/ Never-and a "never" which is
categorical and not to be qualified
by Gilbertian hardly ever" Pre-
cisely because the burden of CAPT
talist naturalization weighs so
heavily upon the Southern workers
that they are forced actively into
the class struggle, and because of
the entire lack of trade union ex-
perience among hundreds of thou
sands of them, the utterly false
pretense of the A. F. of L. leader
ship can fool them for a time, las
in Elizabethton, Tenn with dis
astrous consequences, and makes the
exposure of these bellwethers of
imperialism a major task of the
Communists.
Music, Hoffman, Mcmahon and
Company, ably aided by preachers
and pacifists of the socialist party,
and liberals of varying shades, have
been able to a certain extent, be-
cause of the huge reservoir of work
ing class misery and militancy in
the Southern textile industry, to
appear as "honest trade unionists,"
acquire some influence and prestige
among sections of lowpaid workers,
and pose as champions of the work
ing class in districts where strikes
develop spontaneously.
The Southern textile capitalists
do not want ANY unions, reformist
or revolutionary. Like the new
Southern working class, the new
capitalism of the South is--or was
inexperienced in "labor troubles"
In Elizabethton, Tenn. and Ware
Shoals, S. C. it allowed its retinue
of middle class hangers-on to stage
unofficial" deportations and other
displays of violence of and against
A. F. of L. leaders, while at the
same time its state governors sent
generous numbers of troops to over
awe the workers.
The Southern capitalist class was
ignorant at first that the A. F. of L.
leadership came South bearing
flag of truce, ready to hoist the
ensign of surrender and prepared
at the first opportunity to dye their
white emblems black with the
classic color of betrayal. Today it
knows better.
In recent weeks, under the pres
sure of the struggle centering
around the battle in the Gastonia
area where the class struggle shows
clearly even through the heavy fog
of intensive lying about American
democracy" created by the capital
ist press, the clever young men of
the millowners' personnel service,
and editors, have been doing some
examining on the labor movement.
Especially are the results of this
academic course in the class strug-

gle, accompanied by field experience
in the numerous strikes, and armed
conflicts such as those at the Loray
headquarters of the National Tex
tile Workers Union on June 7, no.
ticeable in the columns of the Gas
tonia Gazette. Much Of its earlier
crudity has vanished.
The Gastonia Gazette, together
with many other organs of capital
ism in the two Carolinas, has be-
gun to learn the value of the SER
vices of the A. F. of L. bureaucracy
and social reformists of the type of
Music and Hoffman and others who
dominate the United Textile Work
ers union, to American capitalism,
and to estimate the possibilities of
utilizing them to stem the tide of
working class revolt sweeping
through the South.
The Gazette, however, bearing
the brand of Manville-Jenckes-the
biggest cotton mill company in Gas
ton county, "the combed yarn center
of the South" confined itself prin-
cipally to denouncing the National
Textile Workers Union and the
Communists. Its support of the
A. F. of L. and its offspring, the
UTW, is more implied than open.
But the Charlotte Observer, pub
lished in the city which shares with
Winston-Salem the honor of being
one of the two largest in North
Carolina, has made up its editorial
mind and speaks right out. In its
issue of July IS it says;
"The American Federation of
Labor is initiating a movement to
organize the industrial labor of
the South, aided in this under
taking as an agency in rescuing
Southern industrial labor from the
influence of the Communists,
whose operations in the South
have brought their class into dis
repute.
GAS matter of course, if South
ern labor is to be organized, it is
infinitely to be preferred that this
organization should be accomplished
by the acknowledgedly longtime
enemy Of Communism, which is the
American Federation of Labor, the
particular object of hatred by the
Communist organization"
Referring to the recent Connecti-
cut conference of governors and the
question of the organization of the
Southern workers which was raised
there, The Observer sums up the
attitude of Governor Gardner of
North Carolina and Governor Rich
ards of South Carolina as expressed
in a statement that they would
neither hinder nor help the Amer
lean Federation of Labor in its at

which the A. F. of L. leadership
is trying to turn into the poison
out channels of cooperative rela-
tons" with the $50,000,000 mer-
gers in the rayon section of the
textile Industry
These splendid meetings" with
"some members of the Chamber OF
Commerce." referred to by President
Green, deserve some special atten-
ton in the form of a further quota
ton from the minutes of the senate
committee on manufactures. Miss
Margaret Bowen, worker in the
Elizabethton mills, is testifying:
"These companies would have
paid more and they started out
paying more at the beginning,
but the chamber of commerce of
ElizabethtOn said, What is the
need; you can get cheap labor for
So and $40 per week, and so
therefore they decided if they
could get it they would not pay
any more than what they really
had to pay" Emphasis mine. }
The Chairman-How do you
know that?
Miss Bowen - Through their
own statements.
Senator Wheeler-Do you mean
the statements of the members of
the chamber of commerce
Miss Bowen-Yes, sir.
1t was with these statesmen of
"cheap and docile" labor that Pres
ident Green's trusted representa-
tive" made Satisfactory settle
ment."
President Mcmahon of the United
Textile Workers also contributed his
mite to the doctrine of Satisfactory
settlement" at the expense of the
textile workers. The following is
an excerpt from his concluding re-
marks to the senate committee:
81 wish to say that without
prejudice, it is our desire to see
industry successful in all parts of
the country. There is no thought
in our mind that Northern manu-
facturers should succeed at the
cost or sacrifice of both the South
ern manufacturers and Southern
operators. Our organization stands
for equality for ALL"
Equality for all-workers living
at the starvation level-millionaire
fertile mill owners.
Is it any wonder that the mill
barons and their press had little
difficulty in deciding that the pol
icies, tactics and leadership of the
A. F. of l.. and the UTW could be
very useful in putting down the
revolts of the underpaid workers?
But although the capitalists and

ny DILL ~ N4NE
The rising tide of the class strug-
gle in the South already has fur
nished two sharp contrasts between
the policy, tactics and leadership
Of the American Federation of La
Dor, and such militant organizations
as the National Textile Workers
Union affiliated to the Trade Union
Educational League - the American
section of the Red international of
Labor Unions.
So sharp and clear are these con-
trasts that every worker can see
and understand them: Gastonia and
Elizabethton, the Southern textile
conference of the United Textile
Workers held in Rye, n. Y, and the
southern textile conference of the
fighting National Textile Workers
Union held in Bessemer City, North
Caroline in the center of the
struggle in the textile industry of
the South, seven miles from Gas
tonia where Fred Beal and Louis
Mclaughlin, Vera Bush and two
more women workers, and ten men,
bers and organizers of the N. 7. w.
U. are on trial for murder and
conspiracy" - jailed by the mill
owners government for defending
themselves and their union head
quarters against an armed attack
by the mercenaries of the mill bar
ons.
1t is necessary to examine the
background of these sharp con-
trasts contrasts between a pro-
gram based on the class struggle
and program confined to accept
ance of capitalism as a system and
based primarily on the desire to
strengthen and perpetuate the rule
of the capitalist class and its gov
eminent. The difference is that be-
tween social reformism and social
revolution - social democrats and
Communists.
A few months ago the leadership
of the American Federation of La
Dor, and its loyal opposition head
ed by the Music group, was paying
no attention to the South. True
to its craft union heritage and loyal
to the interests of it's imperialist
masters, it made not the slightest
attempt to organize the masses of
low paid, unskilled and semi-skilled
workers who make up the over
whelming majority of the South
ern working class - especially in
the huge chemical industry, in the
combined chemical and textile in
dustry = the rayon mills and
in the cotton spinning section OF
the textile industry.

Crowds of Unemployed
Workers Storm Plant
Of Ford in Hamilton


HAMILTON, Ohio (By MaiD.-
Every morning a large crowd of
workers and ex-farmers and farm
boys from Kentucky tries to get
happiness" by having Henry Ford
become their master at the Hamil-
ton plant of the Ford Company.
The employment agent chooses
all the husky looking married men
for vacancies since they are strong
er and have got to be docile be-
cause they have to support a wife
and family.
Many really believe it is done be-
cause Ford is sorry for the mar
ried men.
Kentucky men are Ford's choice
because they are more docile, COM
ing from the farms, and unacquaint-
ed with the slavery in the Ford
plants, they are eager to work for
SIS day after the even more mis-
cradle wages they have been re-
ceiving in Kentucky.

better breeding and better feeding,
the average production per COW is
increasing. For every 1000 peo-
pie, there are now approximately
189 cows as against 203 cows in
1920. Better cows that are better
fed account for production of
about 5208 pounds of milk per
cow yearly as against 1864 pounds
in 1920. Production of dairy pro-
ducts has been profitable. The year
ahead is also promising. The mar
gin between feed cost and milk and
butterfat prices leaves a good pro-
fit, especially if the cows are well
bred, well fed on balanced rations
and well managed.

500 in Prizes Hung
Up in Barberry War

Cash prizes, amounting to 500,
are being offered for the three best
plans for teaching the subject of
"Common Barberry and Black
Stem Rust" in the grade schools of
Minnesota, according to an an
nouncement made by l.. W. Melan-
der, state leader of barberry eradi-
cation in Minnesota.
The prizes are being offered by
the St. Paul Pioneer Press-Dis-
patch which is cooperating with the
United States Department of Ag-
riculture and the Rust Prevention
association in carrying forward the
educational phases of barberry
eradication.
Fifty dollars will be given to the
author Of the best plan, and $35
and $15 to the writer's of the sec
ond and third best plans, respec-
lively. The winner in Minnesota
will submit his plan in competition
with the winning plans from IL
neighboring states for cash prize
of 500 offered by the Rust Pre-
vention association for the best
plan submitted within the barberry
eradication area.
The common barberry bush is
J the alternate host of the destruc-
tive black stem rust, and is re-
sponsible for spreading this di-
sease to wheat, oats, barley, and
rye. In order to reduce losses
from this source to a minimum, ii
is absolutely necessary to find and
eradicate all common barberry
bushes. The task of finding every
common barberry bush is difficult

Agricultural Notes
No Milk overproduction
l. C:rIS

In Sight
almost 100000 more average
dairy cows are needed each year to
feed the annual increase of 1,500,-
900 consumers in the United States,
according to a survey of the Blue
Valley Creamery Institute, based
upon the latest available figures.
The remarkable increase in the
demand for dairy products shows
that it requires a yearly average of
exactly 55.3 gallons of milk, 1852
pounds of butter, Ala pounds Of
cheese, and 2.85 gallons of ice
cream to supply every man, wo-
man and child of Americas popu-
lation of approximately 100000
600 people with the dairy products
they desire.
This per capita yearly consump-
ton of the products of the dairy
farm is considerably larger than it
was in 1920-larger by 10. 8 more
gallons of milk; 2.92 lbs. more but
ter; "a lbs. more cheese, and .39
Of a gallon more ice cream. These
figures apply to the average per-
SON only, but when they are null
tiplied 120, 100000 times-the pop
ulation of the nation-its enormity
is realized. 1t means the produc-
ton of billions upon billions more
pounds of milk on American
farms.
Producing 1878 more gallons of
fluid milk and nearly gallons of
milk from which to make 2.92 more
pounds Of butter for every man,
woman and child affects thousands
of farms and factories, creates
millions in new farm wealth and
makes it possible for farmers, on
crops fed to dairy cows, to get
from $3.50 to $500 worth of
dairy products in return for crops
which would otherwise return only
$1.O0.
United States consumers now
use approximately 81 billion
pounds more milk per year than
they consumed in 1920. This
amount of milk expressed in terms
of milk and butter, cans required
to hold 1T, farms involved in its
production, extra cows required,
number of trucks and wagons af-
fected by it's production and hand
ling, runs into staggering figures
and shows the greatness Of the in
dustry.
The production of dairy products
has been and promises to continue
to be good business. Fluid milk
of top quality and the production
of good marketable cream with
skimmilk as a by-product for calf,
hog and poultry feeding offers a
profitable, steady, safe, "quick-
pay" way to market farm crops
Conditions in dairying today are
decidedly favorable to the general
farmer with good cows and good
supply of homegrown grains and
legume hay such as alfalfa.
The country is not overloaded
with good dairy cows. It has toe

Girl Scout Notes
The History of the American
Girl Scouts

When Sir Robert Baden-Powell
founded the. Boy Scout movement
in England, it proved too at
tractive and too well adapted to
youth to make it possible to limit
its great opportunities to boys
alone. The girls organization
known in England as the Girl
Guides, developed and fiourished
with equal success.
Mrs. Juliette Low, an American
visitor in England, and a personal
friend of the Father of Scouting,
realized the tremendous future of
the movement for her own coun-
try, and with the active and
friendly cooperation of the Boden-
Cowells, she founded the Girl
Guides in America, enrolling the
first patrols in Savannah, Georgia,
in March 1912. They were re-
christened the Girl Scouts in very
few months.
In 1915 National Headquarters
were established in Washington, D.
c.. but the following year they
were moved to New York and the.
methods and standards of what
was to be nationwide organiza-
ton became established on a
broad, practical basis.
Each succeeding year has shown
a large and more enthusiastic body
of girls learning in the happiest
way how to combine patriotism,
outdoor activities, skill in every
branch of domestic science, and
high standards of community SER
vice.
Colleges are offering training in
Girl Scouting as a senior course
for prospective leaders, and prom
inent citizens in every part of the
country are identifying themselves
with local councils in a helpful,
advisory capacity.
The Girl Scout Laws
1. A Girl Scouts honor is to be

The Girl Scout Troop has 33
girls registered for the coming
year. This is as many girls as the
troop is allowed to hold though
there are many more on the wait
ing list.
Mrs. Clyde Thomas visited the
last meeting and taught the girls
how to play a number of games
that are played in foreign coun-
tries. As these games were new to
the girls they found them very in
teresting. Mrs. Thomas is also
coaching a little patriotic play for
February 20.
The girls are now busy making
