"Organized employers and their

failed to disrupt and destroy the
trade union movement" says Editor

The little progress made in the
establishment Of the anti-union shop

Twenty-EIghth Week Finds
Workers Standing Pat. ~

Manchester, N. H., Aug. IL
While the rail and mine strikes have
been in the public eye because of
their direct effect on society, textile
workers remind trade unionists and
sympathizers that tenssof thousands
Of men, women, boys and girls are
in the twenty-seventh week Of their
fight against 20 per cent wage re-
duction. In Massachusetts the ques-
ton of hours does not enter the fight
because of a 4S-hour law for women
and minors. In New Hampshire and
Rhode Island the mill barons are at
tempting to lengthen the hours of
labor from 48 to 81 per week. The
strike is being directed by the United
Textile Workers of America, affiliat-
ed with the A. F. Of L.
In urging financial support for
this resistance to serfdom, the United
Textile Workers show. that in this
city there are 1850 workers on
strike. There are 5000 out in Law
renee, Mass; 5000 out in Pawtauc-
ket. R. l.: 5000 out in Providence,
r. T.; 5000 out in Lowell, Mass. ::
1900 out in Nashua, N. H., and
thousands out in other mill towns
in the three states.
Where strikers have been evicted
the United Textile Workers have
supplied tents.
The courts have responded to the
appeal Of the mill barons and nu-
merous injunctions have been issued
against the workers. The prize writ
was issued by Judge Sawyer Of Ma
shua, N. H.. the latter part of last
May. and it is not to be returna BILE
until October.

Byrd, Of the American Legion

place of boxes which were form
crly sent, and he told them that
$500 would be sufficient to de-
fray the expenses Of these enter
tainments for those disabled men.
That amount was raised and sent
in with results as shown by the
above letter.
An effort will be/made to pro-
vide two or three, parties year

ex-soldiers, who sacrificed their
health and activity in the service
Of their country. Any one wish
