COMPANY "UNIONS"
PAY
And Establish Industrial
Democracy"

Danville, Va.-The industrial demo-
cracy of cheap labor employers func-
toned when wages of 5000 employees
of the Riverside and Dan river cotton
mill corporation were reduced.
This company "union" is based on
the theory Of the federal government,
with a senate, house and cabinet.
The wage cut proposal was called
"a bill" and was recommended to a
joint session of the senate and house
by joint committee. President
Fitzeraldg of the corporation talked
on the necessity for wage reductions
and when he concluded a vote was
called for. Nearly $50 workers and
small bosses signifed their accept
ance of lower wages by standing up,
and II risked the wrath of the large
number of company officials present
by remaining seated.
This union" has been widely adj
vertised by the company's publicity
agents and other writer's who actually
refer to it as industrial democracy"
The corporation has made tremen-
dous profits during the last several
years, and at the first sign of let
