Y.—Workers from the New York Wood Heel, 25 Quin- cy St.; Progressive Wood Heel, State and Smith Sts.; Williamsburg Wood Heel and Manhattan Wood Heel of Sanford and Myrtle Ave., are out on strike for better conditions. The conditions of the Wood Heel workers all over Brooklyn and New York are daily becoming unbearable. In the New York Wood Heel factory, the workers were getting $10 and $12 for 47 hours per week. The piece workers made only $25 to $30 a week. If any of the workers had made a little more than the above they were afraid to hand in their (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) tlements which the bosses will be forced to observe. Pioneers and Strikers’ Children March Over 100 Pioneers and children of strikers composed one section and the kids were among the peppiest singers and shouters in the line. The youth had splendid organization, cheering and carrying placards with their spe- | cial youth demands. In the women’s section, one woman pushed a baby carriage with a three month's old infant with two more pulling at her skirts. At the end of the parade af- ter three hours of marching, she was still at her post. The main body of workers in the parade was led by Jim Reid, President # the National Textile Workers Union and Robert 3,000 Silk Strikers in Parade Resist Attack of Paterson Cops the thousands inside the lot, but more workers outside the police cordon sur- rounding the lot. This meeting which was being ad- dressed by Jim Reid, I. Amter and Robert W. Dunn, was still in pro- gress as we went to press. Workers Resist Fake Settlements The militancy and determination to halt the fake settlements of the U. T. W.-Associated on the part of the strikers following the N. T. W. U. is making itself felt to the settlement committee of the fake union. Prompt action in throwing picket lines about, the shops in which the workers were forced back on fake settlement called a halt temporarily to such settle- ents. Two such picketed shops are out again in response to our picket line, signal for the beginning of a sell-out. Now Bert Miller, famed for his re- cent blatant sell-out of the White Plains construction workers, has come into the Paterson situation which means, of course, that the A. F. of L.Associated union is com- pleting plans for this sell-out. They know the right man for the job— Bert Miller, 67 Strikers on Trial. The defense situation is getting ; more sesrious every day. On Friday | morning the 67 picketers who have j been arrested in the course of this { week at the Streng Dye Shop come up in the Criminal Court for trial, charged with disorderly conduct. A more serious charge has been lodged against Jack Verner, who was sar- rested during the first week of the strike at the Weideman Dye Shop on a charge of assaulting the police. As @ result of the beating he got nearly three wecks ago, Verner still has swollen hands, swollen ears and a large hole in the back of his head He was attacked from the rear while American Legion Meet Subject of Discussion at WESL Regular Meet The eoming American Legion con- vention to be held in Detroit, Sép« tember 8 to 22 and the role of the Legion as a strike-breaking organ- ization of the employers will be the main topic of discussion at the reg- ular meeting .of the Workers Ex- Servicemen’s League Friday, August 14, at 8 pm. at their headquarters, 79 Hast 10th St. The meeting opens at 8 p.m. and all ex-servicemen are invited to at- tend and join in the discussion which will also cover the work of the or- ganization.

Suddenly everything was turmoil and confusion. Workers were being slugged left and right by police clubs. Women ran shrieking down the street in every. direction, with police chasing them madly with trom behind and strangled them un- til they were blue in the face. One cop threw a chain around a worker's neck and drew it tight un- til the worker almost choked. Com- rade B. Salzburg was brutally beaten up when she began resisting the at- tacks of the police. A blow from a fist felled her to the ground and her daughter, going to“ her aid, was thrown into the waiting patrol wag- on, The mother was thrown in after her and also four more workers. They are now held without bail until the morning, in the stinking filthy po- lice jail. “Settled Shops” Come Out The fake settlement committee evi- dently got scared for they are hold- ing the question over a day for con- sideration. At the Perfect Silk Co., the found winders and quillers in the shop were taken back at $4.50 per week below the prices demanded by our union. No shop committee exists in the shop. The boss simply got a slip from the Our picket line this morning took the workers out again and the picket line will be there every morning, until a genuine settlement is reached. It is obvious that this is having a tremendous effect on both the offi- cials and on the rank and file, the former getting snared and the latter making their demands for unity with us more insistent. This pressure on their part is so great that the offi- cials felt themselves compelled to picket one of their own settled mills yesterday; the York Silk Co., on the charge of it being a fake settlement. A stsriking proof of scabbing and Passaic and on Sunday a house to pital and the landlord threatening eviction, starving children are being fed with whatever food the relief committee can manage to get hold of. New Jersey organizations held a night to prepare affairs througout peal to the workers’ organizations throughout the country to do like- day, August 23, for the benefit of the strikers. A general conference is being planned on August 25 of all organizations for the purpose of making a concerted drive for relief. “Workers throughout the country are asked to send money and food to the relief headquarters at 39 Ellison ‘Sts Paterson, N.
