SILK WORKERS

Summit, N. j., Workers
Repudiate Betrayers

SUMMIT, N. j., Feb. 22.-At an
enthusiastic meeting, the workers Of
Summit, N. j., who were called out
on strike by the officials of the AS
ISOLATED Silk Workers, repudiated
that union and in a body joined the
National Textile Workers Union.
Fer five months these workers have
been on strike, entirely neglected by
the Associated. Although the work
ere are relatively few in number,
vet they courageously kept up a
militant picket line for many
months.
During this time the officials of
the Associated did absolutely moth
ing for them, except send few dol
lars each week for relief. More re-
Gently an Italian organizer of the
Associated, it is claimed by the
strikers, went to Paterson and told
the Italian workers to go back to
work in the Morris Broad Silk Com
pany at very low price. The re-
suit Of this was complete democrat
ization of the workers.
Two of the other shops, which had
settled at higher prices, now cut
prices to the lower level and insisted
on a non-union shop. This resulted
in the workers of the two other
shops going out on strike. In des-
peration with the officialdom of the
A. S. W., and hearing of the Na-
tional Textile Workers Union, the
workers came to the Paterson local
office, and from there to the ma
tional office of the N. T. w. u,
asking for aid for the continuation
Of the struggle.
The meeting was the result Of
this appeal for aid. In body the
strikers tore up their old cards and

The Cheswick cases, the trial Of ten
miners arrested when troop OF
Pennsylvania state police ran wild
and rode down, bombed, shot and
dubbed a Sacco-V anzetti meeting to
pieces over year ago, has been
postponed again. But the prosecu-
ion is actively carrying out the or
lers of the coal companies of this
state. and every effort will yet be
made to frame up and imprison the
defendants.
The last trial date set was Feb.
%. Attorney Henry Ellenbogen,
representing the International La
DOR Defense, on Feb. 10 moved to
1uash the indictment charging that
the miners were rioting and con-
sDiring to riot, unlawfully assem-
bling and resisting an officer, etc
The original indictment had been
murder, because during the riding
down of the workers and miscellane-
Gus shooting by the state troopers,
trooper was shot and killed, by
persons unknown.
The murder indictment was drop
ned some time ago, and the argu-
nent on the rioting Indictment and
other charges will come up in court
Thursday, Feb. %.
The international Labor Defense
has notified the defendant and wit
nesses that they should not appear
ir court until further notice from
the I. L. D. 1t also calls on all
workers who saw the brutal assault
hv the state police on the miners at

and Peter Moretti.
Bernardini has not yet recovered
from the effects of the clubbing he
received and is at present in hos
pital. Many of the victims of the
police charge, some of them women
and children of miners families, are
crippled for life from the injuries
they received.
