Power of Union. “The five percent ¢hat has been returned, has been won by the work- ducted by the New Bedford Textile Workers Union. There is no doubt but that it was the formation of the New Bedford Textile Workers Union and the militant fight con- ducted by it that really forced the employers to return the five percent taken from their wages last April. It will be the same in Fall River. |of New York and this evening they to come. Mill organizations must be built up as soon as possible. The strike committee must be trans- formed to the city executive commit- tee of the local union, every step must be taken to build a sound stable structure that will be able to carry on the obligations resting on the new union. For this purpose all workers should report to the union headqyarters at once just where they can be established and organization work begun. “Build Union.” “That National Council calls on the workers to build the union as the only guarantee that the employ- ers will not cut wages again. In- deed there is every indication that this is the understanding between the labor officials of the textile coun- cil and the bosses, that wages will be cut again and.a great speed-up introduced. Only the New Bedford Textile Workers Union, strong and well established will be able to guar- antee that the bosses will not again worsen conditions and that the work- ers will be able to improve their standards. “We also wish to point out that the ruling class means to jail and imprison all of the active workers and organizers of the new union. On November their trial takes place. We call on all the workers to rally to the defence of the workers im- prisoned during the strike, to build) a powerful movement that will free our best fighters for union work. “The relief must also be main- tained. After the strike there will be hundreds if not thousands of workers in great need of relief.

The main task is to build) the union, the New Bedford local of | the National Textile Workers Union, | italist system of exploitation and | to organize more solidly textile work- | ers for the new struggles that are sities of life. “The New Bedford strike has shown to the textile workers again the powerful enemies that the work- ers have to overcome. The National | Textile Workers Union pledges its utmost to carry on this class strug- gle to the end, until the whole cap- | oppression is finally ended.
