A SAMPLE OF FREE AMERICA.
By MILDRED OTIS.

A neighbor of ours just returned
from Florida. Here are some of the
conditions under which the workers
have to live. In the cotton fields,
everyone in the family works, except
the baby. On the roads, convicts work
with their legs chained. The rich
boss uses the convicts because it is
so much cheaper than workers. He
gets them from the jails. These con-
victs are people who steal some small
thing, or people who hop on a train
But if they haven't enough of these
people to go around, they arrest any
worker who happens to be unemploy-
ed. These workers are then sentenced
to work on the road. After they have
worked their ninety days, they are
told to get out. THAT'S FREE
AMERICA.

THE SPIRIT OF 1916"

Many of US have learned in school
that George Washington was the
father of our country" We learned
that George Washington, with his
army of workers and poor farmers
succeeded in defeating their foreign
oppressors, and gaining their indie
pendence. But that was about $50
years ago. Things are much differ
ent now The spirit of 1776" in
which our country was born, is no
longer the spirit of our rulers. In
stead we find that the American flag
today stands for suppression and slav-
cry of the worst kind. For the sake
OF profits, our soldiers and marines
are sent to drown in blood any at
tempts for independence and freedom.
Such is the case in China, Nicaragua,
and even in the United States against
the workers who attempt to better
their living conditions.
But, altho Washington. the father
Of our country" is dead, his spirit
Ewes and carries ON in Nicaragua.
Carries on, strange to say, against
the country of which he is called the
father This contradiction becomes
clear to US when we realize that the
spirit of Washington is the spirit of
all oppressed nations.
We may be children, but this much
we do know. If George Washington
was hero for what he did, General
SANDING of Nicaragua, is a much
greater hero for what he is doing,
because he fights for the same thing
but against greater odds. And if
King George III was a tyrant for
his behavior to the American colonies,
Coolidge and his cohorts are no less
tyrants for their behavior and at
tempts to suppress the revolts in Mica
ragua and China. And what's more,
we will not be fooled by the tools of
Coolidge and the capitalists, be they
American clowns, as Will Rogers, or
Prince of Wales as Lindbergh. We
say "Down with the Spirit of st.
,ouis," which is the spirit of tyrants.
and "Hurrah for the Spirit of 1776."

Textile Unions to Act on
Mew England Wage Slashes

FALL RIVER, Mass, Jan "a (FP).
Wage cuts Of 10 per cent ANNOUNCED
for $4,000 Fall River mill workers
doubles the total for all New Eng
land to $4,000 given slashes since the
season started. The Fall River Cotton
Manufacturers Association does not
even promise steady work, which, it
is understood, was sought by the Fall
River textile council of the American
Federation of Textile Operatives. IN
less the textile unions vote against
accepting the reduction, the lower
wages become effective Jan. 80 in
Fall River.
Beginning with non-union Pepper
ell Mills, at Biddeford, Me. and Low
ell, Mass, and company union Amos
keag at Manchester, N. H., the tex
tile wage cutting spread to many
smaller mills. Ipswich Hosiery Mills
at Ipswich, Lowell and Gloucester,
Mass, cut and were met with a strike.
The American Federation of Full
Fashioned Hosiery Workers is lead
ing the fight against the cut. Open
shop Cheney Silk Mills at South
Manchester, Conn.,, also cut.
Aroused by the quick spread of the
cuts, the Rhode Island textile coun-
Gil of the United Textile Workers
Union began to raise funds. Organ
izer Joseph Reagon was sent to tackle
Amoskeag. Rhode Island workers
prepared to meet an expected attack
by Manville-Jenckes mills.
Then the Stevens mill in Fall River
cut and soon the big American Print
ing Co. followed outside the
manufacturers association. That
made a general cut in Fall River
mills inevitable. The A. F. T. o. locals
protested. The U. T. W. locals want
ed to strike but couldn't risk it alone.
Both groups of unions are meeting
to act on the general cut. And now
nelghboring New Bedford workers.
most OF them employed in making
fine goods, fear the cut will spread
to their city.

FALL RIVER MILL
FIRST ON STRIKE,
1000 WALK OUT
Strike Vote on Wage
Cut Set for Tonight

FALL RIVER, Mass, Jan. "a
Nearly 1000 workers in the Awk-
wright Mills walked out of the factory
when the superintendent announced
10 per cent wage cut. As result
the owners have been compelled to
close the mills.
The workers had just entered the
factory to begin their morning work
when the announcement was made.
The mill had reopened Monday morn
ing after having been shut down for
over week. 1t is believed that at
that time when the employers saw
resentment aroused by talk of a
pending wage cut they closed down
the shop as threat.
More Strikes Seen.
The spontaniety of this strike is
believed to show the probable course
of action by the workers in nearly all
the textile mills in this city. Most
of them have announced simihar wage
cuts to take effect next Monday.
All the unions affiliated with the
Textile Council here are to meet to-
night to decide whether to accept the
10 per cent reduction demanded by
he Fall River Textile Manufacturers
association.
FALL RIVER, Jan. 24.-Following
the recent conference held between
the Fall River Textile Council and the
Fall River Cotton Manufacturers
Association, the employers definitely
announced Saturday that they intend
to carry thru 10 per cent wage re-
duction.
In addition to this decision, which
has been pending for several weeks,
the bosses further announced that
they cannot guarantee steady en-
ployment, even if the wage cut is ac-
cepted by the 10000 workers af-
fected
Meetings of the unions affiliated
with the council will be held as soon
as they can be arranged, was an
nounced by the union. Saying that
the workers will probably refuse to
accept the wage cut, because accept
ance means starvation on the job,
Abraham Binns, vice president of the
American Federation of Textile
Operatives said: "They might as well
starve on the streets fighting the
wage slash"
