York Ueft wing), affiliated with

Abolition of open-shop slavery; a
minimum wage scale; the 8-hour

"Miss a Meal and Buy

Writes Mass. Worker

''Paris on the Barbados" writ
ten by worker, George Spiro, and
published by the Workers Library
Publishers, has drawn many letters
of appreciation from workers. The
following letter has been received
by the Daily Worker from John
Urgalinac, of Palmer, Mass:

ciate it so much that words cannot
express it.
Il have read of the Egyptians per-
scouting the Jews, the Sultan of

peror, Shi, who burned Chinese lit
erature, and chopped off the heads
of those who would not surrender
their books. l also read of other
uprisings and revolutions and of
strikers where workers were killed,
and their leaders framed and killed
also. l also read of how people in
Siberia were prosecuted by the car

right strike-breaking policy. They
led the hue and cry of "Commun-
ism!" They joined the bosses and
their government, press, preachers,
chambers of commerce, American
Legion, and -Klux-Klan in at
tempting to divide the strikers
ranks by playing up native against
non-native workers and white
against Negro workers, by raising
the issue of religion, by preventing
strike relief, and by helping to Jail
the strikers.
The National Textile Workers
Union, however, is steadily gaining
the confidence of the textile work
ers, who come more and more to ac-
cept its leadership. These workers
realize that, especially in the South,
the National Textile Workers Union
has been prominent in the field,
opening up and developing situa-
lions never before touched by any
labor organization.
