RAISE FUND TO
DEFEND JAILED
N. J. STRIKERS
|. L. D. and Liberties
Union Act Quickly
Especial to The Daily worker)

PASSAIC, N. j., No pa joint
committee for the defense of Passaic
strike prisoners, organized by the In
ternational Labor Defense and the
American Civil Liberties Union, is
starting national campaign to raise
money to defend the strikers in the
prejudiced courts of the textile dis
tricts.
Elizabeth Gurley Flynn who starts
this week on tour of the country for
the International Labor Defense will
make the cause of the Passaic strik-
ers one of her principal appeals.
Legal Defense.
The. joint committee for Passaic
Defense, as established by the 1. L. D.
and the Civil Liberties Union will
handle the legal defense of the ele-
ven men who have been held in the
Bergen county and Passaic county
iails since September on alleged
bombing charges as well as the minor
arrests that occur daily, and the
eighty or more cases now on appeal.
The union has not yet been able to
obtain the release of the eleven men
who have been in Jail for two months,
because they are under such exorbi-
tant bail it has not been possible to
raise 1t. At present it stands at $780,
600. reduced several weeks ago from
$455, 900.
Since this fund was started just a
few days ago, a thousand dollars has
been raised by the strikers right in
the Passaic district Contribution
lists are being turned in at union
headquarters in a steady stream,
showing how strong sympathy for the
strikers still is even after ten months
OF strike and repeated appeals for
money.

GIRL TELLS UNVARNIShED TALETO
SHOW WHY GIRLS STRIKE; NOT ONLY
FOR WAGES, BUT TO SAVE WOMANHOOD

ton, their hands chapped and cracked
from constant contact with the glue,
the smell of which pervades the en-
tire shop; but, added to all this, many
of the bosses make indecent advanc-
es to the young girls and when re-
pulsed, they proceed to make life as
miserable as possible for those girls
who have the spirit, decency, and self
respect to spurn them.
Too often from a false sense of
modesty, the girls hesitate to voice a
protest against these things, with
which everybody in touch with the
industry is familiar These are some
of the reasons why girls in the Taper
box shops go on strike. They have
nothing to lose and everything to
gain by revolving against these miser-
able, degrading, and intolerable con-
ditions. This struggle is for the A.
hour week and a minimum wage
scale, but it is also for the right of
working class girls to be treated with
proper degree of respect and con-
sideration.

NEW YORK, Nov. 22.-Thousands
OF paper box workers, three-quarters
OF whom are girls. are in the eighth
week of strike. The wages of these
young girls are very low, averaging
not more than $1,000 with hours
from 46 per week up In addition to
this the speed-up system prevails, so
that all day long the girls are worked
to the limit of their strength and en-
durance.
The absence of a wage scale works
to keep the wage level low, for each
time a girl changes jobs, she generally
does so at a loss of pay. This
strengthens the already too well-en-
trenched bosses, so that they do not
hesitate to use the vilest and most
vulgar language to the girls.
1t is not enough, apparently. that
their health must be sapped by over
work, bad ventilation, air laden with
dust particles from the cardboard
chips, tending to develop consump-

the old-time type of labor fakir to
consider. The officials, as in former
times could not be used by one boss
pit against another boss. The pres.
ent leaders can't be bent to the
bosses will. The union today hires
no gangsters to suppress opposition
in the union. Instead there is the
freest discussion of every act of the
union and of the strike. In this way
it is harder for the bosses to use tools
in the union effectively to make false
moves to defeat the strikes.
Defeat would bring employment a,
