Justify the increase in looms per
weaver through the labor it saves,
actually, the weavers say, accom-

magazine feeds the filling into the

filling breaks. after the transfer of
the bobbin, the loom stops. like an
ordinary loom, and the weaver must
find his pick and connect the thread
with the thread that was broken.
With the inferior grade of yarn pro-

that labor-saving is negligible.

New Bedford mill workers under
stand the meaning of speed-up and
are ready to fight it even more Bit
terly than the 10 per cent cut. The
attempt of the Batty-manufacturer
combination to make the Frieder
Plan appear a concession on the
part of the mill owners to the strik-
ers already has proven to be mis-
cradle failure.
On the picket lines, in the union
halls. wherever strikers gather,
speed-up is under discussion nova
days, ard Batty's skilled worker
membership joins the mass of the
strikers, lead by the T. M. c., in
declaring that they will reject speed

fancy name.

fling the plan back into Batty's
face. and take their stand with the
T. NJ. C. to fight it to a finish.

Successful Strikes in

The League of Maritime Work

eral secretary, Daniel Villalba Ga
member of the Communist Party
to Argentina and Uruguay to ar
range for the establishment of a
confederation of all organizations of
maritime workers of Argentina,
Uruguay and Paraguay, according
to reports received here.
The Paraguayan eague of
Maritime Workers" is the largest
and most militant labor organization
of Paraguay. The Argentine Fed
eracion Obrera Maritime" is now I'M
der the leadership of Communists
and syndicalists and recently led
several successful strikes in Rosario
and other Argentine ports. Recently
there was also a successful general
strike of the transport workers of
the Paraguayan town Vollarica,
where the workers obtained an in
crease in wages. The Uruguayan
maritime labor federation is affilia-
ted to the Union Sindical Urugua-
va" (USU) the largest Uruguayan
labor federation, which is also I'M
der Communist and syndicalist con-
troll.
Although Paraguay is far from
the ocean, it nevertheless has a
strong organization of maritime
workers on the Rio Parana which
is navigable for ocean steamships.

Silk Company workers some two
years ago by Leonard P. Frieder,
vice. president and general manager
of the plant.
Any man known to be in the union
is refused job; any man joining
while working is fired. A case
against Frieder is pending till the
November court session for firing
an employs of the company for
union utilization.
Open Shop.
1t is no accident that the plan
Batty advocates for adoption by the
mill owners calls, for an open shop
in the mills. Utterly discredited as
leaders of the workers, Batty, Binns,
Riviere and Co. are offering them
selves as runners for the company
union they will turn the Textile
Council into, if the strike sell-out
goes through.
Twelve Looms.
In the other New Bedford silk
mills weavers run four looms, at
the utmost. six. In Frieder's mill
they are forced to run IL. In other
silk mills skilled silk weavers, paid
far above cotton weavers, get $40

Frieder's plant, with II looms, ex-
pert weavers, putting, they say, the
last ounce of effort into their work,
are lucky if they make 1923 on the
