But the UTW fakers rushed to stop the Allentown strike before the Paterson Mr. McMahon, |chief of the NTW strike breal erew, together with Mr. Pinchot, the {governor of Pennsylvania, whose hands are red with the blood of the miners striking against starvation, carfied thru one of the most shame- ful strike breaking acts. They ordered the workers to go back and individually negotiate with the bosses. In Philadelphia. the U. T.W. officials forced a cut of 25 per cent upon the hosiery workers, pro- | vided scabs, and broke up a@ strike, | of the Upholstery Weavers because | they refused a cut. Danville, Va..!

When the Harlem Unemployed Council found the Marshall family of 2414 8th Avenue starving they im- mediately gathered food for. the fa- mily. Mrs. Marshall whose husband is unemployed and whose six children are starving was refused relief by the Social Service at 105 East..22nd St. When the Unemployed Council came the children were crying from hun- ger. The Council organized a meet- ing to rally the workers on this case. Mrs. Marshall told of her children to the workers and a collection was made among the man ysympathizers present. The Council is rallying all of the starving families on West 144th Street to present a united demand for relief. i ’ \Organize Two LSNR DAILY’ WEEK AT | Groups at Sunday’s .Pienic at Wocolona CAMP WOCOLONA.—Many of the campers together with a large num- ber of Negro workers from outlying | towns like Washingtonville, Goshen and Monroe, attended the picnic he:d here Sunday by the League of Struggle for Negro Rights.

R. groups, one for Monroe, and an- other for Goshen. ‘The spirit of the workers was high and all pledged support for Liberator week, which occurs here July 20 to 27, and for which an excellent pro- | gram has been arranged.

Arrange immediately a mass meeting with a miner speaking, and we will issue a leaflet for your meet- ing. At this meeting take up the questions of relief. 3. The collection of funds and food is the mést important item in this strike; and therefore you should ask for volunteers at this mass meet- ing to go out at least one a week im your section to convass house to house, and store to store, to collect food and funds. 4, Notify the relief committee what date you have assigned for your section and a truck will accompany your committee. If you are in & position to have a large committee in your section, you should divide it into the folowing sub-committees: a) A committee to visit A. F. of h. locals. b) A group of women to collect food from the grocers. c) A committee to. make. house to house collections. #. You should open a relief food station in your section, where all the food collected should be concentrat- ed. Have a sign of the P. & O. Relief Committee at the station. This station should always be kept open, with a comrade in charge, so when the workers bring the food, they should not be disappointed. A leaflet should be issued by your sec- tion and widely distributed in order to advertise your section relief head~- quarters. Make up pledge cards for your sec~ tion and ask for weekly pledges in food or money for the duration of the strike. 6. Canvas all organizations in your section and ask them to affiliate with the P. & O. Relief Committee. They should put a tax on their mem- bership for the strikers, and to elect @ relief director to be represented in your section relief committee, Vi- sit every hall in your section and get the names and dates of organi- zations meeting there. Report this to city office and we will arrange to cover all meetings. 7. Mobilize your section for the Tag Day which takes place July 25, 2¢. 8. Organize small banquets, pack- age and tea parties, outings, etc. Unity Council Tells How Mayor NEW YORK.—The labor fakers of this ejty have organized 2 plot with the manufacturers and the corrupt ‘Tammany machines, headed by May~ or Walker, to sell out and break strikes. Sidney Hillman, President of the Amalgamated Clothing Work- ers, knows that the conditions in the men’s clothing industry are rot~ ten, and that with his help, the man- ufacturers have made them far worse in the last year. He knows that the workers in the industry are in revolt against his machine and the coun- ter-machine of Orlofsky and Becker- man, and are mobilizing to fight both against the bosses and against their labor lie Hillman, Schlossberg, onotsky Wa Becker- man. Hillman, the Soeialist, went to city hall, called upon the head of the grafters, Mayor Walker, and promised Walker, Mulrooney and the bosses that there would be no general strike against the conditions that are forced upon the workérs—provyided Walker and Mulrooney help him in the fight against the Left Wing. Not to be bested in this struggle for control of the workeys, and know- ing that the fur workers are turn- ing against the gangster methods of the International Fur Workers Un- ion of the A. F. of L., Morris Kauf- man also appealed to Mayor Walker urday, Aug. 29. Additional! cities will be covered by other speakers N.J, State Election Campaign Committee of C. P va and the police. Thereupon, the Retail Dairy, Groe- ery, Fruit and Vegetable Clerks Un- ion, of the A..F. of L,, a seabbing Walker Unites Wit Hillman, Kaufman ,Ete Seek to Beat Back Mass Struggle in a similar demand against the workers who are fighting against the miserable conditions, hours and wages in the shops. ‘These workers are led by the Food Workers Industrial Un- ion, which is putting up a militant fight against the bosses, their police, and injunctions. Walker, Mulrooney, the A. ¥ @f L, officials and the bos- ses united in an effort to keep the workers from fighting, in an effort to break the strikes. The Trade Union Unity Council, of which these revolutionary unions are a part, declares that all efforts of the bosses, the socialist party, the labor fakers, and traitors, the graft- ing Tammany machine, gangsters, gunmen and the police, will not keep the workers from carrying on the fight against the rotten conditions in the shops. They will not keep them from organizing under the fighting leadership with fighting police against the bosses, the Hillmans, Orlofskys, Beckermans, Kaufmans, socialist traitors, A. F. of L. fakers, the police, gangsters and court injunctions. The Trade Union Unity League will carry on @ campaign to expose the entire brood of strike-brekers, betrayers and traitors to the working claes. The Trade Union Unity League outfit, went to the Mayor, and put and its revolutionary unions will h Misleaders mobilize the workers for struggle not only’ against the bosses, thelr injunc- tions and police; but agatist their agents in the ranks of the working class, the Socialist and A. FP. of L, Labor fakers. A statement issued by the Trade Union Unity Councth of Grester New York, 16 West 21st Street, says: “These attecks on the Reds are not new. Whalen, Diamgaroff, Mat- thew Woll, Fish have done their hardest to rouse the antagonism of the American workers to the revo- lutionary unions. The strike of the ininers, textile, needle and food work- ers is the answer. The workers of the United States know where the “labor racketeers” are: In the ranks of the officialdom of the American Federation of Labor and the Amal- gamated Clothing Workers, They know that Brindell, Brandle, Mur- ‘phy, who worked hand in hand with the bosses and the underworld, pro- tected by the police, stand exposed to the entire working class as racket- eers. Hillman, Orlofsky, Kaufman and the rest of them have stepped into the shoes of these racketeers, and the workers will fight them as agents of the bosses. They will con- duct their struggle against the bos- ses’ starvation program which these labor fakers try to cram down the throats of the workers with the aid of the Tammany mayor and police. “The organization of the workers into the revolutionary unions will not be stopped.” —Let’s Set It Right!— Manik 1S Beeb rete, 1 », WAN Ago 08 fom PROBIT: Nort fot, DISTRICT 2 GIVES DIRECTIVES FOR MINERS’ RELIEF CAMPAIGN 9. Form a milk fund committee and have children in your section collect 5 and 10 Cents for the chil- dren of the miners. 10. Every affair should be visited and colle¢tions made for the miners. Also—bathing beaches, swimming pools, ets. 11. Socialist competition should be arranged in each section. A bull- etin of the accomplishments of your section should be issued every week. In organizing your section relief committee, you must bear in mind that the working class of the U. S. is in need of a permanent relief committee, and therefore a strong ‘W. I. R. should be the outcome of these provisional committees. One comrade should be assigned to have application cards to sign up the mem- bers of the relief committee to the W. 1. R. 12. Tag Day—the section who will produce most of the funds will have @ Celegation of 2 to the mining fields, and the comrade who will be the best in your section will also be ad- ded to the group. 43.
