SUPPORTS PLAN
OF COAL BARONS
AND COMMISSION
Attack Radical" Strike
Leadership

DENVER, March 81. - What is
seen here as move on the part of
the Lewis machine in cooperation
with the State Industrial Commission
and, no doubt, with the indirect CO.
operation of the large mine opera
tors, to institute a quasi-company
union in Colorado, was announced
here yesterday in a decision by the
Industrial Commission as a means of
preventing strikes.
The recommendation was made in
the form of report reviewing the
alleged causes of the recent Colorado
mine strike. The report advocates
the restitution of collective bargain
ing and the establishment of in
spection of pit committees to repre-
sent the workers. :"
Company Unions Fail
The report further hints that the
existing company unions in the field
have failed to maintain industrial
peace. 1t is concluded that the move
to introduce form of collective bar
gaining" not of the radical variety
would insure the security the en-
ployers desire.
The way for this move was recently
paved by long formal appeal by
the executive board of the United
Mine Workers Union to the state In
dustrial Commission. The Colorado
State Federation of Labor also CO.
operated with the Lewis machine in
furthering the plan believed to be
sanctioned by the coal operators, the
Rockefeller interests mainly.

ated by the Progressive Textile Coz
100000 unorganized textile workers
in New England, the northeastern
section Of the Young Workers (Com
munist) League, through Nat Kay,
organizer, issued a statement rally
ing the youth in the industry. More
than 40 per cent of the mill opera
tives are young workers, according
to Kay.
Average Wage $13.
The statement follows:
"With the worsening of conditions
of the 100000 textile workers of New
England the progressive textile work
ers decided to organize the morgan
lied textile workers. The average
wage of the textile workers at work
is no more than about $13. The hours
are far from the 4S-hour week. Speak
to the textile workers and no one
remembers the actual application of
the 48-hour law. Fifty-four hours
and more Is what the textile worker
has to give in return for the small
wage.
"The speed-up system is the high
est ever known in any industry. From
2-loom systems the textile barons
compelled the workers to go on a 6.
s, 10, and even the unheard of ~
loom system. The textile barons are
not yet satisfied. They are cutting
wages from 1000 up in all important
.centers. 1t started off at Lowell.
Mass. went to Augusta and Lewis
ton, Maine. and has spread to the
rest of the workers in the textile in
dustry.
Youth Forms 40 Percent.
"The Young textile workers who
number 400 of the total employed
in the industry are working under
even worse conditions than those of
the adults. The low wages, the speed
up system, effects the young worker
much more than the adult. In MANY
crafts where youth is employed. the
hours are not irlited, in spite of the
laws which are supposed to protect
them. The sentiment among the tex
tile workers is for strikes against
the multiple loom system, which
caused unemployment and other evils.
'The sentiment among the textile
workers is for organization to resist
the onslaught of the employers. But
because they are unorganized, they
are helpless in this situation. The
existing unions have in their ranks
only 10000 out Of total of q mil
lion workers.
Officials Backward.
"The officials of these unions. the
United Textile Workers and the
American Federation Of Textile OPP
eratives, are reactionary. They re-
fuse to organize the workers. They
refuse to call strikes but instead they
go hand in hand with the bosses and
conoede to their demands. Il was
therefore the rank and file itself that
had to produce new leadership and
adopt methods which would in an
organized way improve their condi-
tions.
"The progressive and militant
workers formed mill committees that
will spread in every textile MILL The
nill committee method is the only
method to organize against and re-
gist the worsening Of conditions of
The workers.
Youth Predominant.
"Thc Young Workers League has
decided to aid in this work in every
possible way. We realize that only
thru 100 per cent organization and
militant policy, will the workers be
able to improve their conditions and
defeat the bosses. We further real
ize that young textile workers will
rlay a predominant role in this situ-
alton, since they are more militant,
understand the language better and
