GLOVERSVILLE BOSSES CALL FOR STATE COPS IN STRIKE
GLOVERSVILLE, N. Y., Nov. 12.--The employers here are preparing to call state troopers against the 2,000 Gloversville leather strikers. The strikers called on Solomon, militant leader of the Needle Workers' Industrial Union to lead the struggle. Solomon exposed the bosses "red scare," declaring that the Communist Party fights for the workers, being the most militant in the leadership of their struggles, while all other parties are for the bosses and bankers. He pointed out that the Communist Party in the Soviet Union led the workers to victory against capitalism. He declared that there was no unemployment in the Soviet Union. The strikers cheered this reply to the bosses "red scare" cry. Solomon also exposed the indictment against leaders of the Needle Trades Workers' Industrial Union as a red scare to lower the workers' living standard, and called on the workers to struggle for their rights.
