The Boro Hall Unemployed Coun- cil has called an open-air meeting for Wednesday, June 24, at 8 p.m. to arouse the neighborhood to the imminence of the eviction of Mrs. Frazie and her eight children, Mrs. Frazie has lived a hand-to- mouth existence, getting a little po- lice charity, but forced to see her children succumbing to slow sterva- tion.

NEW YORK.—Eight hundred tail- ors and cutters met yesterday at Ir- ving Plaza at noon to mobilize to turn the Hillman Co. unionized | strike into a real strike, rooted in the shops and based upon clear-cut | demands, to improve the conditions | of the workers. Rank and file cutters and tailors, one after another, arose and ex-| posed the treacherous policies and | hetrayals of the Amalgamated Cloth- | ing Workers’ misleaders. Expres- sions of the need for the organiza- | tion of a real struggle, under the control and leadership of the work- ers themselves, were pronounced A committee of 40 was elected to organize the tailors for the comins strike. In a resolution unanimously adopted by a rising vote, the condi- | tions of the men’s clothing workers is fully described. Telling of the need for struggle, are resolution says, in part: ‘The leaders of the Amalgamated who are pursuing a policy of peace | with the bosses at the expense of the | men’s clothing workers, are entifely| agreements for us. We demand that responsible for the misery and star-| 4 joint control committer of rank vation that the clothing workersare| ang file cutters and tailors be set now undergoing.

We demand a broad, general rank and file strike committee of cutters and tailors to head the strike. We de- mand that the rank and file com- mittee carries on the negotiations with the bosses.

A series of open air meetings have been ar- ranged for every noon hour in the various garment centers to bring to the attention of the needle trades workers the planned murder of the 9 Negro boys in Scottsboro, and to organize for mass participation of the needle trades workers in the demonstration. The industrial union has issued a call to all needle trades | workers to gather at 130th St. and Lenox Ave. at 3 p.m. A call has also been issued for the election of delegates to the anti-war conference which takes place on June 25.

New Zork Cp, cutters and tailors, unemployed for | months and undergoing starvation, can no longer exist without imme- diate real and adequate relief. Clothing workers in the whole in- dustry can no longer exist without the organization of a rea! struggle to improve our conditions, to create more jobs for the unemployed, to increase the wages and to stop the brutal speed-up in the shops that is sapping the blood and vitality of the men’s clothing workers. Stressing sharply the role of rank and liestrike committees intimately tled up with the workers, and the demands, the tailors are ready to wage serious and determined battle, for the resolution goes on to say: “We clothing workers, tailors and cutters assembled here in Irving Plaza Hail, fully endorse the figthing militant program put forth by the rank and file in order to improve our conditions. We demand a real strike and not a swindle. We de- mand that in teh coming strike the following demands be made to the bosses: “1, Introduction of the 40-hour week. “2. Re-introduction and extension of week work. “3. Guaranteed minimum wage scales for all workers in the indus- try. “4, Increase the Unemployment Insurance Fund to 5 per cent, ta be LT Only a struggle for the de- mands of the rank and file, led militantly by the rank and file, would solve the most pressing problems of the clothing workers. “In order to make the comin | strike real and effective in the in- terests of the workers, We unem- ployed clothing workers call upon | all workers in the industry to sup~ | port and join the rank and file move- ment that is now conducting the| struggle against wage-cuts, speed-up and unemployment.” To effectively organize for the coming strike and to further popus larize the demands for which thé strike is to be fought, a mass méet- ing of employed and unemployed workers will be held sométime next week, after work.

Cireulars were already distributed to the pupils of the ‘Theodore Reosevelt High School, Bronx and the Manual Train- ing High School, Brooklyn. But few students however, responded. } ‘The statement calls on the workers | and teachers to actively combat the | effort of the Tammany school au- thorities to mentally poison the young students: “The Communist Party calls upon | the workers and their children to veto the decision of the Board of| Regents and the Board of Education | by refusing to have the children at- | tend the bible courses. These courses, | whieh are being insugurated as & test, are but the beginning of com- prehensive system to further stupify | the children of the working class, to make of them profit-making wage | slaves and willing cannon fodder for the coming impetialist war egainst | the Soviet Union. We call-upon the teachers to line up with the working class and its ¢hildren in this struggle. | If the bosses succeed in these two schools, they will try to extend it| throughout the city. Therefore the) struggle must be taken up with all energy, so that when the schools open in September, the bosses will not dare to begin the religious courses. 1.
