A stinging attack upon Fascism as “the gravest menace facing the labor movement of the whole world” and a warm expression of solidarity with the Austrian Heimwehr-Dollfuss-Nazi reaction, are voiced in a resolution unanimously adopted by the Executive Board of Dressmakers Union Local 22, I. L. G .W. U.
“In the name of the 30,000 dressmakers of New York City organized in its ranks, Dressmakers Union Local 22, I. L. G. W. u.,” the resolution reads in part, “hails the glorious and self-sacrificing struggle of the Austrian working class in behalf of the rights of labor.”
The resolution calls upon the Joint Board of the Dressmakers Union to “order a half-hor stoppage of all workders in the dress trade in the name of soliarity with the Austrian labor movement battling for its life against the Fascist reaction.”
