Manyak Reiss, local secretary of the InternationalaLabor Defense, was master of the ceremonies. Her an- nouncement that Mother Jones, 96- year old veteran of many labor strug- gles had especially come to the ban- quet to greet Trumbull, again brought the’ audience to their feet. Mother Jones in a brief address made a plea for more solidarity of labor, “It isn’t your shouting and your applause that counts,” she declared, “but your ac- tions in behalf of the labor movement. That is why young Trumbull means so mtch to us.” Many Delegates Present. Many organizations had sent dele- gates to the banquet to express their i sympathy with the I. L.

Contrasted with this is the packed halls of strikers of all mills who have come together in a most friendly de- termination to spike the guns of the bosses and the capitalist press by get- ting into a union of textile workers. They have decided to fight to the bit- ter end and win the strike under the leadership’ of the United Front Com- mittee of textile workers, under the powerful ‘influence of the strikers. For weeks the workers in the Forstmatn-Huffmann plant have been aching to walkout, but the bosses have intimidated them in every conceivable way, telfing them that if they go oyt they will never bé taken back, an@ there will be no more $8.00 a week jobs for them. Force and Violence. The old cry of violence and riots have begun to,echo thruout the whole eastern part ft the country. Only in Passaic-andAhe affected towns are the workers aware of the falsehood of the capitalist press. At first when the speakers told the strikers that they would be charged with all kinds of crimes they would not believe them. Now they see the local papers as well as the big metropolitat press stooping to the low- est level in its yillification of the strikers, Mary Heaton Vorse has interviewed the police of all the municipalities in the strike district and all of them, even the captains said that the Strikers had behaved perfectly and that there had been no violence, The police say that if the bdésses behave as well as the workers there need be no trouble at any time, - Au investigation campaign will start tomorrow when Fanny Hurst and Miss Wise will start to look into the homes of the workers, Plan Investigation. A hearing by J. P. Walsh and others -is planned before long to find out if the poverty is as horrible as the strikers have described it to be. The question of wages will be sifted thoro- ly and the working conditions will be examined in a very thoro manner. Already the bosses are sorry that they did not listen to the first demands made by the original strikers. They merely wanted their wage cuts of ten per cent back, If yhey had gotten tha: the determination to use it andthe capitalists are done for.
