When the women refused to move, the state police, ‘our governor’s aid to the min- ers, threw their gas bombs and the company thugs and local police at- | tacked the women with clubs. Nobody was seriously injured but the police tore the clothes of some of the women. Some of the children received minor injuries and suffered | from the tear gas bombs thrown by | . the police. It seems that the miners’) children must learn to live on gas| instead of milk promised by the state | authorities But this does not break the spirit of the militant miners. Saturday morning, following the disorders, scores of women defied both nature and the state police, standing in a steady downpour of rain. The women stood in mud ankle deep, drenched | to the skin, giving encouragement to each other and saying that this struggle is theirs as well as their hus- thands. Mutton Hollow was the scene of mass arrests when 47 pickets were seized and brought to the county jail at St. Clairsville. All the men are out on $1,000 bond and they will be up for trial next Wednesday. The Tnternational Labor Defense is go- ing to defend the miners who are charged with rioting. Lansing is one of the most mili- tant sections of the strike area. The women and children picket the Mut- ton Hollow mine daily where the scabs are employed. Workers, men of all trades and industries, you can’t all stand on the picket line with us but you can send us relief. —WARE. PENN MILLS CUT WAGES OF LABOR By GRACE HUTCHINS, (Federated Press). ALLENTOWN, Pa., April 24. Textile wage cuts are spreading into| Pennsylvania. A 6 per cent cut has| been forced on workers in several mills of this silk city, second largest silk center in the United States. “Dwell here and prosper,” reads the chamber of commerce sign at the railroad station. There are 72 churches in the city, 100,000 popula-| tion, but only 26 public schoole. About 10,000 silk workers depend on the 60 companies which have come here because “labor is cheap in Al- lentown.” Bosses Are Prosperous. Owners prosper and live on the hill. Workers live down near the mills in little wooden, slate-colored houses, two families to a house, Few of the workers’ houses have running water; all have outside privies behind the houses and some have wells in} the backyards for water supply Many have no gas or electricity and must depend on ofl lamps for evening light, No Hour Restrictions, The Arcadia Knitting Mills, owned| hy the Reinhard Bros., employ several | hundred workers, They have another} big mill in Brooklyn, N, Y,, and! opened this Pennsylvania branch| about six months ago, Here they are not bothered by the 48-hour law for women workers, The law in Penn- sylvania allows a 10-hour day and a B4-hour week, Pay Low Wages, | Dyers in this plant are also making only $18 for a 52\G-hour week, Whon-| over there Is a rush of work they, smust do 10, 11 or 12 hours a day.' “They promise when they are hired] “that they will do thts overtime work whenever necessary, A recent pro “test among the dyers resulted in th: firing of 12 men from this depart- ment, \Charge oe Bi Ald Used C To Slug Men| (By a Worker Correspondent.) | in the Jewish sphere, the et). | Sheltering and Immigrant Aid So-} tiety (Hias) is a well-known in-| stitution.

EAGERLY WATCH TEXTILE STRIKE Lowell Workers Would Follow New Bedford (By a Worker Correspondent.) LOWELL, Mass., (By Mail).—The New Bedford mills strike is arousing no little attention in this city. The “Spindle City” is very much discussed by all the foreign sections, including the Greek, Polish, Scandinavian. Syrian and Portuguese, all of whom have relatives in the striking city. While there is practically no union existing in this city, it is evident that one could be organized within a very short time. The wages were cut last year and at present most of the mills are closed. The workers are mighty poor in Lowell where thousands are out of work and those working are getting insufficient funds. . Undoubtedly, if Fall River joins the New Bedford strikers, Lowell wil! immediately follow suit. —PATRAS. 2” provide for the welfare of the peo-| | ple. || When workers who are members| | "EAGAN, “LABOR” BOSS, WARS ON MINERS’ RELIEF) | | Connecticut Federation Thousanda of Official Prev ents Aid al (By a Wo: a Corres pondent) WATERBURY, Conn., (By Mail).} —One of the bi st jobs we ever kled for helping the miners is or. ganized in the Ohio-Pennsylvania ’ Relief Committee with its ers in Pittsburgh.

A year ago I made an attempt to join the Hebrew-American Typo- graphical Union, Local 88, and, as I expected, I was rejected. They are not interested in having more mem- bers for the same reasons that they are not interested in organizing non- union ‘shops. About 90 per cent of the membership of Local 83 are work- ing in the Jewish newspapers and are leading a king’s life. Their aver- e wage is over $100 a week for a -week year. I hear that 30 members of Local 83 are out of work because their “brothers” on the newspapers don’t give them a chance to work. And these thirty are at present conducting a campaign to get the overtime to which the constitution of the Interna- tional guarantees them.
