ing. In Passaic, Paterson and Lodi
the picket lines kept all mills closed.
Strikers of both unions mingled on
the picket line. There was bond
of solidarity evidenced.
The A. F.. of L. Dyers' Local issued
q statement this afternoon indieat-
ing their willingness to sell out the
dye strike by Surrendering demands
on wages and working conditions in
order to gain the check-off for the
leaders Of the .. T. w. The A. F.
of L. Dyers' Local demands are: De-
duction of union dues from the en-
ployee's pay envelopes, employment
of new men only through the A. F.
of l.. Union, Shop Labor Committees
to adjust shops in dispute.
John j. BALKAN, in behalf of the
National Textile Workers Union, an
swered this Sell-out proposal Of the
U. T. W. officials as follows: THAT
the U. T. w. officials have abandoned
the demand for wages and better con-
ditions and are proposing the check
off for the U. T. w. national Off
Gals in order to send the men back
to work at the same and even lower
wages and worse working conditions,
is evident. It's purpose is also to
eliminate the N. T. w. y. The
picket lines this morning and the
mass demonstration Saturday showed
conclusively that the dye strikers
follow the general dye strike COM
mittee and the National Textile
Workers Union"
The check-off going through the
National U. T. w. office will enable
Mcmahon and other U. t. w. leaders
to sell out the strike, in line with
the five weeks truce engineered by
Mcmahon, which all union members
repudiated, and in line with the gen.
eral sell-out policy OF the U. T. W.,
declared BALKAN.
The United National Strike Com
mittee of the silk workers received
a wire yesterday from the silk bosses
which said that they would deal only
with individual shops and individual
workers. BALKAN replied that the
policy Of the National Textile Work
erS' Union is that all negotiations
with the manufacturers are to be
carried on through committees elected
by the General Dye Strike Committee
and the N.T.W.U. Such a committee
has already been elected. He also de-
clared that the proposal Of the dye
manufacturers to deal only with in
dividual strikers, violates the de-
cisions of the MIRA. Labor Advisory
Board and Section Ia.
A call to action issued by the Uni
ted National Strike Committee calls
on all strikers to hold their ranks
solid, spread the strike and build
rank and file committees in every silk
center and concludes. "One strike
committee, one picket line, one united
strike" This call is signed by Or
CARNATIONS not present at the first
meeting of the strike committee. The
United Wrappers League of Paterson
has now decided to especially take
part and elect official delegates to
the strike committees. The Unions
of Allentown and Easton, etc., are
also taking part The next meeting
Of the United National Strike Com
mittee takes place Thursday after
noon in Easton at 2 pm. at Bakers
Hall.
A general dye strike relief COM
mittee has been set up at 222 Pater-
son Street and calls all organizations
to speed funds for relief. Sandwiches
and coffee were served to the strik-
ers by this committee today at all
halls after the picket lines. The
W.IR. is cooperating with this COM
naittee.
On Wednesday, September 27, at
Elizabeth, New Jersey, there will be
