TBE ao = ie BRIER MILITANT. DYE WORKERS ISSUE. NEW STATEMENT =: Criticise Mistake Made' by Progressives The action of six progressive mem-| vers of the Cleaners and Dyers Union} ahd signed a statement under threats | of loss of their livelihood from the | { Jewish Daily Forward, after they had seen expelled from the union, is’ éri- licised_in a.statement issued by. the progressive group of the organiza- tion, The statement claims that the|§ action taken tends to strengthen the reactionary leadership of the organ- zation, The statement reads in part as follows: “We wish to point out the follow- ing to the honest but mistaken work- ors, Who, have heroically fought the corrupt’ Efrad’ machine in our union and who have voiced the sentiments of the majority of the rank and file against the treachery and open sell- ing out of the interests of the work- rs to the bosses. “The first paragraph of the letter velating to the history of the frame- ap and expulsion of the six workers |<‘ is substantially correct. However, that which follows is a clear expres- sion of a lack of fighting policy and gives the impression of appealing to the “good graces” of the bureaucrats. Only thru a fighting policy can we rid our union of the bosses’ agents, who are destroying our union. “We wish to further point out to the expelled members that that part of the letter in the Forward which speaks of only one “ism” is incor- rect and tends to mislead the workers into the lack of appreciation of the need for independent political action | on the part of the ‘workers. All work- ets who have participated m strikes | and other working’ class activities | p. aave learned thru the clubbing, jail- | ing and injunctions that the bosses, who use their political weapon, the capitalist state machinery, are at a greater advantage in our struggle against them. The fundamental ne- cessity of the workers is not to scab wpon themselves politically and that in our struggle with the bosses a mighty weapon in the aid of our struggles is the use of the polities power of the workers. “We also wish to point out the grave error in the letter of the ex- pelled workers of our union when thef say, ‘we all understand what inner struggles in a union mean. The fate of the needle industry is before our eyes.’ We wish to make clear to every worker that a struggle against the bosses’: agents and betrayers against the workers’ interests is a life necessity, otherwise our unions would be destroyed and our condi- tions would be reduced to that of slavery. A ruthless struggle for the extermination of the tools of the bosses with the unions is of prime necessity. “The refefence to the fate of the needle workers must~be made. clear, to the workers. The present condi- tion of the needle workers’ union is directly due to the strikebreaking tactics of the Sigman machine and the Forward. They are the same clique. as our’ Efrads, who have}: worked hand in hand with the bosses and have brazenly sold out Nd them, as do our own clique, “We trust in the honesty and workingelass integrity of the ex- pelled members that they will realize the trap which the Forward set for them and that only thru an uncom- promising struggle against all forms of, betrayal of the workers’ interests, the elimination of the Forward jand the Efrad clique is the ‘only solution for ridding of our union of the tools of the bosses and the building of a strong union which will fight for the interests of the workers.” “Both Old Parties Are Satisfactory”--Schwab)| » Regardless of whether a republican or’ democrat is elected president, Charles M. Schwab, steel magnate be- lieves that- business in the United} States will eontinue to prosper. He made the statement yesterday on his arrival. on the liner Berengaria from a business trip ‘from England. “I do not believe,” he stated, “that national elections any longer have any . effect on business here and regardless of the outcome this year, our in- dustrial and economic progress “hould not be impaired.” Quebec Workers Strike.
