Led by ers’ Union, the strikers in the Columbia Silk Mill here have won a complete victory.. The boss today granted the 20 per cent wage in- crease and the eight-hour day and other demands. +» Sept. 11,— The strikers, meeting before go- ing back to work, joined the N T.W. in a body and accepted completely the program of building a live and active shop committee. This str started Monday, and was character- ized by mass picketing and deter- mination. Two A.F.L. scabs were the only ones left in the mill, and the strike of he winders forced the warpers to quit. The effect of this victory on the thousadns of others working in sur- rounding mills, at an average wage of $20 for a 50-hour week, but with | hours often running up to ten,} twelve or fourteen hours a day without increased rates for over- time, will be very great. Hundreds of these other workers cheered the Columbia strikers when the y marched from the picket line. The N.T.W. cals on workers in all mills to form mill committees and get in touch with the union for a more ex- tensive struggle soon against the intolerable conditions. “Organize and Strike Against Wage-Cuts” i the slogan of today in Paterson.

Class-conscious workers an d workers organizations are urged to raise money for this purpose, and to send in names and addresses to the M.W.LU., 121 Catherine St., of all who can accommodate delegates with beds while the conference lasts. Matters are moving fast in the port of Philadelphia.
