The charges were made shortly before the 662 tex- tile strikers were scheduled to come to trial in the Superior Court on 882 charges, growing out of the long struggle of the textile work- jers against wage cuts. The new charges are that the strike leaders conspired together to “parade without a permit” and “to disturb the peace.” All effort will be made to try all these cases to- gether, The trial of these 25 lead- ers is an attempt to outlaw mili- fant unionism and to crush com- pletely the spirit of the workers by railroading to long jail terms those most active in the fight against the mill bosses, The International Labor Defense Is conducting a nation-wide protest against these new charges in New Bedford, which include charges against the most active strike lead. ers and against such leaders of working class organizations as Paul Crouch, secretary of the All-Amer- ican Anti-Imperialist League; Al- bert Weisbord, secretary-treasurer |of the National Textile Workers’ EUslon, and Fred Biedenkapp, secre- tary of the Workers
