morning, however, will give a still
better demonstration, since today
is a holiday, if serious efforts are
made by the active strikers of
every shop to pull cut all stay-at-
homes for mass picketing.
The employers, having failed to
put over their latest proposal, it is
believed, will now make an effort
to bring in scabs and armed thugs.
The conference between the work.
ers' settlement committee and the
employers, scheduled to put the
finishing touches to the latest
terms, has now been called off,
since the workers refused to accept
the proposal.
AS this dispatch is being sent, a
meeting of shop chairmen and del
egates is in session in Paterson, at
which the next steps are to be de-
tern1ined. DR.. Benjamin Squires
Of the Textile Labor Relations
Board is scheduled to appear be-
fore the workers and explain" the
settlement terms.
Thus far, the officials of the
union have been announcing that
a secret ballot in each individual
shop will be arranged anyway, but
their actually going through with
it is doubtful. The workers are
unanimously opposed to the idea,
but are quite willing to have full
mass meeting with a vote taken
there.
Furthermore, it was learned that
the officials Of the Dyers Fedora
tion are insisting that the en-
ployers accede to some minor
changes in the proposed contract,
hoping that they could propose
virtually the same contract under
the guise that it is new one.
The Paterson newspapers are es-
pecially active in agitating for the
adoption of the proposed terms and,
in an effort to break the morale Of
the strikers, are prominently dis
playing stories about the possibility
of the strike lasting all winter, and
that the manufacturers will move
out of the city if they cannot get
lasting peace"
The manufacturers, through Mr..
Manuel Schavick, their attorney,
insist on the two year agreement,
on the grounds that "the en-
ployers have been hard hit by the
strike and their business is suffer
ing severely. We need and demand
a lasting peace, otherwise there will
be no adjustment of the strike. y
Five more silk shops, including
the Peggy Silk Co., were pulled
out on strike today in a drive Of
the silk weavers to smash the wage
cutting campaign. This morning
Paterson saw the largest picket
line of silk weavers, when the eff
fort to revive the strike activity
begun. Tomorrow, several more
large shops are scheduled to be
pulled out. The enthusiasm is
spreading among SUTlKerS WIN, uIlIll
recently, have been left in a dis
gusted state as a consequence of
the general strike betrayal and the
nlisleadership of local officials.
The following telegram was sent
from the Soviet Anniversary meet
ing last Saturday, to the striking
dye workers:

Anthony Ammirato, Roseland Ball
