GASTONIA, N. c., June 23.-
The black shadow of lynching hangs
over the National Textile Workers
Union organizers and local strikers
in Jail here. From the most reliable
sources comes information checked
and rechecked to the effect that or
ders from the higher ups are to soft
pedal open talk of lynching and wait
patiently for other instructions.
On the surface all is quiet. I'M
derneath in Chamber of Commerce
and the Loray mill official circles,
lynching propaganda stews and
SINNERS. All defendants including
Fred Beal, with the exception of
George Carter still held in Ashville,
are in the Gastonia jail. The hatred
of the local ruling class and its
hangers-on for these workers has no
limits. Especially is there hatred
for Beal whom the workers really
love and trust and whom even the
Chamber of Commerce crowd re-
spects and fears for his quiet energy
and obvious sincerity. Louis Nc
Laughlin, steadfast and loyal to the
union is another target for the mill
owners venom. All through the bit
ter struggle he has shown great mill
fancy and ability. More even than
that, they resent the coming of
capable union organizers from other
textile centers especially in the
north. The local rulers fear the
development of union and strike
leadership from the ranks of the ma
tive workers.
Not even the women prisoners,
Vera Bush, Amy Schechter, ana
little seventeen year old Sophie Mel
vim, are safe in the Gastonia jail.
The danger does not come from any
popular source. There is not the
slightest danger of huge crowd as
sembling and demanding the heads
of the worker defendants. The
danger comes from a more or less
organized and disciplined group of
the middle class operating through
the various secret and semi-secret
organizations.

of the oldest and most conservative
families in this state, whose inclina-
tions towards even philosophical
radicalism are nil, but who stands
simply for legal procedure as against
lynching and who has no reason to.

Hear Of Suffering of
Fur Workers

A giant mass picketing
demonstration is expected to
take place this morning at 7.30
in connection with the general
strike of the furriers which be-
gan last Wednesday.
Not only furriers are called to
the picket line, but also all mem
bers of the Needle Trades Workers
Industrial Union, which is leading
the furriers' struggle, and all left
wing and progressive workers who
want the furriers to win their strike
for union conditions.
Against the furriers are aligned
the bosses and all the dark forces
of reaction: the scab "Joint Coun-
cil', the labor traitors of the A. F.
of L., the brutal Tammany police,
the boss-serving courts, the Social
ists", and the gangs of the under
world.
1t is against these forces that The
Industrial Union is calling for this
mighty demonstration, to show clear
ly and unquestionably the temper
of the fur workers and of the New
York left wing.
A large number of delegates repre-
senting over 100 left wing and pro-
gressive labor organizations attended

ORGANIZE THE UNORGANIZED.


The frame-up against the Gastonia prison
ers is an attempt on the part of the capitalist
forces to stifle the campaign for the organ
Izatlon of the unorganized workers in the
southern slave pens. For years the South
has been heralded as place where there
is an abundance of cheap, unorganized labor.
The strike wave in the textile and rayon
industry of the South exploded this myth In
practically all the principal textile centers the
workers show unmistakable signs of increas-
ing readiness to fight against the miserable
conditions imposed upon them by the mill
owners. Workers in many other industries of
the South are making demands upon the en-
ployers. The movement for organization into
fighting unions is gaining tremendous i'm
petus. The entrance of the new National Tex
tile Workers Union into the situation gave
determined, fighting leadership to the work
ers in that industry. Hence the wave of fury
unleashed against the leaders of this move
ment.
The organization of the unorganized work
ers in the South is of tremendous significance
for the whole labor movement of the United
States. So long as one section of the country
is unorganized it increases tremendously the
difficulties of fighting against the employers
of labor in any other part of the country
Thus the drive to organize the unorganized
masses of the South directly concerns every
worker in the United States.
FIGHT AGAINST NATURALIZATION.
The strike of the workers in Gastonia was
against the naturalization process that makes

short time. The strike was for living wage
instead of the paltry So to $40 week re-
ceived by the average worker for twelve
hour day. 1t was against the frightful speed
up system and for decent living and working
conditions
In two and half months the workers of
Gastonia have been subjected to the most
unrestrained violence on the part of the mill
owners and their agents. They have been
beaten into insensibility. Women, old and
young alike, have been assaulted and NAL

The union organized tent colony to shelter

The very fact that they were able to exist
