Industrial Rebellion

The textile barons of New Jersey
are again giving the world a demon
stration that barbarism is not yet of
the past and that wage earners are
still regarded by them as SO many
slaves.
At present Jersey justice seems to
consist of armed and mounted rough
necks in uniforms trampling children
under horses hoofs and smashing
heads. This gentle activity of the
Jersey cossacks is augmented by the
use of gas bombs and the wholesale
Arrest of pickets.
Workers Unorganized.
The strike was not of regular or
igin, for the workers involved are not
members of a regularly organized
trade union. The explanation of this
is that almost exclusively these men
and women are foreigners. who have
from their entrance into this country
settled in these mill communities to
slave at starvation wages. They are
a difficult group to awaken to the
need of unionization and the willy mill
operators have taken good care to
weed out the few independent think
ers by the extensive spy-system that
they are operating among the work
hers. Under these conditions only ex-
IRENE necessity and privation drives
them to common action on their own
behalf The successive wage cuts inn
posed upon them by the operators,
which materially reduced the wages
which ran from S12 to s25 a week
Part time work reduced these sums

assumed the leadership was A. Weis-
bord, known Communist. This fact
should not be used as blind nor lead
anyone to minsunderstand the real
points involved.
Bosses Blacklist System.
II was not the Communists who
established the spy system and the
blacklist in the mills. II was the tex
tile barons.
Weisbord did not institute the star
walton scale of wages that are being
paid. 1t was the mill owners.
II was not the BoIshevlks who pre-
vented the organizers of the trade
union movement from making peace
full appeal to the men and women to
unlonlze. II was the operators.
Botany Earnings.
II was not the orders Of Moscow
that the Botany mill and the Garfield
mill collected s2,229,55O in net earn
ings and surplus OF s1,7S1 ,29s, while
the workers who created this wealth
were denied living wage. II was a

passed from hand to hand and came
to the presidium olrthe stage. Upon
my inquiry, Reinstein explained to me
that this was one of the methods by
which the vast meeting actively par
ticipated in the proceedings. We
found out that this constant stream
of notes from the delegates contained
the widest variety luf material; sug-
gestions on procedure, questions about
points of the report proposals for
names Of speakers, reolution on va
riou subjects connected with the re-
port Of their shop problems. Literally

ium while we watched, and all were

But they are too courteous for that.
Then the orchestra played the Inter

applauded, not my speech, which they
hadn't had translated yet, but the idea
Of international proletarian solidarity.
IETHEN Reinstein had finished trans
w lating, which took about ten min
utes, and the business of the meeting
was resumed, the chairman called our
attention to a very interesting thing.
Within a few moments this gather
ing, intent upon its own immediate
problems, had reacted to the presence
of a worker from America, and up
from the floor of the hall had come
to the presidium half dozen propos-
ais for resolutions of greetings to the
workers of America and best wishes
for successful struggle against "our
own" capitalists. 1t gave we warm
feeling inside, and / hope / can com

ers ever collected in one spot. It
would not matter to them who led the
strike, they would use their subsid-
hed police, their bought-up pigmy
mayors, and cheap town officials to
beat and bully those who demand but
bread. Their god is profit.
The strike has now reached a point
where it is a national political issue,
with the nation aroused over the bru-
tally of the police and the callous-
ness of the mill interests.
Police Brutality.
1t is interesting to note however,
that important as are the issues in
volved that fact alone does not ex-
plain why it has received sufficient
publicity to even agitate congress.
The Jersey cossacks carried their bru-
tally bit too far and made the mis-
take of not only beating helpless work
ers but newspaper men and photog-
raphers as well. Having suffered the
beatings me+ed out to strikers so
often before, not to speak of the valu-
able cameras that were destroyed by
the police, the newspapers instantly
became the staunch champions Of the
downtrodden. The powerful press for
once was on the side Of right instead
of might.
Again it should be remembered
that condition exists in these mill
towns that cannot be readily under
stood by those who live in larger
communities. The entire population
practically works in the few mills and
depend for their livelihood upon
them
The New Jersey strike has uncov-
cred a nasty mess that should have
been cleaned up many years ago, and
now seems to give promise Of some
betterment.
The present strike has served to
call attention dramatically to the ap-
palling conditions existing in the tex
tile mills of New Jersey. II has dem
onstrated that the employers are
ready to use force. II has proven the
futllity of putting faith in the tariff
as an economic panacea. II has prov
ed that wage earners who are without
the rights OF citizens in community
are at a distinct disadvantage and that
political power is a big factor after
all. II has demonstrated that in the
long run even the most backward and
unenlightened viii revolt when op-
preston is carried too far.
UnIonIze Textile Industry.
What we are not at JAIL sure about
Is whether the present experience OF
the men and women involved will re-
suit in their remaining permanently
organized. Too often these sporadic
strikes are but flames OF moment
and II the same proves true this time
II will be a pity indeed, for most OF
the suffering will have bean I'M vain.
