Foster and Robert Pace, organizer of the National Tex- tile Workers Union at the Haugari Hall on Friday, Sept. 18. The for- mer silk strikers listened seriously and attentively to the analysis made by Foster of the ‘treacherous be- trayal of the silk strikers by the United Textile Workers. Bill Murdoch, national secretary of the NTWU, Foster and Pace also exposed the role of the Socialist Party that influenced and controlled the strike. The mill bosses after the betrayal by the NTWU are now continuing to cut wages as much as 1-2c to Ic per yard. Workers have shown that after working for two full weeks they made only $23. The workers agreed that the conditions in the mills will call for another strike on the part of the workers against the starvation wages, under the leadership of the National Textile Workers Union. Many Are Jobless The unemployment situation in Allentown especially among the silk workers is becoming especially acute. Many former silk strikers are black- listed for their militant activity. Michel Burd of the Workers In- ternational Relief that helped the strikers during the strike addressed for the development of the activities of the local branch of the WIR. The board of directors of the Harugari Hall agrees to give the hall free to the WIR for its activities and meet- ings. The meeting adjourned with the determination on the part of the betrayed silk workers to build the National Textile Workers Union. A collection of $14.83 was made at the meeting.
