To | be in a country where there are no ladies or gentlemen but every one is a friend is as rare as it is re- freshing. “I can promise the most harden- | ed advocate of private property that he will never regret a visit to Rus- sia, and his personal possessions will be far safer than in Chicago, Paris or London.

Come | betray the silk strikers is to unloose SILK STRIKERS TIE UP DOHERTY TEXTILE MILL (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONED tire force turned back and the her- oic publicity mongers ran like rats. Very soon the militant pickets of the N. T. W. U. approached the mills. At that time the A. F, of L. strike breakers vd their Lovestoneite yenchmen informed the Paterson po- lice that the militant pickets were coming. A whole army of policemen were thrown around the plant cut- ting off every approach to the Do- herty mill. The militant picket line | of the N. T. W. U., however, suc- ceeded in getting through in many spots. The Doherty workers laid down their tools and the mill now is shut tight. The police who were very gentle with the A. F. of L. so-called pickets were extremely brutal in attacking the pickets of the N. T. W. U. One group of pickets was almost run down by the motorcycles and cars of the Police thugs recruited from the slums of Jersey City and elsewhere. They selected especially a young picket leader and striker, Morris Liss. Ho was isolated by the police as they attacked a small group of pickets who defended themselves heroically, beating him into unconsciousness and rushed him off to jail. The In- ternational Labor Defense is doing everything possible to develope a wide-spread protest against this bru- tal attack as well as against the vici- ous attack of the Paterson police upon two Negro workers last Thurs- day evening. A mass protest meeting is planned by the I. L. D. for thts Wednesday night at Turn-Hall, at Cross and El- lison Streets, the strike headquarters. When the I. L. D. attorney called the police captain for information on the charges and the bail set, he was refused any information. The I. L. D. Secretary, Kushins! was thrown out of the police jail when he inquired about the charges against Liss. This police brutality is an indication that the A. F. of L and Associated strike-breakers to- gether with the bosses and the “so- cialist” party leaders ate rushing through their sell-out agreement and betrayal of the silk strikers. Part of their plan to sell out and the most vicious police attack on the militant N. T. W. which is exposing the shameful betrayal of the A, F. of L. and arousing the workers of Paterson to repudiate this sell-out agreement, to refuse to go back to work until all the strike demands are won and until the bosses are com- pelled to recognize the only militant textile union that fights for the in- terest of the dye and silk workers, the National Textile Workers Union. From reliable sources, it is learned that the official sell-out agreement between the leaders of the A. F. of L., Gitlow & Co, the bosses end the “socialist” party, will be announced this Wednesday. These strike-break- ers after the complete collapse of their farce at Doherty mills which was intended to fool the ° workers into believing that they are actually putting up some kind of a fight in order to facilitate their treacherous agreement and sell-out, are rushing through with their betrayal. They are also ready to sell out the strike as soon as possible to head off the militant strike movement among the dye workers lead by the N. T. W., to get the Paterson strik- ers back to work in order to smash also the militant fight of the Allen- town strikers who are reforming their mass picket lines under the in- spiration of the N. T. W. in repudi- ation of the strike breaking leader- ship composed of the U. T. W., the Musteites and the “socialist” party. The most enthusiastic mass meet- ing of the strike led by the N. T. W. was held this morning at Turn- Hall which was addressed by many rank and file strikers who are de- termined to strengthen the mass picket lines around the dye shops, to pull the Weideman shop, to butld the N. T. W. in every shop, in every silk mill and dye house, to complete- ly expose and smash the treacherous betrayal agreement of the A. F. of L., Associated, Gitlow and “social- ist” party strike-breaking associ- ation and to continue the struggle with greater militancy. : « Ns “THoKKN San! as Fog, sf ? 7 te e a Coan Gace: Work Seamer Fe, honasnore sey TweLe MYATTUDE HAS CHANGED.

On the vague description she was able to give of the robber, the police of Leonia and Englewood, together with ku klux elements, haye organ- ized posses and are carrying out wholesale arrests of Negro workers. ‘Those arrested are being put through a brutal third degree in the effort to force them to confess to the robbery.

The workers listened attentively to the | | | | | | speakers, some of them Young Pioneers. The mass meeting ended enthusiastically. Up till now the po- lice had remained passive, only un- successfully attempting to stop work- |ers from joining the parade, as they marched back to headquarters fol- lowing Young Communists bearing placards. 7 A patrol wagon was called from police headquarters in a vain effort | to disperse the crowd, whieh had grown during the attacks.

The meeting started with about 100 pre- sent.

Comrade Sepesy who was supposed to speak next just stared when four cops on motor cycles raced through the workers followed by 12 cars full of cops who started beating up Sepesy.
