They laid down two conditions for their brand of unity. These are that the NTW state publicly concrete proposals for un- | ity and that the NTWU stop their| campaign of “willification” of the} AFL leaders. The NTWU has stated} its proposals for unity over and over again. This part of the AFL de- mand is sheer hypocrisy as every striker knows. The NTWU will not under any cir- umstances cease its exposure of the reacherous role of the AFL leaders nd the maneuvers for breaking the rike. It is this exposure that the AFL leadership calls “vilification.” It | only by a continuous exposure of ne strike breaking role of the AFL saders that the NTWU can prevent | ne strikers from being sold out.

J.—At a confer- ence of working class youth organi- zations and shops, held Friday night, August 28th, at 208 Paterson St., in| | the International | | preparation for Youth Day Demonstration on Tues- day, September 6th, the significance of International* Youth Day was thoroughly discussed. It was pointed out that on this day, the young workers in all the capitalist coun- tries of the world wil Icome out in mighty demonstrations to protest against the miserable conditions they are forced to live under and against the preparations for the coming im- perialist war. A young striker from one of the textile shops said: “It is necessary for us especially, here in Paterson, with thousands of workers out on strike, among whom there are hun- dreds of young workers to come out and demonstrate our determination to bring this strike to a successful conclusion. under the leadership of the National Textile Workers Union. —as well as against the coming im- perialist war.” It was decided at this conference to hold the demonstration on the private Jot on Mill and Grand Sts. on Tuesday, September 8th, at 7 p. m. where a meeting with prominent speakers will be held for about an hour and a half. From there, the workers will march in parade forma- tion to Turn Hall for a short meet- ing followed by entertainment and | dancing. At the conclusion of the Confer- ence, an Executive Committee was elected, representing the various or- ganizations present, and activities for the week prior to the demon-| stration were outlined. including the visiting of other working class or- ganizations not represented, calling on their membership to join the demonstration and help financially and otherwise in the preparations for it. Two processions of automo- biles, bearing banners and placards, t| calling the workers of Paterson to join the demonstration, will be held during the next week. Judging by the response at this time, a huge demonstration is expected.

DRESSMAKERS TO MEET TOMORROW To Take Up Struggle in the Shops NEW YORK.—The rank and file committee of dressmakers elected for the purpose of initiating a united front movement for struggle to se- cure immediate improvements in the conditions of the dressmakers has met with great response among the workers. A call for the unity mass meeting to be held at Cooper Union, September 8, was issued for the mar- ket yesterday. In this call the rank and file committee calls on the dress- makers of the open shops, company union shops, organized and unorgan- ized workers, right wingers, left wing- ers, Negro and white, to come to the Cooper Union mass meeting to dis- cuss the problems confronting the dressmakers, to discuss how to fight for higher prices, for union condi-~ tions, and begin a mobilization of the workers for the expiration of the agreement so as to prevent the com- pany union from putting through an- other fake strike and fake agreement that has ruined the conditions of the | dressmakers. The rank and file committee de~ clares the Cooper Union meeting to be a historic mass meeting which will cement the unity amongst the workers. This mass meeting and the activities conducted by the united front committee was the topic of discussion among the dressmakers in the market today. A number of huge open air meet- ings were held where the united front policy initiated by this com- mittee under the leadership of the Industrial Union was discussed by | the workers from all angles. » While the united front movement is beginning to make headway among the dressmakers, the organization drive conducted by the Industrial Union is proceeding. — Au omrades Meet at BRONSTEIN’S Vegetarian Health Restaurant 558 Claremont Parkway, Bronx EDWIN CO. CIGAR MAKERS $ TRIKE IN THIRD WEEK Four Other Shops in Trade Won Strike for Better Pay NEW YORK.—More than fifty cigarmakers of the Edwin Cigar Co., 127th Street and Third Avenue, en- tering their third week of strike against low wages and bad condi- tions, successfully strengthened their picket line yesterday and spike the bosses lies about moving the shop out of town. ‘The strike, declared two weeks ago, is against the conditions prevailing in the trade. Cigarmakers, family people with dependents, average $9.50 a week working ten and eleven hours a day amid the worse possible sani- tary conditions. Recently the boss laid off those workers making as high as $12 and hired new ones for $9.00 thus seeking to cut wages of the entire shop. Other Shops Won Strike The Edwin cigarmakers, organized into the Tobacco Workers Industrial League, have the support of cigar- makers of the Blum DeLuxe, Galovin Cigar and two small cigar store shops where the workers also struck and won wage increases of from.$4 to $5 per week and better sanitary condi- tions under the leadership of the To- baeco Workers Industrial League, af- filiated to the Trade Union Unity League. ‘The Edwin cigarmakers call on all cigar workers to show solidarity with their strike, and to broaden the strike movement in the trade to win better conditions and wages. All in- quiries should be made at the offices of the Tobacco Workers Industrial League, at 110 West 116th Street, Spanish Workers Center.

Farmer Burns 75+ Acre Crop of Oats JOLIET, Ill, Sept. 1—After work- ing all spring and summer to plant a crop of 75-acres of oats, Edward Herbert, a farmer near here set fire to his field because it would “cost too much” to reap the crop. Her- bert figured he spent 40 cents a bushel for planting, and that it would east him 4 cents a bushel more for reaping. Since the highest price he can obtain is 11 cents a bushel, he decided to burn this food crop.
