BEDFORD TOILERS
DEFY P 0 LICE.
Cops Attack Shop-Gate
Meet Second Time

NEW BERFORD, Mass, Jan. 2.
The growing militancy of the New
Bedford mill workers, shown by
their response to National Textile
Workers Union shop-gate meetings,
has thrown a severe scare into the
mill owners here.
Manuel Perry, district youth or
ganizer of the N.TW.U. in New
Bedford, was arrested Monday at
the second successive mill gate meet
ing held at the Beacon MILL at which
Peter Hegelias and Martin Russak,
of the N.TW. had been arrested
in a previous meeting.
Because he made a sharp attack
on William Green and exposed the
Studebaker role of the local labor
misleaders, Binns and Batty, Perry
is charged with "using abusive Ian
guage" and is out on 500 bail. The
trial will take place today.
Binns and Batty have been in
session here with McMahon and
Starr of the U.T.W. to make further
plans for cooperating with the local
mill bosses in their speed-up system.
Over 800 workers attended the
meeting at which Perry was arrest
ed. Both Hagelias and Russak, ar
rested at the same mill yesterday
spoke at the second meeting. They
are out on bail pending trial next
week.
They were so strongly supported
by the workers at the meeting that
the police did not dare arrest them
even after Russak took the plat
form again after Perry's arrest and
sharply denounced the police and the
A. F. of L. betrayers.
The N.T.W. is answering these
arrests with the decentralization to
redouble it's organization campaign
among the mill workers of this dis
trict.
The N.T.W.U. is fighting the in
crease of looms from to 6 that is
planned by the Beacon Mill.

the hardest work in the factory and
it is highly skilled work but in spite
of the fact that they work to the
limit of their ability they only get
about twenty-five or thirty dollars
per week In the stitching room
there are a great many table girls
who get from four to six dollars per
week for the dirtiest kind Of slave
driving work. There are five last
pullers who do the hardest kind of
work for eight or ten dollars.
AS to the general treatment of the
workers the bosses are entirely I'M
restrained in their language. In or
der to drive them to the limit the
bosses use the dirtiest and most
humiliating words they can think of.
Girls twelve or thirteen years old
who have had no previous expert
ence along this line soon get the
habit and use language as obscene
as any prostitute.

in my next letter.
