Columbia, March 13.-The anti

HELP FOR
TEXTILE
STRIKERS
Gonpers Says the Fed
GRAFTON Will Support
Them to the Last
Ditch Speaks to
Thousands

Providence, r. T.. March 12.-
The American Federation Of La
bor will stand firmly behind the
textile strikers of New England in
! their fight against wage reduc-
tons and increased working hours,
Samuel Gompers, president of the
federation, declared here tonight,
addressing a meeting of several
thousand persons. Speaking to an
audience of 5000 in Pawtucket in
the afternoon Mr.. Gompers. who
is touring the textile areas of New
England where strikes are in pro-
gress, gave similar pledge on be-
half of his organization.
Come what may" said Mr..
Gompers, "thes Unitde Textile
Workers Of America can count on
the American Federation OF Labor
to stand behind them TO the fullest
; extent Of its power and the
American Federation has q mem
bership Of 100000. These mem
bers,s with their wives and chill
dren represent .25 per cent Of the
population of the United States.
The American Federation Of Labor
will exert every. effort ungrudg-
ingly. cordially and enthusiastical-
ly to help the textile strikers TO
at least get bread during their
struggle.
The labor leader declared that
textile workers knew. if few other
people. did, that about year ago
wages in this industry were cut
% 10 per. cent. They knew cost Of
living. had. not. been reduced when
that cut was put into effect. To-
day a further reduction of 90 per
cent was offered. mill owners
thinking that, because the first cut
was accepted with. little more than
q murniur, the second would be
accepted '-in actual silence" In
addition to the new wage reduction
mill owners proposed to extend the
forty-eight hour week 10 ffty-four
hours.
Men and women Of the labor
ing class who accept every kick
that is given. them are treated. rs
yellow curs are treated" declared
Mr.. Gompers. Il have read that
the manage of one Of the mills in
Rhode Island said the state must
protect it sindustries." he contin-
ued. II was always under the
impression that the paramount
duty OF the state was TO protect its
people. Mill owners say that un-
der existing conditions it is i'm
possible for them to compete with
ffle mills OF the south. Much has
been said in reply to that claim.
The fact that the textile industry
in the suoth is largely owned and
controlled by northern capital is
incontroverible. No attempt yet
has been made TO dispute that
fact.
