They therefore asked that | 0 per cent wage cut stand if “workers wanted the Frieder plan.” This was done in order to give the Batty gang an opportunity | to refuse to settle “unless the wage! cut is rescinded.” The ranks of the mill owners are| not holding out, however, since they| see that the workers would have nothing of either “plan.” Now rum-| ors are circulating that a five per cent cut and the speed-up would be| satisfactory to the employes, again giving the agents of the bosses in! the council an opportunity to “assail the five per cent cut.” Workers Defy Betrayers. The tens of thousands in the} struggle, however, are not only de-| monstrating their defiance to what-| ever “pact” Batty may arrive at, by| increasing their picketing, but the) demands raised by the Textile Work- | ers’ Union leadership are gaining) in power since the organization of} the new National Textile Workers’ | Union in New York. | As to the imminent publication of | the so-called report of the Board of Conciliation and Arbitration, leaders of the left wing union expect it to be a mud-slinging attack on the Tex- tile Mill Committees leadership. Srtikebreaking Weapon. The militants in the strike have,| however, always warned the strik- ers that the investigation is a fake,) and that it is instead a scheme planned by the bosses to be used by them as a strikebreaking weapon at a moment when things look bad for) the success of their strikebreaking efforts. Three picket lines operated at the} Page Mill this morning, more work- ers being in the lines than in recent} weeks. Nearly every other mill had| a smaller patrol of pickets guard-| ing the gates, but even the capitalist papers admit that the turnout of pickets shows a marked increase} this morning. Police were there in) great numbers, but did ,not inter-| feré. Published police reports con-| fess that the same amount of peo-; ple are entering the mills now as have been going in to date. These are admittedly petty foremen and straw bosses. The Textile Workers’ Union also} announced from its headquarters! that it has secured a lease on aj vacant lot in the vicinity of the) Page Mill. The reason given is that| the lot was obtained to provide a} haven for pickets driven away from| the Page Mill by the police.
