MERCHANTS SHUT
DOORS AS STRIKE
PA4RALYzES l TOWN
Mill Committees Begin
Relief Work

NEW BEDFORD, Mass, Apr. 10.
Two developments of great signi-
ficance took place here, as the general
strike of the 10000 textile operatives
settled into full swing. The 5000
organized and $4,000 unorganized
workers in So textile plants here are
fighting a vicious slash of ten per
cent in their already miserable wages
which the mill owners tried to en-
force last Monday.
The most important of these de-
velopmehts is the fact that the cot
ton mills in Taunton, neighborine
town, are preparing with all speed
to rearrange their machinery to han
die some of the work stopped by the
strike in New Bedford. This activity
of the Taunton mills, most of which
are owned by New Bedford interests,
is being met with complete silence by
the officialdom of the American Fed
Grafton of Textile Operatives, in spite
of the demands raised by the Textile
Mill Committee that the union take
immediate steps to call out the Taun-
ton and Fall River locals. Both the
Fall River and Taunton mill owners
forced wage cuts upon the workers.
Stores Are Closing.
The other event of Importance is the
announcement of the store owners OF
the South End, who declared that they
were selling out their stock at any
cost, with signs in the windows OF
many of them declaring that they
would close their doors at the end
of the week.
Committees Supported.
The sentiment expressed by the
workers shows that they are fast raj
lying arount the slogans of the Tex
tile. Mill Committee that immediate
steps should be taken by the union
officials of the Textile Council to
back up the mill committees in their
attempt to spread the strike to other

BROPHY, TOOHEY
HELD BY GRAND
JURY FOR riot
Mass Picketing Despite
Wholesale Arrests

PITTSBURGH, April 19-John
Brophy, chairman, and Pat Toohey,
secretary of the national Save the
Union Committee of the United Mine
Workers, were today indicted by the
Allegheny county grand jury, while
mass arrests proceeded in the effort
to head off the strike movement in
the western Pennsylvania coal fields.
One hundred fifty leaders of the
progressive forces have been arrest
ed since Monday in the desperate at
tempt by the operators to check the
rising tide of organization which is
sweeping over the mine districts. In
formation coming here from West
moreland county indicates that SO far
from being intimidated, thousands Of
miners have been inspired by the at
tacks to hitherto unequalled heroism.
The indictments of Toohey and
Brophy charge them with unlawful
assemblage, melting to riot and riot
ing. These actions of the grand jury
are the result of the activities of
these leaders Of the mine workers in

State Federation of Labor was the
first organization of any description

Gov. Smith and the attorney general
who took charge of the nationwide
attack of the democratic Wilson adj
ministration against the labor move
ment in 1919-20 were in conference a
long time. At the end of the confer

from now on he would actively en-
gage in the campaign to put Al Smith
in the White House. Palmer also
used the power of the federal govern
ment to break the so-called "outlaw"
railroad strike in 1920. Just what
promises Smith made to Palmer were
not made known. But "Red Raid"
Palmer is sled-length for Smith and
will speak and write for him.
