ARKANSAS GALE
TAKES HUGE TOLL

LITTLEE ROCK. Ark, April II,
--Forty-four are dead, scores are
missing and believed dead, and 100
are injured in a tornado which car
ried destruction through whole Sec
tions of North Central Arkansas
last night.
The roughly assembled "homes"
rented to workers of the N5orthern
Ohio Lumber Company were stat
tered as the storm crashed through
the village of Parkin. Three Negro
tenants of the company shacks per-
ished and nine others met death
outside the village.
One family was crushed to death
in their home near Wynne. Hopes
were abandoned for the lives of the
two children who were asleep when
the house was RACED to the ground.
Only the injured were taken to
the hospitals near Swifton.

out the mill village of more than
5000 population.
The craftiness of David Clark is
seen in his leading editorial of the
current Southern Textile Bulletin.
He regrets" the open use of stop
watches by efficiency experts, and
urges bosses to use "tact" in intro
ducing the inhuman speed-up or
"stretch-out" system. II the affair
is properly handled" he assures
fellow prifiteers they need have mo
cause for alarm"
But not even the secret plotting
of David Clark and his kind can hide
from textile workers what the
stretch-out system means. Weavers
have been tnding more than 100
looms. One weaver, who had
handled "a looms at 1851 a week,
was made to run ia looms, but
could earn only $23 week.
Eight weavers at the Woodruff
Mills, owned by the Brandon Corp,
were running 900 looms with the
help of battery filters. At another
mill five section men in the card
room were earning $23 each a week,
but the number was cut to four men,
each earning only $17.25 a week.
When the number was later cut to
three, each man earned $2023. The
company was profiting at the rate
of $54 a week more than before.
Each worker was doing far more
work, but earning $2.77 less week.
Two workers out of five were job
less.
To put over such a speeding-up
on workers already worn out with
long hours of standing by thunder
ing machines, mill owners are urged
by the employers trade paper, Tex
tile World, to share with the work
ers some little part of the "gains
resulting from increased production
and decreased cost. If after such
basic conditions have been complied
with by the manufacturer the OPP
eratives feel that they are being I'M
justly treated, then the quickest way
of bringing them to their senses is
to revert temporarily to old condi-
lions and their accompanying smaller
pay envelopes"

KEEP SOLIDARITY.
Up IN STRIKE IN
pHILA. DRESS CO..
Picket Superior Shop
Despite Arrests

PHILADELPHIA, (By MaiD.-
The strike at the Superior Dress
Co.. located at 18th and Arch SITS,
almost in the center of the city,
continues in full swing.
The other day a girl, one of the
scabs recently hired by the Super
Tor Dress Co. to take the place of
the striking members of the Ma
tional Needle Trade Workers Indus
trial Union, was called by her
proper name-scab--and this scab
was brazen enough to start a fight
against the pickcts. The pickets,
led by Clara Yampolsky, did not
hesitate in defending themselves.
Seeing this the husband of the
scab, who had accompanied her, as
saulted other pickets in the line.
The police wanted to arrest only the
pickets, the boss of the factory be-
ing on hand to instruct the police,
and altho the line of pickets was
reduced, four OF them being ar
rested, the other pickets thru their
vigorous protests at this open
manifestation by the police of their
alliance with the bosses, forced the
police tc also arrest the scab and
her husband.
The police were loathe to do this
but all the pickets said in chorus
and with feeling, "You must arrest
the man who attacked US if you
arrest u.s."
Later in the morning one of the
scabs came along and assaulted an
other picket. The picket was ar
rested, but the police did not bother
the scab.
The picket line did not bulge be-
cause of these arrests, but re-
manned faithfully in line, picketing
turnout the entire day.
The near riots of the morning
were repeated at the closing hours
of the work-day when, as the shop
closed, scabs again attacked the
rickets.
Two dressmakers, Esther Carroll
and Bertha Cantor, we'll known
amongst dressmakers in the city,
for their militancy, were arrested
by the police. A large throng
gathered around and the pickets,
including the arrested girls con-
tirued to appeal TO the scabs to
quit scabbing on them, to join the
strikers, and the crowd applauded
the speakers, especially the arrested
girls, the scabs retreating under
police protection in shame.
Despite the arrests occurring fire.
quently the strikers of the Superior
Dress Co. are determined to win the
strike and better their conditions
thru demands of the National Tex
tile Workers Union.

get is $40: winders get S12. They
got a bonus of 81 in two weeks; the
boss recently cut it to 81; he also
cut the night shift from 81 to and
