Fascist Gathering. Yes, the workers should be told that Myron C. Taylor, chairman of |the Finance Committee of the U. 8. year | Steel Corp. was present at this grand dinner at the Astor along with Al Smith, who has come out for an open ‘fascist dictatorship to enable the Wall St. government to better carry through its hunger program. The revolutionary workers of New York who will go out in the streets aturday and Sunday to col- funds for the campaign and who go from house to house to collect funds will have a chance to bring the fighting program of the Commu- nist Party to the workers and to call Mr. Hoover's bluff also. Hoover's latest solution for the cri- sis is to tell the army of starving men, women and children in the richest country of the world to live on “courage, strength and resolu- tion.” Well, the workers can not eat | this! And the Communist Party will | lead the working class not only in|} this election struggle but every day of the year to fight for immediate jobless relief at the expense of the bosses and their government, and not to stand for the humbug of capitalist promises and fine speeches. Jokes on the Jobless. Reflecting the humbug and fakery of the national capitalist party lead- ership, it is interesting to see the methods which are being used in New York by teh Tammany County Com- mittee. They have just issued a call to those who have registered in the |3rd Assembly District to attend a meeting to hear the Tammany candi- |dates and to be entertained by a vaudeville performance. This is the | way the Tammany racketeers and | gangsters who have swindled the city |of millions of dollars in graft, instead of granting unemployment relief, view the election campaign. While the Tammany racketeers are putting |on this vaudeville show, they will also be able to get hold of the voting ma- chine and will demonstrate how to juse it at their meeting. The District Election Campaign | | Committee has made repeated at- | tempts to get the machine to demon- | strate its use to the workers of New York, but the Election Board turned it down flatly and so did the Vote |Machine Corporation, which does as | it is told to do by the Tammany | racketeers.

ADVENTUR )RES OF BILL WORKER DAILY WORKER, NEW_ YORK, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER A 1931 MATT EEZING IN ERE 2 To CELes TAILORS PREPARE SHOP STRUGGLES Mass Meetings Adopts Fighting Resolution NEW YORK.—Cheering the rally- ing call for struggle against the Hillman and Orlofsky cliques and the wage cutting campaign of the bosses in the men’s clothing industry, near- lly 350 tailors met Saturday, October 17, at noon at the Stuyvesant Casino, upon the call of the Amalgamated Rank and File Committee. Sol Hertz, Domenick Flaiani and Eusepi Oswaldo, organizers for the | Rank and File Committee, spoke at | the meeting. Ben Gold put in a late appearance. Scoring the complete abrogation of | democratic rights within the Amal- gamated Clothing Workers the as-} sembled tailors adopted a resolution | containing the following points of| action: 1. In the fight against wage cuts, the workers are called upon to organize shop groups, including workers of all political affiliation and religious beliefs which is to lead the workers into strike strug- gles against wage cuts, and for bet- terment of their conditions. 2. The unification of all work- ers in the shops and locals for a United Front for the fight against wage cuts, and for the protection of the interests of the workers. 3. The mobilization of the rank and file workers to force the Amal- gamated officialdom to pay unem- ployment fund to the starving un- employed men’s clothing workers, to be administered by a rank and file committee without any dis- criminations. 4. The mobilization of workers from the different locals to force the officialdom of the Amalgamated to hold regular local meetings with the right of the workers to express freely their opinions, and whereas this is impossible the workers them- selves to call local meetings. 5. To organize the workers for a fight against any taxes or assess- ment that is or may be imposed by the Hillman or Beckerman cliques. 6. To lay the basis in this strug- gle for the formation of a real fighting union of the men’s cloth- ing workers which will be binded with the rest of the workers in the needle trades industry in a struggle for the betterment of the condi- tions of the workers.

In a statement issued by the union whose policy has always been to will go.on with the strike. regardless of the injunction until the firm has been forced to reinstate all the work- ers and agree to the maintenance of union conditions. All active needle trades workers are called upon to come on the picket line and demonstrate their readiness | to fight against the strike breaking | injunctions. Seven pickets were ar- | rested here yesterday morning. A branch membership meeting of dressmakers living and working in the Bronx, will be held on Thurs- day, Oct. 22, 8 o'clock in the evening | at Ambassador Hall, 3875 Third Ave. BLOCKERS VOTE ‘DOWN AGREEMENT \Golden “Prepares to | Sell Out Workers | At the meeting of Local 42 of the | Hat, Cap and Millinery Workers’ In- | dustrial Union called Monday night, | the blockers voted, with only one |single exception, against sending millinery manufacturers for the pur- | poses of discussing a collective agree- ;ment. The militant blockers at the| |meeting completely exposed to the workers the treacherous role that Zaritsky, the president of the union, is playing by trying to force the | workers to accept a collective agree- |ment of the bosses, The blockers realize that the “sta- | bilization of the industry,” that the bosses and Zaritsky are fighting for, ;means wage cuts of the better paid j workers to the level of the lowest paid. The “abuses which have crept into the industry,” about which the | bosses shout and which Zaritsky is trying to remove for them, are the conditions which the workers in the shops have won through years of struggle and sacrifice. While Golden, the organizer of Local 42, did not dare oppose the sentiment of the entire membership at the meeting Monday night he pre- pared the way to sell out the block- |ers and force them to accept the col- |lective agreement in the future. In |his speech he stated that while the | blockers were opposed to the collec- tive agreement of Zaritsky and the bosses, they would have to accept it if the General Board of the union agreed to it and imposed it on them. Zaritsky and the leaders of Local 24 have carried out a scab attack on the trimmers of the Needle Trades Workers’ Industrial Union by sending scabs into shops where the trimmers | were on strike. The United Front ;Rank and File Committee calls on the workers to continue the fight against the collective agreement of Zaritsky and Co. The United Front Committee points out to the workers in Local 42 that the only way they can re-establish union conditions in the shops is by unity of all the work- ers in the shops under the leadership of a shop committee elected by them- selves.
