company unions. We must stand
firmly together, notwithstanding all
violence of the bosses. We call upon
the rank and file of the U. T. w.
to join hands with us against bosses
and bureaucrats.
Must Organize
The matter of improving our con-
ditions rests with US. To remain I'M
organized any longer is to sink fur
Their into conditions of semi-slavery.
We must unite. We must build a
great union of all textile workers,
regardless of sex, race, craft, age
and nationality. All these forces
must be set in motion at once for
the realization of our demands.
Every mill in the South must be
represented in the conference in
Charlotte. This conference, with ir-
resistible power, will then be able
to present and enforce to the textile
manufacturers of the South, the de-
mands of the textile workers.
Now is the time to move for i'm
proved conditions in the mills. This
can be accomplished only through
organization and decisive action.
Form local mill committees in every
mill in the South! Hold local con-
ferences in every Southern textile
center! Send delegates to the Char
lotte conference. Rally to the sup
port of our leaders on trial in Gas
tonia! We call upon all the South
ern local unions of the National
Textile Workers Union, the United
Textile Workers Union, as well as
to the great body of unorganized
textile workers, to send rank and file
delegates to the conference in Char
lotte, N. c., October IL and IS.
Write to us for organizers.
Textile workers of the South!
Do you want to put an end to
the stretch-out system?
Do you want to end forever the
ten, eleven and twelve hour day?
Do you want to end starvation
wages?
Do you want to end child labor?
I Do you want the eight hour day :?
Do you want to end night work,
especially for women and children?
Do you want to build a powerful
union that will unite your strength
to set up good working conditions
in the textile industry?

When the riot broke out of con-

White called in the guards of two
shifts eff duty. The reinforcoments
manned the walls with shotguns and
rifles. Machines guns were mount
ed in strategic positions. Their rat
tat-tat could be heard throughout
the city of Leavenworth.
Crowded conditions have long ex-
listed in the prison. Observers out
side the walls said there have been
many rumbles of discomfort among
the prisoners recently. The recent
rioting at Auburn and Dannemora
prisons, New York, was believed to
have helped to incite the outbreak.
Warden Silent.
Warden Thomas B. White declined
to discuss the riot. The firing and
the screams of the wounded, how
ever, could be heard far outside the
! walls.

well armed, both with firearms and
explosives. Several heavy blasts at

OSSINING, N. Y, Aug. 81
Smarting under the recent revela-

vile food in all the prisons of the
state, officials at Sing Sing, in an
effort to befog the issue, declared
today that they were taking all
precautions" to prevent an outbreak
similar to the one which occurred in
Auburn on Sunday.
Reports that an outbreak was pos
sible were made to Warden Lawes
by prisoners whose names he 1e-

that the men were bitter because of
the recent state prison policy in re-
fusing paroles to those who become

i Close to S3,8O0 will be the ex- ! pense to the city in maintaining
 the Douglas Public Schools for next term according to 8 budget state
 ment presented to the City Council
 last night by Robert Fraser, Treas Iurer of the School Board. Over $500 of this amount is occasioned
 by the decreased fund from the Territory which will be in effect as passed by the last Legislature. With limited revenues, and certain other necessary expenses of the city's administration, the Council will have to do some close figuring to make ends meet.
 The condition of the waiting room on the wharf and necessity for such place was brought to the attention of the Council by a letter from W. S. Pullen, Manager of the Juneau and Douglas Naviga- ton Company It was decided that better use of the present waiting room as warm room for freight storage in Sne winter time could be made and it is to be closed and converted into such. Later, another shelter in a different location may be put up for ferry passengers.
