Issue Manifesto.
A manifesto issued by the United
Front Committee of Passaic textile
strikers to the workers Of Lawrence
and Lowell has been received with
enthusiasm by the workers and they
will respond to its demands in case

The manifesto follows:
PROTEST
Police Terror, in Passaie
For three months we, $4,000 tex
tile workers of Passaic, N. j., have
been engaged in a life and death
struggle with the millionaire mill
owners. For three months we have
withstood the brutality, trickery and
terror Of the bosses. Our ranks are
just as strong as ever. Our mass
picket lines Of thousands of strikers
are as firm iron. Police clubs,
jails, spies, suckers, poison gas, jets
of cold water, and the whole under
world let loose upon us by the mill
barons, could not break our soli-
darity.
I'VE ARE DETERMINED TO
WIN. AND WE ARE CONFIDENT
THAT WE WILL WIN because our
cause is just-because we are fight
ing for our human rights: the right
to organize-the right of living
wage-the right to bring up our chill
dren decently.
Our fight, fellow-workers, is your
fight. We are in the front line of
the Textile Workers army. We are
batting against wage cuts-against
starvation wages-against the cruel,
inhuman conditions forced upon us
by the greedy mill owners.
"The textile barons have made
final attempt to break our strike.
The most savage brutality is used
against us. All our leaders are
jailed by the police of the bosses,
and are held under criminally ex-
cessive bail WE HAVE BEEN PUT
UNDER THE RIOT ACT. The thugs
and bosses hirelings in the police
department of Garfield and Passaic
have been let loose like a pack of
wolves TO kill and murder peaceful
strikers. Our halls have been closed.
Our strike Offices have been raided.
We are under martial law without
the troops, but with Sheriff Nimmo
and his thugs as dictators..
1.-THE bosses are desperate. This
is their last stand. They want to
force us back into the mills thru
violence and terror. VIII you stand
by in silence, fellow workers? IF
WE WIN YOU WIN. IF WE LOSE
THERE is NO HOPE FOR YOU.
STAND BY USl Let your voices
be heard in protest!
Demand the abolition of the state
Of riot in Passaic and the freedom of
our brave leaders,! Remeberi It is
us today. 1t may be you tomorrow.
Don't do any Passaic work. Stop
the bosses from doing scab work in
your mills.
I'VE MUST WIN. WE WILL
WIN. Our spirit is strong. Our
union is powerful. Our fight is the
fight Of the Textile Workers.
Hold Protest Meetingsl Show
your solidarity"
