The only branch of the textile in
dustry working on a reasonable
amount of production is the hosiery
manufacturing industry. But even
in this industry while there is pro-
duction going on conditions are bad
and are getting worse.
The existing unions permitted a
wage cut by the so-called union
lied" shops. The takers of these
unions signed up with the bosses
ratonalizing the workers 27 per cent
in all these shops.
This encouraged the open-shop
hosiery bosses to further cuts, and
wages in open shops are now re-
duced so per cent as compared to a
few months back. Furthermore
open shops have plenty of work, the
workers in the union" shops not
only having had their wages cut
but are also working on part time.
No real resistance was made by the
American Federation of Full Fash
toned Hosiery Workers.
The strikes that occurred and are
occurring are all spontaneous ones.

Union is the organization which by
its constantly fighting policy will
