BIDDEFORD, Maine, July 1.-At
the opening Of the second session of
the tenth annual convention of the
American Federation of Textile Op-
eratives here Tom Bell was given the
floor on behalf of the Labor Defense
Council call for a conference in Chi
cago.
After outlining the purpose Of the
conference the convention unanimous
ly passed the following notion
"That this convention endorse the
move Of the Labor Defense Council
to create general labor defense or
ganization, and instructs the in
coming executive to cooperate with
such organization when formed"
Speed Up Efficiency.
The business agent Of the Weav.
ers' Local, New Bedford, gave re-
view of the situation confronting the
textile workers by the introduction of
the multiple loom system, and speed.
up systems introduced by efficiency
experts. The industry is undergoing
second revolution as great as that
caused by the introduction of machin-
cry thru increasing the number Of
machines per worker.
The efficiency expert has taken the
place of the boss and overseer, and
the workers are being carefully timed
in every motion to see in what mo-
tions he can be speeded up.
While thousands of workers are un-
employed mills are being worked "a
hours a day in two shifts in some
places. AS soon as orders are finish
ed the mills are shut down and the
workers join their fellows in the
streets.
Besides the savage wage cuts put
into effect during the past two years
the manufacturers are now engaged
in increasing the exploitation by
means of machinery and speedup sys-
TENS.
Unemployment Balances Speed Up.
From every textile center in New
England delegates told of this pro-
cess being carried on. They painted
word pictures of unemployment on
one hand and savage exploitation on
the other. This process was pointed
out as the great problem confronting
the textile workers.
The convention decided that the
resolutions committee be instructed
to bring in resolution on this mat
ter embodying the sentiments ex-
pressed by the delegates.
industry Largely Unorganized.
The report of the organization COM
mittee brot to the front the unorgan-
lied state of the industry. Great tex
tile centers with thousands of work
ers are practically unorganized. 1t
was decided that the incoming execu.
tive should lay plans for organizing
the unorganized.
John P. O'Connell, secretary of the
union sent in his resignation which
was accepted. The convention elected
W. E. G. Batty, secretary of the New
Bedford Loomfxers' Local as acting
secretary until elections on the last
day of the convention.

Thanksgiving Day is near-a season

established and respected custom,
