Gus, and urged them to send dele
gates to Charlotte to participate in
the general struggle against the
stretch-out, long hours and for bet
ter wages.
It was revealed by the strikers
here that the U. T. w. takers are
boasting that the rayon strike in
Elizabethton, which they betrayed,
was a great victory" that the
8-hour day and wage increases were
won. Elizabethton workers at the
Bessemer Conference had a very diff
ferent story to tell, the N. T. w. U.
organizers said. The organizers re-
counted what actually did occur and
again warned against the U. T. w.
misleaders. Only one man, evidently
local official, attempted to defend
the U. T. W, but was soon silenced
when the black record of the fake
union was exposed.
The Marion strikers expressed
great interest in the twenty-three
defendants at Gastonia, and ex-
pressed the hope that they will go
free.
There are $50 strikers in Marion,
all from one mill which is closed
down. The real test will come soon
when the mill attempts to open with
scabs, which will probably happen
next week.
The committee of N. T. w. organ
izers distributed copies Of the Daily
Worker, the Gastonia Labor De-
fender and Solidarity, organ of the
Workers International Relief, and
many N. T. w. leaflets. Stickers,
calling on the workers of the South
to send delegates to the Charlotte
Conference were posted upon build
ings all over the town and on the
stand from which the U. T. W. fax
ers speak.

L. leaders are said to be in agree
ment.
The street car men fought so mill
family when the company attempted
to operate the cars under police pro-
lection, and public opinion was so
obviously with them, that the City
Council was forced to order the COM
pany to discontinue it's efforts to
operate the cars under the pretext
of stopping the bloodshed. In re-
atty is was an acknowledgement Of
defeat in the effort to break the
strike in this way. Now they are
trying a new method.
When the workers demanded, in
mass meetings and by overwhelm-
ing votes in union meetings, to cal
a general strike in New Orleans, the
A. F. of L. officials fought against
it. Throughout, the A. F. of L. has
co-operated with every move to quiet
what very obviously developed into
revolt the officials were unable
to ouell.
The company declared its readi-
ness to negotiate with the A. F. OF
l.. reactionaries, even going to the
length of proposing a three-year
agreement with the unon, which the
workers unanimously rejected. The
demands include an 8-hour day, in
stead of the existing 9-hour day,
wage increases to 60-cents- an-hour
minimum, no dismissals without the
consent of the union, elimination of
the "no-strike" clause from the
agreement and non-interference in
union affairs. These demands were
all rejected by the company.
Recognizing the need of building
powerful working class union I'M
der leadership capable of exposing
the A. F. of L. betrayals and sue
cessfully leading struggles, the car
men are sending a delegation to the
Trade Union Unity Convention in
Cleveland Aug. 81, to help organize
a center which will be able to give
guidance to their struggles.

LAST CALL FOR NEEDLE WORKERS
.MOONL|TE CRUISE in BIG NEE TIN
Duty of Workers to Go,
Save Daily

it turns out to be equally success
full financially depends on the CO.
operation of the workers.
The Daily Worker is stalking its
last hopes on this affair. AS we
have repeatedly reminded our read
ers in these columns, the response
to our desperate appeals for aid to
save the only English language la
Dor newspaper from collapse has
fallen woefully short of expecta-
tions, and consequently the Daily
is no nearer safe ground today than
it was two months ago, when the
$4,000 emergency campaign was
launched.
How we have been able to bring
the paper out day after day on an
average income of $1,000 a week
when at least $1,000 daily was
needed to see it through, is mir
acle that must be ascribed to the
fierce tenacity of the revolutionary
spirit forming it.
Unless the cruise tonight returns
handsome profit to the Daily, the
calamity which we have so far man
aged to put off will overtake the
paper as a matter of course. There
fore every militant worker in the
city must regard it as his duty,
although a pleasant one, to dig deep
and buy up all the tickets he can
afford. Aside from it's lighter
phase, the affair must be turned
into demonstration for the survi-
val of the Daily Worker.
The capacity of the Peter Stuy-
vesant is $500, but no more than
$500 tickets will be sold, so that
plenty of elbow room is assured to
the workers who take the trip.
Tickets at the desk will be Spin
advance they are $3.50 apiece. We
sail rain or shine from the foot of
West 42nd st. at s p. m. sharp on
a nonstop run up the Hudson and
back that will take about five hours

said that the coming drive will con-
solidate the victories won at that
time.
Speak From Floor.
Following Zimmerman's report a
large number of workers took the
floor and participated in the general
discussion. Many of them bitterly
denounced the reign of gangster-
ism let loose by the chiefs of the
International" the company union
of the manufacturers, and referred
especially to the murderous attack
on Jack Jacobs, the cutter, who is
now in a critical condition in Bel
levue Hospital. They declared that
the success of the Forthcoming drive
will prove that the workers will not
be frightened into supporting the
company union by these methods.
Greet Mill Striker.
A stirring ovation was given to
Bertha Crawford, Gastonia mill
striker, who with Jeanette Pearl, a
representative of the Workers Inter-
national Relief, spoke at the meet
ing. The striker told of the heroic
struggle being waged by the mill
workers, gave the details of the at
tempt to frame up the 16 workers
who will soon be placed on trial, and
concluded with the statement that
"a strong union will be built in the
south in spite of the textile bosses.
A total of $3.50 was collected for
relief and defense by the workers
present.
Irving Potash, head of the organ
ization department of the Industrial
Union, acted as chairman of the
meeting.

ger thugs which was to have been

days. The call IS attention to
the intolorable conditions now ex-
listing aboard the ships, and shows
how the marine industry has under
gone radical changes since the end
of the war.
Conditions
"The universal introduction of oil
fuel" the call says, "the Diesel en-
CINE, the electric drive, the metal
mike the shipping splice, the auto
matte chipping hammers, the paint
spraying machines and even the
INFLAMMATION of the galley, have
practically reduced the status of the
seaman to that of an unskilled
worker.
"The introduction of these labor
saving devices has resulted in ter
rifle speed up and thousands o.
seamen are thrown on the beach"
1t is pointed out that the ration
alization process has affected not
only the seamen, but the longshore-
men as we'll. "The speed up and
the introduction of new machinery
(conveyors, etc. has resulted in the
employment of less men on dock,
deck and hold"
Profits of Bosses.
While the marine workers are
facing these abominable conditions,
it is charged, the ship owners are
piling up tremendous profits. The
government with the passage of the
Jones' White subsidy law has made
it possible for the steamship COM
panies to draw tremendous sums
from the U. S. treasury for the
exploitation of the seamen.
George Mink, secretary of the
Marine Workers League, has al
ready received information as to the
number of delegates expected from

lows: Baltimore, 10 delegates; Phil
