eous sections. The $50 delegates
who have been already elected will
make this convention fully repre-
sentative one, covering much big
ger territory than the 113 delegates
who attended the convention of the
United Textile Workers held last
week, which represented only Az
cities.
Many Cities.
In Massachusetts the following
cities will be represented by dele
gates coming from wooden, worsted
and cotton mills: Lawrence, Lowell,
Fitchburg, Maynard, Blackstone,
Holyoke, Florence, Leeds, Waltham,
Taunton, Forge Village, Salem, New
Bedford, Fall River, Adams and
Easthampton. A delegation of Sc
workers will represent the Sc mills
on strike in New Bedford, fully
demonstrating the overwhelming
support which the National Textile
Mill Committees has among the
workers there. Twenty-Five workers
from Fall River will represent that
center, proving that the American
Federation of Textile Operatives,
which organized only a handful of
skilled workers there, and betrayed
even these few, has no hold upon
the workers of Fall River.
Pennsylvania will send delegates
from Philadelphia, Chester, Easton
Allentown, Bethlehem, Wilke s.
Barre, Scranton, Nanticoke, Old
Forge, Edwardsville, Luzerne and
Reading. The industries represented
from Pennsylvania will be wooler
and worsted, cotton, rayon, silk
throwing, silk weaving, hosiery anc
other knit goods and dyeing.

MILLINERS HOLD
PROTEST RALLY
Demand End of Right
Wing Terror

Rank and file members of the
Millinery Local "a yesterday crowd
ed Bryant Hall in a protest meeting
against the reactionary policies of
their union officialdom, and con-
demned unanimously in a resolution
the bureaucrats' provocation of
bloody attack on the membership at
the last union meeting, because the
militants there demanded the i'm
mediate passage of measures for
unemployment relief.
Workers beaten up at the last
membership meeting rose to speak
from the rostrum and tell how their
demands for an unemployment re-
lief fund for the ever growing circle
of jobless millinery workers was
answered by the officials with an
attack on those leading the fight
from the floor of the meeting Nor
ris Fein, Milton WEIGH, Victor Chi
bulsky, NJ. Eitzer and Eva Schaf-
fran spoke at the meeting.
Attack Misleaders.
The last to speak before passage
of the resolution was H. Zukowsky
leader of the left wing workers in
the union. After pointing out that
the last three years in the industry
we're the most prosperous in the
trade, and therefore a time when
better conditions can be fought for
and easily won, Zukowsky declared
that the leadership of the union had
not only not won any improvements
in working standards but had al
lowed the trade to develop the con-
tracing system and other evils
which were running the industry and
causing severe unemployment.
In proof of this contention he Of
fered the fact that the workers won
with comparative ease the conces-
sion of shorter hours after their
officials were ready to give up these
demands. Zaritsky, president of the
international, has always been and
still is openly propagating the re-
turn to the 44-hour week and the
piece-work system, he stated.

The leather industries today started

and the farmers and dairymen and
