Title from item or accompanying material.
The layout is landscape and is bordered in black. It reads at the top: “A proclamation!” and then in red “Is Massachusetts in America?” There is a picture of militiamen pointing bayonets at a crowd with a caption that reads “Ready to plunge the bayonets into woman’s blood. Military law declared in Massachusetts! Habeas Corpus denied in Massachusetts! Free speech throttled in Massachusetts! Free assemblage outlawed in Massachusetts! Unlawful seizure of persons in Massachusetts! Unwarranted search of homes in Massachusetts! Right to bear arms questioned in Massachusetts! Mill owners resort to dynamite plots and violence in Massachusetts! Militia hired to break strike in Massachusetts! Innocent people killed by Militia in Massachusetts! Militia ordered to shoot to kill in Mass.! Unusual bail and fines exacted in Massachusetts! Corporations control administrations in Mass.! The striking textile workers of Lawrence, Massachusetts are confronted with the above described conditions. They are making a noble fight for an increase of wages and to prevent discriminations against the members of the organization carrying on this strike. To abolish a pernicious premium system inaugurated for other purpose than the speeding up of already overworked toilers. If you want to assist the strikers send funds to Joseph Bedard, 9 Mason Street, Franco-Belgian Hall, Financial Secretary Textile Workers Union Lawrence, Massachusetts”.
