But behind the striking workers stand) the great class consci sections of the working cla: the militant left wing fighters in the unions led by the TUEL, the American section} of the Red Trade Union Interna- tional with which the Industrial Union of the Needle Trades is fra- ternally affiliated, the militant and revolutionary workers led by the} Workers (Communist) Party. This; united front of the enemies of labor will meet the solid wall of class conscious labor. With united ranks, with general whole-hearted support of class conscious workers the bat- tle of the dressmakers will be won.: Into the picket lines of the dress- makers will go all needle trades workers. Into the fight of the dressmakers will enter all left wing workers, The arrests will be met by huge demonstrations of protest. The injunctions will be met by mass violation. The betrayal of the bu- veaucrats, of the’ socialists, will be met by a determined fight that will expose thes¢ enemies of the work- ers, and defeat these treacherous re- formists. This is not the first time that such a united front has been formed. It was done in the gar- ment strikes of 1926 and 1927. Such united fronts of the enemies of the workers have helped to destroy the unions. But today the workers are on the offensive. They know their Fourth St. #2) ae Armenian Fraction Ball.
