through the betrayal in Paterson.

1.-THE Communist Party of Pater-

of all the silk workers in the strike.
They helped to bring about the
merging of the National Textile
Workers Union into the American
Federation of Silk Workers, in order
to have one union, one general
strike committee and one picket
line. During the strike, the Commu-
nists in the union were active on
the picket line.
The Daily Worker, organ of the
Communist Party, rendered great
assistance with local strike news as
we'll as news from the various strike
areas, and at the same time gave
guidance to the thousands of textile
strikers from Maine to Georgia. The
Daily Worker was the only paper
in the country that warned the tex
