MEDICAL EMPLOYEES MEET AND ORGANIZE NEW YORK.—The most exploited | strata of medical workers met Sat-| urday night at 13 W. 17th St. and listened to a brief outline of Trade Union Unity League aims presented by Nessin. The nurses pointed to the food poisoning of 30 nurses compelled to eat food prepared two days before for doctors, trustees and superin- tendents and to the segregation and | inferior social status of nurses, whether in dormitories or at dinner | tables in the various hospitals. The druggists told of their 12- hour day and split shift. The optical and dental mechan- ies described their overtime with- out pay, speed-up and blacklist. The laboratory technicians and the slaves in the various pharmaceutical and chemical plants told of being doped by their bosses while manu- facturing dope for the workers, and the general prevailing unemploy- ment among them. The meeting was lively and pointed to the radicalization of workers who formerly lived on their professional glory while putting in 12 or more hours per day under a caste system of social inequality. L, A. DeSantes was elected secre- tary of the league, an executive com- mittee of seven was elected, also five delegates to the T. U. U. L. and a first aid committee for the T. U. U.

That it was not good enough for the Negro masses did not enter into the calculations of these bene- ficiaries and apoligists of capitalism. Resolutions were dutifully passed denouncing the rapid spread of com- munism among the Negro masses, but not a whisper was uttered in de- nunciation of the lynching terror of the bosses which has already taken 18 victims for the first part of 1930, Not a word was said against the appaling oppression of the Negro masses, not a syllable was dropped about mass unemployment and hun- ger forced upon the working class by the bosses Negro masses suffer most severely. and from which the Workers Yell “Yes” As Youth Calls to Aug. 1 NEW YORK—Over 250 workers and workers’ children attended an open air meeting called by the Young Pioneers of America at East Fifth St. and Brighton Beach Ave, When the Young Pioneer speaker asked if the workers present would attend the August First demonstra- tion, the crowd replied with a “Yes” that could be heard blocks away. Harry Blackman was chairman; Charles Cogan spoke on child labor; Charles Persily spoke on persecu- tions. N. J. LLD.

STRIKE IN NJ Arrest Three In Fight Against Wage-Cuts ELIZABETH, N. J., July 26— |Last Wednesday the workers of \the Besco Shirt Co. walked out on strike against a wage cut. The workers were making before the wage cut from $7 to $15 or $16 a week. The bosses bribed some workers to go back to work and help the bosses smash the trike, One department of Pressers with about 60 workers and about 45 Negro workers is completely shut down. The Needle Trades Industrial Union sent an organizer to the place. The organizer met with the workers and a shop committee was formed and a strike committee of 6 workers was elected. They decided to affiliate to the N.T.W.LU. The strike committee under the lead- ership of the Industrial Union is- sued a call to all the workers in the place to strike against the wage cut, to demand the reinstatement of all the workers working before the wage cut took place, against the dis- crimination of Negro workers and for the recognition of the shop com- mittee which is affiliated to the N,T.W.I.U. and join the strike. “For All Kinds of Insurance” ([ARL BRODSKY ‘Velephone.
