TEXTILE Mill
WORKERS TO
OPPOSE CUTS
United Front Meet Is
Called for August 4
BY TOM BELL.
Especial to the Daily Worker.)

Especial to the Daily Worker.)
LAWRENCE, Mass, July s1.-Wase
cuts affecting all workers in the WOOL
en- mills here have gone into effect.
This Is the leading wooden city in the
country and the wage cuts affect more
workers here than In any other tex
tile center. Cuts have taken place in
the huge mills Of the American Wool
en- Co., and the Arlington, kunhardt
and uswooo mills.
Last fall and winter the cotton
workers had their wages slashed until
today government figures state that
the wage for cotton worker in New
England is s17.2O a week. Having re-
duced the wages of the cotton work
ers the bosses are now out to cut
wages of the wooden workers. Great
unrest has been created here by the
recent wage cuts.
United Front Meeting August q.
The United Front Textile Commit
tee, composed of representatives of a
few local unions, has taken the initia-
tive in calling mass meeting of tex
tile workers for August 4, in the Win
ter Garden Theater to rally the work
ers for the struggle against wage cuts.
The meeting will be addressed by
Tom Bell and John Bellam, and will
be devoted to explaining to the tex
tile workers the necessity Of a mill
tant program Of struggle against the
wage cuts, and the need Of general
strike of all textile workers against
the bosses plan of crushing down
their standard Of living.
Little Union Organization.
The United Textile Workers Union
local here is very weak and is run on
the basis of Incorporation between
capital and labor" The union lead
ers spend their time hobnobbing with
the bosses advocating plans for "in-
dustrial peace.'' There is also local
of the American Federation of Textile
Operatives which has confined its &C
tivities to the cotton mills. The vast
mass of the textile workers are not
organized at all.
The textile workers of Lawrence
have a militant history, and have
struck in the past in face Of all the
powers of the capitalist state thrown
against them Their history is one OF
bitter struggle against the bosses. In
the past struggles in the textile in
dustry the lead has been supplied by
the Lawrence workers. And today il
is likely that the Lawrence workers
will again show the rest of the tex.
tile workers how to fight wage cuts.

to all trades, but in many instances
seniority rights, working schedules,
and rules enjoyed by the workers for
many years, are being violated and
abolished daily, against which the
unions in their present condition are
powerless to act. In the last four
years a reduction of $4,000 in the
total working force on the railroads
has taken place, while those remain
ing on the job are coerced into doing
extra work. Both periodic and con-
tinued unemployment is crushing
great numbers of our members. OF
the total of 100000 workers en-
ployed on the railroads at the present
time, only 100000 are now affiliated
to the 16 standard organizations, leav-
ing the vast majority of 100000
workers in no bona fide unions at all
In the face of these facts it cannot be
denied by anyone who does not blind
himself to the truth that a most criti-
cal situation exists in the railroad in
dustry
Stop Division and Retreat
"This disastrous condition was brot
about mainly because of the division
in our ranks, the lack of solidarity and
cooperation between the different
trades and the domination Of the UNI
ions by reactionary oficialdom
which has stubbornly blocked every
move forward by the membership to
solidify and strengthen our forces by
amalgamation. Against this situation,
the railroad workers must rally with
all their fighting strength. Already
$500 local unions of all 16 trades have
Endorsed amalgamation, together with
a considerable number Of division, dis.
trict and system declarations. The pol.
icy Of retreat and surrender to the
companies adopted by the officials
must be combated with all the power
Of the membership and turned into a
victorious advance. Wages of all
trades must be increased, the eight
hour day must be protected, working
conditions must be improved, the
100000 unorganized workers must be
brot into the unions, the organizations
must be governed by progressive
and militant program, and all IL
trades must be amalgamated into one
all-powerful fighting industrial union
that will be in a position to protect
the interests of all railroad workers
This is the task of the railroad anal
gamation movement. Until this is
done the railroad workers cannot hope
for relief from their present predica
ment. Nfli

THE PROMISE
Relieved of all repression, the spir-
it of Jesus leaped into the high glory
Of those later hours in which song
and talk and prayer led them to the
door of the Fathers House, gave
them a touch of its atmosphere and
left an abiding impression that makes
Johns pages the solace of the sor-
rowing centuries. 1t was under the
leaping spirit of our Lord that the
meal of memory was instituted and
He pressed into the hands of the ca
ger group a bit of a common loaf and
a bit of a common drink as an ever
lasting reminder of His sacrifcial
love. They would need to remember
Him in the stress and strain of later
days and well He knew that for them
the touch of that thrilled spirit which
He felt in His own heart was their
only hope of conquest and of the
keeping the faith across the years.
And unless that is born into the soul
of the partaker of this meal that
spans the centuries and refuses de-
feat, unless it sweeps all sense of
class or eXclusiveness or unbrother-
illness from the heart, unless it brings
the same great conservation that our
Lord was realizing in its inception,
unless it thrill the soul with praises
as it did that company in the upper
room, unless it set the feet running
in ways of righteousness and unfurls
the banner of mastery over sin within
and among men without, then it has
failed to do what Jesus designed. He
means it to bring not memory but re-
enforcement into our lives.

doing what was rightfully another's.
"Dost Thou wash my feet? Why
don't You make John do it?" is about
the position he took in the matter.
But Jesus understands boys and par
ticularly this one and John never
forgot this heart-gripping thing that
happened when his Lord took his place
in mental service for sheer love of
him. Of course Jesus used it as
teaching material for them all, but
primarily it was a Jesus-John mat
ter. Yet He touched lower depths
than the boy dreamed, for the man
who had sold Him was there and the
touch upon his feet must have carried
something wistfully wooing in the
way the fingers pressed and there
was surely some strong tug at the
heart as this knowledged Master of
his looked up into his face from the
basin. But the sting of Bethany was
too strong and his face lighted not
at all. And it isn't outside the pos
sibility to imagine that a tear drop
ped into the basin for He who sobbed
over a city would weep over soul.
THE PROCLAMATION.
The feast went on. Was it the Pass
over? We may never know, for when
scholars disagree it is time for or
binary folk not to be rashly certain.
But it was linked with that storied
past of the nation of which Jesus
was a citizen and at the very hour
when its capital was plotting His
death He was lingering lovingly over
that peoples birth. Whatever the
meal was or was not, it was the
poured out offering of Jesus to the
great hearts Of yesterday who had
embodied the God-dream in their liv-
ing and their serving. He who had
been TRANSPORTED in the presence Of
the past felt again the thrill of their
comradeship and gave thanks. I'm

they offered their guest chamber,
their best room, for Jesus is proof of
their affection for He did not ask
for the guest chamber" but for a
common room or hall though He told
the Disciples that He was sure the
other would be given. The sign was
the man meeting them bearing a wa
ter jar-might he have been waiting
until he saw the Disciples and then
have led the way to the house? So
the preparations were made and as
the shadows were falling the little
group found its way into that cham
Der out of which has come the most
precious word that the world knows.
THE PROCEEDINGS.
Into the upper room they pressed,
carrying their hopes and their loves
with them, and they grouped about
the U shaped table looking at the
couches upon which they were to re-
cline at the meal. 1t was the Kings
feast and each was eager for a place
near Him and there was positive
strife over it. Judas received the
coveted boon as had been the habit
from his demonstrative affection, and
sat at the right of Jesus. Try reclin-
ing on your left elbow and see how
far you can reach with your right
hand, and the place of Judas is clear.
John, with a boys eagerness, grab
bed the other place from which he
would not be ousted, and it had been
due, possibly, to the twitting of the
boy with the fact that as youngest he
must wash their feet, so it was quite
out Of the question that he should
have it. For the servants would all
be too busy to spare one to the Wis
itors and would fall to John. Deter
mined to be next his chief love he
cast custom to the winds and would
not bulge lest another get the spot
of his desire. Peter never dreamed
of offering, for it wasn't his place,

BAYARD

Potomac Athletic Association held
an old-fashioned dance and social
meeting at Emmons Hall last Thurs
day night. About forty couples were
present. The hall was tastefully dec
GRATED and music was furnished by
local talent. The evening was spent
in dancing the old time square dances,
the Virginia Reel as we'll as the later
round dances. After a most enjoy
able evening of dancing, refresh
ments were served and then several
cake walks were participated in by
those present. Mr.. Baker and his
partner, Miss Foutz, and Mr.. Robert
Walker and Miss Lena Wise were the
winners of the cakes.
Last Friday night both the boys
and girls basket ball teams went to
Westernport and crossed arms with
the Piedmont teams. Result, Bayard
lost both games, Piedmont boys win
ming 1890 and Piedmont girls win
ming 25-8.
The Victorian Literary Society of
Bayard High School rendered most

THE PREPARATION.

. Luke ZZ:1J.
THE PREPARATION.
After that Tuesday of conflict and
final farewell to Jerusalem, Jesus
faced the inevitable, fully conscious
that the end was to be death. He
spent the next day in the vicinity of
Bethany and the writers found moth
ing to put in the records. Now that
is the most remarkable thing about
the day. Faced with the sudden clos
ing of life, certain that all the devil
ish ingenuity of the hierarchy would
be used against Him, He passed the
day with such steady nerve that there
was nothing out of the way to notice
by these keenly interested observers
who would, after the event, search
back to find a place of which one
could say, "There, l expected some
thing when He said that" or 81 knew
it was coming when He did that"
Not motion, not a word out Of the
ordinary that could convey a hint of
the slightest quickening of a heart
beat. There was a greater feat than
the preceding day had seen and is
one worthy of our Lord. Did He
pray? Certainly. Did He talk?
Surely. Were the meals taken as
usual? To be sure. To all outward
appearance it was fully a normal
day.
Thursday brought action as decid-
ed as the silence of yesterday. He
was determined to have a religious
meal with the Disciples and dared
again the city in order that He might
do so. Daring was He, but never
rash. No one but those who could
be depended upon were to know of it
or of its whereabouts. Presumably it
was in the home of Mary, the mother
