poited workers into mass struggle
against the mill owners.
ITO connect the struggle in the
south with the organization of new
militant unions nationally in all in
dustries and to connect it as well
with the Cleveland TUEL conven-
ton.
ITO impress upon the workers
everywhere that the promises by the
state and the mill owners of fair
trials, that religion and Communism
would not be made an issue in the
trial, the change of venue, the with
drawing of the murder charge
against the three women defendants
are not victories for the defense but
maneuvers by the prosecution to
make it more possible to murder and
imprison the jailed textile workers
and organizers.
