the workers joined the struggle last
week, more than 800 families are

nish food to more than 5000 men,

hundreds of others must be taken
care of in Pineville, Lexington and
Charlotte. The responsibilities of
the Workers International Relief are
great but 1 am sure that it will

Vary Diet.
Before the beginning of the
strike a typical meal of a North
Carolina textile worker consisted of
biscuits, sour belly grease, sorgum
and potatoes.
among the food-stuffs distribu-
ted at the w. I. r. stations can be
found flour meal, potatoes, lard, salt
pork, gritz, milk for the babies,
coffee beans, cabbage and carrots.
All of these are not given every
day, but varied from time to time.
Boss for Starvation.
"The Workers international Re-
lief is being watched closely both
by the strikers and the mill own
ers. The strikers are watching it
to get food, so they will not starve
and will be able to fight on until
they win. The mill owners are
watching hoping that the food will
give out so the workers will starve!
1t is a grim game and if the re-
lief distribution centers continue to
furnish food, can only bring one
result, the victory of the workers.

Bessemer City Strike Demands.

Bessemer City Strike Demands.
GASTONIA, N. C. (By MaiD.-
The workers in the Goldberg Spin
ming Company Of Bessemer City
presented to the manager of the
American No. l Mill the following
demands which were voted on at a
mass meeting just prior to the CALI
ing of general strike in Bessemer
City:
/, an S-hour day; 2, 20 per cent
increase in pay for all operatives;
3, pay for all hanks run; A, SO per
cent reduction in rent; 5, abolition
Of the stretch-over system; 6, rec
ignition of the National Textile
Workers Union.
These demands characterize the
growing militancy of the workers in
their fight for better conditions.
The demand for an 8-hour day. COM
ing in the face Of state law that
makes the 55-hour work week legal,
is proof of general awakening
among the textile workers in the
south.
The third demand, pay for all
hanks run, was made after it was
learned that the company had re-
adjusted the "hank-clocks" so that
they would register 866 yards to the
hank instead of the standard $40
yards. In this manner the boss had
been gaining 26 yards on every hank
that was run. 1t had also been the
custom of the boss not to pay for
any fraction of a hank run. This
enabled him to make additional
profits amounting to thousands of
dollars over period of one week.
Bosses Violate Own Laws.
U. F. Taylor. a former worker in
the Loray mill in Gastonia, was
fired from that mill because he
threatened to expose the resident
manager, Tabor, for having these
hank clocks changed so that workers
on speeder frames would have to
lun $50 yards more yarn to rake
the clock register one hank. This
custom was--and still is-practiced
by the company in gross violation
of the state law and the United
States law on weight and measure.
