Townsend, March 19.- Muskrat
trappers of Townsend and vicinity,
especially those living over near the
bay, report an average season. The
season for muskrat trapping closed
on March 10 on the tidewater mashes,
but inland trapping is allowed until
March 20. For four weeks in Janu-

could not be reached. Since the thaw,
however, heavy catches made up

she pointed out. "The plant is run

was being built, the building trades
workers pulled several strikes and
Secretary Vanderhooven's hatred of
unions probably grew more intense
when he was forced to give in to
their demands and pay out a little
more of the corporations money in
wages.
Southern organizers of the Ma

amused when reporters asked them
whether the Enka plant officials

replied, Were aiming to organize

3.-The right to organize and arm
for self defense.
4.-The right to organize, strike
and picket.
5.-The right of free speech and
free assemblage.
"At Gastonia, Marion and else
where, these elementary rights have
been challenged and attempts made
to destroy them. Only the united
front of the workers of all races in
all industries can prevent the bosses
from destroying these rights and
driving the workers still lower into
poverty.
"This fight can only be success
full if it is carried on, not only
against the bosses and their govern
ment, but against the agents of the
bosses in the ranks of the labor
movement-the leadership of the A.
F. L., represented in the South by
the U.T.W. misleaders: Mcmahon,
Hoffman, German, etc.
"We appeal to those under the
influence of the U. 7. W. to join
hands with US in the struggle for
this program of action. We pledge
ourselves to the defense and the
support of the Marion strikers. We
call upon all textile workers to
form mill committees to resist the
terrorism of the bosses, protect our
members and our union, to form de-
Tense units in every mill. We urge
publication of mill papers in all de-
cisive centers of the textile industry.
There should be held in all such
centers sub-district conferences
whose main task shall be the organ
ization of strike struggle for our
demands and combating Of the
campaign of suppression by the
bosses and the government, prep
aration throughout the industry for
strike to enforce these demands. We
shall, as rapidly as possible, join
with workers in other industries for
wide mass movement of struggle.
The drive of the bosses and their
government agencies against our
nation is part of general drive of
Wall Street government to weaken
the organized force of workers and
paralyze their resistance to wage
cuts, and make their working condi-
tions worse and smash all militant
unions as part of the preparation
for new war of world conquest by
Wall Street and it's government"

fer such intolerable poverty that
pellagra is rampant.
"The mill owners attempt to dis
tract attention from these conditions
by lying campaigns about American
ism, propagandizing for Anglo
Saxon superiority, constantly harp
ing on 'inferiority of the Negroes,
attempting to draw line between
the northern and the southern work
ers. The average wage of the
southern mill worker is 1921 for
55 or 60 hours of work, but through
the streteh-out system the bosses
are trying to speed up and get even
more out of the workers, cutting
the payrolls but increasing the pro-
duction.
"While trying to sharpen racial
and religious and sectional preju-
dices, the southern mill barons are
uniting with the northern capitalists
under the auspices of Wall Street
and its government, represented by
Hoover against the workers in
southern industries.
"The National Textile Workers
Union has faced the most bitter per-
secution, legal and extra legal, ever
inflicted upon any union in the his
tory of the American labor move
ment. The bosses have tried to
destroy even the elementary rights
of free speech, freedom of assem-
blage, and the right to organize.
Only tremendous mass pressure of
the workers throughout the world
has prevented the railroading of the
leaders of the N.T,W.U. to the cleo
trio chair, following their cour-
ageous defense of their union head
quarters against a raid by armed
mercenaries of the bosses.
"The defense of the seven still on
trial is our first task.
"The first step towards freedom
from absolute domination of the
bosses over the mill villages is the
formation of a powerful union. The
N. T. w. U. is committed to the task
of 100 per cent organization of the
textile industry. It's program is:
End the stretch-out system.
2-The eight-hour day with six

4--End child labor evil.
Equal pay for equal work.
6-Recognition of N. 7. W. U.
Twenty dollars week mini
mum wage with substantial increases
for all categories of mill workers.
The struggle for these demands
has taken on political character. The
full forces of city, county and state
government has been modified be-
hind the bosses in their offensive
against the workers organizations.
In addition, therefore, to the econ
omic demands, there arises these ele-
mentary political demands:

bands and the bosses.

cominhg betrayal, the T. U. U. L.
said in a statement issued yesterday,
in which it again urged the strikers
to form rank and file yard commit
tees, take the struggle out of the
hands Of the A. F. L. officials, call
a general trucking strike and join
with the rail, waterfront and filling
station men in order to effect
complete tie-up of oil and gasoline
deliveries.
According to the T. U. U. L., VIM.
Jacobs, who was acting business
agent of Local 553 at the beginning
of the strike week ago, when Daw-
son did disappearing act, has set
up headquarters of his own and is
dickering with the Standard Oil
barons for a sell-out. He has an
nounced that the company is willing
to treat with the strikers, granting
any pay increases and a guarantee
of no discrimination, but that it re-
fuses to recognize the right to or
ganization, which in the opinion of
Jacobs is small matter. He is Of
fering to arrange a peace parley."
Dawson, who took the reins away
from Jacobs few days ago, and
Lyons, secretary of the brotherhood
council, claims that Jacobs is no
longer connected with the Teamster
Union, that he "has no authority to
carry on negotiations for u.s." thus
preparing an abb for the betrayal.
Block Intervention.

ties to openly intervene" in the
struggle, on the excuse that fire
houses and hospitals are not being

blocked when the union announced
Saturday: eve will see that there

The sentiment of drivers in all

now powered by gasoline that has
