crossed the line and became, for the

In this campaign both parties made

employers are now playing their last
card by calling on the American
Federation of Labor officials to
come into the situation to break
the strike in their attempt to crush
the growing movement. These
agents of capitalism in the labor
movement are playing their historic
role of betrayers. But the strikers
are holding firm and the strike
wave is spreading.
Many More Strikes.
Further, in Ware Shoals, Pelzer,
Central, Greenville, Buffalo, Union,
Woodruff and Anderson, and other
places in South Carolina and in
Elizabethton, Tennessee, sporadic
strikes are breaking out which have
already involved 10000 workers at
different times. This is only the
beginning. The whole region with
over 10000 textile workers, is
stirring into greater activity.
"The terrible conditions existing
in the south have been the source
Of bitter exploitation and robbery,
not only Of the southern workers,
but also menace the standards and
very lives of the workers through
out the United States. The strug-
gle of the southern workers for bet

"Above all, we understand that

The company also runs a sugges-

it pays no cash reward for sugges-

a promise that he will have steady
