for women in the textile mills. He
advocates, not fight of the organ
lied mill workers for abolition of
night work for women, but another
law, which according to his own adj
mission elsewhere, would be ignored
by the mill barons as the present
laws limiting hours to sixty per
week and providing for seats for
women are violated at present with
IMMUNITY. Lets take advantage of
the unrest and get some good laws
passed." says Wilson. This is his
recommendation for the mill barons:
stop the unrest and the growth of
the militant National Textile Work
ers Union by passing some laws
which you can subsequently ciolate!
That Good Boss"
Buttressed between ads of insur-
ance companies and banks, there ap-
pears an article by the apostle of
Music progressivism in the United
Textile Workers company Union.
Hoffman points out the misery in
Marion due to starvation wages,
then praises a nearby mill owner,
Eugene Cross, president of the Cross
Mills, "a kindly Southern gentleman
with a sincere interest in his work
ers, with an attractive mill village,
a room in each house for bath,
a wage scale higher than in East
Marion or Clinchfield, village
which he is improving and is proud
Of" and holds up this as an exam
pie of an enlightened employer that
the other mill bsrons should follow,
so as to solve their labor problems.
Mr.. Cross, says his admirer Hoff-
man, .'has workers in his plant
drawing as high as $27 per week" "
Hoffman forgets to mention that
there are workers there drawing as
low as So and $40 per week. Hoff-
man is interested only in the more
skilled and better paid workers who
can afford the high dues and initia-
ton fees to support the bureaucracy
in luxury, and who will support re-
formist leadership.
Hoffman boasts of the fact that
his local officers are Church work
ers of widespread reputation"
Many of the workers cannot read
or write," apologies Hoffman.
"They went into the mill too early
to ge any book larnin,' but their
racial purity and mountain breeding
compensates for this little lack" In
other words, no damned foreigners
there; the innate superiority of the
"Nordic" race compensates for lack
of education.
Offers to Tame Them.
"a new conception of economic
justice and a higher standard of in
dustrial and business management
must be found to revive the textile
industry" is Hoffman's advice to
the bosses of this "sick" industry.
If they want higher profits and con-
tented slaves they must cooperate
with the United Textile Workers
Union which with its long expert
ence in suppressing workers strug-
giles can be of great value to the
mill barons. "Our succor comes from
the hills in the great battle for the
regeneration of the Southland and in
the fight to save the textile industry
from the disintegration and stagna-
ton which a slave owning planter
psychology has brought upon this
great staple industry" says Hoff-
man. "Fat Boy" Hoffman would
have US believe that everything is
fine in the Northern mills, where
the bosses are certainly not subject

legislature, function for the we'll
being of ALL" Better conditions for

place; what is most needed accord

ers to have more means and time
to participate in civic and state af-
fairs as well; they create and main
tain prosperity. In years gone by
the wage earners could not dress in
respectable clothes to attend public
gatherings" So Wilson appeals to
employers to pay higher wages so
that their prosperity will be main
tanned, and so that workers can take
part in civic affairs, can be patri-
otto citizens. Wilson also points out
that 1--WE have the highest death rate
in the country. Sanitation and
wholesome amusement must be pro-
vided for workers in the cities"
Surely this is a slogan to arouse
the workers to a militant struggle

Wilson also calls attention to the
fact that "Only China and India, in

chology."
No, Mr.. Hoffman, you are wrong.
Have you forgotten the revolt of
the New Bedford mill workers which
your company union betrayed? We
will not let you, nor the workers,
forget it.
Hoffman, Mill Guard.
The delegates of the International
Labor Defense and the Workers In
ternational Relief went to Marion at
a critical time, when the strikers
were threatened with wholesale
evictions and the attacks of the po-
lice, and the governor was threaten
ing to send in troops, to offer the
strikers food and legal defense;
Hoffman had his guards watching
all roads and came Immediately to
intercept the delegates and prevent
them from reaching the rank and
file He told Juliet Stuart Poyntz
(while the strikers could not hear)
the he is progressive and does not
agree with the bureaucrats, apollo
giving for the bitter attack he made
at the Convention. He pleaded with
the delegates of the N. T. w. not to
interfere" at Marion. He proposed
that the U. T. w. and N. 7. w.
should divide the Southern territory
between them. When Comrade
Poyntz told him that the N. T. w.
does not interfere" in strikes, but
on the contrary, always helps to
carry on a real struggle against the
bosses and their agents, forming a
united front against the bosses and
their agents, Hoffman said that they
did not need any help. He is afraid
of being further discredited.
Offer Help.
Hoffman also told Poyntz that he
was not responsible for the sell-out
at Elizabethton, blaming it on Will
liam Kelly. But when they ap-
preached the strikers, Hoffman
dropped his, apolegetic attitude and
became menacing again. Then the
delegates from the l. l.. D. and W.
I. R. told the strikers that although
Hoffman had said that they did not
need any legal help or food, that
the two organizations would always
be ready to extend their aid to the
Marion strikers, Poyntz congratu-
lated them on their militancy in re-
sisting evictions.
The Marion strikers, like all the
Southern mill workers in revolt, are
so militant that Hoffman cannot
suppress their fighting spirit. They
prevented the sheriff from evicting
eleven of their comrades. T h p
picketed the Clinchfield mill and
prevented it from reopening on
Aug. 10. They booed and hooted
both the sheriff and Hoffman when
they tried to discourage them. Ac-
cording to the account in the Char
lotte newspapers, when it became
apparent that the strike breakers
would be unable to enter the Clinch-
field mill, Hoffman came with Judge
Townsend, representative Of Cover
nor Garner. Townsend addressed the
strikers and told them that they
were violating the law. He appealed
to Hoffman to disband the picket
lines or at would be necessary to
call in the troops" Hoffman fol-
lowed the Judge. He appealed for
law observance, and told the strik-
ers they must make their decision
Immediately. The stripers shouted
back: "Brini on your troops"

SOUTHERN RAILWAY
PLEA IS REJECTED
Motion to Dismiss Antitrust
Complaints Relating to Out
side Holdings Rejected.

BY sne Aeeoetate0 PreSN.
The Interstate Commerce Commits
sion yesterday denied Q motion BY the
Southern Railway to dismiss the anti
trust complaint brought by it against
the railroad In connection with its con-
troll Of stock In the Mobile g. Ohio
Railroad.
The commission also denied a motion
by the Southern to drop the antitrust
complaint resulting from the southern's
acquisition of stock in the New Orleans
& Northeastern Railroad.
The ANTITRUST complaint was brought
by the commission as the result of
allegation by the City Of Mobile. Ala.
that the Southern had diverted trafic
from the Mobile & Ohio and since its
acquisition Of the New Orleans &
Northeastern had sought to develop the
port OF New Orleans to the prejudice
Of Mobile.
The Southern obtained a substantial
interest in the Mobile & Ohio in 1901
and since that time hnI acquired addi-
tlonal stock. The r.jiroad commended
that the Interstate Commerce Com
mission was without authority, since
the Clayton antitrust act was not
passed until 1914.
Stock in the New Orleans d. North
eastern was acquired in 1916. Both
transactions were claimed to have been
made without Interstate Commerce
Commission approval.

Mr.. Dunlop.
After a whispered conference between
Mr.. Dunlop and Mr. Hamilton, the for
mer objected to the question on the
ground that Mr.. Heberle, the company's
witness, was an accountant and not a
lawyer.
THE witness Is put on the stand as
the company's valuation. expert" said
Mr.. Hartman. "and he ought to be ia
miliar with the way he obtained these
figures"
Argument followed and at length
Chairman Patrick ruled that the ques-
ton was proper. Mr.. Heberle then
quoted Mr.. Dunlop'S statement that he
was not lawyer and therefore unable
to answer 1t.
1t was made plain that the company
does not want the present rate case to
involve new valuation. When Mr.
Hartman began asking the questions
from his book Mr.. Dunlop objected, de-
claring that the 1925 valuation figure
could not be brought into question be-
cause 1t was court decree. MIR. Dunlop
and Mr.. Hamilton sought to buttreSs
their case on every occasion on this
ground and force recognition of their
contention that the commission could
not go behind the courts valuation.
This commission" said Mr.. Hart
man, has a perfect legal right to as
certain how certain figures were ar
rived at and it cannot be limited as to
date"
Patrick Overrules Dunlop.
Chairman Patrick overruled Dunlop's
objections several times and exceptions
were noted.
