and dye bosses. These same bosses
today are telling their workers to
Join the Associated Mayor Hinch-
cliffe is advising the workers to join
the Associated The immigration
authorities are in Paterson to
bludgeon them into joining the AS
sociated. Mayor Hinchcliffe is or
ganizing a group of sO-called "Fadi-
eaP' lawyers, who have figured i'm
past strikes defending the workers,
such as Morelli, who was the att0r-
ney for Haywood in 191S-and the
function of these sO-called radical
lawyers, will be to support the strike
breaking Associated and Z. 7. w.
and to send the workers back to
work.
Workers are being sent by their
bosses to the Associated to get cards
and return to work. Does the ASso-
ciated fight for the demands that
the workers want? 1t does not. 1t
serves only as the agency of the
bosses-only as bosses union, like
the company unions in the needle
trades, which the bosses use against
tbs interests of the workers, by hav-
ing secret racketeering agreements
with the union officials.
August 3 is a strikebreaking day.
August 8 or, as Gitlow proposed July
27, is a strikebreaking day. If, as is
now declared, the Associated will
call a strike" on July %, it will
likewise be a strikebreaking day.
The strike has been on since July %,
and the Associated and U. T. w.
with the assistance of the renegade
from Communism, Gitlow, and the
Musteites have been consciously
strikebreaking, in this way acting as
agents and stool pigeons of the
bosses in the ranks of the working
class.
The silk and dye workers OF Pat
erson will join the ranks led by the
United Front General Strike Com
mittee and the National Textile
Workers Union, the only union rep
resenting and fighting for the inter
ests of the silk and dye workers all
over the country. The American
Federation of Labor, this including
the U. T. W. and the Associated,
which have amalgamated and af-
filiated to the A. r. Of L., is selling
out all strikes. The silk and dye
workers must not forget that the
silk and other textile workers of
Eiizabethton, Tenn, Marian, n. C.,
Danville, w. Va, and the upholstery
workers of Philadelphia. were openly
sold out by the A. F. of L. and
u. T. w. officials. The U. T. w, Of
ficials of Allentown are doing every
thing in their power to sell out the
strike in that silk city, but the rank
and file, which has united with the
Paterson workers through the Ma
tional Textile Workers Union and
the United Front General Strike
Committee, are taking the matter
into their own hands.
Join the United Front!
This is what the United Front
General Strike Committee and the
National Textile Workers Union of
Paterson are asking you to do. Your
leaders are preventing the unity of
struggle of the rank and file of the
silk and dye workers of Paterson.
Push these strikebreaking officials
aside! Join the United Front! Elect
your strike committees in the shop!
Elect a delegate to the United Front
General Strike Committee! Make
this one powerful united front of the
rank and file against the strikebreak-
ing officials of the Associated and
u. T. W., Gitlow, the Musteites, who
are working in the interests of the
silk and dye bosses.
The bosses will have to settle with
the United Front and General Strike
Committee and the National Textile
Workers Union. They have tried to
break the strike of the miners by
settling" with the A F.. of L. But
the miners will accept no settlement
unless it is made with their own
union, the National Miners Union.
Now Mayor Hinchcliffe, the bosses,
some so-called radical lawyers" the
police, immigration authorities and
the Cancellation committee are going
to try to settle" the strike The
fake strike of the Associated which
will be called will be for the pur-
pose of splitting the ranks Of the
workers Do not allow the strike
breaking officials to split the ranks
and sell out the strike. The united
front of the workers can defeat any
combination of the bosses and their
stool pigeons. The bosses can settle
with the silk and dye workers only
through the United Front General
Strike Committee and the National
Textile Workers Unionl
The Communist Party OF U. S. A.
solidly supports the general strike of
the silk and dye workers Of Pater-
son led by the National Textile
Workers Union and the United
Front General Strike Committee.
Communists are among the strikers,
playing leading part in the strike.
The Communist Party calls on the
workers to repudiate the strikebreak-
ing officials of the Associated and
U. T. W., and to join and build up
the National Textile Workers Union,
