Title from item or accompanying material.
Item reads: Don’t be a scab. This strike is won if you the workers stay out as you are doing. The arrest of Ettor and others is simply proof of the desperation of the bosses. Instead of breaking the strike, it has only strengthened the workers determination to get what is do them. Various committees have investigated the strike. Their reports state that all, or part of the demands of the strikers are justified. Governor Foss in a statement to the New York Journal of Commerce says in effect, THE MILL MEN ARE TO BLAME! Workers the country over are aroused and support is pledged and given. Not only that: but Textile Workers in this State, and in plants of the American Woolen Co., in at least two states WILL STRKE within two weeks if necessary. Bring all cases of distress to the attention of the Relief Committee. See all who are at work and induce them to stay out. Show them that their actions mean increased misery to themselves and children; and that SCABS in this strike are TRAITOR to their families and class. The strike cannot be lost. Who will come here to replace strikers at $6.00 per week? ATTEDND MEETINGS. DON’T BE A SCAB. An injury to one is an injury to all. Strike Committee.
