FIGHT TEXTILE
STRIKE SELL-OU7

Especial to the Daily Worker
NEW BEDFORB, Mass, Sept. 5.
Efforts are increasing to put over
a sell-out in the brilliant struggle
of the textile workers as the strike
nears the end of the 21st week.
Tonight the advisory committee of
the Cotton Manufacturers Associa-
ton is to consider the request made
by the Citizens Mediation Commit
tee, asking that conferences be held
with the officialdom of the American
Federation of Labor Textile Council.
The Citizens Committee will submit
"peace" plan which comedies the
mill owners the right to enforce an
intense speed up system in return
for their withdrawal of the wage
cut notices.
The plan of the mediators is based
on the notorious Labor Extension
Plan" offered as a settlement plan
by the officialdom of the Textile
Council. The Textile Mill Commit
tees denounce this offer as an intol-
cradle speed-up system which is even
worse than the ten per cent wage
cut.
The T. M. C. union also launches
a sharp attack on the A. F. of L.
takers for being so eager in making
concessions to the employers when
even the local press is carrying daily
stories refuting Sullivan's pretenses
of unanimity among the mill owners.
These reports show that the ranks
of the mill owners are fast disinte-
grating. Rumors reported by the
press state that many mill owners
are ready to capitulate to the bril-
liant anti-wage cut struggle and re-
sumo operations.

Especial to the Daily Worker
BOSTON, Mass, Sept. 5.-Mis-
taken about the identity of the COM
mittee of forty New Bedford tex
tile strikers who, che thought"
were members of the A. F. of L.
New Bedford Textile Council, Gov
ernor Fuller, in keeping his appoint
ment with the delegation yesterday
betrayed the fact that Batty, reac-
tionary council leader, had met
the strike by offering the mill own
the strike by offering the mil own
ers an opportunity to install a
speed-up system in return for their
recall of the wage cut. The COM
mittee he was speaking to were
members of the Textile Workers
Union of the Textile Mill Commit
tees.
When the notorious Fuller dis
covered he was talking to honest
trade unionists, who not only re-
fused to sell out the 21-week old
struggle of $4,000 textile workers
but who denounced the traitor Bat
ty, he openly threatened to have
James P. Reid, the 70 year old COM
mittee spokesman, thrown out of
the building.
Batty's proposal to the mill own
ers via the governor, that a vicious
speed-up system be installed in the
mills, in return for the recall of the
ten per cent wage cut, was sharply
attacked by Reid and Keller as a
sell-out that is bigger wage slash
than the 10 per cent cut.
Fuller not only refused to listen
to the demand for an unconditional
recall of the wage cut, but he even
refused to hear the complaints of
the strikers against the brutal DO
lice terror and the sending of hun
dreds of workers to Jail for picket
ing.

N. ]. MISLEADERS
OF LABOR Meet
IN CONVENTION
Ignore M ain Tasks;
May Endorse Smith

ATLANTIC CITY, Sept. 5.-The
New Jersey State Federation of
Labor opened another annual con-
vention here today. Important mat
tiers affecting the workers in this
state, such as fighting the powerful
open-shop corporations in this state
and relief for the many thousands
of jobless, were ignored in today's
session.
The reactionary officialdom OF
the state federation is expected to
table these matters should they
come up. The convention will prob
ably be devoted entirely to the ques-
ton of endorsing one of the CAPT
talist presidential candidates. Since
the corrupt Hague democratic ma
chine is closely allied with the labor
misleaders, Al Smith is expected to
receive the officials endorsement
At the last annual convention OF
the state federation, Hilfers, treas
urer, was forced to admit that he
had received 100000 from a COM
bination of the largest open-shor
firms in the state. Nothing has
been done about this matter by the
officialdom, who have many times
been accused of similar charges, but
on a larger scale.
A leader of the corrupt ring dom
mating the state federation is Theo.
dore Brandle, wealthy insurance
man and building trades official
who has sold ont many strikes.
