the work day from seven and a half
to eight hours would result in losses
to the industry" and that sit would
be better to merely remove objection
able clauses in the bill"
J. H. Thomas, Lord of the Privy
Seal, and in charge of the govern
ment's unemployment work, today
stated that he was ready to leave for
Canada to arrange for greater emil
grafton of workers from England to
that country.
His plan for unemployment relief
therefore seems little different from
that of former premier Baldwin,
which was a complete failure as far
as helping the English workers was
concerned, though it did assure the
English factory owners of large sup
plies of cheap labor and permanent
army of jobless men waiting to be
picked over by the bosses. Canada
itself has an unemployment prob
lem, and English workers sent there
during the harvest season have been
underpaid, cheated, and left to starve
when the harvest is over.

rather than to pet and coddle him

cleaned the Tories out of this state
at Moore's Creek, so let their pos
terity clean the sacred soil from the
pollution of those who would attempt
to stir up strife among our people

monwealth."
Hate the Strikers.
The people who are to be CLEANED
out" for shooting the police chief
in the back" and stirring up
strife" etc, are the strikers, ex-
plotted by the ten-hour work day and
longer, and laboring for about $40 a
week. Driven from their houses and
living in tent colony, they resisted
an attempt to massacre them by
deputies owned by the mill company,
and one mill gunman who was not
even a deputy. Most of them are
also descendants of those who fought
the Tories, but this the Gazette, the
News Herald, and the Charlotte
News conveniently forget.
Prefers U. T. w.
The Gastonia Gazette is also much
pleased with and reprints an article
from the Manufacturers Record, in
which a certain Ernest H. Harring-
ton, of 181 Angel St., Providence, R.
l., writes about the difference, from
the employers point of view, be-
tween the United Textile Workers
and the Textile Mill Committees, the
precursors of the National Textile
Workers Union. He says that the
United Textile Workers were really
trying to help the bosses by strik-
ing, but not so the Mill Committees.
From the United Textile Workers
the thumps might have been in
tended as helpful message, but no
such kindly intent appeared back of
The blows administered by the Tex
tile Mill Committees, or whatever
name the radical strikers chose to
lake"
The Gazette, like the mill bosses,
prefers well-tamed unions, which
will think more of the interests of
the industry" than of raising star
7ation wages.

the 1929 agreement, will be conduct
ed by the committee together with
the executive board.
Evidence revealed a cesspool of
other corruption, according to re-
ports, including the sale of jobs by
business agents and other officials
of the union, for sums varying from
500 to 5000. Charges are also made
that these worthless repeatedly made
Objectionable proposals to the wives
of walters, in return for jobs for
their husbands. Lehman'3 bank book,
brought into evidence, showed a de-
posit of $500 for the month of
March, which he blandly tried to ex-
plain as returns from the sale of
cocoa to the restaurant bosses, by
which he had made an honest living
while out of office in 1928.
Bosses Defend Grafters.
An Illuminating feature of the
case, and one which sheds a glaring
light on the affectionate relations
between the restaurant bosses and
the union officials, is the fact that
three bosses of the restaurant which
gave the bride swore out affidavits
declaring that Lehman and his
friends were innocent. The affida-
Wits were negotiated by Borson of
the Delicatessen Clerks, 302, and
president of the strikebreaking
Food Council" which was set up
with the aid of the socialist United
Hebrew Trades.
Even now, incidentally, the yellow
Forward" is concealirg the names
of the grafters involved.
Rubinfelt a Grocery Salesman
That Rubinfelt's fight on Lehman
was not animated by his interest for
the union is proved by the fact that
he himself, following his defeat as
secretary of the union, now main
tains close lucrative connections with
the restaurant owners as a grocery
salesman but not so lucrative as
to dampen his ambitions to get back
into office.
In an attempt to whitewash the
strikebreaking face of the union, at
the same time working hand in hand
with the bosses, the fake progress
sives" hired Louis Mailman, law
yer high in the councils of the So
cialist party, to act as legal adviser
to the investigating committee.
Lehman, in making a feeble at
tempt at defense, charged that the
attack on him was instigated byI
Communists from Union Square"
In order to prevent the rank and file
from taking any initiative, and also
to prevent any beans being spilled
about the socialists, Shiplacoff, man.
ager of the Pocketbook Workers
Union, was brought in as an "impar-
tial" chairman. Shiplacoff's strike
breaking activities resemble Leh-
mans, inasmuch as he has just or
dered the workers of his organiza-
ton back to the shops without a
union agreement. Lehman implied
that Shiplacoff and he had many
things in common by saying that
Brother Shiplacoff has his troubles
