at which the needy among the
strikers may secure the things neces-
sary to life Reports of bread riots in
the city. today. were discredited. but
the opinion was expressed on many
sides that if the strike should extend
into next week hunger may drive the
strikers to many things.
The appeal. which is addressed to
| the working men and women of
Massachusetts and elsewhere" reads
in part as follows:
Fellow workers:
W.. textile workers of Lawrence,
are on strike we are striking against
unbearabe conditions.
1T is not sufficient that our wages
were low, but the masters taking ad-
vantage of the 54-hour law that was
passed to reduce the admitted too long
working hours of women and children
have cut our pay to an average of 80
cents a week, which to us means the
loa YES of bread.
According to the figures furnished
By the other side, the manufacturers
paid out I'm wages on Jan. 10. for one
weeks work on the 54-hour basis to
total number of 25000 operatives the
sum of 100000. or an average of So
per week. and in making up the aver
age it must be considered that the
high weekly wages of the overseers
etc. of the mill figure in the total
wages paid.
For years the operators have grad
ually reduced our wages and at the
same time have speeded up the ma
chimes so that we turn out in some
cases three times the amount of work
and receive about one-third of the old
rate.
Taking advantage of the 54-hour
law. the employers have cut the wages
and are now making their war cry:
'Fifty-four hours pay for 54-hours
work but we submit to candid
world the fact that some of the mills
are stealing sufficient time around the
hours of starting and quitting each
day in the week TO make up the two
hours reduced
IF the cut in wages is allowed TO
stand. then the weavers and loom flX-
ers because of the insufhcientnesS oil
their wages and because of the lure
of the premium or bonus at the end OF
the week win speed up the looms and
weave 56-hours into "a; thus all the
other workers who are weekday
workers and who feed up the looms,
will have to work that much faster
to keep it up.
Because we dared to rebel. militia
men have been sent to drive us back
to work and already the bayonets of
hired Hessians have wetted in the
blood of cur fellow workers.
we must win this fight. Our lot is
beyond resignation. We must resist
now or all hopes in the future are
lost.
so VIC appeal 10 all the workers,
men, women and children, to support
this strike not merely morally, but fl
nancialJy. Remember that many of
our fellow workers have but one
weeks wages between themselves and
starvation.
Financial aid is needed and needed
quickly. He who gives quickly gives
doubly. We propose to establish a
commissary for the needy and we ask
for clothes, provisions and money.
Sincerely yours, for the cause of
$4,000 men, women and children.
Strike committee,
JOSEPH BEDARD, Secretary"

Iris very queer notion that has taken
possession of Colonel Roosevelt on the
negro question. At his convention in
Chicago this week he admitted many
colored men from the Northern States as
delegates and declared that they were
the equal of the whites. He refused to
admit colored delegates from the South
en States, however, rejecting them as
unworthy of place in the counsels OF
his new party. Here are his exact words,
as quoted in the daily papers:
1.-THE Northern negro delegates are the
peers of the whites, but the Southern
blacks are distinctly OF low order and
cannot be admitted to progressive con-
ventionS."
Acting on this declaration, the conven-
ton, without dissenting voice, approved
the report of the credentials committee
and barred every negro delegate from the
South who had contested seat.
This attitude of Col. Roosevelt, we
suspect, is not a matter of principle or
conviction-it is simply Shrewd politi-
cal trick to get more votes. He is cater
ing TO the white folks of the South, those
whose votes will be counted, rather than
to the colored masses who are diSquali-
fled in so many Southern States. What
a farce it is to designate the negroes Of
the South as black sheep and to embrace
those of the North as the peers OF the
whites
: The Colonel is getting mighty hard up
for argument-and votes.
