General Fabrics Strikers Continue
Struggle

g. No discrimination
g. Recognition of the Mill Committees
The vicious IL loom system which exists in the
General Fabrics mill has thrown hundreds of
weavers out of job The restoration Of the
loom system will give more jobs to hundreds
OF unemployed workers. Therefore our strike is
the cause of the unemployed workers as well
as all the silk workers of Central Falls and Paw
tucket
We have fought for these demands in the face
OF the most brutal police terror, which broke all
laws in refusing our right to picket. Police clubs
tear gas, riot guns, were used brutally by both
local and state police Machine guns were mount
ed on the mill roof the United States Immigra-
ton Department lined up with the shylocking
company we are fighting and tried to terrorize
the strikers Then judge of lower court,
whose whole relations are heavily interested in
textile manufacturing, and who himself rumor
has It, is stakeholder in the General Fabric
mill, and this judge imposes severe penalties,
tries to scare off bondsmen by insnuatinp re-
marks, places unreasonable and barbarous bail
on those strikers who are arrested, all in the in
trests of the robber concern, the General Fabrics
Company
The Strike is on--and will stay on until the
mill management meets the Strike Committee to
discuss the above demands
No 'ote VIII De TAKEN Until Sucn Time as there
is report OF such conference to be acted
upon.
Let no false rumors deceive you. Every textile
worker and especially those in other silk mills
should do all in their power to raise more funds
for relief and defense.
Send all funds, food, shoes or other help for
the strikers to addresses below

AFTER twenty weeks of militant struggle, the
"A strikers of the General Fabrics mill are more
determined than ever to win their strike under
the leadership of the National Textile Workers
Union. Even though the company has succeeded
In keeping group of scabs in the mill through
the most vicious brutal clubbing of strikers on
the picket line when they tried to prevent the
scabs from entering the mill; the strikers who
nave the sympathy and. support of the vast ma
jority OF workers in this community have pledg-
ed themselves to intensity their struggle against
the General F7brcs through a counter-offensiye
move.
AT meeting of over one hundred and fifty
strikers vote was taken on issuing the follow
ing statement to the workers of Rhode Island:

Fellow Workers: Q

an organizer for that union, but way down
South I had thought he might be still in tail
or deported by now.
AND speakin gof mislaid strikes, as you did
the other day, see a little story on the second
page OF today's Daily Worker, which implies that
the paterson strike is over, when it says: hDur-

ms, also, is of special interest to me. sinea
am doing N.T,W.U. work. 1 read the Daily

worker each week, but Ihave no idea If the
Paterson strike is still on won, lost or anything
ABOUT 1t. Maybe you can enlighten me.
II believe the N. T. w. U. had a National
council meeting on Sept. 5th where undoubted-
ly some important matters were discussed
would be interested to learn what took n,ace
AS have not heard a word from the National
Office of the N T. W. U. since the early part
OF August, in spite of repeated requests. pos
sioly you can let me have few facts..'
Well, we knew that the comrade was c,so,d
down the river" but we are handicapped in
answering by grapevine telegram as the old
abolitonists used to do.
Firstly, we don't know, either, what has be-
come of the Paterson strike Maybe there never
was strike and we just imagined it, Maybe
there was and maybe it's still on. We don't
know and it seems doubtful whether the or
ganizer of it knows either
Maybe, in fact, there just amt any National
Textile Workers Union at all Maybe it's what
the philosophers call social myth" And
maybe, finally, the Trade Union Unity League
might do something about it,
