Issues Statement NEW YORK.—The following is .a statement of the strike committee of the Robinhood Hat Co. which has been on strikes for a period of 14 weeks Fellow workers “Four months ‘ago the workers of the Robinhood Hat Co. were locked out because we refused to join the Amalgamated racketeer union. blockers remained scabbing in the shop under the pretext that they are members of the Amalgamated rack- eteer union. “The Needle Trades Workers In- dustrial Union of which we are mem- bers, declared a strike and put up a picket line. A week later Spector was forced to declare a strike in the operating department. The officials of Local 42 did’not even attempt to take down hte blockers. Fake Settlement After ten weeks of strike, the op- erators were informed on the picket line that the strike was ‘‘settled.” When the trimmers asked the oper- ators how they settled, their answer that they didn’t know anything about the settlement, they were merely told the strike was over. The next day | Local, 24 issued statement in the Wo- men’s’ Wear and other newspapers | that they made a “100 per cent set- slement.” “This is an example of the “100 per cent victory” that the company | union gets for the workers. The op- erators are still out of the shop and did not get a stich of work. The| seabs who were working during the | strike remained on the jobs doing op- erating and cutting. “While the trimmers of the Indus- trial Union were stil lon the picket line, Local 24 was sending their mem. bers to scab on us. After the so- called settlement made by Spector & Co. for the trimmers, those workers are working unlimited hours for $12] and $14 a week “We trimmers who have been on} trike for 14 weeks and are compelled | 0 call off the strike as a result of | the treacherous activities, appeal to} you millinery workers to join with us in a struggle against these sell-outs | of Local 24 and 42, United action of | ‘he workers in millinery trade is | imperative now when Zaritzky, Spec- tor, and the bosses, together with | Lt.

Leadership NEW YORK.—“As capitalism de- cays the reformist and reactionary trdae unions decay along with it, creating a virulent poison injuring the workers,” said William %. Foster, | speaking at the Workers School Fo- yum last Sunday before an audience of over 1,500 workers. The subject was the “Red Internation! of La- bor Unions.” “As the reformist unions decay, the rallying a great number of workers, leading the struggles against wage cuts and the impoverishment of the working- class.” Foster pointed out that the decay of the A. F. of L. should nto be in- | terpreted as its disappearance or its decline as a factor of betrayal. He declared that especially in the pre- sent period this organization through \its fascist leadership has been one of the most powerful fo-ces in putting over mass wage cuts. “In some cases, where the A. F. of L. does not exist.” Foster said, “the bosses bring it in, help it through |the check-off, in order to keep back revolutionary trade unionism.” He cited the examples of the United Mine Workers in Pennsylvania, where the coal operators used them to break the strike, and the check-off in the clothing industry. Foster traced the establishment and growth of the R.IL.U. in con- trast to the Amsterdam International, the International Federation of Trade Unions, which he showed was an instrument of the imperialists in carrying out their imperialist poli- cies, “It is only the R.I.L.U. which organizes the workers in colonial countries to struggle along with their brothers in the imperialist home- land.” Speaking of the united front, Yos- ter declared that the unions affili- ated to the R. I. L. U, in struggles formed united fronts from below, ém- bracing all workers, creating broad rank and file strike committees a- gainst the policies of the reactionary leaders of the veformist unions, and for the victory ef t!.e workers in their | struggles.
