Social Democrats Aid
In Betrayal of Austria
GlanzstOff Silk Strike

VIENNA (By MaiD.-A few days
ago a strike broke out in the CLAM
stoff factory in St. Poelton in order
to secure the dismissal of IS work
ers organized in the Christian trade
unions. At first the directors were
prepared to remove the Is yellows,
not to dismiss them as the workers
demanded, but at least to place them
in other positions. After the social
democratic trade union leaders and
the social democratic mayor of st.
Poelton had persuaded the workers
to go back to work, the directors
then withdrew their original offer
and put the Is workers back at their
old posts. The social democratic
leaders used their whole influence
in order to prevent the workers
again taking up the struggle. The
result Of the social democratic atti-
tude is that the "Freiheitsbund,"
which is the fascist organization of
the Christian trade unions, is, ac-
cording to a report of the "Reichs-
post" about to set up a "Glanzstoff
Company"

(By a Worker Correspondent

NORFOLK, Va, (By MaiD Il
want to again write you about con-
ditions in various plants and indus
tries in Virginia.
In Norfolk hundreds of workers
are employed in the burlap factories,
such as the Atlantic Jute Mills, Nor
folk Bag Co., etc. Most of the
workers in this industry are Negro
workers. They are paid from Is to
95 cents an hour. Very few are re-
ceiving more than 35 cents an hour.
Their hours of toll are from 1-2 to
10 a day and sometimes as high as
IA and Is.
Then in Berkeley (South Norfolk
there are thousands of workers en-
ployed in the oil refineries. They
are Shaving for such firms as the
Portsmouth Oil Refining, the Texas
Oil Co., American Oil, Standard Oil,
etc. A large number of Negro
workers are employed in this indus
try. They are paid from so to 45
cents an hour, the limit being so
cents, which only the stool pigeons
and the straw bosses receive. Work
ing hours for the oil workers are
from nine to twelve a day.
Another important industry in
Virginia is coal mining. Including
the figures of wagon mines which
are producing less than 100 tons,
the coal output of Virginia for the
year 1928 in SO coal mines totalled
11,900,923 tons, valued at $20,375,-
600. Wise county is producing the
greatest tonnage of coal, with s.
061,902 tons for the year 1928.
The coal miners in Virginia re-
ceive an average days pay of $3.50.
The conditions of the miners of
Virginia are deplorable, abandoned
as they were by the United Mine
Workers Of America takers such as
John L. Lewis, Boylan and their
cliques, they were left at the mercy
of the coal operators.
1t is the task of the revolutionary
National Miners Union to organize
these miners.-S. G.

FALL RIVER, (By MaiD.-On
Oct. s the bosses of the Bourne Tex
tile Mill attempted to introduce a
speed-up Of 125 per cent for the
weavers. Where before the weavera
ran sixteen to twenty looms, after
the new speed-up they would have
to run 20 to IA looms.
The weavers, in spite of the cor
rupted American Federation of Tex
tile Operatives leadership, refused
to come to work the next day, and
struck of their own accord.
The rest of the departments
realized that they would be speeded
up more as we'll as the weavers if
the latter lost, so they showed their
solidarity by striking side by side
with the weavers.
The workers realized that if they
were to win the strike they must
organize strong picket lines. I'M
mediately the bosses called on their
company unions (U. T. W. and A. F.

to go on the picket line, thereby
breaking the strikers spirit.

thus forcing the boss to close the
mill.
The NTW issued leaflets to the
workers explaining the betrayals of
the UTW and the ALTO in the past,
and called on the workers to organ
ize a strike committee of the rank
and file so the takers would not sell
them out.
Immediately the takers organized
their gangsters and threatened the

Despite the terror the NTW is
speeding the organization of these
workers and exposing the takers.

the same system of exploitation and
terror are uniting for defense of
their class interests. The mill own
ers and their political tools, the gov
ernors, judges, prosecutors, police,
and fascist hordes, tremble m fear
befores the increasing solidarity of
Negroes and poor whites in the
South. They ',now it heralds their
own impending downfall before the
inter-racial and class solidarity of
the masses.
The Gastonia case was one of
class against class. The fight must
and will continue, not only until
these workers are all set free, but
the workers must wage a direst
fight against the whole system of
capitalist exploitation and tyranny
until the time comes that, instead of
the workers appearing in capitalist
courts before the Barnhills and their
ilk, the situation will be reversed and
the mill owners, the Gardeners, the
carpenters and the whole array of
conspirators to murder and enslaye
the working class will appear before
working class tribunals to answer

lotte Oct. 1914 has already won a
victory in the Leaksville Wooden
Mills at Homestead, N. C. The mill
is near Charlotte. There is a strong
local of the N. T. w. U. there. A
fight looms over the questino of
raising the wages.
Officials of the National Textile
Workers Union here Immediately
stated that the Gostonia case verdict
is class decision, that the mill
workers of the South are as deter
mined to organize, as before and as
determined, snice the lesson of the
Marion Massacre where unarmed
strikers were shot down in heaps,
to defend themselves against the
next organized attempt of the bosses
at mass murder.
The tours Of the organizers sent
out by the Charlotte conventions will
go on, and already hundreds of mill
workers are organizing locals of the
union. None of the organizers or
members of the union are terrified
at the unfair verdict and savage
sentences.

for the prosecution in spite of the
fact hat theirs was a mass of con-
Trajectory evidence, and that their
direct connection with the Manville-
Jenckes concern was brought out in
almost every case. The fact that
Gilbert, Roach and other policemen
who testified for the state have long
records of homicidal drunkenness
and had, a few hour before the
events of the evening of June 7th,
assaulted citizens of Gastonia, and
and the fact that they were known
t ODE in conspiracy with the Loray
Mill fascist, COMMITTEE of 1O0,"
did not evoke from Judge Barnhill
any question of the impeachment of
their testimony.
1t was conclusively shown in the
testimony that the first shot on the
night of June 7 was fired by the
police; that the attack on the colony
was organized at the behest of the
Manville-Jenckes bosses ad that its
purpose was to massacre the men.
women and children who sought
shelter in the colony after being
evicted from company houses of the
Manville Jenckes corporation, to
smash the National Textile Workers
Union and to prevent the spread Of
the strike to other mills. We are
absolutely certain that if tire
strikers had not defended themselves
there would have been a massacre
unprecedented in the annals of labor
struggles in this country. The
strikers, their wives and children
would have been slaughtered as were
Ella May near Gastonia and the
five unarmed strikers at Marion,
North Carolina, during the course
CT the Charlotte trial.
We, the labor jury, affirm it to
be the duty of the working class to
organize and defend itself against
any and all attacks of the employers
and any of their hired killers, even
though they are acting under state
authority. The Gastonia cases and
the long struggle that with these
cases has entered a new militant
stage in the South show again to
the working class the real character
of the capitalist state as an instru-
ment of terror and oppression
against the working class.
One final word is necessary re-
garding the treatment accorded our
jury. From the first day of our
arrival we were subjected to all
sorts of thraets and veritable cam
paign of Indictment to lynching
launched by the mill owners press.
The composition of the jury itself
was a smashing blow against the
race prejudices that the employing
class of the South tries to foster in
order to keep Negro and white
workers DIVIDED into two camps,
thereby striving to prevent their
united class action against industrial
slavery. There were two Negroes
on the jury and as soon as we enter
ed the court room the court attend
ants tried to divide the jury by fore
ing the Negro members to sit in
the 'iim crow" gallery. But we re-
fused to be divided and so the whole
jury was "iim crowed." The en-
ployers of the South were enraged
at this because i. symbolized before
the whole working class of the South
the great struggle that is now rag
ing, wherein the same lynching and
mob violence that was for decades
used against Negro workers has now
been extended to white workers who
revolt against slavery. The Negro
and white workers, subject alike to
