They were taken to the Criminal Court instead of to the police court where lighter sentences are” given out. This policy of sending the, strikers of the National Textile Worker§ Union to th® severer court is quite open now, for the practice of sending them first to the police court and later getting them trans- ferred to the Criminal Court has been abandoned ‘as superfluous. This is an indication that the bosses a afraid"of the very evidence of in- | creasigg militancy of the workers, which is spreading the strike. The A. F. of L., which the As- sociation has joined, has made three so-called settlements. In*every case it is admitted that the work have already had all of the conditions be- fore going out, except the wages and here the A. F. of L. has accepted a ten per cent increase when their strike dergznds and price lists called for a 35 to 40 per cent increase for weavers only, ignoring every other craft in the shop. These workers were told that in a month the bos- es would also make favorable set- tlement with them. On the other hand the shops which were in worse conditions are not being settled but giving the lie to the bulk of the A. F. of L.-Asso- ciated that the manufacturers are flocking to them for settlement. It is known that he manufacurers are no ready to accept the price’ list of the A. F. of L.-Associated and the much heralded settlements are not materializing. Meanwhile. the strikers, under the banner of the United Front Gen- eral Strike Committee of the N. T. know these sell-outs for what they are and not one single silk worker went back into his shop on Monday. The Strike Committee has taken thorough steps to organize the picketing on a firmer basis. A com- mittee of one hundred of the most active strikers has been formed for defense purposes, for leading the line, for mobilizing the workers for the picket line, for taking care of the scabs and for resisting police at- tack, A picket card is punched in the morning and only registered Picketers will. be entitled to eat at the relief store.

Meanwhile picketing in the other dye shops continue. At the Doherty shop, the largest mill in the vicinity which came out 100 per cent in response to the N. T. W. U, picket line has again post- poned final action on where to af- filiate. Terror by company agents ong the strikers is extreme and ugh the workers want our Jead- vship, they are afraid at present to express thenvelves to this effect. The Associated-A. F. of L. has an- nounced that by unanimous vote, the workers decided to affiliate with them, but that is absolutely false. At a meeting Tuesday morning, the question will again be taken up. The mass meeting at Turn Hall this morning was packed to over- flowing with hardly any standing room left. Max Bedacht addressed the strikers in the name of the Cen- tral Committee of the Communist Party, opening his talk by bringing the greetings of the Party to the workers and pledging its support to the strikers with all the determin- ation and power at the disposal of the Party to bring the strike to a successful conclusion. He pointed out that the first condition for suc- cess is organization and also that this organization gets us nowhere unless the workers have a clear line of action. He attacked the prin- ciple of organizing the bosses with the A. F. of L. together with the As- sociated as openly adopted. He ex- plained to the workers that organ- izing the bosses is actually organiz- ing the army of our enemy. The interests of the workefs and of the bosses can never be identical and therefore it is out of the question for workers to belong to an organ- ization such as the Associated, now part of the A. F. of L., which wants to organize the bosses in order to equalize conditions for all the work- ers, Bedacht pointed out that the As- sociated’s aim of equalizing the con- ditions of means that the bosses will equalize to the lowest level and not to the highest and organizing the bosses is merely strengthening them, against the workers. Plans are being made and will be taken up finally at the General Strike Committee meeting Tuesday afternoon for attempting once more to form unity with the rank and file workers of the Associated-A. F. of L. unions. The N. T. W. U. is- sued a statement this morning at- tacking the A. F. of L. statement as merely high powered publicity to induce the workers to passivity, and warned the workers of the betrayal on the part of the A. F. of L.-As- sociated leadership. ‘The policy is to maintain an intensified drive for all rank and file workers to prevent fake settlements. The union stated that it is in favor of eraly settle- ment but only on the basis of win- ning the demands for which the strikers left theri’ shops. PLEASANT BAY PARK WESTCHESTER, N. Y.

J., Aug. 6—Last night about 11 o'clock, some Negro and white workers were going home after attending a mass protest meet- ing, over the murder of the 3 Negro workers in Chicago two days ago, when a cop who had it in for them, because he knows that they are or- ganizing Other Negro and white workers in the neighborhood, ‘ar- rested 3 of them.

Y.—In spite of the intensive agitation and propaganda carried ‘on by the socialist party in the Bronx, in which they sought to mobilize the workers in a so-called “Anti-War Demonstration,” only 163 of their members participated, who for the most part. were students, de-~ tectives and members of the under- world. Their “prominent” speakers such as Hendin, Shiplacoff and O'Neill are noted for their betrayal of the working class. When the Bronx section of the Communist Party learned of their so-called “Anti-War demonstration” from the press, they immediately mobilized themselves to expose the role of the socialist party. ‘While the parade took place, the Communist Party distributed thou- sands of leaflets to the workers and members of the socialist party. Over a hundred pamphlets were sold, also many Daily Workers. Hold Communist Meet. In spite of police interference, the Communist Party and the Young Communist League were successful in organizing a huge open air meet~ ing a half block away from the so- cialist demonstration. About 500 workers participated in this meeting. A collection was taken up and sev- cards for membership in the Commu- eral workers made out application nist Party. The meeting started at 7:30 p. m. and lasted till 11 p. m. Great enthusiasm was displayed throughout the entire meeting.
