The International Fur Workers’ Union opened headquarters at No. 3 East 27th St., New York, and issued a call to all members of the local unions recently suspended to register there preliminary to the setting up of new locals.
In the call, which is signed by Oisis Schachtman, as President of the International, and by Matthew Woll, Hugh Frayne and Edward L. McGrady, the American Federation of Labor Committee in charge of reorganizing the furriers, the Communist heads of the old locals are accused of favoritism in the distribution of work and of general misconduct.
Ben Gold, the Communist leader whom the International expelled last week, replied to the Schachtman call with an appeal for support and asked members of the old locals to pay promptly the $25 assessment recently levied.
