The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1929-12-23

In the last year the stretch-out system has
been introduced into southern mills, whereby
each worker is required to handle more looms,
or spools, etc., and the rate each operation
has been lowered until workers find it i'm
possible to maintain their former wage level,
even though they are speeding up at terrific
rate. For example, one worker reported that
his wages had been cut from $500 to $1100,
and his work increased from eight sides to
sixteen. Another, who used to operate twenty
four looms for $500, now operates seventy
two for $2100. These schemes of rationaliza-
ton, together with the falling wages and long
hours have lead to series of revolts in the
southern industry within recent months.
While in southern mills men and women are
usually paid an identical rate for the same
work, there are few operations equally open
to men and women, and on those operations
which primarily "women's jobs" the rate
is far lower than on those performed by men,
This condition prevails regardless of the rela-
tive skill of the operation. For example,
DRAWN in,' highly skilled process per-
formed wholly by women, is poorly paid. Ne
gro workmen also are Disseminated against
Coiored men and women are not employed at
the machines, except in rare instances, but
clean the cotton and do manual work around
the mill, and for this they receive miserable
pay. A government study on Negro Women
in Industry shows that the average earnings
of colored women in textile mills range from
four to six dollars week.
Because of the practice of sex discrimina-
ton in wages, mill employers are especially
keen on having white women in the mills. In
the cotton growing states, in 1919, women
composed 36 per cent of the total textile
wage-earning group About forty per cent of
these are married women. This is much
higher rate than that for all American indus
tries, which is 24.5 per cent. AS soon as chill
dren reach working age, fourteen years, they
also enter the mill. Child labor below the
age of fourteen is not as common as it for
merly was, although it is still prevalent. The
1920 census report six per cent of North Caro-
lina's textile workers as below the age of six
teen, and six and three-tenths of South Caro-
lina's mill force, with approximately $500
child laborers in cotton mills in the southern
states. How many of these child laborers are
below fourteen years of age is not certain,
to children below the minimum working age is
VIGOROUSLY high, especially in South Carolina
and Georgia mills. Also the laws against child
labor are poorly enforced in many sections, so
that altogether the figures on the amount of
children at work in southern cotton mills are
probably under-statements of the actual sit
uation. Yet the workers grim determination
to keep their children out of the mills as long
as possible, and to give them at least mini

Belgian Congo in Crisis

BRUSSELS (By MailD The Belgian Congo
is suffering from an economic crisis. Even the
most prosperous province of Katanga has been
badly hit. In a speech made few days ago
the Colonial Minister Tchoffen promised in
creased tax reductions for the colonial exploit
ers in order to assist them to tide over the bad
period. The Belgian colonial exploiters are
suffering severely from the competition Of their
"allies' the British ard French imperialists.
In addition, there are serious disturbances
amongst the navies. The imperialist press
seeks to conceal the truth by writing about ina
tive feuds,' religious sectarianism, etc. In
reality the trouble is caused by the mass ar
rests in consequence of the persistent refusal
Of the natives to pay the intolerable taxes and
in consequence of mass assertions from the
various forced labor undertakings.

BY EARL BROWDER.

WHILE LOVESTONE was a leader Of the
Party, he worked under a heavy burden"
in developing his opportunist policies, because
he could not openly join hands with all his
right-wing brothers throughout the world. He
found it necessary, if he would maintain his
position in the American Party, to echo the
Comintern denunciations of the right-wi1g ele-
ments in other sections of the Comintern. As
result came the famous theories Of "excep-
tionalism," demonstrating the inevitable ESQ
lation' of opportunists attempting to operate
in Communist Party
Since Lovestone broke his connections with
The Party, he has moved rapidly to end this
isolation from his brother opportunsts. The
Brar--cr and Thalheimer whom he denounced
year ago, now give the policy to the Love
stone organ, which openly identifies itself with
the liquidators in Germany with the traitor
Hais in Czechoslovakia, with the expelled
Alsace nationalists and French city counselors
who refused to break off their collaboration
with the socialist party, and with all renegade
elements thrown out of the Communist Inter
national, inc. ding Trotskyists.
The latest step in this direction is reported
in No. a of Lovestone's counter-revolutionary
organ in which he boasts of 'receipt of
donation of 500 from comrades in Mexico
'n9 pledge for further support"
Who are Lovestone's Comrades in Mexico?n
They are Diego Rivera, Reyes Perez, Luis
Monzon and Fritz Bach, recently expelled from
tie Iex.can Party, who have joined with the
bourgeois politician Denegri to found an "Op-
position C.P." supported and financed by the
Mexican government, which in turn is sup
ported and financed by Wall Street.
This y and "pleCse for further support"
comes from the treasury of the Mexican gov
-lnment, wh,. = turn secured it through
Ambassador 4orrow, representative Of Wash
ington and Wall Street.
When the Mexican government began its
campaign of terror and murder against the
workers and peasants, the Mexican Commu-
MIST Party ordered those Of its members in
government employment to leave their Jobs
and join the struggle against the government.
Diego Rivera refused to resign from his posi-
tion Of Director of the Government School Of
-.rts, on the ground that he was accustomed
20 lead bourgeois life" and could not give

up his government salary. Monzon received
his government job after he split from the
Party, becoming labor" attache to the Mexi-
can Embassy in Berlin. Perez accepted the
position of head of a "Rubio for president
organization in Jalisco and campaigned for
Wall Streets candidate. Bach remains in
nice job in the Bureau of Labor, by being
"loyal" to the government.
This choice collection of scoundrels find it
quite fitting to declare their solidarity with
Lovestone, by sending him some of the blood
money which they receive for supporting the
assassination of Rodriguez, leader of the peas
ants league, and the massacre of several
thousand peasants and workers. 1t is a part
of the government price paid to these rene
gades for joining it, the outlawing of the
Communist Party and the revolutionary Trade
Union Confederation.
And Lovestone boasts of this support from
his comrades in Mexico!" In the light of
Lovestones latest evolution, new understanding
may be had of his appearance in court in
1920 a state witness in the case of Harry
Winitsky, which was mentioned in passing in
the Daily Worker editorial of Nov. 80. He
received immunity from prosecution by agree
ing to testify; his testimony was referred to
by the judge in charging the jury as the basis
Iol d NGIulNV VI SullCy against w lIllISky hDOuI
that time there were several splits in the I'M
derSround party, and in the confusion Love-
stone escaped from having to answer to the
Party for his uct.
This case came be- re the International
Control Commission of the Comintern some
years later That body, after reviewing the
case, declared that Lovestone had been guilty
Of conduct impermissible in Communist; but
in view of his own admission of this fact, and
of the lapse of time since it happened, with the
America Party having in the meantime ac-
cepted him a worker in its ranks and in
It's leadership, that the case should be 81 ,sed
Undc normal crcumstc aces the case would
Eve been closed even now. But Lovestone
has shown by his present renegacy, by his
slanderous attacks upon the Party and Com
intern, and by his open collaboration with the
enemies of the revolutionary working class
that his testimony for the state in 1920 was
not an accident
Loveseone has ended his Isolation" from
his brothers in treachery, entering in open and
shameless solidarity with them But this marks
the completion of his isolation from the rev.
olutionary working class, which knows him
Tor the traitor that IL is.

mum of education, has had its effect. Due to
workers agitation and struggles, such laws as
there restricting child labor have been
placed on the statute books. Also the COM
panies wish literate workmen and this means
that children must be free to go to school for
a few terms There is another type of child
labor described in the first chapter, where the
oldest child below fourteen years stays at
home to keep house and mind the younger
children while both parents work in the mill.
There is an unintentional irony in the mill
owners proud statement that the southern tex
tile industry is "a family industry" For the
fact of the matter is, that conditions Of SOUTH
ern mill life are rapidly destroying family or
ganization among mill workers. In agricul-
tural days the family formed the basic econ
omic and social unit, but modern industry has
removed these older bases of family life, and
also has brought many new conditions, such
as mothers in industry, factory child labor,
families divided between day and night shifts,
and the unstabilizing effects of urban life.
While southern mill work is largely non
seasonal in character, Dixie mill hands lose
more time from work than northern opera
tives. The latter lost 1872 per cent Of their
working time in 1924, while southern opera
tives lost 1888 per cent. The "spare hand sys-
tem," whereby each mill keeps approximately
fifteen per cent more help than it actually
needs in order to fill all possible vacancies,
cuts down on the time worked by southern
operatives, for if the spare hand does not get
sufficient work to support himself, regular
workers are asked to remain out few days
so that the spare hand may work! One
fourth of lost time was due to the mill ''run-
min low" closing down for brief period;
and the remaining fourth was due to ill health.
Southern mill workers, due to their long
hours of work. the heat and moisture in the
mills, and their impoverished standard Of liv-
ing, are subject to many epidemcs and other
diseases. Both birth and death rates are
higher and the span of life shorter than those
for the total population of the United States.
