The New Offensive On the Textile Workers

The hand of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts,
which the blood of Sacco and Vanzet has dried and
has again reached out to clutch the leaders OF the
American working class and smash the organizations Of the
workers This time it is Fred Biedenkapp national secretary
of the Workers international Relief which fell the burden
of feeding the thousands of strikers families during the
great struggle of the textile workers against the New Bed
ford mill bosses last year, who has first fallen victim.
With the connivance of the boss judicial system in
New York State the Commonwealth has seized Bedenkapp
for extradtion to Massachusetts,.
Next the roster of vengeance according to the specific
terms of the extradon warrants of the New York Magi
rate McAdoo for the bloody Commonwealth OF Massachu
sets Albert Wesbord of the Ma
ona Textile Workers Union, the organization which is the
great fruit of the strike and Paul Crouch secretary of the
A-America Anti-mperiast League who has before
paid for his loyalty to his class by spent in peniten
tiaries of American capitalism
Besides these, whom the Commonwealth Of Coolidge and
Fuller is still unsuccessful in extradting from New York,
loom the of 662 workers against whom vengeance
demanded by the mill barons of New England Infatuated by
the might of the struggle which the workers of New Bed
ford able to against their desposm and at the
great National Union which from these struggles
permanent threat to the tyranny of the bosses.
Since that day when the mill gates thrown open
and the thousands of strikers streamed out to battle for
existence with their oppressors the mill bosses have
ceased to cry first for the blood of the pckets under the
clubs of the police and for the lives of the workers to
be wasted at the decision OF the bosses courts in years OF i'm
prisonment
The mill bosses of Massachusetts who staged the Sacco
Vanze frameup and murder past masters at the art
of failing workers and their leaders Moreover they
alarmed before at the growing strength of the
organized workers result of the throwing off of the
crooked trade union agents of the bosses and the establish
ment of the big union The bosses to strike and
strike hard They out if not for blood for jail
otaing appalling number of years They to silence
decades the voice. and to shacke for decades the hands
of the militant workers of New England
The workers thruout the United States must be alert to
the grave danger in which stand the textile workers who
heroca fought through the long New Bedford strike They
must be prepared to rush to the defense of the New Bedford
victims against every attempt of the whole apparatus of
capitalist justice boss-owned Judges suborned jures,
police toopigeons paid wtnesses to frame them The
danger is great victory for the capitalist through their
class courts would be serious blow to the New England
working GLASS; to the workers of the whole country.
The classconscous workers organizations must and VIII
give example of the proearian fighting capacity that is
released into the class struggle by the organization boss
