Cole was a militant worker, and had been on strike with the workers of the Levine silk shop, During the general silk strike Cole was active} on the picket line, being arrested sev- eral times. Cole never complained about his desperate need, but one day he came into strike headquarters noticeably broken up, and his eyes red with cry- ing. His eight-months-old baby boy had died of pneumonia and Cole did not have enough money to procure a doctor before its death, and no money for a decent burial after its death. Cole denied himself all but a sand- | wich or so a day to keep his wife and remaining two children from im- | mediate starvation. His health brok- | en and his strength undermined by | the long siege of hunger, Cole fell} sick and managed to get into the hospital Sept. 10, from which he did not return alive, Cole's widow and two small chil- dren, utterly destitute and penniless, are in desperate straits now. ‘The National Textile Workers Un- ion yesterday sent out an appeal to all workers and organiations to aid | starchers other workers would also for united action.
