Headed by the slogans, “Textile Strikers Stand Firm” and “Fight to a Finish,” the following leaflet called for a turnout of tens of thousands | next Monday: “After twelve weeks of successful fighting, mm whicn the mill owners | have used every conceivable method | of breaking our fight we still stand firm. The mill owners have used all forms of intimidation, clubbed our picket lines, thrown our leaders in| jail, yet the fight goes on. Our picket lines are growing bigger. The spirit | and determination of the workers to | win is growing by leaps and bounds, | “The mill owners, because of their thirst for profits, are very anxious to open the mills. They will do every- | thing from now on until July 9th to break our strike. From now up till July 9th every worker must redouble his energy on the picket line. Not a single scab, not a single yellow-belly should enter the mills. The workers must turn out in thousands on the picket line in answer to the mill own- ers’ attempt to open the mills, “At this time we must more than ever rally eround the banner of our union, « TOALTER TEXTS circulers which are being distrib- | UTILITIES TRY IN WISCONSIN 900 Speeches Made By Power Men in 1 Year WASHINGTON, July 3 (UP)— Efforts of Wisconsin utilities inter- ests to have civies text books of pub- | lic schools revised to meet their views |were disclosed today in the Federal | Trade Commission’s investigation of the power industry.

Workers Fight Betrayal LONDON, July 3—At the annual meeting of the National Union of Railwaymen now being held in Eng- land, J. H. Thomas, secretary of the union, and the former Colonial Secre- tary in MacDonald’s Government, in- formed the railroad workers that they must “prepare themselves for a wage decrease.” This advise came after Thomas, together with other union bureaucrats, was invited to a confer- ence by the railroad companies in which he was asked to agree to a wage cut, Thomas is opposed to any move on the part of the union to fight against the proposed wage decrease and lengthening of hours. He openly de- elared that he believes a wage cut to be “inevitable.” A large section of the union is bitterly fighting against Thomas and is agitating for strike action if the proposed wage cut is put into effect.
