Local of the U.T.W.
The police are already trying to
frame-up those 10 workers arrest
ed and the injured in the. hospital
on serious charges.
The late edition of the Paterson
News shows that definite steps for
q frame-up are taking place. SIN
view of the fact it says, "that a
fatality may result from the fra
cas-, arrests were most important.
Police charged the N.T.W.U. mem
bers, radical strikers, with starting
the bloody battle" The jail warden
who declared the strikers are held
on $4,000 bond on a disorderly
conduct charge, said they would not
be released on bail, which intimates
other charges are being framed.
Not a single policeman was i'm
jured by gunfire, making ridicu-
lous the charge of the frame-up.

and the National Textile Workers
Union are holding big protest
meeting at Sandy Hill Park tomor-
row morning at 10 am. and are
inviting all A. F. of L. workers to

are sitting in secret conferences in
Washington with N.R.A. officials
and manufacturers.

John Bartolozzi, 81, shot in the
lung; at the General Hospital in q
