The National Tetile Workers Union
yesterday issued the following state
ment, over the signature of Dewey
Martin, for the District Executive
Comittee here. 1t points out the re-
lation between the present Gastonia
ase trial, and the need of organiza
ton on the part of the southern
textile workers. 1t says:
"Senator Simmons of North Caro-
lima, in shielding the textile barons
in the proposed senate investigation
on the textile situation in the South,
claims tina THE workers are not re-
ceiwing low wages and in general
everything is satisfactory. Senator
Simmons for years has been the
political boss in the state controlling
the democratic primaries, and in
these same years has always consist
emily voted with the Republicans in
their measures to help the power
trust, the lumber trust and the capt.
talist interests against the workers
and poor farmers, both black and
white
Real Conditions.
"Clyde Hoey, Manville-Jenckes at
torney prosecuting the leaders OF
the National Textile Workers Union,
is Senator Simmons representative
in this section. Clyde Hoey, Senator
Simmons, Mr.. Jenckes, Mr.. Cramer,
democrats and republicans are united
against the textile workers in their
struggle for higher wages, long
hours and against the stretch-out.
"a few facts of the textile indus
try-figures taken from the bosses
own information bureaus-will prove
that Senator Simmons is again faith
fully representing the interests Of
the bosses against the workers:
"For 1853 cotton mills in the coun-
try, the average per hour earnings
of all workers were 32.4c. Compar-
able figures for the eastern states
inlude Connecticut, 39.1c; Maine,
32.7c; Massachusetts, 39.2c; New
Hampshire, 41.9c; New York, 40.4c;
and Rhode Island, 41c. The rates
for the southern group of states
were: Alabama, 24.4c; Georgia, 26c;
North Carolina, 295c; South Caro-
lima, 26c, and Virginia, 31.6c.
"The above table shows that there
is a difference of 1879 per hour
between average wages in the South
and North. This is of the greatest
significance as indicating the ex-
tremely low standard of living.

mill workers in the four leading
New England states are $3.50 per
cent higher than in four leading

"These figures and any other fig
ures that will be taken from the
Labor Department will prove that
the Southern textile workers work
the longest hours for the smallest
pay.
More Product, Less Wage.
"At the 21st annual convention of
the Southern Textile Association,
he bosses associations, held at Ashe-
vile July 55th, the Secretary in
formed the convention that the tex
tile workers in the mills Of the South
are no wproducing 100 to 200 per
cent more than hey did several
years ago. This tremendous increase
in production has been accompanied
by wage reductions and a general
worsening of the mill workers con-
ditions throughout the Carolinas
and the entire South.
"Senator Simmons and Governor
Gardner may be political enemies,
but when it comes to protecting the
interests of the textile bosses and the
other bosses, there is united front
against the workers and poor far
mers and especially against the most
exploited, the Negro workers.

the strikers to Ego into the mill and
drag them out by force" and "shoot
and shoot to KILL" as prosecution
witnesses have quoted him.
All the defense witnesses agree
that Beal told the strikers in the
speech to form a picket line and go
to the mill, an dthe night shift
would join them on strike. Nothing
was said by Beal about dragging the
workers out of the mills, or about
shooting the officers.
Tells of Gilbert's Threats.
Irene Corley told about hearing
Gilbert say, after the officers had
broken up the picket line, Let's go
down and kill the sons-of- bitches."
She also heard Gilbert say to the
strikers guard who demanded a
warrant, 1--WE don't need no god
damn warrant" She said she smelled
whiskey on Gilbert and Roach when
they were driving back the picket
line from the Loray mill, "cursing
and raisin cain with the strikers"
Mrs. Corley said: II heard Gill
bert tell Katie, III knock your damn
brains out"
Under cross examination Mrs.
Corley said she and her whole fam
lily had been blacklisted and cannot
get jobs eithe rim Gastonia or else
where in North Carolina. She has
been given food and shelter ever
since the strike by the Workers In
ternational Relief, she stated. For
the past three weeks she has been
supported by the International La
Dor Defense.
The prosecution has asked every
defense witness, "Who is paying
your expenses ?" They are attempt
in gto draw an inference from this
that the National Textile Workers
Union, the w. I. r. and the Com
munist Party are all identical, and
that since the l. l. D. is conducting
the defense and supporting the wit
nesses, therefore they are all biased,
bought and paid for, as the states
witnesses were obviously bought by
the Manville-Jenckes Co.
Tells of Stool-igeon Attacks.
1t was on this point that sharp
lash came between the defense and
the prosecution on the question OF
permitting the prosecution to appeal
to the prejudices of the jury by adj
verse differences to atheism, over
throwing the government, ect.
Katie Corley corroborated her
mothers testimony and told in more
detail labout the stool-pigeons' at
tempt to break up the meeting at
with Beal spoke of throwing eggs,
rocks and bottles at him and Buch.
Katie saw the police knock Earl
Thompkinson down on the picket
line and then "stamp on him." She
was so angered at this that she
threw rock at the police, who then
theatenred to "knok your god damn
brains out"
Then, she said, the police beat old
Mrs. McGinnis, she said Roach and
Gilbert were drunk. Katie also
quoted Gilbert as saying, Lets &c
down and kill every god domn one
! of those sons Of bitches"
Saw Roach Fire.
Katie heard Gilbert tell the guard
: at the tent colony, who demanded
a warrant, eve don't need no GOO
damn warrant" Then, she said
Roach fired the first shot at the
strikers guard. Then she ran fol
safety, while the shooting from both
strikers and police followed.
In answer to the question, "Why

ILLINOIS JUDGE
 TAXES IN PLENTY
GUEST IN HOME WHERE LIQUOR IS SERVED IS GUILTY AS IS
 POSSESSOR OR SELLER

PEORIA, Ill, Nov, 23, (P)-All persons who buy liquor, or who are acquainted with one who possesses liquor for beverage purposes are felons, in the eyes of the law, un- less they report their knowledge to the United Statees government.
 A judge in the federal court here, so ruled in upholding the consti- tutionality of the Jones law. The decision, which was delivered in case which did not involve the pur- chase of liquor, pointed out that in 1790 congress passed an act that a person who does not report fel- ony becomes a felOn. Since the Jones law makes a felony of selling transporting or possession of liq- uor, one not reporting such acts be- comes a criminal
 The judge ruled that under the two laws mentioned, the buyer of liquor, or the guest in a home where liquor is served is equally guilty with the seller or poSSeSsor, and subject to the same punish ment.
