tile centers.
The general outcome of this situa-
ton for the workers is the unpre-
cedented growth of unemployment,
wage cuts, etc. Official govern
ment statistics show that in March,
1928, only 38 per cent of cotton
workers were working full time.
While in April, 1928, cotton goods
workers only 80 per cent, silk goods
workers AZ per cent, wooden and
worsted workers % per cent worked
full time.
There are thousands of skilled
workers in the New England textile
centers who have lost hope Of ever
securing employment. Hundreds of
families who have resided in the
textile area for years are compelled
daily to leave the communities. In
New England men depend econom-
ically on the women, who, because
their labor power is much cheaper,
obtain work more easily than the
men. A specific instance is that Of
a Polish woman of my acquaintance
who made $1,000 weekly and had

By OLGA GOLD

The process Of "rationalizing"
the textile industry has affected it
to greater extent than most other
industries. Not only has the in
stallation of new machinery left
thousands of experienced workers
jobless, but the shifting of textile
mills cotton to the southern, states,
silk to the coal regions, have con-
tributed greatly to this process.
The capitalists have discovered
that the south is an extremely good
place for the slave driving textile
industry. In the first place, it is
close to the raw material; in the
second place. there is, as yet, no
sign Of organization among the
workers. In the south, where all
the evils of chattel slavery exist in
practice, the workers are conse-
quently more submissive.
Must Sign Contract
In many instances worker can
not obtain employment in the south
unless he signs a contract that his
whole family will work for the same
slave driver. The following table,
from the Monthly Labor Review"
shows average wages and hours of
labor in cotton goods manufacturing
for 1925; since then several wage
cuts have ! been forced upon the

to support her husband and little
ones. And such cases are ex-
tremely common.
Some Factors
Some of the important factors
of the present cotton workers
strike in New Bedford are as fol-
lows: First, it indicates the awak-
ening of the most exploited section
Of the American working class;
that the sufferings of these workers
have reached such a degree that
they can no longer endure it. They
are beginning to awaken to the need
of calling strikes, protesting and de-
handing their rights. They are de-
termined to build new union to
include not only a few loonfixers
and few other skilled workers.
but to embrace the entire mass of
textile workers. Another important
factor of utmost significance is that
the strike is taking place during an
election year at the time when the
capitalist class is most theoretically
and effectively carrying on cam
paign to poison the minds of the
workers with various injurious illu-
sions about it's government. These.
workers are learning daily on the
picket lines and at mass meetings
about the nature and structure of
