Wagner Meets Silk
Bosses in New Move
to Break Strike
Dye Workers Close
Plant in E. Paterson

PATERSON, N. j., Oct. 3.-Hun-
dreds of dye workers in mass picket
ing this morning broke through the
closed gates Of the Crew Dye House,
East Paterson, pulling out few fore
men who were working there. One
scab was injured and two strikers
were arrested. The plant was shut
down tight.
Senator Wagner, chairman of the
National Labor Board, entered the
strike situation, arriving in New York
Tuesday to meet secretly with the
manufacturers representatives. On
leaving Washington he issued state
ment indicating clearly that his mis-
sion to New York is for strikebreak-
ing. He declared, 81 would like to
see the silk code approved. This strike
is a demonstration against the code
as proposed by the manufacturers"
The United National Strike Com
mittee sent delegation to Wagner's
conference in New York with the de-
mand for open negotiations on the
basis of the strikers demands. The
A. F. of L. is maintaining strict
silence on Wagner'S strikebreaking
moves while attacking the MT. W.U.
as "strikebreakers.
Thousands of N.TW.U. strikers
turned the parade following the dem
onstration at Hinchcliffe Stadium
yesterday into q mighty demonstra-
ton of unity, marching three miles
through the streets of Paterson. Al
though A. F. of l.. officials tried to
disrupt the ranks of the strikers and
keep the N.T.W.U. strikers OUT, Jney
failed, and the section of the Mt.
W.U. was the most spirited, making
the streets resound with strike songs
and demands for unity and drawing
applause from massed spectators.
The local press today was forced,
by yesterdays demonstration, to print
the entire statement of the United
National Strike Committee and
called Kellers' lying attack on the
N.T.W.U. as "strikebreakers' a "pro-
vocative" statement. The parade and
demonstration greatly increased the
influence of the N.TW.U. in the
strike.
A delegate of the Associated, who
has just returned from Rhode Island,
spoke this morning at an A. F. of L..
strike mass meeting at Roseland
ballroom. He exposed the refusal of
the U.T.W. chiefs to call Pawtucket
and Central Falls silk mills on strike,
stating that the officials referred the
Paterson delegation TO the New York
office, where they were told they
would not call strike in Rhode
Island. He declared that the Rhode
Island workers want to strike and
will take matters into their own
hands.
The United National Strike Com
mittee will meet Wednesday at EmauS,
Pa, to push plans to spread the
strike to Rhode Island.
Twenty Paterson teachers, lawyers
and other professionals constituting
themselves a citizens strike relief
group decided to support the strike.
They refused to turn over all funds to
the A. F. of L. as demanded by KEEL
Ter, but to supply relief both to Mt.
WI. and A. F. of L. relief stations
equally. The committee is working
for relief on a united front basis.

Green's sole mention in his opening
speech of the urgent need for the
rapid enactment of unemployment in
Surance made manifest by the crisis
in N.R.A. and the palpable failure of
its unemployment program was: "We
are going to press for the enactment
of our social justice program, which
includes unemployment insurance"
But he had time to lift officially from
the Red Cross the curse which mill
lions of workers and farmers have
put upon it and its callous treatment
of hungry toilers and their families.
President Green introduced John
Barton Payne, Red Cross head, as
distinguished citizen who has graci-
ouSly consented to address us"
Evidently answering the flood of crit
icism of Red Cross handling of the
unemployed, Payne denied charges
and stated that his organization had
aided the unemployed in 1881. Green
then said that he had been deeply
touched by some of the complaints,
but that Payne had always responded
in "a sympathetic and appropriate
way"

this heartening message would be an

ing speech contained some criticism
of the administration of N.R.A. but its
whole tone was one of enthusiastic
support of NR-A. and the Roosevelt
Administration. The summary of the

This is followed up by attempts
where miners refuse to quite picketing
to restrict pickets to one county so
that miners will not march on I'M
struck mines or to steel centers.
Strike action was approved by a
mass meeting of 800 workers that
listened to report of their delega-
ton. Workers from nearly all other
steel mills in Ambridge and Aliquippa
were present. when are we going
to strike" was the question asked by
workers from score of steel mills.
A march is being planned to
Aliquippa across the River from AM
bridge to spread the strike to j and
L Steel Mills. "If the two mills in
Ambridge go out, we go out" say
j and L workers in an effort then to
be made to join in a united struggle
with miners of and l. mines, fifty
mills out Of Aliquippa. Miners will
come to Aliquippa and Anbridge to
enlarge picket lines and endeavor to
close down every steel mill in the
vicinity.
Two hundred Negro workers of j
and L plant belong to the Negro
Fraternal Club and are in favor of
the Steel and Metal Workers Indus
trial Union. A Greek preacher in
this vicinity urged all workers in his
congregation, mostly steel workers,
to join the Steel and Metal Workers
Industrial Union and support the
pending strike.
Over 1000 miners and steel workers
from Ambridge, Turtle Creek, Heidel-
burg, Yukon, Jeanette and other
mining and steel centers came in
trucks to Greensburg today to join
mass picketing of Walworth foundry
strikers now in their fourth week of
strike.
Attack Strikers.
Yesterday 1000 young miners
paraded into Charlton from New Ken
sington fields. When they approached
the mills a group of armed deputies
attacked them, head on, wounding
many. One miner, fifty-four, had his
skull fractured. For while ranks
were broken, only to re-assemble and
continue picketing.
A mass meeting of over 5000 Wal
worth Foundry strikers and their
wives, over one-half of the audience
being women, took place in Green's
brgh Sunday. Lena Davis, of Pitts
burgh Unemployed Council, addressed
