SOUTHERN WAGE
CUTS EXPOSED,
BOSSES Silent
UTW Raises Big Fund
For Unionization
By ESTHER LOWELL


Southern textile mills actually are
cutting wages despite statements in
dicating the contrary, asserts the
New York Journal of Commerce.
While various New England mills
have cut wages 10 per cent, arousing
the United Textile Workers Union
protest, Southern mills have been
saying that they are mot consider
ing wage cuts" The Journal of Com
merce exposes the facts in sensa-
tional editorial.
From reliable sources information
has come, the editorial states,, "that
a number of Southern mills have al
ready quietly cut wages and said
nothing about it. These mills, at any
rate, may truthfully be said not to
be considering wage cuts at pres
ent."
A New Challenge
To the United Textile Workers
council in Rhode Island, which is rails
ing $4,000 "to fight wage cuts" in
New England, the Southern mills
action brings a new challenge. The
U. T. w. has announced, through
president John Barry of the New
Hampshire federation of labor, it's
intention to organize the Amoskeag
Mills at Manchester, N. H., where the
union was crushed in the 1922 strike
and company union formed.
Many northern mills own southern
branches or are linked through job
bers with southern mills, as study
of the Boston Women's Trade Union
League shows. And now northern
and southern yarn mills have joined
in an agreement to stop production
from Friday noon to Monday morn
ing each week, still further reducing
workers earnings. Two northern
jobbers are uniting $50 southern yarn
mills in one consolidated company.
Wages Are $10.33
With textile workers in South Caro-
lima averaging only $10.33 week and
those in North Carolina getting only
$13.63, wage cuts are serious to
southern mill workers. Textile work.
ers in Massachusetts earn 43 per cent
more hourly and SO per cent more
weekly than those in North Carolina,
the best of the southern states in that
respect, says Paul Blanshard in his
new study of Labor in Southern Cot
ton Mills published by the New Rel
public), quoting official figures.

there can be no Pan-American confer
ence which the United States govern

further its imperialistic plans.
American Imperialism is today
everywhere on the offensive. The
rape of Nicaragua, new drive
against Mexico, intensified measures

The Pan-American path of Wall
