The conference appeals to working worhen in shops, factories and stores to meet and elect their delegates to this most important meeting, or if this cannot be done to come themselves with one other shop mate and take part in shaping the policies which will follow from this meeting. The Delegate Conference to or- ganize the unorganized will be held Thursday evennig, December 13th, at the Labor Temple, 14th St. and 2nd Ave. The New York Working Women’s Federation, initiating this discussion as a preliminary to the campaign in behalf of the many thousands of exploited women work- ers, does so with the full recogni- tion of the fact that New York is the state in the country employing the largest number of women work- ers. The reactionary labor misleaders of the American Federation of La- bor have pursued its policy in New York as elsewhere, excluding wo- men workers from organized trades d deliberately sidestepping the issue of organizing them.

Anyone fighting for | real progressive measures, whether a member of the Communist Party, a sympathizer or an honest trade unionist, will be given the same medicine by the Grand Lodge. The Grand Lodge has taught us that all those who are progressive must |hang together, or be hung sepa- rately. A campaign against cxpul- sions must be carried on; local lodges must protest against the ex- pulsion campaign; they must de- mand the right of every worker to belong to the trade union covering his industry, regardless of his po- litical convictions. The Grand Lodge has raised the issue sharply—their conservative program against the progressive program. This struggle will go on, | antil one side wins, and historical forees are on the side of the pro- gressives.
