At the huge mass meeting in Man- 84th St. and Eighth Ave., Wednesday evening, the dressmakers will give the final word, the signal for the general strike which the new Needle Trades Workers’ Industrial Union is to lead. The meeting will begin immediately after work. The intensive preparations for the ealling of the strike are about over. For the past few weeks the union has been constructing the machin- ery that will lead and carry the strike through to a successful conclu- | sion. At this meeting workers who are to go on strike will demonstrate their determination to fight for union conditions in all union and non-union shops. The fear of the employers and their most valuable agents—the so- cialist officialdom of the company union—is indicated by reports in the employers press, where news stories discounting the response the work- ers will give to the strike call ap- pear regular But between the lines can be discerned panic at the impending walkout.
