Movie Tells a Story of
Textile Strike
Confined from Page Oue)

(CoftlSbcO from rage O1Ie)
United Textile Workers of America.
Soon came a check for $1,000 from
the Philadelphia branch of his fede-
ration and another for $210 from the
Boonton, n. j. branch, with others
following.
"The South can be organized" was
his cheering message to the conven-
ton. He told of the native solidarity
of the Henderson workers. Negro
firemen and maintenance men, though
getting twice the weekly wages of the
textile workers, came out with their
white brothers gladly The chief
engineer had to do what firing was
required, Yardmen and company
railroad switchmen walked out Not
man was working when Hoffman
left a week ago.
Unions Respond.
North Carolina craft unions respond
well to the revolt. In Durham, for
instance, the bricllayers and plumb
ers' assessed themselves $1.00 per
week.
1t was a countryside revolt against
the mill owners-the Cooper interests
that control the Harriet cotton
mills, and tobacco and cotton ware
houses. Farmers are organizing a
boycott Of the warehouses; threaten
ing to bring no tobacco and cotton till
the strike is won. And truck loads
Of sides of bacon and green vegetables
and other food supplies are donated
by the willing tillers Of the soil for
the use Of the strikers. In reciprocal
fraternity strikers are giving their
services without cash pay to the to-
bacco field of the farmers.
Miserable Wages.
Hoffman described the sprawling
company town on the outskirts OF
Henderson--the cowpath streets, ooz-
ing with mud; the frame shack
houses, with a census showing one
third leaking. No plumbing; folks
walk block to a quarter of mile
to open wells.
A hard fight, a long fight, of
workers with no experience in union
ism but with tremendous grievances;
workers, who, if they are men, aver
age $500 for a 55 hour weekday
time, 60 hours, night shift; if they
are women, $4.1O to $500. Hoffman
showed set of random pay envel-
opes, for full time for women work
ers, running as follows:-$5.70;
$50; $3.50, $4.1O, S8.50-the latter
before the cut.
The workers signed a petition for
a 1912 per cent increase, to get back
what had been taken away in 1924
They struck when the petition was
found in the boss's wastebasket.
Relief for these workers may be
sent to Alfred Hoffman, Hotel Mel
bourne, Durham, n. c.

Pablo Manlapit, Exiled
Filipino Labor Leader,
Speaks in Los Angeles
(By a Worker Correspondent

LOS ANGELES, Cal, Sept. 10
Pablo Manlapit, exiled Filipino labor
leader, free after serving % months
in Ohahua prison to which the Haw-
allan Sugar Planters Association
sent him because of his activities in
behalf of the workers, spoke under
the auspices of the International La
Dor Defense last Sunday evening at
Music Arts Hail.
Plantations Struck.
''In 1923 Manlapit circulated a pc
tition to, which 10000 signatures were
secured, asking the Sugar Trust to
grant the workers higher wages, -
Manlapit declared. "The petition was
ignored and as a result a strike was
called in 1924. The plantation own
ers tried hard to make nationalistic
issue of what was purely a revolt
against unbearalle living conditions.
Cost of living had went up while
wages remained down.
Union Leaders Jailed.
GAS a result of the strike basic
wages was raised from 500 to $50
per month. Ten months later Is
union leaders were put in jail and the
union broken up. Wages were then
lowered to $26 per month and bonus
and contract system introduced by
the trust.
Especial police tried to arrest two
of the strikers. They objected. More
police were called, a riot took place
Sixteen were killed and Is wounded
Eleven were shot in the back with
soft nose bullets. -Four of the spe-
cial police were killed by their own
men. They thought they were strik-
ers because they were hiding. This
happened Sept. Is, 1924"
The speaker said the Pacific Ocean
would not prevent him from spread
ing his ideas at home. They exiled
me-" he said, but they cannot exile
the principle for which | stand-the
liberation Of the working class"
Issued Statement.
Manlapit in a statement made on
lCclF ing LAW al IIIItIlSGb Tic RONeI-
nor of the territory, w. w. Earring
ton for the unjust conditions of his
release.
Il have been bitterly disappointed
at the action of the governor in add
ing a condition to my parole that
obliges me to leave Hawaii" he says
in part. Il regard the condition i'm
posed upon my release as an example
of unjust discrimination and unfair
prejudice. 1t seems to ME that l am
not being treated even with the con-
sideration that a convicted felon re-
ceives, but / am being punished be-
yond the intention of the trial Judge
and jury, simply because l am not
burglar or a murderer"

der of his friend, Wilfred p. Erwin.
Two jurors remain to be chosen. A

torious if the representatives of the
General Council in the Anglo Russian
Committee had not sabotaged the
propositions of the delegations from
the Soviet labor unions.
1t was again the sabotage of the
British trade union leaders which pre-
vented effective action for the de-
Tense Of the Chinese revolution.
The appeal further says:
After the betrayal of the 18th of
May some comrades amongst our
selves believed we must assume the
initiative in the rupture with the
Anglo-Russian Committee. We did
not choose this path, preferring to
remain in the Committee and submit
ting therein our propositions expos
ing the systematic sabotage and be-
trayal of the representatives of the
General Council.
Tactics Justified.
"Our tactics have been fully iusti-
fled. The indignation and hatred of
British capitalists and their lackeys,
Thomas, Purcell, Hicks and Citrine
must be entirely attributed to the
fact that thruout the existence of the
committee our delegation strove to
defend the interests of the working
class of England and the whole world
= whereby it won the profound SYM
pathies of the British workers"
The appeal further shows up the
policy of the British trade-union lead
ers and cites evidences of the weak
ness of the reactionary trade-union
bureaucracy just as the fascist pol
icy of the Baldwins and Joynson-
Hickses is a mark of the weakness
and disintegration of British imper-
ialism which is able to maintain pow
er only by relentless exploitation of
the British proletariat and by the
bloody oppression of the colonial and
semi-colonial peoples.
Greet British Workers.
Addressing fraternal greetings to
the British workers, the appeal con-
cludes:
"We are deeply convinced that the
British working class will expel from
its midst the traitors like Thomas
and Hicks, who advocate its surrender,
its capitulation, and will employ all
its might to carry on the struggle
against the capitalist class. We are
deeply convinced that the workers of
England and the u S. S. R. will re-
ply to the rupture of the Anglo-Rus-
sian Committee by the traitors of the
working class by intensifying and
consolidating their fraternal alliance.
eve are deeply convinced the
Hickes, Thomases, Chamberlains and
Baldwins will never succeed in break
ing this fraternal alliance between
England and the Soviet Union.
Long live the fraternal alliance
between the working class of Eng
land and of the USSR! Long live
the struggle for victory of the Brit
ish workers against the capitalist
class"
