WORCESTER, Mass, July l.
Products of the manufacturing indus
tries in Massachusetts in 1928 at fac
tory prices were valued at $s,5s3, 2Ob,-
600, an increase of 25.S per cent over
the figure for 1921, the previous CEN
sus year.
The U. s. Census Bureaus figures
made public recently showed the ay-
erage number of wage earners en-
ployed during 1923 to be 667,75S. an
increase of 1873 per cent over 1921.
In other words, while the profits In
creased 25.S per cent, the opportuni-
ties for employment actually de-
creased in the per centage represent
ed by the difference between the in
crease of employees, 1873 per cent and
the increase in the value Of the
products turned out
The cotton goods industry led all
others in the state in both number
Of wage workers and value OF pro
ducts. The average number OF wage
workers in this industry increased
from 106,337 in 1921, to 1917 in
1928, or SO per cent, and the value Of
products from $313,S3O,OOO to $415,-
$4,000, or 1875 per cent
The above figures show. that the
textile workers in Massachusetts are
the most exploited in the state. With
an increase of only SO per cent work
ers an increase of 1926 per cent pro-
duction values were turned out.
And the poor textile bosses who
spend the winters at Palm Beach and
the summers abroad are not exploit
ing their slaves enuf so they again
cut wages 10 per cent.

OF the Amalgamated and member of
the general executive board addressed
the strikers yesterday morning.
Rosenblum told the strikers that the
entire resources of the Amalgamated
were behind them in the struggle. The
shops of the International Tailoring
company and the ]. L. Taylor com
pany in New York were emptied of
workers in five minutes he said, tho
the company officials refused the bust
ness agents permission to come into
the shops and confer with the shop
chairmen. But other means were
found of bringing the strike message
to the workers. In New York the
struck shops did not threaten a re-
duction as in Chicago. The Chicago
reduction evidently was to be the en-
tering wedge.
The Amalgamated Clothing Work
ers Union will not sign any agreement
with the struck shops unless they
agree to the Amalgamated conditions
according to statements by the strike
leaders.
Detectives Sleep With Scab
1t was reported that one fourteen
year old boy is working in one of the
scab shops. Another scab was taken
to a hotel by a detective who stayed
with the strikebreaker all night. No
work is being done in the struck shops
and the windows are painted SO that
those on the outside cannot see what
is going on inside.
Samuel Levin, manager of the Chi
cago Joint Board, branded the United
Garment Workers officials as scabs
and strikebreakers in a statement to
the Federated Press. The same news
agency quotes George Slater of the
United. as saying: IF trying to or
ganize that shop under the American
Federation of Labor is scabbing and
strikebreaking, l am proud of it,"
s The Amalgamated picket line is
holding up admirably. The strikers
are gaining enthusiasm and in deter
mination to win. Such a spirit knows
no defeat.

mouth. In the meantime the French
government, which is the servant of
the French ruling class, will wipe out
its internal debt as the German
government did.
THIS, is the beauty of having such
4 thing as a government in your
hands. It's a mighty convenient tool
Things may look bad for the ruling
class, but with a government they can
pull off many tricks and stave off the
inevitable. Radicals who spurn the
idea that the workers should not
bother about getting control of the
government are all wrong. Until the
French workers get control Of the
French government after the Rus
sian fashion the initiative will be with
the capitalists.
A LII this shows how chaotic in
4 4 dustry is under capitalism. Despite
the backwardness of Russia before the
revolution, that country is making
rapid strides forward. The big in
dustries are owned by the govern
ment. There is increasing efficiency
and there is a centralized authority
that plans for industry as a whole.
The introduction of more efficiency in
methods of production, will not in
troduce more chaos as happens in
countries where individual manufac-
turers and trusts are only concerned
with their own particular interests
but more wealth and leisure for the
producers.

Mrs. O'Hare means the labor of slaves

THE Labor World is one of the most

munism in the United States. 1t
never misses an opportunity to sland-
-er the radicals and parrots the anti
revolutionary connections of the cap
italist press with great glee. 1t poses
as the defender of simon pure trade
unionism. But like every paper of
its kind it is shameless prostitute
and peddles its principles for cash
never turning down a dollar no mat
ter where it comes from. Compare
its conduct with that of the DAILY
WORKER. Whatever else our enemies
may say about US, they can never
bring forward one bit of evidence to
prove that we ever said a good word
for the enemies of labor, or that we
ever ran line in our news, editorial
or advertising columns that would
give aid or comfort to the enemy or
injure the working class. Duluth work
ers should think of this when select
ing their labor paper.
DUT while on the question of prison
- contract labor, a word about Mrs
O'Hare's campaign will not be out of
place. This lady was once a socialist
and no doubt is still one, after a
fashion. But like most socialists she
seems to be trying to live down her
past. While in Duluth Mrs. OHare
visited the stores and found that
with one or two exceptions, they
were selling prison-made goods. And
what do you think was her proposal?
Call a meeting of organized labor to
formulate plans to fight this evil?
Let the lady speak for herself. Here
is what she said, as reported in the
same issue OF the Labor World, that
carried the big Yank" ad:
IT WOULD suggest that before or
ganized labor starts campaign in
Duluth against prison labor that
conference be called of manufacturers
and businessmen to discuss the ques-
ton. You will get better results in
that way than by starting an i'm
puIsive war against them" EN-
phasis ours, T. OFF, The question
now arises, who is the biggest faker,
the editor of the Labor World or
Kate Richards O'Hare? Here is the
cloven hoof Of class-collaboration
capital and labor getting together"
sticking out from under the skirts Of
this vocal foe of prison labor. Need
less to say the workers will not
abolish prison labor or any other OF
the evils thnt they suffer from by beg
ging for aid from the capitalists.
