Youth Conference.
One of the important conferences
to accompany the Southern Textile
Conference is that of the working
youth of the South. Enormous
amounts of child labor are used in
the southern textile mills. 81 Gerson,
speaking for the youth conference
as...e, stated yesterday that
there are at least a quarter of q
million young workers in the South.
"These young workers are most
exploited" he stated, "receive less
pay, and work equally long hours
the IL hour day being not uncom-
mon.
Naturalization, speed-up, longer
work day, the conveyor system, run
ming the machinery faster, all these
are used to extract the last bit of
profit from the children, at the ex-
pense of stunted bodies and disease
for them. Pellagra, tuberculosis,
and other illnesses are rife. The
mill bosses try also to enslave the
youthful mind with special mill
sports organizations and semi-mili-
taristic movements.
"The youth conference at Char
lotte will continue the organization
of Special Youth Sections in the
militant unions, and will devise new
methods of drawing in those who

REID Leaves FOR
CHARLOTTE Meet 7
OF The 7, u. u. |,
M.T.U. Head to Attend
T.U.U.L. Conference

jim Reid, president of TIE Ma
tional Textile Workers Union, who
left today for Charlotte, N. c., to
attend the conference of the Trade
Union Unity League Oct, IL and 13,
declared the presence of the Labor
Jury at the Gastonia trial in Char
lotte, N. c., expresses the solidarity
of the northern workers with the
struggles of the southern working
class" The seven members all in
danger of thirty-year terms are all
members of ute N. 7. w. U.
Reid agreed with the statement
which the Labor Jury sent out to-
day that "The mill bosses of the
South, their agents in the govern
ment which they control, and the
press which they control have been
most vicious in misrepresenting the
issue really involved, which is the
struggle of the mill workers for bet
ter living conditions, shorter hours,
higher pay, against child labor and
the speed-up. They have gone to the
greatest excesses in trying to pre-
judice the workers and public opin-
ion by claiming tina tthe issues are
those of religion, race and commun-
ism. This of course, is done to di-
vide the workers so as to keep them
in abject slavery"
Reid said the International Labor
Defense, which is defending the
workers in Gastonia, and which has
offered to aid the workers in Mar
ion, is one of the strongest factors
in behalf of the workers in their
fight for better conditions.
The international Labor Defense
drive for $4,000 members should be
exceeded by thousands" he said. ut
is one of the most valiant fighters
for the workers in the world today"

uTW TRIES NEW

ELIZABETHTON, Tenn, Oct. 10,
The latest attempt of the United
Textile Workers Union bureaucrats
to prevent a strike here in the rayon
mills, perhaps decided upon as re-
suits of their wiring both President
MaMahon at Toronto and the U. S.
department of labor for instructions,
is to apply for arbitration.

Everything they have done
proves the reverse. Now that
the defense witnesses are tear
ing apart the tissue of lies
woven by perjured states wit
neSses, the prosecution in des-
peration resorts to every pos
sibility to appeal to religious, politi-
cal and racial prejudices of the Il
conservatives who will pass upon the
guilt or innocence of seven militant
unionists.
Over and over again Jake Howell,
attorney for the prosecution, asks
witnesses if they are members of
the Communist Party, with sneer-
ing insinuations that the Commu-
nists advocate everything that is
detrimental or vicious.
Although the judge sustains OBJ
jections by the defense to these
questions and insinuations, neverthe-
less the prosecution persists, know
ing that even if ruled out, their ly-
ing distortion of Communist theory
and Misrepresentation of Commu-
nism will have an effect on the jury,
to whom Communism is synonomous
with "anti- Christ"
Judge Barnhill listened to Can
sler's arguments on the introduction
of the opinions of the defendants
and witnesses and took the law
books containing the decision home
to study. He will render a decision
later.
| The contrast between the defense
and the prosecution witnesses is
startling. The defense witnesses
are obviously telling the truth, the
whole truth, and nothing but the
truth" They are wowrkers, direct
and honest. Their testimony deals
with nothing but what they have
seen with their own eyes. The
states witnesses were obviously
mill hirelings, and disreputable
thugs, glibly saying whatever they
thought would be of help in sending
the unionists to the penitentiary.
The testimony of the states wit
nesses was easily broken down by
cross-examination from the defense,
while sneering verbal assault on the
defense witnesses by the prosecution
has not shaken them in the least.
