GASTONlA MILL.
STRIKERS | COX
TO WORKERS AID
Spike Press Lie That
North Would Fail
(By q Worker Correspondent

(By a Worker Correspondent
GASTONIA, N. c., (By MALL -
In Gastonia, N. Carolina, the mill
barons of the Manville-Jenckes for
many years have been exploiting
the Southern textile workers for low
wages and long hours. In the Loray
mill the doffers in the spinning room
are getting the lowest wages known
in the textile industry. The oilers
in the spinning room are getting
the average pay of $13 to SIS a
week. The workers in Gastonia are
working from IS to 72 hours a
week. The girls in the Southern
mills are getting the average pay
of 81 to SO a week.
In the Loray mill 40 per cent of
the workers are young workers.
These young workers who have been
shaving for Manville-Jenckes for
years have revolted against cheap
wages and long hours. For many
years the mill owners of the North
have been moving the mills to the
South to get cheap labor. But now
they have met the stone wall of the
National Textile Workers Union of
America in the South, which they
are fighting for better living wage
and better living conditions.
Under the leadership of the N.
T. w. U. the workers in the Loray
mill are putting up wonderful
struggle against the bosses and
their thugs. The workers now are
being eyicted from their homes
which is a move of the bosses to
break the strike and to make room
for the scab labor.
The Southern textile strikers are
receiving wonderful support from
the Northern textile workers tho
the capitalist newspapers have al
ways stated that the Northern work.
ers would not help them. We South
ern strikers have found it different;
we know that the Northern textile
workers are with US.

COALDALE, Pa, June 11.-All

by o. Worker Correspondent
GRAND RAPIDS, Mich, (By
MaiD 1.-The bankers in charge of
the Grand Rapids Auto Body Cor
poration was somewhat surprised at
the workers in the plant for not ac-
cepting the SO per cent wage cut.
This company is in the hands of a
receiver at the present time, that is,
in the hands of the bankers, who
decided as soon as they took charge
of the plant, to force thru a general
80 per cent wage cut.
Reject Cut.
The moulders, body finishers,
loose-panel finishers and other
workers in the plant decided to re-
iect the wage cut and organized a
walk out in order to fight against
the bosses.
These workers called upon the
local T. U. E. L. secretary, John
North, for assistance and coopera-
ton in their struggle. The Auto
Workers Union in Detroit, Local
1877, was called upon by the local
T. U. E. L. secretary in Grand
Rapids, to come into the situation
and help to organize these workers
into an Auto Workers Local. John
Schmies, National T. U. E. L. Auto
Organizer, and William Frankfeld,
also member of the Auto Workers
Union, Local 1877, together with John
North, Grand Rapids T. U. E. l..
secretary, took charge of the strike,
organized a strike committee and
got ready for business against the
open shop.
After the strike committee was
elected representing the different
departments in the plant, the bank
ers decided to have a conference,
called in the committee and were
forced to state that the 33 per cent
wage cut will not go into effect.
The demand on the part of the
workers for a dollar an hour was
definitely decided upon.
Must Organize.
The organizers IN charge of the
strike made it plain to the auto
workers that the only assurance they
have of stopping the wage cuts in
the future is by having themselves
organized and to go back into the
shop as an organized body. 1t was
then decided by unanimous vote
among the workers that everybody
sign up and that we make definite
organizational arrangements fol-
building an Auto Workers Local.
In this connection leaflets were
distributed among the workers in
the Hayes Ionia Body Company in
which we called upon these workers
to become part of this struggle and
to line up with this new local of the
Auto Workers Union. Further plans
have been worked out for a cam
paign to organize the unorganized
workers in the auto shops in the
city of Grand Rapids.

POWER, BUILDING
Service Slaves
GETLOW WAGES
Service Workers Hours
Are Long
(By q Norke" Correspondent

/
The power plant and building SER
vice workers must organize in one
union. Conditions are bad, hours
are long, wages low and unemploy-
n1ent great. The Amalgamated
Power Plant and Building Service
Workers Union is an organization
that organizes all stationary engi-
neers and firemen, building super
intendents, maintenance mechanics
and handymen, elevator operators
and starters, porters and all others
that are employed in the production
and the maintenance of light, heat,
power and service, in lott and of
flee buildings, hotels, apartment
houses, hospitals, laundries and
power plants, for the purpose of
getting higher wages, better condi-
tons, shorter hours and finally con-
troll of the jobs on which they are
employed.
Only as Janitors.
In our industry elevator opera
tors and porters receive from SIS
to S23 without any meals. In a
number of hotels and institutions
engineers, firemen and handymen
are working II hours and 7 days a
week with wages lower than that of
a hcdcarrier.
Great apartment houses are built
all over the city, but not for the
workers to live in. The only time
worker lives in an apartment
house is when he is employed as a
superintendent or fireman and then
they give him a hole or a couple Of
holes in the basement in order to
have him on hand any time during
the 24-hour day. In the walk-up
apartment houses the wives of the
janitors have to help their husbands
to pull the garbage and wash the
stairways and the sidewalks; the
| bosses collect high rents, but their
ianitors are exploited day and
night and there is no limit to their
working hours.
The turnover in the houses is
very great, indeed. Most Of the
men are hired through employment
agencies. They are mostly unem-
ployed from all trades and they
seem to work for anything that is
offered them. In the loft and Of
flee buildings there are thousands
of Negro firemen and elevator OPP
orators and porters who work for
wages far below the average and
they must be organized and better
wages gotten for them.

"The Constant Nvmbh" Quite
a Pretty Film, But Not New

"The Constant Nymph," at the
Little Carnegie Playhouse, brings
to America the film study of Mar
garet Kennedy's novel of the same
name, and is a picture which is said
to have had much success in Europe.
1t is a British product.
The plot is that of the conven-
tionally unconventional a i S t,
bounded by a wife who wants to
make social lion of him, and grad
ually falling for a girl, heralded as
also unconventional, who seems to
have angina pectoris.
Mabel Poulton does Tessa San
ger, the mountain girl, child of a
composer who works and drinks him
self to death. She rebels against
school, and faints when she hears
that Lewis Dodd (Ivor Noveila), the
other artist, has married a rich
mans daughter.
The best scenes in the play are
those which show Tyrolese scenery
and those indicating the regrets the
unequally married Lewis has over
his undesirable matrimony. He
takes it out by composing original
music to ballads about "poor pigs
in a silver sty," by playing Chopin's
funeral march when the wife calls
the company in to. dinner, etc.
Eventually he runs off with
Tessa, only to have her die of heart
failure.
The plot is not exactly new.
There is nothing in particular to
object to, except the SANDER on ar
fists, who, in real life, probably, are
as likely to be as homogeneous and
fond of nine o'clock bed times as
the average professional worker.
The acting is good, the photog-
raphy is good, the thing seems
mildly interesting while it lasts.

FRAMEUP MOVE
Hasten Compliance of
Hoover Message

WASHINGTON, June 11.-Presi-
dent Hoover's orders to Congress
that it must appoint committee to
cooperate with his claw enforce
ment" commission, now meeting and
devising propaganda and recommen-
dations for better frame-up methods
to use against labor, was forwarded
today by action of the Senate Judi
ciary Committee.
The committee moved to report
Hoover's recommendation in his mes
sage last week that legislation be
passed to consolidate and centralize
the repressive organs of the govern
ment, placing police and secret SER
vice systems under single auto
cratic head.
To Vote on Farm Bill.
The committee also authorized the
Jones ("Five and Ten Law Jones')
motion to authorize appointment OF
joint congressional commission tc
study the Hoover proposals.
The senate fixed tomorrow as the
date for a vote on the debentureless
version of the farm bill. Senator
Borah pretended that this debenture
plan would assist the farmers, al.
though every economist knows that
it will help only the middlemen ano
grain exporters, and truthfully
enough assailed the bill without de.
bentures as fraud upon the
farmer.

Borah declared that Hoover was
not keeping his promise made in his
acceptance speech, parts of which
Borah read, with emphasis on the
election talks about making the
farmer secure, and placing him "or
a level with industry"
The house today rejected the first
conference agreement on the census
bill, because it provided for starting
the census at what the house con
fsidered was the wrong time Of Tho

decided not to fix date for voting
on the tariff bill, and will have
enough votes to prevent the pro
posed vacations unless concession:

Walton Leaguers
Plan Big Meeting

Chicago, March 22.-Preparation
for the forthcoming seventh annual
national convention of the Izaak Wal
ton League of America, to be held at
Chicago April Is, 10 and 20, are going
forward apace. The headquarters for
the convention will be at the Stevens
hotel, where 1000 rooms have been
reserved for delegates, without regard
to reservations made at other hotels.
Every indication points to this con-
vention being the most enthusiastic
every held by the league. for various
reasons: First. because of the eleva-
ton Of the honorary president of the
league, Herbert g. Hoover, to the
presidency Of the United States. Sec
ond, toythe fact that several new gov
errors Of states who are thorough
Waltonians have assumed their Of
fices and already are putting out con-
servation plans that are either spon-
sored or recommended by the league.
Third, because the growth Of the con-
servation spirit throughout the ma
ton has inspired intense activity
among the chapters Of the league in
producing membership drives to
which the public is responding in
droveS.
Because of these conditions it is
anticipated that q greater army of
delegates than erer before will attend
the convention. This number will be
swelled by members of chapters from
every part of the United States who
wish to learn at first hand the con-
servation projects that will be taken
up by the national organization.
