Ten firms, employing about so

No striker will return to work

Back GastOnia Defense.
The two conventions will be
used to mobilize masses OF
southern workers btck of the
GaStonit defense, and to break
down the fascist power which
threatens with death all active or
gan;zers of the textile workers." he
said.
The T.U.U.L. general secretary
indicated that an intensive organiza-
tion struggle throughout the South
would follow the conferences. Plans
will be laid at the T.U.U.L. south
ern convention to establish local in
dustrial and general leagues of the
T.U.U.L. throughout the South, and
probably series Of speakers will
be sent from the convention to tour
the industrial centers Of the Caro-
linas, Tennessee, Georgia, and Vir-
ginia and other southern states.
The organization campaign will be
concentrated particularly on those
sections where the workers show
they are ready for struggle.
For Concrete Demands.
Concrete plans of organization
and struggle will be formed in
Charlotte against the speed-up, the
stretch-cut system in the mills, the
rotten mill villages, the company
store extortion, TIE low wages, con-
stantly growing lower, and the mer-
ciless long hourc, and against the
brutal exploitation Of the youngest
children particularly.
Governor Gardner's use OF state
power to ruthlessly suppress every
attempt of the workers to assert
their rights to organize and strike
and the use of militia in Tennessee,
are giving the southern workers a
fine lesson in the role of the state
in labor struggles, and the reporters
at the conventions will further ex-
plain and analyse this.

OIL TRUCKMEN'S

AFL Official Calls for
Govt. Strikebreak;

TUUL Calls for Fight
On Intervention
BULLETIN.

A general strike of all truck driv
ers in the city, with consequent
paralyzation of food, fuel and other
deliveries, was threatened last night
when delegates of 16 Chauffeurs'
unions lined up behind the striking
gasoline truckmen.
Indications that the militancy of
the strikers is so great that they
will not brook the usual A. F. of L..
sell-Out was seen in an sos for
legal intervention sent out by
Michael Cabin, business manager of
the Teamsters' Union, last night.
"The temper of our men is such
that unless some city, state or fed
eral authority steps in to compel
the Standard Oil Company and other
distributors to listen to reason, we
will not be responsible for the con-
sequences, he said.
With Tammany Hall frantically
rushing more mobs of police and
gunmen to the aid of the oil bosses,
to intensity the terror in the strike
zones. the struggle of the 5000 oil
truck drivers is rapidly spreading to
other industries. Three hundred
truckmen employed by the Austin
Nichols Co., manufacturers of Sun
BEAM Food, went out in sympathy
with the oil workers on Thursday,
and have been joined by the drivers
of the Royal Glass Co., Brooklyn,
and additional concerns.

, did Negro speak from the
same platform with you?" de-
manded James F. Newell, men,
Der of the mill owners prose-
ton.
Defense counsel objected to the
question as irrelevant and imma-
terial. But the judge took the mat
ter very seriously. He sent the jury
to its room, and permitted Cansler
to argue for a considerable period
that any recognition of Negro as
on an equality with a white man
proved that the white man could not
be believed on the witness stand.
No Ruling On Politics.
The Judge finally ruled, after the
jury of conservative white farmers
had been influenced by the first re-
marks, and the race jingoistic ap-
peals had apparently done all they
could to the sentiment in the court
room, that the objection should be
sustained.
There is no ruling at this writing
on the question taken under advise
ment yesterday by Judge Barnhill,
whether the political and religious
or anti-religious beliefs of the de-
PENDANTS and defense witnesses are
to be made part of the proceedings
gaainst them in this trial.
Here too, however, the prosecu-
tion's constant declarations that the
unionists are Communists and Ath-
eists, sent in to overthrow the Amer
lean home and the state of North
Carolina have come before the
jury, which is as religious as it is
conservative.
The prosecution read a statement
alleged to have been made by Say
lors after his arrest with 70 others,
all charged with shooting Aderholt.
This statement differed in some
particulars from Saylor's testimony
today, but Saylors leclared it had
