 Union headquarters are al Char lotte. A big group ot organizers, representing the federation, the United Textile Workers and half a dozen international unions are sta tioned here.
 After the field surrounding Char iotte has been thoroughly worked headquarters will be moved to Col umbus, Ga,
 Organizers are looking forward to a stiff fight. The southern states af- fected are looked upon as non-union strongholds. Employers are said to be strongly antagonistic to unioniza- ton. AM
 McMahon and other union leaders say industrial abuses exist in non- union districts which only organiza- tion can cure. They say that:
 Workers are getting a low wage that does not permit them to care for their children or save money.
 Girls between II and 20 are work ing from GO to 66 hours weekly.
 Company houses are Cramped and provided with poor sanitation or nc sanitation at all.
 Tuberculosis Is ravaging industrial communities because of long hours and poor sanitation.
 But these conditions are not uni versal," McMahon said. "Therc arc many ideal mills ill the south and ideal company villages. There arc many fair and enlightened employ CTS.
 "While the south is frequently charged with violating child labor laws not single case of violation of the I4-year-old federal statute has come to our attention"
 Sixty per cent. of the textile work CTS are women between II and 20 McMahon says. The trades included under textile workers are loom fix CTS, weavers, spinners, carders, pick CTS and fnishers. Ninety-ninc per cent. are native-born Americans.
 We are prepared to keep up this organization work for four years, ii necessary" McMahon says. "Scventy- two international unions will aid by loaning organizers.
 "Already oo,ooo southern workers have been organized. Employers are beginning to use the blacklist to block our efforts"
