we have reached the point where
only the organization of the textile
workers into a mighty industrial
union can improve our conditions
and defeat the bosses move to cleo
trocute our Is brothers and send 8
more to prison for long terms.
"Manville- Jenckes and the rest of
the mil owners are using all known
means to drive US back to slavery
of the worst kind. The textile oper-
ators and their henchmen have low
cred our wages, they have increased
the hours of work, they have raised
our rents, they are increasing the
speed-up and stretch-out system,
they have hired gunner and thugs
and spies to drive us back to work,
they have invaded our union head
quarters by force of arms and met
textile workers who stood up in de-
tense of their lives and union. They
are attempting now to burn in the
electric chair Is of our brothers and
sisters-organizers and members of
the N. T. w. U.
"The bosses do not want an in
dustrial union of the workers. They
do not want any union, but if forced
to have a union they would rather
have company union of the bosses
like Manville-Jenckes is trying to
organize at the Loray Mill or a
union like the U. T. w. The U. T.
w. is basically a craft union that
divides the workers in their strug-
/ gle against the united force of the
bosses. The U. T. W. cares moth
ing for low paid workers. The U.
7. w. is the bosses efficiency union
that helps the textile bosses speed
up the workers. The U. T. w. is
another company union. At Passaic,
New Bedford, at Elizabethtown and
various other places where this
union had the opportunity it has
betrayed the workers and has helped
the mill owners to send the work
ers back to worse conditions.
A Fake Conference.
"The U. T. w. held it's southern
conference over seven hundred
miles from the struggle. They held
the conference at Rye, New York,
with no textile workers of the South
present but representatives from
civic groups, liberals, pacifists and
labor takers who are experienced in
selling out the workers. The con-
ference was held at Mrs. Daniel
O'Day's luxurious estate. She in
herited her millions from the Rookie
Teller fortune that was robbed from
our brothers in other industries.
"Our southern conference will be
held in the heart of the struggle
and will be attended by workers who
are elected from the mills of the
southern states who are building
their own union, the National Tex
tile Workers Union. The National
Textile Workers Union organizes
all the workers in the mill into one
big industrial union.
"Our union fights to unite all the
workers Of the industry no matter
what their religion, race or nation
atty is. All workers together into
one big union of the whole textile
industry.
"The Southern Textile Workers
Conference held at Bessemer City
will elect delegates to attend the
Cleveland Convention of August 81,
a convention Of delegates from the
textile mills, steel mills, coal miners,
garment workers, all workers in all
industries. The Cleveland Conven-
ton will unite together the workers
Of all Industries in order to make
their fight against the low wages
and bad working conditions stronger.
"The conference is called to:
"O) Defend the Is textile work
ers the bosses are trying to send to
the electric chair and the textile
workers they are trying to send to
long prison terms.
