Page Two VIWU CALLS MASS RALLY TO ACTON THE PROPOSALS OF STRIKE COMMITTEE ions Take Additional Step in Attempt o Break Paterson Textile Strike he AFL. The fF that the workers are eut- t impor elterms of DEFEND TEXTIL THUGS’ ATTACK ON CLARA HOLDEN, Greenville, S. C. Police Enter Denial in Face Of Evidence GREENVILLE, S. C., Sept. 8—In an effort to cover up the brutal at- tack by mill supers on Clara Holden, organiser of the National Textile Workers Union. the local police are trying to deny that Comrade Holden was kidnapped by five mill thugs and taken to the outskirts of Greenville and brutally whipped. Several witnesses have testified that they heard Comrade Holden cry out as she was dragged into a car by the five thugs. made an affidavit that she~ bears many terrible bruises on her body. But the police are still trying to deny that the outrage occurred. The phy- sician’s affidavit, made by Dr. J. W. McLean, declare: “To whom it may concern: This is to certify that I have examined Mrs. Clara Holden and find nu- merous bruises, some as large as a yn’s hand and others of lesser size, on her hips and thighs. Small- er bruises were found on her left arm and front of thighs. No frac- ture of bones or other injuries were noted.” On account of the indignation of Greenville workers, the boss press has been forced to give space to the attack, and even to make gestures of condemning the outrage. One of the boss papers, the Greenville Piedmont ee ses fear that the P on Ci ide Holden will en- rage the workers but in the same breath declares that militant labor organizers who spread radical eco- nomic doctrines “have neither consti- tutional nor legal protection. Agi- tators who spread them are public enemies; prison cells are built for people like that.” The attack on Comrade Holden is | part of the boss offensive to cut wages and terrorize the white and Negro work of Greenville into Spineless acceptance of their terrible conditions. These attacks will not succeed. The workers realize their purpese, realize that the bosses are afraid of their organized strength and are trying to prevent them from organizing into the National Textile Workers Union. p.m. , 7:80 Browansivile for and Inter, Labor Defens will ho Mooney Pitkin Aye. : meeting t Bristol st Freinds « fet Union, ville. nbership t,at 8 p.m Br will hold at 12 Crown Stree Orr will speak meeting FSU West Bronx old a mass Branch meeting at 11 W. 8 p.m. William wi Ma.

The NTW reported this morning a nt at the Kaufman Silk Co. ed and both the shop com- pittee and the union were recognized the boss. The shop committee and ne of the workers will keep a close check up to see that all the the settlement are main- Like all of the other agree- ments made by the NTWU not only did the won their demands. These settlements of the NFWU are in shar ts of the AFL union. The AFL ons make a public agreement with the boss while they have a secret agreement with him at the same time to pay the old rates to the weavers while the other crafts are sold out completely. Role of AFL Leaders Seen The workers are realizing more and more the strike breaking role that the AFL-Muste-Gitlow have been playing and are still playing. These |misleaders rushed shop after shop back on a fake settlement and sent the workers of many more shops af- filiated with them back to work without any settlement at all. The |NTWU warns the strikers that the | AFL leaders have already made | agreements with the bosses to send | the strikers back to work at 5 cents |and 51-2 cents. This exposes com- pletely the hypocrisy of the APL |leaders who have called a meeting | for tonight to get the workers to yote |on settling the strike on a six cent | basis. NTWU Prevented Complete Sell-Out After the Roseland Hall meeting jof two weeks ago Muste, Gitlow and Budenz sent the workers back on the terms that their own membership | meeting had yoted down. It was the NTWU that prevented the complete | sell-out of the strike by these mis- | leaders. The meeting of the AFL to- |night is for the purpose of complet- jing the sell-out so that the bosses |may force longer hours and teh six loom system on the workers. This is the same policy followed by the | Muste leaders in the hostery strike | where they put through a 50 per cent wage cut together with an intense speed up of the workers. | The special mass meeting Thurs- day night of the United Front Gen- |eral Strike Committee 1s the mobil- |ization of the silk workers against the sell-out policy of the AFL agents of the bosses. LAUNDRY TOILERS, DEFY THUG RULE Will Break Union Workers Warned Fearing they were losing control of | their racketeer-controlled union, the officials of the Greater New York | Laundry Workers’ Union brought in |a squad of gangsters at last Thurs- | day’s meeting to intimidate the rank | |and file and to add votes for the |racketeers. Although the thugs |openly paraded around the hall showing their intentions by toying | with a bottle or the chairman's gavel. Many workers took the floor in spite of them, A story came to light that a fourth worker in the Pretty Laundry was |fired without this racketeer union outfit taking even as much as notice | of it, Members are wondering if the sang has agreement with same | bosses not to touch their shops. When | another worker was fired last week, the workers in the shop already de- | moralized, completely lest confidence in the union. The union officials made speeches against supporting this shop because some of the work- |ers expressed lack of confidence in the union, If they cannot control the union the racketeers threaten to break it up. At present they are scheming to put over a deal with some bosses to sign contracts with the understand- ing that they would not have to live up to them and in this way the gangsters expect to force the asso- ciation to give them a sum of money to break up the union. The Laundry oWrkers’ League, af- filiated with the Trade Union Unity League, warns the laundry workers that they must take away the con- trol of the union from the gangsters before it is too late.

It points out that this new maneuver, in which they are assisted by the Lovestoneites who have been driven by the workers from their ranks because of their treach- ery, is just a desperate effort to re- yive the bankrupt Joint Council which has been repudiated by the workers through their struggles un- der the leadership of the Industrial Union. The Industrial Union calls on the fur workers to answer the fake peace maneuvers by intensifying the drive to organize shops and improve the conditions of the workers. Shop Delegate Council Meets Thurs At the meeting of the shop dele- gate council of the N. T. W. I. U. Thursday, which will be representa- will be given on the accomplishments of the various drives conducted by the union in the fur, millinery trades and other trades, and a plan of fur- ther activity will be presented. There will also be a report on the | policy of the union toward the fake | peace conference organized by the | company union agents to detract the | attention of the workers from the | struggle for better conditions. Bey Gold, secretary of the union. will report. All shop delegates from union, company union and open shops are called upon to attend this meeting. | Underwear Workers Membership Meet Thursday, A meeting of the underwear work- ers will be held at 131 W. 28th St. this \coming Thursday, Sept. 10, right after work, to mobilize the workers against the widespread wage cuts carried through by the bosses with the aid of the company union agents, and against the fake strike planned 'by the Schlesinger company union in the underwear trade. All underwear workers are called upon to come to this meeting where ja clear policy for struggle will be outlined. Arrest 4 on Picket Line. A very good picketing demonstra- tion was carried through this morn- ing in front of the two striking mil- | linery shops, A. J, Engle and H. A. | Rosen. The workers fought mili- were sent to the shop accompanied | by strong armed men. A fight de- | veloped which resulted in the arrest | of 4 strikers and one of the strong- armed men, The case was adjourned and the strikers are held on bail, The strikers of both shops today issued an appeal to the members of these workers to demand a shop meeting and fight against the strike- breaking activities of the officials, to assist the girls on the picket line, de- mand the withdrawal of the gorillas, jand refuse to work with scabs. The call further points out that the out- come of this strike will affect the conditions of other workers and calls on all millinery workers to help win the strike against the Engle and Rosen firms. Another demonstration and open air meeting was carried through by |the union during the afternoon. | Mounted police attempted to break up the meeting but the workers in- | | sisted on their | meeting, right to hold the One worker was arrested.
