An attempt to use propaganda
against the Manville-Jenckes mill
strikers was made by the mill bar

it failed. An imported speaker, one
Chapel, from Boston, was hired by
the bosses to get up at a meeting
and ask the textile workers to go
back to work-at the same starva-
tion wages ranging around $40 a
week of so hours. But this poor

ute to the work of George Pershin

tunity to participate in the Conven
tion and stated that in the futur
the Southern and Northern workers
will fight side by side.
Crouch pointed out that the pres
ence of this delegation from the
South was an event of great sig
nificance for the League. He de-
scribed the extreme exploitation of
the Southern workers and pointed
out that until few months ago they
knew little of united class struggle.
Today these workers are fighting as
militantly as any workers in the
North ever fought. Not less than
fifty per cent of the strikers are
young workers, as are also the large
majority of the Southern textile
workers. There is a great field for
the organization of the young South
ern workers, he said, and the
League must be alive for the task.
The work in the South is the task
that demands complete unity in the
League and unified concentration
for the great tasks ahead.

Full Appeal in DAILY"
Tomorrow

The American Negro Labor Con-
gress has issued May First appear,
which the Daily Worker will pub
lish in it's special May Day edition
tomorrow. The call, which is ad-
dressed to the revolutionary work
ers of the world, greets the Negro
proletariat, which it characterizes
as slowly but surely wrestling from
the hands of the Negro professional
and business class the leadership of
the Negro masses.
1t analyses the causes Of the op-
preston of the Negro as a race and
class, and the basic inadequacy of
its present leadership, which does
not understand these economic and
social causes.
The appeal ends with a call to
the Negro masses to. mobilize against
their class enemies for the struggle
to overflow capitalism in the U. S.
and throughout the world.
