PLAN FIGHT ON N. Y. INJUNCTION
Conference Calls to Support Fish Strike
NEW YORK.—Forty-six workers organizations were represented at the preliminary Anti-Injunction Conference held under the auspices of the Food Workers' Industrial Union, and the Trade Union Unity Council on Friday, Jan. 29th, at 5 East 19th St.
The delegates represented eleven T. U. U. L. unions, twenty-one branches of the Womens' Council, the I. L. D. twelve fraternal organizations and one cultural.
The delegates present were impressed by the necessity to help the Fish strikers morally and financially in the anti-injunction struggle, and even more so, by the importance of waking up the entire working class to the danger of the strike-breaking weapon. the injunction holds for the entire labor movement. The delegates realized that in order to be able to organize the workers in successful struggles against the bosses' wage cut and speed up campaign, we must defeat the injunction by first rallying the workers, in mass protest demonstrations and draw in all the workers in mass picketing.
The organizations present pledged various sums to start the campaign with, and elected an Anti-Injunction Committee consisting of one representative of each organization present, which will meet, together with the Food Workers and T.U.U.C. Anti-Injunction Committee, this coming Saturday, Feb. 6, at 3 p.m., at 5 E. 19th St., to work out a program for the calling of an enlarged conference of all workers' organizations without exceptions.
