strike last Saturday.
The union statement ends with the
following:
"A fresh series OF strikes are
bound to develop against the star
walton policy Of the American
Wooden Co. The wage-cut up to
20 per cent In the 0ldtown, Me-,
Mill Of the A. w. G. heralded the
new wave of slashes being pre-
pared by the big bankers control
ling the company. The workers
will again unite their ranks and re-
sist the attack against them and
their families. That Is why the
National Textile Workers Union
must be maintained and strength
ened in the WeybosSet Mill and
in all the other mills of the Amer
lean Wooden Co. The N. T. W. q.
knows no defeat. 1t has unbounded
faith In the masses and will never
desert them. We will fight to or

lead them TO victory"
LAWRENCE, Mass, Aug. 9.-The
most enthusiastic meeting since the
strike OF last February was held here
Wednesday night. Anna Burlak, on
tour for the Rhode Island strikers
and Edith Berkman, just released
from the immigration Jail on $4,000
bail, we're the speakers.
Solidarity" the song of the fight
ing textile workers, greeted the two
girl N. T. w. U. organizers as they
entered the union hall, 234 Essex
st.
The meeting was real demon
stration that neither deportations nor
other police prosecutions will stop
the growth of the union. The N. T
w. U. is in Lawrence to stay. Pizer
was the acting local organizer while
Edith Berlman was kept in East
Boston immigration station.
Try Start Company Union.
PUTNAM, Conn, Aug. 9.--That the
capitalist tool, Joseph Tone, state
commissioner of labor and A. F. Of L
official. is trying to establish COM
pany union in the struck Bloom silk
mill here was indicated In the
Windham County observer.
This sheet prints the following
"The mill owner, the commissioner
stated, was ready to accept a coop
erative plan Of manufacturing with
workers appointed by each depart
n1ent to oversee production in the
interests of all concerned" The OBJ
server, in order to more easily smash
the strikers ranks through such a
company union scheme, spreads the
lie that the N. T. w. U. organizer
favors the scheme. The strikers have
not fallen for this arrangement.
CENTRAL FALLS, r.. l., Aug. g.
The General Fabrics strikers must be
on their guard against any attempt
of a sell-out by new. impartial
committee" which has been set up
here to try to secure conference be-
tween the mill and the strike COM
mittee.
The strikers have continuously
said that they don't care who ar
ranges the conference with the mill,
but only the strike committee can
negotiate for settlement of the
strike and only the strikers them
selves can finally settle the strike.
The strikers here remember that
Anna Weinstock, "concilistor" of the
U. S. Department of Labor. the
Citizens Committee" and the tear
bombs and state police we're all one
front of the employers against the
workers.
