FEED The STRIKERS!
The Bosses Must Not starve the Strikers Into submsson

LOW many strikers get relief from
IL the relief committee? That is the
question most asked wherever you go.
The relief committee gave out moth
ing the first week. 1t figured that the
workers would be able to live one
week after working forty years for
the bosses and piling up many millions
for them. But the second week we
found many stranded. The third week
we began to give out tickets. In an
other week there were over hundred
who were in need. Every week added
more to the list. The sixth week we
had over 1900 families on the list.
Now at the beginning of the ninth
week we have over 1900.
1t requires more than $4,000 day
to barely feed these. Coal must be
secured for most OF them. Shoes and
clothing must also be furnished.
We have three grocery stores and
one clothing store. Many Of the mer.
chants are helping to supply these
stores with goods.
How do we get the money?
Ask Alfred wagenknecht. He is in
charge and is on the job with lists
and has committees in every meeting
he finds. Tag days in Passaic and
New York have helped much.
But the biggest help is coming from
the unions. They have acted prompt
ly and heroically. The Associated silk
Workers Of Paterson sent In its first
check Of $1,000 the second week. More
such checks have come since from
them. The Amalgamated Clothing
Workers Union has come along will

PASSAIC WORKERS
INCOME TAX REPORTS
REVEAL LOW WAGES

II is the law that corporations
have to send in to the federal gov
eminent the earnings of all its en-
ployes. It is thus easy to ascer-
tain the wages paid by the bosses
to the workers in the mills.
Here are a few samples. The
cards read:
This is to certify that No. 5oo1
chorba, Martha, has received the fol-
lowing payments while in our en-
pIoy during 1925: Wages, S41o.6s.
Then come some envelopes with
weekly rates Of wages: 81 hours
s2s.55; 4s hours, s14.5o; 4e hours,
$15.65; 4e hours, s1e; % hours.
$2o.65; and thus the list runs.
The girl that got s41o.65 was paid
at the rate of 1921 week and she
worked 49 hours a week. That is
less than 10 cents an hour.
She was cut 10 per cent and that
makes her earn another cent an
hour less. She wants a 10 per cent
increase which would mean little
over 20 cents an hour, and for the
year it would mean only Sal.
But the bosses think this is too
much and so they refuse to grant
this little increase. Is il not about
time that the workers got together
for real organization that will
give them power to get what the
bosses do not want to give without

police brutality and terrorism
which has characterized the
strike from the start.
The Strikers Are Undaunted.
The vicious violence of the police
has left the strikers undaunted and
more determined than ever. Club
bings of men and women pickets are
a daily occurrence, and the victims
Of the capitalist courts, which are un-
der the control Of the mill bosses, are
regularly handed down Jail sentences.
Enraged by the unflinching readiness
of the pickets to continue their work,
the police have attempted to squelch
them by turning the fire hose upon
the workers = men and women
drenching them with ice cold water
in winter. When this failed, the po-
lice tried tear gas bombs, but with
as little success, a wave of indigna-
ton and anger meeting this piece of
barbarism.
The strike developed out Of the last
wage cut-one of series-which was
handed down by the bloated manufac-
turers last October The meager
wages OF the workers were then re-
duced another ten per cent, leaving
most of them with wage that aver

Strikers Determined to Win.
The strikers are determined to win
their demands, and their brilliant
fight has aroused the sympathy of
workers turnout the country. Not
only among textile workers of other
centers, thousands of whom are on
the verge of striking also, but among
the workers in other industries the
spirit of solidarity for the Passaic
strikers is growing. A desire for
moral support has already been ex-
pressed by scores of labor unions and
other organizations. Financial sup
port is also pouring into strike head.

The utter misery of the conditions
Of the textile workers is in striking
contrast to the huge profits which are
being made annually out of their la
Dor by the textile corporations. While
the profits Of the companies are con-
stant1y expanding, the workers are
obliged to suffer not only under bad
wage and hour conditions, but also
thru the speed-up system, and the
very bad unsanitary conditions in the
industry, which takes an annual toll
