workers receive wages that are so
per cent lower than those paid to the
worst paid American workers." he
said.

TEXTILE STRIKE
BALLOT TONIGHT
New Bedford Vote Will
Affect $4,000

NEW BEDFORD, Mass, April IL.
The membership--ef the seven tex
tile unions in New Bedford affiliated
with the Textile Council will cast
ballots Thursday night calling a
general strike in the New Bedford
cotton manufacturing mills. Seven
wears of continuous layoffs, speed
up, wage cuts, both official and un-
official make almost certain the re-
suit of the balloting which is expected
to be overwhelmingly in favor of a
strike as an answer to the new wage
slash of 10 per cent made several
days ago and which is to affect 49,
900 textile workers in the 81 mills of
New Bedford and Taunton, according
to the sentiment here.
Action Anticipated.
An announcement from the union
Headquarters states that the strike
ballots will be in as simple form as
is possible. There will be one slip of
paper perforated in the middle. One
side will be printed with strike" and
the other mo strike.
The mood the workers are in after
this brutal attack on their standards
is such as to justify belief prevalent
that they will brook no action similar
to that taken by the officials of the
Fall River Textile Council when they
announced the result of a strike vote
to be II votes short of two-thirds
majority, demanded by the official
dom. This occurred when the Fall
River mills made similar reduction
several months ago.
The strike sentiment is being
crystallized by the activity of mill
committees formed by a national
progressive textile workers organi-
zation. These committees, established
in every mill, are issuing leaflets call
ing upon the workers to strike against
the wage reduction.
Flimsy Excuse.

Jones, a gun expert who was
called by the prosecution to establish
its own case against Sam Bonita on
trial here for his life.
Agati Fired First.
A sixth bullet found imbedded Ia
the wall of the room, Jones testified,
came from a gun not found on either
Bonita or Adam Moleski, his COM

the hands of Agati who on previous
occasions had beaten Bonita and who

to his death had again struck Bonita

testimony Of the expert called by the
state to uphold its own case. The gun
has disappeared.
Lawyers and competent observers
who are closely following the case are
uniformly of the opinion that nothing
has been established to show that
Bonita is guilty. They believe that
the young labor leader will be ac-

"Our hope is in a new protest move

and technical move has been made to
prove our innocence and our right to
an unconditional pardon, but without
success. The years go by until nearly

Twelve years of prison have made
their mark on Tom Mooney. 1t has
grayed his hair and impaired his once
robust health; but his indomitable
spirit, which was the marvel of all who
knew him, remains mistaken. His
mind is as keen as ever and his eyes
flash with the old fire of the fighter
who never admits defeat. He still be-
lieves in the power of labor solidar-
ity, and is full of hope that the power
of the workers will yet bring about
his vindication and his freedom from
