Suggestion For Worker COrrespOn-
dents.
Editor DAILY WORKERS:

Editor, DAILY WORKER:
AS The DAILY WORKER is the
only newspaper that workers can
look to for enlightment of their af-
fairs, would suggest to The DAILY
WORKER correspondents the great
need of keeping their readers in
formed on workers conditions in their
localities, especially on the unem-
ployment situation.
The majority of the workers don't
know about the deplorable conditions
that exist in this country. OF course
they cannot help but observe their
own surroundings and needs, but in
most cases the workers imagine that
it is their lack of ability that keeps
them from gaining better conditions
They don't seem to realize that the
greedy monster of capitalism is haLg-
ing on their backs, keeping them
from getting a decent livelihood.
When workers become better in
formed they will realize that al
workers have the load to carry and
instead of entertaining illusions about
securing better life by fighting in
dividually, they will see the necessity
Of organizing and fighting their bat
ties collectively. No lone soldier
ever won battle.

10000 workers, many of these are up
state New York; Pennsylvania, 150,-
600, and the rest of the textile in
dustry is primarily in the South.
OF the $4,000 textile workers in
the East there are 191, 1000 cotton
workers, 141,O00 wooden and worsted
workers, $4,000 silk workers, 1884,
600 knit goods workers and $4,000
dyeing and finishing workers.
Economically the textile workers,
especially the child and youth labor
ers are among the most exploited.
Eight to ten dollars per week is not
an unusual wage. On the other hand
the profits of the mill owners in
many cases reach to the 1000 per
cent. 1t must also be born in mind
that the textile industry has pro-
tective tariff of an average rate as
high as rs per cent, which helps to
maintain these high profits.
The introduction of the speed-up
system taking the form of the in
PRODUCTION of new machinery, labor
saving devices, increased number of
looms per worker, etc., continually
displaces large numbers of workers
by youth, and child laborers, and
adds to the already large number of
unemployed textile workers. I'm
employment in the textile industry
can be said to be almost chronic.
This last is especially true in the
New England states.
The hours in the textile industry
range from 4S to go and more hours
per week. In some states the law
provides for shorter work day for
the child laborers, but there are many
ways by which the manufacturers
beat the law. Wherever it is en-

forced the work day is in no places
less than eight hours for the child
laborers. In some very few places
the 44-hour week has been achieved,
but tins is very insignificant for the
industry as hole. At the present
time in New England there is
tendency, as shown in Salem, and
Meanwhile, to introduce the 54-hour
week instead of the 48-hour week that
is prevalent in the New England
mills.
The sanitary conditions in the tex
tile industry are very bad though
the technique and nature of the in
dustry permits better sanitary con-
ditions. The death rate and indus
trial diseases in the textile industry
are higher than in any other industry.
Investigations by the Workers Health
Bureau of the Passaic strikers dis
closed that the young textile workers
especially are affected by tubercu-
losis.
Workers Unorganized And Divided
Of the one million workers in the
industry not more than $4,000 are
organized and these are organized
into several unions. The largest of
these is the United Textile Workers
having about $4,000 to 10000 mem
bers including the new Passaic locals;
the second largest is the Federated
Textile Unions of America, fedora
ton of several loosely-connected ma
tional bodies with membership of
about 10000. Then comes the Asso-
ciated Silk Workers of Paterson with
a membership of about 1000. The
other independent organizations are
the United Front Committees, Tex
tile Workers Clubs, etc.
Some time ago the Progressive tex
tile workers had conference in New

the bourgeoisie there, that they are
capable of the same deeds that any
genuine Fascist is, Sigman is trying
to prove to the open shoppers that
they can rely upon him. Again the
Commercial says:
"When the American Federation of
Labor adopted a resolution in Detroit
TO organize the automobile trades, it
took step that brought comfort to
the Communists. Any attempts to
enforce through strike, the closed
shop principle in the automobile in
dustry will be meat for the Com
munists because it will give them an
excuse to cause riOting and violence.
Moreover, if the American Federation
of Labor believe they can prevent
the Communists from injecting them
selves into such a controversy they
show a complete lack of knowledge
of Communist tactics. Long before
the resolution was presented to the
American Federation of Labor to
close the automobile industry the
Communists were active in forming
their 'centers' in every automobile
plant in this country. They are in
the key positions. They have gained
as their supporters the key men.
They have laid their plans with care
and skill. They are now awaiting the
time when the American Federation
of Labor calls strike to take COM
plete and absolute control of its man.
agement.
The above is an open bid to the
A. F. of L. officialdom that they

ers. It is at the same time threat.
The New York Commercial is no
doubt correct, that it was thanks to
the efforts Of the Communists and
the left wing that the resolution to
organize the automobile industry was
passed at the last convention. The
Greens, the Wolls, and the
Lewises never had any intention to
organize the automobile industry.
The resolution was due to the pres
sure Of the unorganiztd masses who
responded to the work Of the Com
munist nuclei. IL was a gesture that
was never meant to be carried out.

paper in this country in a very in
teresting and instructive editorial
lays down the conditions of its sup
port to the labor bureaucracy and also
quite correctly lays down the ''limits
of the United Front"
while the New York Commercial
is an open shop paper in that it does
not believe the principle of the closed
shop is the best for wage earners,
employers, or the general public, it
is ready to join at all times with the
American Federation of Labor or any
other organization or movement, no
matter under what name it comes,
that is ready to destroy Communism
and Socialism in this country.
We hope that when the activities of
the American Federation of Labor
have run every Communist out of
this country, they will turn their at

where the struggle is against the
left wing that stands for militant

support the Socialist Sigman in the
struggle against the Communists
and the left wing, but as soon as the
left wing is defeated they demand
a fight to finish against the Social

when, with the votes of the Liberals,
the Labor Party in England was al
lowed to take power. This was
necessary for the. bourgeoisie in order
that the Labor government headed
by the Socialist Macdonald, could
take up the struggle against the rev.
dictionary movement in Britain that
was growing too rapidly, and against
the revolutionary nationalist move-
ment in India. AS soon as the bour-
geoisie felt again that its position was
secure, the Labor government was
kicked out. The same role is played
by every Socialist government on

organize the textile industry. 1t was
shown that only the progressives can
force the present unions to start an
organization drive in the industry as
well as push forward amalgamation
which is so important in this i'm
dustry.
The progressives also realize that
if we are to be successful in organ
izing the textile workers we must
reach the young workers who form
such a large section of the workers
in the industry. The conference
therefore decided on the following
program:
All progressive blocs within
local textile unions shall nominate
upon their slate at least one youth
worker to local union executive
boards and upon all union committees
in order to carry out the program
for organizing the large number of
youth workers in the textile indus
try.
2. Local progressive committees
Sfletll lily W dAaW III do many SOAAE
workers from local unions, morgan
lied mills, social clubs and sports
organizations as is possible.
3. A special youth program shall
be drawn up for each local committee
and special committees shall be Gre
ated to carry out this program to
organize the youth in the textile in
dustry.
a. A youth and children's section
to be included in the progressive tex
tile publications to be prepared by a
special editor under direction of the
executive committee.
This program should help to draw
the young workers into the campaigns
that are initiated by the progress
sives and it will help make the pro-
gressives the champions of the in
terests of the young textile workers.

The textile industry in the United
States at the present time is under
going a partial crisis. This is due
particularly to the introduction Of the
speed-up system and labor saving
machinery, but it is even more due
to the competition which is growing,
especially with the German textile
industry, which due to the introduce
ton Of the Dawes plan has cut the
standard Of living of the German
workers to such an extent that it
can compete with American interests
in Americas own home market in
spite of our high protective tariff
rates.
The present crisis does not effect
so much the profits and dividends
of the stockholders as it does the
standard of living of the textile
workers. The mill owners utilize this
opportunity to carry on a campaign
to maintain and even raise the already
high tariff as well as utilize it for a
wage cutting campaign.
Another interesting feature in the
textile industry today is the develop
ment that is going on in the South.
Cheap labor supply of both white
and colored workers, and nearness of
the raw materials is helping the
growth of the textile, especially of
the cotton industry in the South.
The Largest Industry
The textile industry in this coun-
try employees the largest number of
workers. There are approximately
one million workers employed in the
textile industry. At least 40 per
cent of these are child and youth
laborers. Thirty-five to 40 per cent
of the million workers are females.
The percentage of female workers is
probably a little higher amongst the
youth.
Geographically the textile industry

Open Shoppers Endorse Right Wing Socialists

1t is up to the rank and file in the
unions to compel the American Fed
Grafton of Labor to put the resolu-
ton into effect.
The New York Commercial is also
correct when it warns the A. f. of
l.. that in the event of strike in
the automobile industry the Com
munists will be there. Wherever
there is a struggle in behalf of labor,
particularly any attempt to organize
the unorganized, the Communists, the
left wing, and all militants in general
are to be found the most active and
self-sacrificing in the interests of
the masses. The A. F. of L. officials
on the other hand fear and shrink
from the Organization of the I'M
organized because it means bringing
into the fold of the American Fedora
ton Of Labor large masses of I'M
skilled workers who are not receiving
the benefits of American Imperial
ism and who will form together with
the left wing among the workers
already organized powerful bloc
that will wrest from the labor bureau
Gratis the control of the American
labor movement and free it from its
policies of class collaboration and
lead it in the direction of bigger
struggles against American capital
ism.
The only guarantee against strikes,
and against the organization Of the
unorganized is to clean out the Com
munists and the left wing. This is
the meaning of the drive against
the New York Board of the ILGWU.
This is the meaning of the investi-
cation against the militant Furriers.
This is the reason for the big cleo
tion steal in the miners union.
The New York Commercial gives
its final warning to the A. F. Of l..
officialdom in the following words:
1--WE join with the American Fed
Grafton of Labor in this fight so long
as its fight is to destroy the common
enemy Communism. So. When
that has been done we will again
take issue with it in the matter of
the open or closed shop"

The attack against the New York
Joint Board of the Cloakmakers by
the Sigman machine, has not only the
backing of the entire bureaucracy of
the American Federation of Labor,
but the active support of the bosses
in general and the open shoppers in
particular. In this there is nothing
startling. 1t is natural for the en-
ployers to initiate, let alone support
a drive against these in the trade
union movement that are opposed to
the policies of class collaboration, and
still, not only believe in the class
struggle, but actually dare call
strikes in the interests of the work.

WASH YOUR KIDNEYS
BY DRINKING WATER
IF Your Back Hurts or Bladder
Bothers, Also Take Some
Salts

Flush your kidneys by drinking a
quart of water each day, also. take
salts occasionally, says a noted au-
thority, who tells us that too much
rich food forms acids which almost
paralyze the kidneys in their efforts
to expel it from the blood. They be-
come sluggish and weaken; then you
may suffer with a dull misery in the
kidney region, sharp pains in the
back or sick headache, dizziness,
your stomach sours, tongue is coated
and when the weather Is bad you
have rheumatic twinges.
To help neutralize these irritating
acids; to help cleanse the kidneys
and flush off the body's urinous
waste, get four ounces of Jad Salts
from any pharmacy here. Take a
tablespoonful in a glass Of water be-
fore breakfast for few days and
your kidneys may then act fine.
This famous salts is made from the
acid Of grapes and lemon juice, COM
bined with lithia, and has been used
for years to help flush and stimu-
late sluggish Kidneys; also to neu-
tralize the acids in the system so
they no longer irritate, thus often
relieving bladder weakness.
Jad Salts is inexpensive; can not
injure and makes a delightful effer-
vescent Whitewater ink.-Adver-
