Mathew Woll is again appearing as a defender of a “clean” police depart- ment to split the heads of the work- |ers, as he did in the strikes of the | furriers, cloakmakers and dressmakers in 1926-27 and 28. In the 1926 strike of the fur work- ers, under the leadership of the left of crooks, defeated the conspiracy of - | Mathew Woll, the underworld and the bosses, and established the 40-hour week, minimum wage scales and won wage increases for the entire trade. As It Was Before Mathew Woll arc his gang in the needle trades sold out these condi- tions to the bosses and now they stand exposed and unmasked before the needle trades werkers. The needle trades workers are rallying to the banner of the Needle Trades Work- ers Industrial Union and are prepar- ing for decisive struggles in every branch of the needle industry, par- ularly in the coming dress strikes n New York and Philadelphia this Spring season. The unorganized too, are rallying to the call of the Needle Trades | Workers Industrial Union as exem- plifiea by the strike of 500 shirtmak- ers in New Haven and close to 1,000 fur hatters in Danbury, Conn. Mathew Woll and the entire A. F. of L., are trying to save themselves in the needle trades by framing charges and using provocative methods as they did before. The time Has already the workers can be fooled or misled by such schemes and tricks. The Needle Trades Workers Industrial public | preparations for the dress strike for the introduction of week work, the 7-hour 5-day week, and Unemploy- | ment Insurance in the ‘dress trade.

In a futile effort to deprive this Negro woman worker of the support | of the Unemployed Council, the land- lord, Joe Borish, visited headquarters of the Council Saturday to tell them that the woman's dead husband was a white man. He made it quite clear that in his estimation any Negro who violated the bosses’ edict against nter-marriage of Negro and white workers had committed “an awful crime,” In the case of Mildred Reed whose urniture was returned to the apart- ment last week after x.ged mother were evicted, and the tenants in the house organized against eviction, the landlord has raised all rents from $30 to $40 in an effort to| get out the militants.

Kresel, one of the directors and chief lawyer for the bank as well as being con- nected with the Tammany grafters, peddled the old lie that Broderick dropped long ago about the possibil- ity of the return of 100 cents on the dollar to all depositors. Proof has been published in the Daily Worker, and later in other capitalist papers, about the inside | robbery of the Bank of the U. S. amounting to over $50,000,000. Though Kresel was questioned for | three and a half hours by District | Attorney Crain, neither of these Tam- | many henchmen would tell the te- | positors one word of what transpired. | The fact is the evidence brought out | shows the bank was engaged in such a dirty swindling business that Crain | does not dare to tell the depositors | the truth.

The speakers at this meeting will be Harnilton Fish, Matthew Woll, Ed A. Walsh, with at- torney M. W. Littleton as chairman. It is obvious that the purpose of | this meeting is to gain support in | advance for the report that the Fish |Committee will submit to Congress | with proposed legislation against the | foreign-born workers, the revolution- j ary unions, the Communist Party and | | Communist press. Fish believes that he will be able} |to create sufficient sentiment to en-| able him and the U. S. Congress to put through any legislation they please without opposition or resis- tance from the workers. On Saturday, January 10, at St. | Nicholas Rink, at the celebration of the Seventh Anniversary of ‘the Daily Worker, the answer will be given to the Fish Committee and the “Com- mittee to Combat Communism,” by the thousands of revolutionary work- ers, supporters of the Communist Party and of the Daily Worker. This will be a meeting of the great- est significance and every revolution- ary worker must be present. Get | your tickets in advance. Bring along every worker from your shop and neighborhood.

The other two were the “Vida Obrera,” Communist Spanish paper, and the “Young Pioneer,” organ of the Young Pioneers. The attack against the “Young Worker” is seen as part of the general at- tack against the revolutionary work- ing-class. The bosses do not want the mouthpiece of the young workers to be heard in the factories, fields, mines, and schools. They plan to use this as a means of stopping its existence. All young workers are urged to attend this meeting and protest against the barring of the voice of the revolutionary youth from the mail. The chief speakers will be Max Bedacht representing the Central Committee of the Communist Party, and Si Green, editor of the “Young worker.” There will also be other speakers.
