FALL RIVER, Mass. (By Mai)-
Over 40 per cent of the textile work
ers in Fall River are young workers.
That these young workers are most
miserably exploited cannot any more
be doubted. They work 50-56 hours
weekly and are receiving very low
wages.
In the bleach department of the
American Printing Co., where | am
employed, the young workers are
forced to use rubber aprons and
rubber boots to work in the puddles
of bleach water. This job is very
dangerous and results in contagious
diseases among those employed IN
that department.
Especially do the young workers
suffer from these miserable sanitary
conditions. And all for a miserable
$12-$14 per week.
In the color shop of the same
plant, the workers, most of whom
are young workers, face the great
est danger. The chemicals that are
used to make the various colors are
very dangerous to the health.

Spanish Police Kill a
Striker; Deep Crisis
Forcing Big Struggles

MADRID, Nov. 13.-A striker
was dubbed to death by police yes
terday at the Sagunto Steel Mill,
where 5000 workers are striking
and refuse to return to work until
demands for higher wages are
granted.
The continuous fall in the value
of Spanish money is increasing the
cost of living to such degree that
strike movements are growing. Con-
cerning this, even the bourgeois
paper la Nacion" says ironically
of the fascist dictatorship of Primo
de Rivera, that "The regime has not
seen that liberty without good food
is not liberty"
Because of the growing crisis, De
Rivera has postponed" the assem-
bly,, which was "to discuss" new
constitution, till January. But
many think it will never take place.

ment:
"Workers; You are confronted
today with a most serious situation
in the Gastonia case. Five Gas

sufficient to free the five impris-
oned strikers.
Workers of America-you must

GREENVILLE, S. c., Nov. 13.-
The National Textile Workers
Union held a city conference Sun
day in Greenville to which delegates
from seven mills were present, rep
resenting $500 mill workers. The
conference was opened by Sophie
Melvin, Greenville organizer.
James Reid, national president of
the N. 7. w. u, reported on the
Charlotte Conference. A discussion
followed. Every worker who spoke
told of the miserable stretch-out sys-
TEN, the low wages and the need for
union.
In the Woodside Mill, one of the
Oldest and largest in the South, the
delegate reports that a year ago
they had four weavers to 104 looms;
now the bosses have cut it to two
weavers, but the wages remained the
same, $10.50 on the average.
In the Poinsette Mill, the workers
struck last March against the
stretch-out; the U. T. w. came in
and took over leadership, but only
to betray and sell out. They would
send in strikers to clean the ma
chinery, strikers to guard against
destruction of mill property, but
nothing was done to organize mill
tant fight against the bosses.
"That's why the U. T. w. has no
local in Poinsette any more" dele
gate said. The workers there are
joining the N. T. w. u, reported
the Poinsett delegate.
In Greenville, the N. T. w. u. now
has a permanent headquarters and
will continue organization. This
coming Sunday a mass meeting will
be held to report on the conference.
A committee of the Leaksville
strikers were present. Two of them
spoke explaining the situation. The
conference decided to do its utmost
in support of the strikers.
Amy Schechter reported on the
International Labor Defense. Two
delegates were elected to the Cen
eral Southern Conference of the l.
L. d. on December Sth. With this

Accorsi Trial Off Till Dec. 9.

| AccOrsi Trial OFF I'LL Dec. y.
PITTSBURGH, Nov. 13.-The
trial of Salvatore Accorsi, the work
er whom the bosses courts are try
ing to frame on murder charges
growing out of the Cheswick, Pa,
Sacco-V -Vanzetti demonstration on
August %, 1927, has been postponed
until December 9. The state had an
nounced few days ago that the
trial would begin in Pittsburgh next
Monday morning.
State Uses Trick.
In order to fascilitate the railroad
ing of Accorsi to the electric chair,
the state prosecuting attorneys
failed to notify Jacob Margolis, at
torney for the International Labor
Defense, defending Accorsi, about
the postponement until less than
week before the case had been
scheduled to start. The law states
that the defense must be notified
three weeks before a postponement.
Grew Out of SaccO Demonstration.
The frame-up attempt against
Accorsi dates from a demonstration
of coal miners of Cheswick, on Aug.
%, 1927, against the murder of Sac
co and Vanzetti. Great brutality was
displayed by coal and iron police in
breaking up the demonstration and
policeman who was about to strike
worker with his club was shot,
dying from the wound.
Many witnesses state that Accorsi
was not present at the demonstra-
tion. Yet Accorsi was later extradit-
ed from Staten Island, New York,
where he has moved his family and
the hue and cry c. the capitalist
courts and press to legally murder
him was on.

The state police, at the suggestion
of Dttsburgh papers, raised slo-
gan "the police will get their man."
When Accorsi was extradited from
Staten Island, the capitalist press
here lated, "thc state police have
got their man."

yer in the postponement and failure
