IHey nave gwen New England
labor a long dose of unem-
ployment and part time. Now
they say this will continue to
grow worse unless a reduction
in working standards is ac-
cepted.
If present conditions continue, say
the mill owners thru their chief coun
sci, w. F. Garcelon, wages must be
reduced. They hold it unfair for one
state to be saddled with a 48-hour
week while competing states have
anywhere from 81 to so hours. And
then as a sop to the sentimental
they add that they would have no OBJ
lection to national 48-hour law
which would put all manufacturers
on the same footing.
Latest reports show Massachusetts,
mills operating thruout December at
only 500 of single shift capacity
while mills in South Carolina were
operating enough overtime to bring
their average to So over single shift
capacity. Southern states with 49,
747,046 spindles reported over four
million spindle hours while New Eng
land 18,862,001 spindles only report
ed two and three-quarters billions
hours of activity during the month.
From all parts of Massachusetts,
come reports of increasing curtail-
ment. Fall River reported decreased
output for the first week in February.
Mills at Saundersville and Lolwood
have reduced activity from 40 hour.

Daily Worker Makes Big Hit
With North Dakota Farmers
By JOSEPH MANLEY.

Secretary Federated FaTmeF-LaDOr Party
A the Bismarck, NJ D., convention of the North
A Dakota Non-Partisan League the DAILY WORKER
created little short of sensation. The issue Of Wednes-
day. Feb g. which featured front analysis of the
North Dakota situation and appealed to the delegates
acted as real stimulant to the few mtants in the
vention. The general comment was: THE paper that
publishes that kind of stuff knows what it is talking
about"
1t was interesting and instructive to note the enthu
of the farmers for the account of the big New York
Lenin meeting carried in another issue that reached
them. They were overoyed to learn that such tremen
demonstration of city workers could take place 1t
may be surprise to many, to quote sxfooter: 1--we
had enough damn democracy, three years in the
army fighting for it, now am bankrupt, without home
I've lost my wife. Pm ready to fight yes fight for
the dictatorship of the proleSa<iat'
"A few more stunts like this the part of the DAILY
WORKER and it will be the map in North Dakota
The farmers particularly the bankrupts ready to
accept increasing numbers the Communist analysis of
their conditions and the leadership that it entails.

per day from the taxes of the rich.
The burden of taxation is borne by
the little fellow, who cannot hide his
home or real estate.
Please have your enquiring reporter
call upon the board of review. /
believe that Mayor Dever has been
asked to do so, by enforcing the tax
laws, but he is not in position to
act. 1t is reported on good authority
that the campaign contributions Of
both the Democratic and Republican
parties are deducted by the obliging
board of review from assessed taxes.
While the Mayor is personally honest,
it would be- difficult for him to
change this happy custom.

Calendar of the NeLU
Time Is Issued by
Italian Federation

The Italian Federation of the
Workers Party has just issued a beau
tifully illustrated calendar for 1924.
The calendar is called the calendar
of the New Time"
A page is devoted to each month
and each page has two or three well
chosen illustrations that try to tell a
connected story for the month. Altho
the Italians are serious revolutionists
they find a place for a few humorous
pictures.

tons are reported at Winchenden
Springs and Glen Aldne. Meanwhile
investment of New England capital
in the south continues. Remarking
on it the National Bank of Commerce
said:
Bankers Tell Why.
"Recent purchases of southern
mills by New England interests and
more especially the actual transfer
Of complete mill equipment from the
north to the south have emphasized
the acceleration of a movement
which has been under way since at
least the beginning of the century.
The tendency for cotton manufacture
ing to make larger gains in the cotton
growing states than elsewhere in the
United States is partially due to
greater accessibility Of the raw mate
rial but more important than this has
been lower taxation and cheaper labor
costs. Not only are the wage scales
lower in the south but the working
hours are longer. The change may
in fact be identified as part of the
worldwide movement of the cotton
textile industry to seek locations
where lower labor costs prevail"
The worldwide movement here re-
ferred to includes the investment of
British and American capital in the
growing textile industry of China
and India where workers toll for 10
or Is cents day and where 16 hours
