SILK STRIKE FEARED
IN PATERSON MILLS

workers for Friday night. when Eliza

seph Ettor will speak. has aroused fear
that the I. w. W. leaders are organizing
another cltywide strike in the silk mills.
This fear is strengthened by the fact
that I. W. W. members have been cir
culating thousands OF handbills adver-
Using thousands OF handbills that "our
demands will be enforced by refusing to

ditions." Paterson's big silk strike In

1t became known to-day that the cir
culars are probably the first open move
of an I. W. W. campaign that has been
under way secretly here for about six
weeks. Agitators have been at work
among the silk mill workers, and this
afternoon they passed around the hand
bills in front Of the mills at closing time.
THE silk business Is now good the
circulars say. some mills are working
! night and day on wal orders. Many are
making silk Innings for uniforms. The
