NEEDLE WORKER JOBLESS RALLY Mass Meets, Forums, Fight Evictions

NEW YORK.-Open air meetings at four places in the dress and fur markets drew thousands of workers to hear the speeches of the Needle Trades Workers' Industrial Union speakers on the necessity of organizing jobless councils and fighting the injunctions.

The first regular meeting of the Dressmakers Unemployed Council which was organized last Tuesday will be held Monday at 2 p. m. at the Spartacus Hall, 301 West 29th St. The dress council will meet every Monday and Thursday at this hall and all dressmakers are urged to come and participate in the discussion and report on eviction cases so that the council may take action to prevent evictions and to put the furniture back when the landlords try to have it thrown out.

Dress Strike Forums.

Sunday there will be two open forums in neighborhoods where needle workers reside, on the question of unemployment and the dress strike as a means of fighting unemployment. One will take place in Bath Beach at the Bath Beach Workers Club, 48 Bay St. The speaker will be the chairman of the N. T. W. I. U. shop delegate council, Com. Goodman. The other will take place in the Bronx Workers' Club, 1472 Boston Road, at 11 a. m.

Tomorrow, all unemployed Needle Trades Workers are invited to attend the Winchefsky 75 year Jubilee being held in the Madison Square Garden. All unemployed workers will be admitted free of charge on presentation of their unemployed council membership book and will march into the hall in a body. All unemployed needle workers are asked to congregate in the outer central lobby of the Garden at 7 p. m.
