HOUSE TO OPEN
Rain Hinders Cooking;
More Relief Needed.

GASTONIA, N. c., May 16.-The
striking textile workers of the Loray
mill are working in the rain build
ing the new union center which will
house the National Textile Workers
Union and the Workers Interna-
tional Relief. Scores of men and
women strikers are bringing their
own hammers and are participating
in the construction. They are en-
thusiastic over the work and plan
to have the building completed by
Saturday when it will be officially
opened. The dedication will be cele-
brated with speeches, refreshments
and dancing.
Mrs. Lynch, an active striker, has
tackled a note outside of her COM
pany shack, which reads: eff Nam
vile Jenckes comes to put my furni-
ture things out, don't they dare take
them to storage, just set them as
was done to Others" This is typi
cal example of the attitude of the
workers, who refuse the mill mems
offer to store the furniture, which
is a plot to break the strike.
Rain Stops Fires.
A large shipment of cabbages,
turnips and greens was brought from
the country yesterday by the W. l..
R. for today's distribution to the
strikers.
Heavy showers are falling day
and night and put out the fires of
the evicted workers, and greatly add
to their discomfort.
Groups of strikers were at the
mill gate today persuading the scabs
to go on strike. 1t is hoped that
some of the strikebreakers will heed
the call of the National Textile
Workers Union and join in the
struggle for more wages, less hours
and the abolition of the speed-up
system.

Comrades and Fellow workers:
I am writing this letter to con-
gratulate you for the spirit you have
shown, fighting the bosses, since the
strike began. 1t is a fact, fellow
workers, that any cell is about not
much worse than the room | used
to pay $500 a week for. By the way,
do you know why the bosses are so
busy with the police and courts,
with their judges? Simply because
the picket line is in front of their

going to make them sign with the
union? The picket line! l wish |
was on the picket line now, laughing
at the boss getting blue in the face.

pRIOR to the World War, Negro
women were employed but little
as factory workers. Their largest
field of occupation was that of do
mestic and personal service and
home and laundry work.
In the agricultural districts of the
South, they were largely engaged in
cotton picking and many assisted
their husbands in independent farm
ing, share cropping and tenant
farming. But as factory workers
they were almost entirely limited to
the tobacco industry, with the e&-

assertion made by Frank Hersko-

all workers who "are discovered

The statement of the Joint Board
follows:
"The statement of Mr.. Hirshkow-

the contents of the letter circular
lied by the Associated among its

of the statement issued by the A.

the same matter, show clearly that
the rising revolt of the fur workers
against the miserable conditions, the
sweat-shop, unemployment, and the
speed-up system, and their increas-

has aroused the fears of the manu-

Hogan, armed, and with a squad
of armed Lewis -Fishwick thugs close

street here, seized him by the throat
and tried to force him into a quarrel.
Simmich is a real fighter and built
like a giant, but he knew that if he

would kill him, and the whole U. M.
