spoke for the union. We must or
ganize the unorganized; it is the
only way to improve conditions of
the workers."
A Gastonia worker reported:
They've got US stretched out as far
as we go. We are going to organize
the South in spite of the boss, mill
tia and police. We are going to or
ganize the Negro and white workers
into the N.TW.U. I told the boss /:
IF l can work 10 hours for you
can work 18 or 10 hours for the
union
"There are 1000 people working
in our MILL" declared a worker from
Draper, N. c.. "The mill is owned
by Marshall Field & Co., who own
mills at Charlotte, Draper and
Leaksville. The people are clamor-
ing for the union. The only success
full method is the one Fred Beal
and the N.TW.U. employed in the
South--a house-to-house canvass"
Best Ella May Monument.
Yves Williams, of Bessmer City,
n. c., said: "The only chance to
win is to organize the unemployed.
l was on the truck when Ella May
was shot down. She fought until
she died for the union and for the
LID. The strongest monument we
can put up for Ella May is to or
ganize the South, because that is
what she bought for.
Section workers, mainly Negro,
or a railroad, face a wage cut. Only
5 per cent are organized"
In the silk mills conditions are
very bad. "We work IL hours on
the night shift and a 9-hour day
shift" said worker from Scran-
ton, Pa. In Scranton, pointed out
one of the delegates, "most women
are employed in the mill, working
for $40 to $12 a week. More or
ganizers should be sent to organize
the workers, especially the women.
"Wage cuts are the rule the last
few weeks" reported Paterson
mill worker. "Weavers used to get
9 cents, now for the same work the
price is 5 cents. Half of the time
we must work in the dark. The
workers are pretty much dissatis-

fled and want action. Conditions
are very ripe for struggle in Pat
erson. All that remains to do is to
build strong union to lead good
strike here in Paterson"
In the wool and worsted mills, as
well as in the knit goods factories,
the conditions are the same-be-
coming worse and worse. Delegate
Deak reporting on Passaic, said:
Conditions are very bad. Out of
10000 who were out on strike only
5000 are now employed.
"In Lawrence, in 1922, there were
10000 textile workes employed;
now there are 5000. If the machines

ers are deducted for the time the
worker is not working"
Speed-up in Silk.
A statement issued by Clarence
Miller, secretary of the executive
board of the N.TW.U., one of the
Gastonia defendants, faced with a
20-year Jail sentence, for his union
activities, says:
"Silk workers live under an in
tense speeding up of work. Doub-
ling up of machines, new devices on
old machines, new machines and
new processes with fresh division of
labor, longer hours, extension of
piece rate in place of time rate-all
these familiar types of speed-up
have been tried out in a drive to in
crease the silk workers output of
goods. Where formerly a weaver
ran only two looms 'in the silk he
is now expected to run always four
and often six.
Results of this speed-up are seen
in the increased output of silk work
ers who thus increase the profits of
the bosses, but earn less in wages.
Average output of a silk worker has
increased by 35 per cent since the
war.
Wages Fall.
I "Woolen and worSted workers
have seen their earnings fall by IS
per cent since 1920. Average hourly
earnings of wooden and worsted
goods workers have been moving
downward, though not to quite the
same extent as in the cotton branch
Of the textile industry.
"Overproduction has been accom-
panied by widespread unemployment
in this industry since 1923. About
one-fourth of the workers have been
thrown out of work during this five
year period. When workers are out
of jobs the union will try to organ
ize them in councils of the unem-
ployed. The convention took steps
to set up these councils"

165 coo 600 marks revenue by increasing

met with opposition in the ReichStag and

THE BROAD RESULTS
This solitary example of public drunk
enness, 1 may say. is regarded here not as
an argument against prohibition but as
an argument for stopping bootlegging.
But in wet" California at large, you
find this state of things: rs per cent of
the working men owning their own
homes; three families out of every four
owning private motor car; high wages;
good feeding and excellent clothing,
every working class family taking its
leisure on the road on the Seashore. in
the woods OF the mountains; all with an
ample margin not only for their theaters
their magazines and their automobile
costs, but for saving and investing. They
do invest largely-in industrial concerns,
and in their City Bond Issues.
These people do not drink They have

ple-eyen those who offer cocktails to
their private guests-would rather
cocktail were never shaken on earth again
than that prohibition should cease or be
modified.
The prosperity of America is a huge
fact, unaffected by local waves of unem-
ployment. Rightly or wrongly, industrial
regularity, physical fitness. high speed,
high wages, high profits quick turnovers,
a general dissemination of wealth are
held to be partly due to prohibition and
largely promoted by it.
As accurate view of the prohibition
situation as I can give represents the law
as great social and economic success,
which has so revolutionized life for the
millions of the American people that they
seem to be absolutely pampered by the
goddess of fortune.

both the Constitution and the enacted law among
