A Mill Boss Verdict.
Hendryx knows very well who
the real prosecutors are: not the
law but the mill owners and their
state. The very men who came to
arrest him the morning of June s
were: General Night Superintend-
ent of the Loray Mill, jolly; D. c.
Goner, overseer in the spinning
room; Overseer Rheinhardt, of the
carding room; Chief Engineer Kelly
of the Loray mill village, and such
persons.
While Hendryx was dressing, and
thinking he was unobserved, Jolly,
sitting on Hendryx's bed, pulled out
bottle and took drink. Then
he secreted the bottle, and said
"God damn you, believe you've got
liquor in here" Hendryx said,

it in," and the boss made swipe
at him with his rifle barrel" Hen
dryx thought it was a liquor frame
up he was in. He found out it
was murder charge they had in
mind.
Prisoners Need Bail.
After the verdict, the prisoners
were worse treated, Hendryx point
ed out. They are no longer allowed
to get the Daily Worker, and other
newspapers are not brought in to
them as before. Their hunks have
only fhin mattresses over the steel,
and no covers. 1t is cold. Food
consists Of grits, corn bread and
pink beans, and that only twice a
day.
No one can remain healthy long
on this observation-disclosures is press
ing need Of bailing out these men.
The bail money raised by the work
ers has been tied up by legal tech
nicalities, and more must be had.
Hendryx, and he speaks for the
others, is unafraid. "If / am
finally freed" he says, 81 will 60

by the officials that it would be
impossible to hire all steady men
because of the uncertainty of the
volume OF business over any great
period of time. Extras were first
hired during the war because the
low wage paid by the company pre-
vented it from getting steady men.
These men were paid every night,
worked eight hours or mere per day,
ofte nseven days per week. This
practice was continued until the
company signed a contract with the
union TO- idding it. The union rep
resentatives had suggested the linn
ting of the extras to six hours
work pcc day. The company was
quick to agree to this suggestion.
Later on tie union proposed four
hour day - IT, extras and this
also was readily ag9eed to by the
company.
Nothing was said by either party
to the agreement regarding the
wages of extras although their pay
was 81 cents per hour while the reg

the war to 62 cents to GO cents per

Hugo Oehler, Of the Trade Union

evidenced by the crash on Wall

of the American workingclass in
all industries. "The movement Of
the silk workers." said Oehler, sis
part of the rehabilitation of the
entire workingclass which is being
met by the most brutal terror of
the capitalist state, that we must
now expect and be prepared to meet
effectively. The drive among the
silk workers is part of the great
struggle of the N. T. w. U. in the
South and of the mass movement to
free the seven Gastonia prisoners.

HENDRYx Tells
OF RAILR0AD!NC

Trenton mill in Gastonia, and Loray
mill in Gastonia. He had been in
tn, Loray mill about year when
the strike started.
U. 7. w. Fraud.
All mills have bad conditions.
Hendryx joined the United Textile
Workers at Canapolis, in 1920.
The U. T. w. chiefs took $3.50 from
each worker and left the country,
doing nothing whatever for them.
He has no use for that kind of a
union. The National Textile Work
ers stays right in the fight, and
that is what the workers want.
The Loray mill had the worst con-
ditions of any he had been in-12-
hour day, even for children weigh
ing no more than 95 pounds, and
81 a week for these, in addition to
their being "cussed around and
kicked and abused"
Hendryx, a doffer, told of how he
worked stopped over all night, and
did up all his work, then sat down
to get Is minutes rest. The boss
excitedly reused him out of it;
Don't you dare sit down. If you
haven't anything to do, anyway

+brO1,nL -
Why He Was Picked.
The reason he was picked out,
along with six other innocent men,
to be railroaded to sentences up to
20 years in prison by the mill bosses,
Hendryx says, was because of his
activity in the strike and what he
saw. He jumped right into it, and
during the first two days, when only
about 900 were out, made speeches
from the corner of the employment
office, and pulled out 900 more.
Then he was put in charge of the
Workers International Relief Store,
and when the masked gangsters
destroyed it, he told the world he
could identify some of them. They
were mill superintendent and
bosses. He was in charge of the re-
lief store at the tent colony.
Gilbert Knew of Raid.
Three days before the raid, he
was stopped on the railroad tracks,
at dark corner, by Tom Gilbert,
and four other men, and beat up.
Gilbert told him at the time, "Pll
see you in your grave within three
days." which showed Gilbert's guilty
knowledge the raid was to be made.
The trial he characterized briefly
as a class trial; the defendants did
not expect justice, they were class
war prisoners, and the enemy be-
lieved in killing it's prisoners. But
Solicitor Carpenter, he reflected bit
terly, sis the two-face-est man ]
ever saw" Carpenter came around
at election time, gave all the boys
ice cream cones, and told them how
glad he was to do something for
Labor. Then when La Dor tried to
do something for. itself, Carpenter
tried to send the laborers to the cleo
trio chair.
Even the judge, who said he very
much doubted whether Hendryx was
guilty of anything, "gave me up to
seven years just the same"
The jury, all the defendants saw,
was prejudiced. Southern bosses
are sensitive about that. One juror,
employed by the Ford company,
