TEXTILE UNIONS
VOTE ON STRIKE
Workers Demand Fight
Against Wage Cut

Continued from Page One)
cut wages because Of competition is
branded as hypocritical by the work
ers. They prove that all the mills
in Maine, New Hampshire, and the
South which produce the same quality
of fine cotton goods and rayon mix
lures, do not equal in output that of
three large mills in New Bedford.
These are the only mills where the
wage problem may prove an excuse
for competition,
AS for the large mills in Connect
cut and Rhode Island, where the
quantity of production may be suf-
ficient to compete with New Bedford,
these mills have not made a wage re-
duction in spite of the fact that wages
are higher than in New Bedford.
Buying Difficult.
Another significant fact pointed to
by the workers is that several
Southern mill owners made state
ments to. the trade journals giving
specific instances to prove that they
were never able to come within sew
eral cents a yard Of the low prices
quoted by the New Bedford Mills, in
spite of their cheap labor.
A encouraging stimulant to sue
cessful strike action was also made
public in textile trade papers. This is
news item announcing the difficulty
of textile buyers in obtaining spot de-
liveries of fine cotton goods.
PAWTUCKET, r. l., April ia
strike was declared in effect yester-
day at the mills of the Darlington
Textile Company by the United Tex
tile Workers of America. The mill
management had locked out the 200
loom fixers and weavers in the factory
when they refused to accede to the de-
mand of the employers that lower
wage scale and an increased system
of loom operation be adopted. The
lockout was made week ago.
They were joined yesterday in a
sympathy strike by the SO reamers
who remained at work last Monday.
This takes the last man out of the
mill in spite of the fact that the mill
operators had posted notices yester-
day that they are reopening the plant,
and will take back those returning
on the company terms.
The new system of paying for the
operation of four looms instead of
three as previously, reduces the wages
of the operatives by 40 per cent, the
workers declare.

MANCHESTER, N. H, (By
Mail) Enclosed is a leaflet issued
by the Textile Mill Committee of the
Amoskeag Mill direct to the mill
workers at the gates this morning.
The Leaflet
The bosses own the factories and
the machines and with these they
own our jobs and control our lives.
The boss does not care for us, ex-
cept to hire US cheaper, to make us
work harder, all for profits for HIM
self. So the boss cuts our wages and
speeds up the work and makes US work
longer hours. He tries to fool us
with fake employee representation or
company union plans.
We have no use for the bosses COM
pany union which gave US the wage
cut. We want an organization OF our
own-an organization that will fight
for a better standard of living.
Such an organization has been
formed. A big New England Textile
Conference of progressive textile
workers unions and clubs was held In
Boston March 11tR. This conference
decided to build a new Progressive
Textile Workers Organization to be
known as the Textile Mill Commit
tees. These workers committees are
to be built up in every textile mill and
to be joined together into one strong
united national body of Mill Commit
tees. Already workers in Lawrence,
Lowell, Fall River, New Bedford and
Providence mills have their commit
tees. Right here in the Amoskeag
mill committee has been formed.
Join it when your fellow-worker asks
you. Join it when the organizer
comes to your house.
The Textile Mill Committees stand
for:
l. The recognition of the Textile
Mill Committees!
2. Return of the 10 per cent cut
in wages stolen from us last De-
cember!
3. For an increase of wages!
4. The 40-hour day week!
5. The abolition Of the speed-up
SYSTEM
g. For a workers shop paper!
The Textile Mill Committees are
against:
Employee representation or COM
pany union plans started by the bosses
to fool us and to make it easier to
put over wage cuts, speeding up, ETC.!
All textile clubs of the bosses!
All newspapers controlled by the
bosses!

CONVENTION
AND CHILD PROBLEMS

cOmpnShed mucn.
Each Pioneer knows that his
"shop" is his school. He knows that
it is there that he must carry on his
fight to win the workers child for
the working class. The Pioneers have
carried on successful struggles in the
schools against overcrowding, against
discrimination Of pupils. In their
fights they have rallied thousands of
children. Every month the Pioneers
distribute copies of the Young Com
rade, the organ of the Pioneers,
among their school mates with the
view of counteracting capitalist pro-
paganda. Under the leadership of
the Pioneers a conference for miners
relief was called in January. At this
conference over ten thousand children
were represented. Now thousands of
workers children have been drawn
into the relief work, and have be-
come acquainted with the miners
struggle.
Pioneers Camp.
The New York district has con-
Quoted a camp for three summers,
where many workers children had
their vacation. At every celebration
of the working class, at every revolu-
tionary meeting, the participation of
the Pioneers has infused new blood
and enthusiasm to those present.
They have carried on systematic
education within the organization.
Special classes have been formed for
the functionaries. The older Pion-
GERS are being prepared to enter the
Young Workers (Communist) League.
At the recent Liebknecht memorial
meeting of the League fifty Pioneers
were graduated into the ranks of the
League. All of these are already &C
lively participating in its work.
The Young Pioneers coming to
their district convention proud OF
their past, are full, of hope and en-
thusiasm for the future tasks that
are facing them. The tasks are great
yet we can very confidently say that
the Pioneers will carry on their work
among the workers children, in the
Interests of the workers children anc
the working class, successfully.
The Pioneers have proved by theil
past deeds that they are the children
who are destined to be in the fore
front Of the coming struggles of the
American working class.
If the workers will not understand
the necessity of a strong children'S
Organization our children will be wor
by the bourgeoisie. Every worker
who is honest to his class must sup,
port the Pioneer movement, must see
to it that his own children join its
ranks, must see to it that every work
er's child he comes in contact with
becomes a Pioneer.
To you, young brave fighters, VIZ
send our hearty greetings on YOU
convention. Forward to a real work
ers' children's organization that vii
be the pride of the American work
ers!

According to the Company's word
we get paid for a 10 and II hour

Men Buy Own Tools.
A few of the men have been there
over 20 years, but are still unable to

is by not providing sufficient tools in

workers to buy tools, which the COM

doing so and in order to make profit

company employs labor spies too.

By LOUIS SIsSELMAN.

At he same time that an army of
100000 unemployed march along
the streets of our GLORIOUS land of
prosperity" there are two and one
half million children from five to six
teen mercilessly exploited in the
American industries.
Child Slaves.
These children are Shaving under
the most miserable conditions. They
are found in the street industries,
that is, bootblacking, newsboys, in
the candy industry, textile mills, coal
mines, zinc industry and especially in
the beet fields of Michigan and the
cotton plantations of the South.
In a system where everything is
based on profits, it is quite obvious
that the financial magnates will very
readily fire adult workers and re-
place them with child laborers who
offer a better means Of exploitation,
since their demands are fewer, and
they offer less resistance. Because OF
this we find that the problem of child
labor besides being problem for the
adults, is a special problem to the
children themselves, a problem OF
vital importance.
The children must also fight the
overcrowded conditions in the schools
they must fight unsanitary condi-
tions, all Of which are common to
schools in the working class neigh
borhoods.
Military Propaganda.
The workers children must demand
the establishment of kitchens in the
schools where the children of the I'M
employed will be fed The children
must fight the anti-labor propaganda
instilled in our children in the schools
The teachers are willing and plant
tools of the capitalist class. In the
intensification of the INFLAMMATION OF
the youth in the preparation for a
new war, military training is being
installed in even the elementary
schools.
The workers child must be taught
to carry on a militant struggle
against the preparing of workers
children ideologically and physically
for the coming imperialist war.
/ Especially must our children fight
against the propaganda against the
only workers and farmers govern
ment, the Soviet Union. They must
teach the other children that such q
government is the only government
that really is for the workers.
Pioneers in Lead.
However, in order that our children
meet these problems effectively, it is
necessary for them to be organized
effectively.

songs are of such a character as to
be remembered long after one leaves
the theatre.
When one comes to discussing the
comedians, there is different story
to tell. DR.. Rockwell, known for
mary years to vaudeville fans, is one
of the chief funmakers. His style of
comedy is slightly similar to Joe
Cook, and while he is not so expert
in handling his part, the audience is
kept in constant uproar.
A team known as Jams and Wah-
len contribute a great deal to the
gaiety Of the evening. Their dialogue
is fast and adds prestige to the entire
production.
Blossom Seeley is another member

revue also has some very fine dane

There are 81 numbers all told in
