PICKETS March
THRU Clifton.
Pull new Mill
400 ForStmGn-HufmGn
Workers Join Strike
BY J. o. BENTALL
Worker Correspondentl


PASSAIc, N. j., Feb. 12-Four
hundred new recruits joined the 10000
strikers that have been out for over
two weeks in Passaic, Clifton and
Garfield textile mills. These came
from the Forstmann & Huffman mill
that the bosses had tried so hard to
protect from the striking pickets and
the influence of the United Front
Committee that is in charge of the
strike and organizing the workers in
the industry with demands for a living
wage and decent conditions in the
shops where they work.
The four hundred walked to Neu-
bauers' Hall where the Botany work
ers meet every afternoon and their
coming was the signal for a great
demonstration and much rejoicing.
The hall was already well filled, but
the new arrival wedged their way
thru the middle of the crowd and were
cheered as they were called to the
front and crowded onto the platform,
the whole mass singing, Hold the fort
for we are coming, working men be
strong"
Protest Police Attacks.
The walkout from the Forstmann
and Huffman mill came as a result of
the brutal attacks by the police in try,
ing to keep the pickets from crossing
the bridge into Clifton. 1t so stirred
the workers in the lTorstmann and
Huffman mill that after looking into
the whole matter they decided to-
make beginning and go out in pro-
test. 1t is expected that the whole
mill will be tied up in day or two
when a picket line of two or three
thousand will call on the workers to
join the strike.
The bosses have changed their tac-'
tics and told the police not to modest
the pickets. The pummeling and beat
ing Tuesday was too much for the
workers in the strikebound towns and
they have raised their voices in a
mighty protest against such inhuman
actions.

meeting with the most vigorous resist

These bills are aimed at those foreign

industries of this country and who are
the most active in the fighting for bet
ter living conditions.
Councils for the protection of the
foreign-born workers have been form
ed in New York City, Western Penn

in Chicago, Boston, Philadelphia,
Cleveland and other great centers of
the country. Everywhere organized
workers are beginning to see the need
of uniting all of the workers in these
councils to combat the anti-labor
legislation that is now before con-
gress.
The Workers (Communist) Party,
which is always in the forefront Of
the struggles of the workers in this
country against the attacks of the
bankers and bosses government, is
its entire membership to
be thrown into this fight against the
fnger-printing bills that will soon

COURT HOUSE, Benton, H., Feb.
t2-The case for the defense in the

charged with assaulting D. 3. Cobb
last August II at a meeting Of Local
992 United Mine Workers has closed.
Forty-two witnesses, not counting
character witnesses, took the stand.

From the attitude of the prosecu-
ton toward the foreign-born defense
witnesses it is quite evident that they
intend to direct barrage Of anti
foreign propaganda to the jury OF
native-born farmers to secure YER
dict of guilty.
Judge Neeley, hired by Fox, presi-
dent of the miners sub-district, to aid
in the prosecution, is being groomed
for the anti-foreign role. His Qualifi-
cations for this can be judged by his
asking a Montenegrian who came 70
this country In 1917 and served in the
American army against Soviet Russia.
