President Textile Workers SAYS
Cotton Manufacturers Prac-
tice InhuTnan Treatment.

AsHEVILLE, N. c., July 14.-Tex-
tile mill owners and their newspapers
are angry because the A. F. OF. l..
convention asked congress to probe
southern textile mills. at the request
Of the Textile Workers union. The
mill owners and their press have re-
sorted to the usual mud-slinging tao
tics. They say unionists want to start
an industrial war.
Thomas F. Mcmahon, president of
the United Textile Workers union, re-
plies in the Asheville Advocate that
there is no desire on our part to
start an Industrial war, and we only
took action when intolerable condi-
tions were forced upon us by the most
drastic wage reductions experienced in
the history of the industry.

auctions have meant to the work.

what I am telling you is true or false.
Go to Albemarle and see the same
thing. Go to Concord and inquire
about the father and mother whose
babe died, and because the parents
stayed away from the mill to lay the
little cold form in it's grave, that
father and mother lost their bonus,
amounting to about SAT in the two
weeks period.
go to Kannapolis and find out
about the little girl who went to a
dentist for 80 minutes and had an
aching tooth treated. Because Of that
she lost her bonus, amounting to SO.
These things happened in the Cannon
mills, and we are accused Of being
agitators when we refer to them.

INDIANAPOLIS, July 14.-Anti
union elements who ignore the spirit
Of organized labor could read with
profit the report of Van A. Bittner,
representative of the United Mine
Workers, in charge of the recent Ala
b. la coal strike.
Tho unionist reprints this letter
from two little girls at Cordova:
1--WE two little girls had to quit
school because we have no shoes. Mr..
Bittner, our dear daddy is a real union
man and mamma and us wouldn't let
him scab If we never got any shoes.
We surely thank the union for what
it has done for US. If you can do
anything for us we will never forget
1t and If you can't, we are in the strike
to win, just the same"
"From the reading Of this pathetic
letter." says Bittner, lit can easily be
seen why it was necessary to distribute
shoes and. clothing to the striking
miners and their families
Ninety-nine per cent Of these min
ers live in company shacks that are
declared a. disgrace to civilization.

Over half million pounds Of pro-

among the $4,000 men, women and
children during the strike. The union
distributed these provisions through
one central agency at Birmingham to

The union also cared for the sick
and buried the dead.

As he did so, the negro fired, the bullet taking effect in the thigh and glancing, en- tered the abdomen.
