Aid For Tannery Workers In Poland
Chicago's CIO tannery workers are swinging into action this week to feed and clothe their fellow tannery workers in Poland.
The decision to participate in the campaign was made at a meeting last week at North and Western Avenues, where an appeal for aid was made by two representatives of Polish Relief.
Eleanor Czajka, former WAC, described the struggle against reaction and anti-Semitism in Poland, and appealed to Chicago tannery workers to adopt one factory in Poland. The meeting, however, voted to help all the Polish tannery workers, and instructed the executive board to secure the cooperation of tannery locals in Cleveland, Detroit, Boston, Buffalo and other cities.
One feature of the convention will be a banquet in honor of James G. Patton, President of the National Farmers Union, to be attended by all delegates and many prominent guests on August 2.
