The demand put for- | ward by the workers at their meet- ing is the reinstatement of the gen- eral chairman. A strike committee, chosen from among the workers in the shop, was also elected as the official body to decide any questions that may come up. The remarkable unanimous de- monstration of solidarity shown by the workers when they walked out of the factory augers well for a successful termination to the strike. A complete defeat was suffered by the factory owners when they tried to break the strike by insert-; ing advertisements for craftsmen to } taxe the strikers places. The ads | were answered by applicants, but not only did they refuse to work when they saw a strike in effect, but nearly all of them immediately went to sign up with the union. The Independent Shoe Workers Union of Greater New York was only recently established and is now about to launch a city-wide cam- paign to recruit members. Union Growing. This union, professing a policy of unswerving struggle against the employers for the improvement of working standards, is growing by leaps and bounds in influence as well as membership. A statement| issued by that organization requests | the publication of a warning to all) shoe workers to keep away from the strike-bound shop of Lieberman and Co. AID COMMUNISTS Hit Capitalist Parties On Statement Continued from Page One and the candidates and the party platforms and policies. . Vote for Your Class! “No working class woman should work for nor campaign for, or vote for candidates of the capitalist class. The democratic, republican, farm- er-Labor and the socialist parties all represent the capitalist class. The only difference between them is that they each represent a different group of the capitalist class. The republican and democratic parties represent the finance and banking interests of the country. The socialist parties and the farmer- labor party represent the smaller capitalists and the rich farmers Vote Communist! The Workers (Communist) Party is the only party representing the workers and working farmers of all races in the United States. The can- didates of this party are the only ones that should receive the full support of the working class women. All working women should read the platform of the Workers ‘Com- munist) Party, especially that part concerning the working women. The platform of the Workers Party makes the following demands 1. Prohibition of night work, over- time and job work 2. The law should provide for an allowance throughout the period of pregnancy and childbirth to the amount of full working wages. 8. The organization of working ‘women into trade unions. 4. Elimination of all restrictions and discriminations against women in trade unions. 5. Equal pay for equal work, etc. No working woman should at- tempt to remain neutral on political questions. The question of the very existence, the right to earn bread, is a political as well as an econom- fecal question and through political organization of the workers, the working class women together with working class men should demand and fight for political and econom- ical rights.

Counteract Capitalism. To counteract the heavily smeared lying propagania of the cap parties vezarding the era of pros- perity and the gereral brightness of the economic life of the American masses tons of working-class litera- ture are needed. Realizing this, the class-conscious workers of New York will today, tomorrow and Mon- day utilize their time in building up the Communist Campaign Fund. Thousands of dollars are needed, and can be raised with the help of the workers whose platform of class struggle is the election platform of the candidates of the Workers (Communist) Party.

Mother Bloor and Free. man Thompson were among the speakers. The National Miners Arrange- ments Committee instructed each district to hold organizational con- ferences in every sub-district to make final preparations for the elec- tion of delegates and affiliation. It also instructed John Watt to attend the’ Ohio conferences, Free- man Thompson the Indiana and Kentucky conferences and Anthony Minerich to go'to the anthracite tri- district conferences.
