PATTERSON, N. J., July 19.-To re-
trieve the failing fortunes of the In
dustrfal Workers of the World and
put new life into the waning silk
strike. big Bill" Haywood Is back
again in the fight today.
"Lost!" said the fighting head Of
the I. W. w. This strike
lost Why, It's all but won. We're
In the fight to win: we've been in
1t for six months and we're going
to stick to the bitter end.
Men have gone back to work, II
Is true. But they have gone back
to get funds to continue fighting.
"strike Isn't over.D
The strike isn't over and won't
be until we win."
The repudiating of the I. w. w bv
$500 weavers yesterday is what
brought Haywood back so quickly
into the fight after his retirement be-
cause OF i'll health. He and Ettor are
to lead the forces of the silk workers
hereafter.
According to the strike leaders
only few thousand dyers helpers
have returned to work. Chief of
Police Bimson, however, said to an
Evening Star reporter today that fully
10000 men have gone back.
He admitted, however. that very
few of the weavers had returned, but
he asserted that the dyers' helpers
and weavers' helpers were falling
over each other in their effort to get
back.
More want jobs than the manu-
facturers can use," he said.
This is borne out by the statements
of the manufacturers themselves.
The general manager of the Weld
mann Silk Dyeing Company, one of
the largest, If not the largest, concern
of its kind in the world, SAID today
that between 500 and 800 dyers are
back at work.
When running full blast" he add
ed. I'VE employ about 1,400 The
strike has been going on so long that
we have not been taking many orders
and that, added to the fact that this
Is the slow season in our line. explains
why we are not employing more than
we are. We can get all the men we
want"
| AT the plant of the Aronsohn Broth
ers, 1t is said that three-quarters OF
the workmen are back ana that the
rest have promised to report Monday
morning. Frank & Dugan have 200
working out of normal $50. Dohevt
& Wadsworth say they are employing
/ 6S of the 125 weavers."
Strike developments, despite the
supposed end of the labor war, arc
coming fast and thick.
Alexander Scott, a Socialist editor
of the weekly ISSUE" and champion
of the strikers, is in jail again on a
charge of criminal libel
He already has sentence of from
one to fifteen years hanging over his
head following his conviction before
Judge Klenert of hostility to gov
ernment."
Scott Again Arrested.
He was arrested at the corner OF
Market and Prince streets by Po-
liceman Love and taken before Jus
| tice of the Peace Charles Evans, who
held him in $1,000 bail. Love is the
complainant. He alleges that Scott,
In branding him in the Weekly Issue
! as drunkard and accusing him Of
having used violence on strikers. was
| guilty of criminal libel.
Another friend of the strikers
| Mayor William Brueckman, of Hale
don, too, was arrested. Deputy sher-
iffs from the O'Brien agency made
him and two of his special officers
prisoners on the picket line of the
Cedar Cliff mill, in Haledon last
night.
Justice of the Peace Keys dismissed
the charge of unlawful assemblage'
the detectives tried to prefer on tho
ground that the chief police officer
of the town could not be held on
such charge in his own town.
An attempt will be made by Hay
wood and his colleagues to rally the
dispirited strikers at mass-meeting
in Water street tonight.
