tics of the U. T. w. leaders. No
agreement or negotiation should be
considered which is not handled by
the workers elected united front
mill committees and ratified by all
the strikers themselves.
U. T. w. Continues Splitting
The U. T. w. leaders continue to
pursue policy Of splitting. They
have conferred with Governor
Green Of Rhode Island (NIacNdahon
and sylvia and in towns such as
Lawrence, New Bedford and Lowell.
have conferred with the city and
police officials. In these confer
ences they have acted as informerS
against militant workers las in
LowelD pointing out REDS" to the
police. They have throughout the
entire New England field entered
voluntarily into agreements with
the police and the authorities to
limit pickets to a few and have
agreed to abandon mass picketing.
In New Bedford they are giving
relief only to those U. T. w. MEM
bers who have been in the union a
year. They agreed in Rhode Island
in advance to the calling out of the
National Guard and to deputiZing of
an army of Legionaires and armed
deputies. MacMahon, Sylvia. Riv-
iere and all the other U. T. w. top
leaders have been the 1oudest in
whipping up the Red scare against
militant pickets. Like Hearst and
Governor Green, they called the
militant strikers ''hoodlun1s and
vandals."
Plan Individual Settlements
Now these U. r. w. leaders have
gone a step further They now are
planning to break up the strikers
by individual settlements not based
on united action of the sections of
the strike and not based on the ma
tional demands.
The so-called attack of the
U.T.W. leaders on General Johnson
is merely smoke-screen to hide
the attempted splitting of the strike
which is nearing. The attack on
johnson is an attempt to hide the
fact that German and MacMahon
and the entire U.T.W. national
leadership are again preparing to
accept arbitration, that is, to send
the workers back before their de-
mands are won and agreeing in
advance to accept as final deci-
sions of Roosevelts mill-owners' ar
bitration boards.
Protests Urged
In view of the greatly increased
terror, and the attempt Monday to
open the mills under troop protec-
ton, the entire working class Of the
country should intensity its protest
against the sharp terror. Hundreds
of armed guards, called "vigilantes"
openly in the papers, are patrolling
highway and mill towns as well as
mills. In Salem, Fall River, Sayles-
vile and Woonsocket as well as else
where, the mill owners are making
a concerted drive to open the mills
Monday, under the protection Of the
guns of these troops and guards.
Especially important in view of
this terror, are supporting actions
from workers and organizations in
o Their industries. Sympathetic
strikes must answer increased ter
ror this week.
The Red scare" RACES undated
especially in Rhode Island. 1t was
announced in Providence that many
Federal agents and Federal immi-
grafton authorities are aiding Gov
ernor Green in his red" hunt. The
Red scare" aided by Sylvia and
Mcmahon of the U.T.W. is being
intensified in order to stifie mass
picketing and get the mills open
and break the strike. Governor
Green is being flooded with pro-
tests against the terror of his troops
but greater protest must be made
by the workers throughout the
country.
