S. A. points out the ter- rible conditions of the women work- ards in the Soviet Union. The state- ment declares in part: “Working women, wives of work- ers and farm women, are awakening to their terrible conditions of life and work under the system of capitalism, under the rule of the bosses and bankers. Everywhere they are or- ganizing to resist the ever increas- ing attacks. This is shown in the heroic battles that the women ore putting up in struggles for immeditte relief for their children and them- selves, in the strike struggles in Detroit and other sections of the country, in the rent strikes, and in the struggles against sheriff sales on the farms.

Meat Cutters Union Fighting Boss Group and Gangsters Provocation Philips Signed With New Developing Union But Broke Agreements JEHOL CITY; NANKI | When I get home late at night I am NEW YORK CITY.—The Inde- pendent Meat Cutters Union has come to a terrific battle with a boss that tries with the help of the boss association and gangsters, to break this union, which has been existing for 3 months only. The reason for this attack is that they have seen that this new union has made certain | achievements in a short time. The bosses that had signed with the union, seeing that this union meant business, tried to maneuver some- | thing in order to break it up. The first attempt they made to break away some of the signed-up shops, was with the Philips concern, which has 9 shops with 23 workers. They started by locking out 3 of these | workers who belonged to the union. | The organizer saw Philips, but did) not succeed in straightening anything | out. Why? For the simple reason | that the bosses already at that time | had a certain group of stool pigeons} of the union was that it will fight | Smashing holes in the wall of ter- and spies in the union, especially from the Philips concern.

The fact that 2,000 workers (medical and maintenance) were hired was used as an example to prove that conditions were im- proving. No mention was made that more than half of these employes came from the five hospitals that com- bined to make this new institution, or that these workers had their wages cut 25% in the transfer from ‘one Job to the other. -About two months ago, a policy) of mass lay-offs was begun, which | recejved no mention jn the press. ‘The additional work was piled on| those still remaining, by longer hours. and terrible speed-up.

Until | about three months ago, due to the organization of the workers, we some~ how managed to eke out a half way decent wage, as the bosses did not | dare to cut as much as in other fac- tories.

N. Y.FUR WORKERS| PLEDGE HELP FOR NEWARK STRIKE Expose Bess Scheme} To Hide Seab Goods; Picketing At Plant N. J. NEWARK, March 5. rorism built by the police and bosses around the striking furriers of New- ark, Morris Langer, manager of the Fur Department of the Needle Trades Workers Industrial Union rallied the strikers of the J. Hollan- der plant for further struggle at the meeting of some 150 strikers held Saturday. “The brutal murder of our com- rade, Natale Ballero, will not drive us back into the Hollander plant,” Langer declared. “We will stick to-| gether until we win. Our New York comrades are showing their solidarity with us by refusing to work on the skins coming from the A. and J. Hollander and Singer plants.” Leave Off Stamp “I the effort to fool the N. Y. fur- riers, “Langer continued, “and get them to work on skins coming from his shop, he is purposely leaving off} the stamp showing where the skinsj * come from. The Union calls on all furriers to refuse to cut a single scab skin.” Wages in the J. Hollander plant, where the strike is now in progress, | are lower than in any other shop inj the fur dyeing and pressing industry. Workers get as low as six dollars for & seventy-two hour week. The bosses refuse to give them the most elementary protection from the poi- sionous dyes used. It is these conditions coupled with the militant leadership of the N. T. W. I. U. that have resulted in the organization of the 23 dye shops, employing over 1,100 workers, in the course of the last six weeks. Fol- lowing on years of betrayal by offi- cials of the A. F. of L, and the In- ternational Fur Workers Union, an entirely different picture is presented as a result of leadership by the mi- litant union. Win Conditions In six weeks of struggle under the N. T. W. I. U. leadership, wage in- creases of from $5 to $8 per week have been won, together with unem~- ployment insurance and the shorten- ing of working hours by six to ten per week. The same militant methods are being used in the Hollander strike with continued mass picketing of the plant. Fur workers in New York pledged support to the Hollander strikers in recent demonstration held at 29th Street in protest against the murder of Natale Ballero, one of the strikers. The strike-breaking activities of P. Lucchi, vice president of the In- ternational Fur Workers Union and his henchmen, was repudiated by members of the International Local No. 3. This action was taken follow- ing the appeal by a committee of three from the Industrial Union ask- ing the members of the local to sup- port the strike. Pay Tribute to Ballero Around 200 workers paid tribute to their fallen comrade, Natale Ballero, who was murdered by hired gang- sters of the boss. The workers ef- of police who attempted to disrupt the funeral, and heard speeches at the grave, delivered by strike leaders and a representative of the Com- munist Party.

MOSCOW, March 4 (By Radio- gram).—The Political Department an- nounced today that its organs had re- cently disclosed and liquidated coun- ter-revolutionary wrecking organiza- tions in certain organs of the Com- missariat of Agriculture and the Commissariat of State Farms. These counter-revolutionary organiza s had become more bold of late, with the rise of fascism in Germany and the increasing danger of armed in- tervention against the proletariat state. They were based chiefly in the agricultural districts of the Ukraine, Northern Caucasus and White Russia. The members of thesc - count ti revolutionary wrecking orga are chiefly state emp! eS, ly of mo: bourgeois and landowner origin.

Tang and his officers offered no resist- although the city is well de- ded by strong fortifications and artillery. Betrayed to Death Thousands of Chinese troops were betrayed to their death, and Jehol Pro’ over se and its population turned the iron heel of Japanese im- perialism by the base betrayal of the defense by the Kuomintang mili- tarists, who on Saturday nigh opened a sector of the defense line around Jehol City to permit the unhindered advance of the Japanese invaders on the capital. Chinése rank and file soldiers, utterly sur- prised by the unexpected appearance of the Japanese in their rear, were ruthlessly slaughtered by Japanese machine gun and artillery fire. The first defense lines of the Chi- regular troops were also be- doa few days ago by similar hery when the Linguan sector s thrown wide open to the Japan- invaders, facilitating their ad- vance on Jehol City. This latest betrayal of the Chinese people by the Nanking Kuomintang Government is so flagrant that even the imperialist press admits it, a nese | special Peiping dispatch to the New York Times declaring through treachery The Nanking Government is supported by the Wall Street bandits and the League of Nations as a counter-revolutionary force against the revolutionary up- surge of the Soviet movement in China, The same Nanking Govern- ment which consistently helps the imperialist bandits in their looting and partition of China has over one million men under arms in Centra! and South Chi in its fifth “Communist Suppression” campaign against the growing Chinese Soviet districts. None of these troops were sent to the defense of Jehol Provinee. Danger of U.

S. Far | Eastern policy. Japan defied the de- mands of its U. 8. rivals, and with- drew its delegates from the League conference. This was followed with | @ terrific sharpening of the anta- gonisms between the two imperialist rivals for the mastery of the Pacific and control over China.
