"(Signe6 Weybosset Mill Strike
Committee"
Sunday after the Weybosset strik-
ers' mass meeting the workers kept
streaming into the hall of the Ma
tiona1 Textile Workers Union to par
ticipate in the workers vote. Dur
ing the voting the strikers we're reg
istered and those not yet in the
union were signed up. On the basis
Of this vote the Strike Committee
issued the following statement:
Statement on the vote Of the
American WOODEN Company strikers
in Olneyville.
CBy the Weybosset Strike Committee)
July 20, 1881.
The Weybosset workers own vote
yesterday conclusively proved that
the mill is standing solid for the re-
turn of the 1919 per cent wage cut,
no discrimination and recognition of
the mill committee.
Despite the fact that the workers
vote was called on one days notice,
that the bosses press practically
gave no publicity to the fact that
the vote would be taken, that the
vote was taken on Sunday when
the decisive strata of the strikers
who are standing solid in the fight
were out of town I'VE know of over
80 union members coming under
this heading the vote results was
extremely favorable for the struggle
1856 Weybosset workers cast their
ballots, 500 voted to stand solid in
the strike for the strike demands
under the leadership of the strike
committee and the N. T. w. U. Only
"a voted against the struggle. And
this small handful of negative votes
we're not from the decisive depart
ments of the mill.
1t is clear that this Is the deter
mined expression of the Weybosset
workers. All other workers, includ-
ing the "a negative votes must
abide by the decision Of the over
whelming majority.
All of us now go forward 100 per
cent solid in the strike. The work
ers have again repeated that they
have absolute confidence in their
strike committee and that it is the
only authorized body that can nego-
tiate for them. The workers recog-
nize that only their vote, taken by
their strike committee, can settle
the strike.
The workers vote yesterday cate
gorically defeated the strikebreaking
scheme of the Olneyville Business
mems Assoc. and Alderman Duffy.
The workers showed that they would

outs. The workers are fighting until
they win their demands!
The strike committee calls upon
every Weybosset worker to do the
following:
Keep away from the bosses fake
vote!
Stand solid with your fellow work
ers for a real victory!
All out on the picket line!"
