STICK TO YOUR CoLoRs!
Manufacturers are Whipped !

The calling in Of the police force and author
tiles To aid the manufacturers 10 break the
strike Is evidence OF itself that the mill
owners fear defeat. In fact, the mill owners
were defeated the moment they took dUwn
their not ces and opened the mills In direct
contradiction 10 their own agreement. ,
The bluff of the manufacturers did not
WORK. The workers of Olneyville have taught
the would be slave-drivers n needed lesson;
but the lesson is not complete until we nave
shown them that common justice and rlght
will and can triumph over capitalist greed
and authoritative might.
We are in a stronger position than ever be-
fore, and we are nearer victory than most or
US imagine. One or two weeks more OF stay
ing away" from the mills, and inducing some
of our thoughtless brothers and sisters 10 come
out means whipping for Olneyville's greedy
magnates that they will not soon forget.
DO not believe these stories or assault upon
"scabs." They are exaggerated and magnl-
fed until they bear no resemblance whatever
TO the real truth. DO not think that one OF
YOU will be personal gamer by 'scaobing.
You will be loser; for by your action the
manufacturers are using you to keep down the
wages of yourself and every one else-even
as they may in the near future stlll further
knowing the exact oopdition of affairs we
can honestly say that everything looks bright
for success The very fact than manulac-
they are exerting every nerve To MI the mlIls
| and club the toilers to works. evidence that
| they sadly need our services that they may
| squeeze out more profits from our labor.
| The arresting of various members or the
| union on charges of which they are innocent
| also shows 10 what extremities the manutaGt-
| urers are driven in order TO break mp strike
| that may succeed.
| Let us remain firm in cur demand for a
| larger portion or the pronts 10 DC creaIeu Ny
Stick to your colors as you have SO far done
| and victory Is ours. .
| To US our families and the business interests
| uf Olneyville. and remember II the strike Is
foolishiy thrown away now ohax ,anca will
always bear us down 10 the uttermost ex'
| tremity.
10 throw away victory when II Is within our our
| grasp would be suicidal TO all our future hope'
| and welfare. WILLIAM j. WEIGH,
For the Committee.
