New York, July 3l.-The lat kick
went cut Of tAs PaGssso., n. J. strike
yesterday, vAsn tAs handful left Of The
original S6 900 striking silk Mill work
ers, refused Psrnissisa by the astAssi-
ties Of Hsiedon to hold . fiaal protest
meeting in tie iittls borough On the
outskirts Of Paterses, decided T. 20
quietly hack to work - fast - the
mills can make pAcos for them.
The strikers are returning 70 the
wages asd the conditions they left on
February 25. They have loss in wages
Of s5,6OO,OOO to struggle against, thu
city Of Paterson is out $4,000 spent
for extra police protection, the manu-
facturers estimate their loss at tl,OOO,-
600, and admit it may take years for
the silk city to entirely regain its pres.
tige rs a manufacturing center. Hun
dreds of merchants, doctors, lawyers,
bankers and small capitalists who have
faced extinction during the bitter in
dustrial war, when 80 per cent of the
working population was not earning .
dollar, are brsvely trying to recoup
their lssses.
The police are thankfully resting
after having made 2,s37 arrests, law.

least, shows scarcely . visible eject Of
the warfare.
Froa the beginning Of the strike five
months ago the leaders of the Indus
trial Workers Of the World were in
charge, but they deny that they ever
consented to the nill employees return
ing to work. Said Carlos Tresca to .
World reporter:
There were two committees, an ex-
ecutive committee Of the i. w. W. and
. strike committee, many members of
which did not belong to our organiza-
tion. 1t was the strike committee that
voted for the workers to settle with in
dividual shops and thus broke the
strike. 1t was not done with the con-
sent or sanction of the 1. w. w."
Elizabeth Gurley Flynn explained the
failure of the strike this way:
"When the workers saw the hun
dreds who were pouring back to work
beginning to be we'll fed and decently
clothed, we couldn't hold them anv
longer. They would stick together only
As long Is they were all hungry"
The l. W. W. leaders are now going
to fade quietly out Of Paterson. Big
Bill Haywood, chief Of the 1. w. W.,
who is reported as Every Sick" is 60
ing west "for = long rest.'' Miss
Flynn will soon start west ON an ex-
tended money raising campaign"
Tresca il tired out and is going back
to Pennsylvania to run his little nsws-
paper for = while, 5" and Patrick Qvin-
la. is ve.taring into politics while cat
of Jail.
