It was also decided by both organ- izations to hold a big affair with an excellent program for the benefit of the strikers and other political prisoners. The affair will take place Friday, March 27, 8 p, m., at the Park Palace, 110th Street and Fifth Avenue. Both organizations call on the workers of New York to help this affair be a success which is a good way to help the dressmakers’ strike. DR. J.
