Continued from Page One
Garry forces gave lip service to the
fight against the contractor system
but showed it's true character when
it refused to make any fight
against Lewis. This did not save
them from expulsion by the Lewis
machine which, carrying out the
policy of the coal operators, is de-
termined to root out all opposition.
New Union Has Correct Plan.
Anthracite miners see in this
event another confirmation of the
correctness of the policy of the
newly formed National Miners
Union whose leaders from the start
condemned the unprincipled activi-
ties of the McGarry group.
The National Miners Union is
planning a meeting in District 7 in
the near future which will initiate
drive in the anthracite. One union
of the anthracite and the bitumin-
Gus miners is the policy of the new
union, rank and file control by the
coal diggers and militant strug-
gle against the coal operators as
against the policy of betrayal which
is the program of the Lewis ma
chine.

NEARING SPEAKS
IN DELAW ARE
TOWN IN tour
First Time Red Speaker
Talked There

For the first time in its history
the ultra conservative town of New
ark, Delaware was visited by Com
munist speaker when Scott Near
ing addressed a crowd of approx
mately 1877 people at the Opera
House on Monday evening, Sept. 10.
"You will have to face the Com
munist ideas and movement in the
next few years and in the campaign
Of 1925 was the challenge laid
down by the noted economist.
There is no essential difference be-
tween the democratic and republi-
can parties" said the speaker" for
both dwell on insignificant peculiar
tiles of the candidates and ignore
the really important issues such as
the concentration of wealth and the
submergence of the working class
while they differ in no essential way
on the issues they do deal with.
Union membership has decreased
by third since the war and many
unions are in a precarious position"
Nearing continued. Production has
increased two-fold since the war but
of the enormous profits all but a
few per cent has been made by a
few concerns while wages have not
increased and have in many indus
tries decreased Thus the working
class is faced with the need and the
desirability of forming strong
unions. The Workers Party aims
to organize these unions"
an the international field the
United States finds itself the domi-
nant nation due to its wealth and to
its loans and investments abroad"
Outlining this situation Nearing dis
cussed the possibilities of war
which he said were quite likely to
be stirred up in several different
ways"

SEES WORKERS
READY FOR NEW
TEXTILE union
Organizer Reports on
New England Tour

That the textile workers every
where are ripe for struggle and will
respond eagerly to the call for a
convention to organize new union
issued by the National Textile Mill
Committees is the opinion of John
Di Santo, Passaic textile worker,
who los lust completed a tour of
New Hampshire, Massachusetts, and
Connecticut textile centers for the
Textile Mill Committees. Di Santo
was one of the delegates to the
United Textile Workers Convention,
who was there to represent one of
the six local unions which broke
away because of the U. T. WIS re-
dictionary policies.
Everywhere conditions for the
workers are growing more and more
rotten" Di Santo stated yesterday
in an interview with the Daily
Worker representative. Every
where speed-up, long hours and I'M
employment are the order of the
day. The U. T. w. and the A. F.
T. o. are doing nothing to relieve
these conditions, and everywhere
the workers are completely dis
gusted with the leadership of these
organizations. The new union will
certainly go over big in New Eng
land"
In Lawrence, where the multiple
loom system prevails, Di Santo
found the workers in the Pacific
mill running los Draper automatic
looms. This compares with 80 looms
in Nashua, N. H., which is already
large number. Terrible unem-
ployment has cursed the city of
Lawrence for several years. Lowell,
Mass, is left a desert through the
removal or closing down of its mills
The tendency of the Massachusetts
mills to move either south or to
Maine is becoming greater with the
inducement of longer hours and
cheaper labor in these centers.
Maine has now offered a 80 per
cent cut in taxes as bait to manu-
facturers to move there. The 60
hour week for women as well as men
prevails in Maine, while Massachu-
sets is still ''hampered" from the
bosses point of view with the As
hour law for women.
A pay envelope of dye worker
in the American Printing Company
in Fall River, Mass, for 55 hours
work showed the enormous sum of
1891. Another workers envelope
contained $40 and some change for
60 odd hours work. Child labor is
abundant throughout New England,
Di Santo claims. Not only legalized
child labor of from ID to 16 years,
but the employment of children
younger than ID is also common.
Di Santos tour has helped to in
sure representation from New
England centers for the national
convention to be held on September
1928 at Irving Plaza, New York
City. Delegates have been elected
from the following centers, from
mill committees and workers clubs:
Manchester and Nashua, N. H.;
Lowell, Lawrence, Salem, Taunton,
Fall River, New Bedford, Holyoke,
Chicopee Falls, Easthampton, Mass,
and Shelton. New London. Norwich.

NEW YORK COTTON

NEW YORK, June Cotton
was steady today on buying by the
trade shorts and local interests,
apparently prompted by private re-.
ports of rain and wind storms in
certain parts of the central and
western portions of the cotton belt.
Such overnight weather develop
ments were considered unfavorable
and tended to offset the receipt of
lower Liverpool cables than had
been looked for. Sales of cotton
cloths at Fall River for the week
shove da further decline, the total
being estimated at 5000 pieces.

Hundreds Toiling to
Save Arkansas Leyee

Memphis Tenn, June 19.-R-
Hundreds Of men toiled on the
levees Of Arkansas today as the
crests Of the White and st. Francis
rivers slowly swept downstream.
The embankments, weak from last
years floods. were being strength
cned by additional sand bags and
engineers believed the principal
ones would hold.
The main levee in the big lake
districts of Mississippi county re-
ceived the attention Of a force dis
patched from here and was said to
be not in danger although its safety
depended largely upon the capacity
of drainage bitches to dispense
flood waters from the St. Francis.
Flood water released by the Ken
nett. Mo-, crevasse was nearing
Greene and Craighead counties
where 10000 acres probably will be
inundated.
Refugees were being cared for by
the Red Cross and were not in want
although there was no immediate
prospect of q return to their farms.
In jackson county alone, approx
mately 200 families were temporar.
lily homeless.
