Marking Factions In
Fight For Spells

SHANGHAI, Aug. 31-Breaking
out of hostilities between two
factions of the Kuomintang govern
ment which has reached the point
Of actual warfare, have led many
Marking government officials here
to express fear that workers may
sieze anton. Over 500 revolutionary
workers have been arrested since
August 81, or an effort to curb the
growing unrest in Canton, according
to reports.
Fighting is reported between
troops of the Chang Kai-shek
Marking faction and the Kwangsi
clique controlling the Canton gov
eminent. The relations between
these two hostile factions, which
were temporarily wended to allow
the formation of the Marking gov
eminent, have always been in
danger of stretching, and have
promised to result in the overthrow
of the extremely unstable Marking
regime.
Troops have kept strict watch
over Canton ever since the advance,
of the worker-pleasant troops from
Southern Human. Troops in the
Kuomintang army at Canton are
reported to be in revolt.

300 White Plains Mill
Strikers Continue to
Hold Firm On Demands

WHITE PLAINS, N. Y, So. 81.
The strike of 800 carpenters here,
which has tied up almost the COM
plete industry in the city with the
closing of twenty mills, continues
to be as strong as when the workers
stopped work last Monday. The
men have all declared their intention
of continuing their strike until the
manufacturers agree to grant their
full demands.
The strike was called when the 300
cabinet-makers, joiners, benchman
and machinemen walked out with
the same wages that they have been
getting for the five and half day
week.
After the strike had been declared,
the manufacturers met to "negoti-
ate" with the workers. Due to their
anxiety, an early victory is expected
by the striking workers.

yesterday made by District Attor-

on the East 180th st. branch of the
subway at the Jackson Ave. station.
Four workers were injured, one of
whom may die. The smash occurred
when two work trains collided, show

yesterday in serious condition in
Lincoln Hospital, suffering from in

40 textile workers to Boston then.
James P. Ried and Fred E. Beal,
leaders of the Fall River and New

committee composed of 40 men, wo-
men and children in the two strikes.
They will demand of the state of

demand that all the huge sums al
lotted to the mill owners several
months ago as tax rebates, be turned
over for use by the strikers as re-

Although they put up these and
other demands for action by Fuller,
not one of the striking workers or
their leaders have any illusions as
to favorable action on them by a
man who was directly responsible
for the murder of labor's martyrs,
Sacco and Vanzetti. During all
these months of struggle the COVER

conditions under which strikers are
compelled to live, while they are
about to enter the 21st week of their
strike against wage cuts. The call
then declares:
organized labor must respond to
the New Bedford and Fall River
strike with 100 per cent support.
The strike has been on for five
months. The need is great. Imme-
date and continuous relief must be
sent into New Bedford and Fall
River. The Workers International
Relief has responded to the strike
, call from the very beginning of the
struggle.

YOUNG WORKERS
TO AID MILL MEET
Big Convention in New
York Sept. %
BY JACK RUBINSTEIN

The young workers of the textile
industry have much to expect from
the National Textile Convention, to
be held in New York City on Sep
TENDER 1928, under the auspices of
the National Textile Mill Commit
tees. Already great interest in this
convention is shown by the young
workers in the various textile cen
ters. From all indications, the youth
will play a real and vital part in
the coming convention.
The New England Textile Youth
Conference, representing 20 mills,
employing thousands of young work
ers, showed that the youth can and
will be organized. The established
unions in the textile industry have
done practically nothing to organ
ize the young workers. High dues,
craft divisions, as well as a general
distrust of the youth have been some
amongst the many barriers which
the so-called old, established unions
have set up against the young work
ers.
Standards Low.
The standards of the young work
ers in the textile industry are below
the existence level. Young workers
are employed throughout the textile
industry for as little as So to $13
per week. Back boys. for example,
receive as little as 1904 per week,
cleaners get 5000, while spool boys
receive the grand total of S14.55 full
time. working ten looms, in the cot
ton industry. In many instances we
find the wages of the youth as low
as 81, as for instance that of the
wire boys, who receive between 50
and Sc week.
The sanitary conditions under
which they are forced to work are
miserable. In most mills there are
no decent provisions made for lock-
ers, lunchrooms, Mushrooms and toll
cts. In many cases young girls are
''-1 = r-~ thn same locker
room as the rest of the workers.
~ lids arc infested with
rats and reaches, while the floors
are left unswept. The damp air in
many departments is very detrimen-
tai to the health, especially to young
people, whose lungs are particularly
susceptible to tuberculosis.
Many Unorganized.
The lack of vision on the part of
the old time labor fakirs of the u.
IT, W., such as MacMahon and his
tribe, has made the organization of
the unorganized young workers very
difficult. Of the million, one hum
bred thousand textile workers in
this country, over four hundred thou
sand are under the age Of "a. This
vast mass of young textile workers
presents special problems and calls
for special methods of work. The
u. T. w. in it's thirty years of ex-
istence has demonstrated its total
inability to meet the need of the
Young workers. The young workers
look forward with great hope to the
coming national convention, for they
are sure that in the new union at
last they will be given their proper
Mace and their needs understood
and provided for.
