must not allow the textile workers
to be railroaded to jail, they must
not allow this new step in the attack
on the wages and working conditions
Of their fellow workers to succeed.
"The international La5o7 Defense
calls upon all workers organiza-

We call upon all workers to protest
in meetings and resolutions, and
in this way to aid in the fight

whom are Sasmiero Lamieras, AL
fonso Lamieras, Anton Samieras,
Marion Botelho, Germaine Madie-
ras, Maria Valente and Abraham
Pier, who was arrested for secur-
irg bail for arrested strikers.
In coming before the Superior
Court and the curry trial they are
to face, the workers are '.ppearing
on an appeal of their cfses, made
after they were sente'.ced by
lower court during the strike. The
appeals were made by the Interna-
tional Labor Defense, which is now
providing all legal defense and is
planning a huge national protest
movement against this attack on
working class leaders.
Appeal for Funds.
Appeals for funds are being
broadcast, protest mass rallies are
being arranged for, in order that
this latest act of boss retaliation for
the losses they suffered may be
thwarted.
These hundreds of workers were
arrested for no other offense than
that Of picketing during the strike.
The charges against nearly all of
them, which are in almost each case
manifold, are disorderly conduct,
parading without permit, melting
to riot and rioting. Sentences, when
passed during the hearing in the
lower courts, were made viciously
heavy on each count. Many work.
ers have compound sentences Of
over six months in Jail. The lead
ing figures in the strike have even
longer terms to serve.

mitted is that of striking against
starvation wages. This trial, a
monster process against hundreds
of workers, is an attempt once more
to deny the textile workers of New
England the basic right of picketlng,
of organizing into unions. The ter
cor in New Bedford-organized by
the police and the courts together
with the textile bosses against these
striking workers-the mass arrest
Of strike pickets, the attempt to
smash the organization of the tex
tile workers, is an effort at estab-
fishing police persecution as gen.
eral. practice, in the textile indus
try. That this campaign of judicial
terror has already become a general
attack on the more than 100000
poorly paid textile workers, who are
now attempting to organize mill
tant unions, is shown by the strike
of the Paterson silk workers, where
&c strikers were arrested and taken
to the county jail because they were
acting on the picket line.
Textile Bosses Plot.
"The textile bosses of New Bed
ford in this great trial are aiming
blow against the new Textile
Workers Union and against the
movement for the organization of
the unorganized working masses.
"Since to openly ban the new Tex
tile Workers Union during tie cleo
ton period and thus destroy the
false appearance of democracy is
uncomfortable for them, the employ
ers seek to reach the same goal
thru these mass arrests and thru
the mass trial. The trial is above
all directed against the strike lead
ers of the New Bedford workers,
against the organizers of the New
Textile Union. By means of shame
less action in the employers courts,
and by means Of deportation threats
the trial is directed at pushing the
militant strike leaders out Of New
Bedford, in order to hit in this way
at the movement for the organiza-
ton of the unorganized into the
new union. For this reason the ac-
cused strike leaders were kept I'M
der arrest, under heavy bail for
some weeks. The International La
Dor Defense has already raised more
than S350,000 in bail for the textile
workers Of New Bedford.
"This mass trial is not only d.
rected against the strikers of New
Bedford. 1t is another attack by
the bosses of America against the
workers right to strike, against the
right to picket. At the same time
the trial is an attack against the
new Textile Workers Union. The
trial is but a continuation of the
police terror used against the con-
vention of the militant National
Miners Union of Pittsburgh.
The mass trial of the New Bed
ford and Fall River textile workers
is an attack against the entire
American working class. The work
ing class of America must answer

point out that this step not only
brings the strike widespread pub
licity, but that it also brings
realization to many working class
voters that they should vote for
working class party and not for the
two capitalist parties or for the
party that betrays the working
class, the socialist party.
That publicity was gotten by this
ingenious move was apparent when
photographers from New York
newspapers snapped many photos
of the picketing strikers.
Urge Communist Vote.
"Silk and other workers, cast
your ballots for the 8-hour day;
vote for union recognition! vote for
the party of the workers." were
some of the signs the pickets wore
Some strikers also carried signs de-
manding that the police be forced
to allow the strikers their right of
peaceful picketing.
At Turn Hall, where the strikers
later came together for their daily
mass meeting, left wing workers
were heard in discussions with the
workers, arguing the Importance of
worker voting for the Workers
Party candidates because that par
ty only defends the interests of and
helps the Paterson silk strikers.
Hear BALKAN.
1t was very crowded meeting
that listened with the greatest in
terest to John BALKAN, of the Work
ers (Communist) Party, Bill Siroka.
of the National Textile Workers
Union and Martin Russek, writer
and poet, who was himself a silk
weaver and whose father is one of
the strikers.
BALKAN lauded the workers for
their decision to support the mem
bers of their strike committee who
proposed militant struggle against
the bosses as the only way of win
ming the fight. "You can force
your leaders to be militant" BALKAN
declared. "Your decision at the
the membership meeting, the huge
picket lines Monday morning and
the picketing of the polls today,
shows that" He also told them that
they should safeguard their organ
ization by affiliation to the new
militant National Textile Workers
Union.
Russek, who has published many
poems of the silk workers, in Pater-
sons mills, told the workers that
each strike call of the silk workers
here saw less and less workers re-
spond to the call of the union. "Bill
Haywood is dead, but we must con-
duct our struggles with his mill
tant spirit" He blamed the dimin-
ishing response to strike calls on
the conservative leadership of the
unions and on the fact that many
silk plants have been established
outside of Paterson, which was
formerly center. AS remedy for
this he advised immediate lining up
with national, union that will or
ganize centers out of Paterson.
Bill Siroka, who is now serving
the Paterson strikers as a picket
captain, showed how diligently tn,
bosses were working to divide tn
workers along race, craft and ma
tionality lines in order to keep ther
divided while the employers them
selves were organizing nationally
He brought home his point by call
ing on the workers to force affilia
ton with the new national union

Although defeated in three straight games so far in the playoff for the roller hockey championship, the New Britain team will take on new life tomorrow against the Hart ford quintet which is scheduled to appear at the Stanley Arena in this weeks sunday game.
 The Hartford team. strengthened by the addition of "Wild Bill' Dug gan. formerly of Bristol, has one of the strongest combinations in the entire league and Is favored in many quarters to run the gauntlet in the series and come out a winner.
 The club has three rushers who are capable Of making any team in the league stap to get ahead of it. Besides Duggan, there ara Tony Welch and Art St. Aubin both of whom are fast and clever on the floor. Back of whatever pair is chosen to work from this trio. is Fred Jean, captain and daddy of polo players" Jeans great work during the season was nothing at all 10 be compared with the stuff he Is showing in the playoff series and this bodes ill for New Britain. "Rube" Williams, one of the few Connecticut boys in the ranks Of players in the league. will be back at halfback and his presence in the lineup should give the New Britain forwards plenty of trouble. Bill Jette is in the goal and he is rated among the best tenders in the league.
