FORSYTHE, GA, MILL HANDS
ARE WISE TO U.T.W.
a Worker Correspondent

FORSYTHE, Ga. (By MaiD.-
There are 200 to $50 hands working
in the Ensign Mill. They work IL
hours a day. Wages are never
more than $12 week for the hands.
We're joining-the National Union,
which fights for us, for we're wise
to the U.TW., which sold out the
mill workers over at Thomaston.
Well run those takers out of town
if they try to fool us.
The same slavery exists in the
mills of the Forsythe Mfg. Co. and
the Trio mill.
One thing we have to do is take
in all workers in our union, and
we're doing that-white and col
ored, men, boys, girls and women.
So long as they're shaving in the
mill, they're welcome into the Ma
tional Union.

GREENVILLE, S. r. (By MaiD.
Young workers l want to know how
many of you are taking part in our
National Textile Workers Union
and trying to make it stronger.
Now, young workers, we have all
got to get together and work hard
to organize our union, we just can't
let it drop.
The Southern workers are in too
bad condition. If we don't fight
for our rights there will be no one
to fight for us. We young workers
do just as hard work as the older
ones and get less pay.
We young workers work as long
as the older one and it looks like
the more work we do the more the
bosses want US to do. Young work.
ers, l noticed piece in the Green
vile News" our hometown paper,
where it said president Hoover was
trying to help the workers. Do you
believe he will? l don't; if he in
tended to help US he would have
already done so; he has been in of
flee plenty long enough to help US
if he intended to. We have to help
ourselves and there is only one way
to do it and that is to boost our
union and push it forth in spite of
the bosses teeth.
Young workers, it is very few
athletes you see come out of cot
ton mill. Why? 1t is because US
young workers are worked to death
and work almost twice as long as
we should be, and when we develop
into manhood we are nothing but

baseball clubs and so on, don't lei
them do this, let's all make it a rule

NEGRO AND WHITE MILL
WORKERS OF FORSYTHE
INTO THE N.T.W.U.
lBy a Worker Correspondent,

FORSYTHE, Ga. (By MaiD.-
We white mill workers of Georgia,
and the whole South have been told
from childhood that we were to
shun the Negro race. But we've
now come to the conclusion that the
boss wants to keep the white and
colored mill workers separate, SO
that We'll fight against each other
instead of fighting together against
the bosses.
That's been our trouble, not work
ing with the Negro workers. But
that's gone now. Well all be to-
gether in the National Textile Work
ers Union, and fight together.
Here in Forsythe there are three
mills that exploit the Negro and
white workers alike-the Forsythe
Ensign and the Trio Spinning Mills
White and colored-all workers in
the mills here are working IL hours
a day on both shifts, for 81 to $12
week. That's why they've all got

"pRAvDA" Gives
view OF indian
T. u, CONGRESS
Mass Pressure Forces
Right to Dissemble

Referring to the congress of the
Indian trade unions in Nagpur, the
"Pravda" declares that the attitude
of the reformist leaders which took
part in it was interesting owing to
the fact that mass pressure pre-
vented them from coming out whole
heartedly as the agents of capital
ism.
The executive committee Of the
congress adopted a resolution cal
ling for boycott of the Royal Com
mission sent by the Labor" govern
ment, and the congress chairman,
the "left-winger," Javahar Lal
Nehru, criticized the Macdonald
government and even declared that
his "ideal' was socialism.
When, however, the time came for
action, these cleft wing" dema-
gogues showed their political inn
potence and Unanswered between
the open traitors and the revolu-
tionary elements. This vacillation
was shown by the fact that at the
suggestion of Nehru the congress
decided to affiliate neither to the
Amsterdam nor the Red Interna-
tional of Labor Unions.
The revolutionary wave in India
was particularly clear. The power
full wave of strikes which had swept
through the country during the last
two years had embraced broad sec
lions of the proletariat and drawn
them into the struggle against
capitalism.
The political nature of the recent
struggles and the increasing lead
ing role of the revolutionary ele-
ments in the working class move
ment compelled the reformists to
adapt themselves to the given stu
alton. This explained the revolu-
tionary phraseology of Nehru and
his friends on the one hand and
their efforts at neutrality" on the
other.

Macdonald to Plan
Imperialist Role
Continued from PAGE One)

Continued from Page One)
England and America, heralded as
negotiations for peace by all the
apologists of capitalism, and par
ticularly by the socialist party, are
nothing but breathing-spell negotia-
tons for the purpose of better prep
arations for bloody fight to the
finish between the two imperialist
rivals.
While the fear of losing the domin-
ions, the spectre of colonial revolts,
the pressure of financial and econ
omic crisis has forced England to
avoid an immediate conflict with its
American rival and to grant it naval
parity with itself, neither the British
capitalists nor their parliamentary
agent Macdonald has the slightest
intention of going step beyond, and
of allowing supremacy to pass to
America.
.aacDonald merely expressed the
onviction of every British imper-
ialist when he stated that England's
navy was England itself and that
the sea was its security. The econ
omic and political struggle between
England and America at the naval
conference will take the form of a
technical struggle, in which the
fight over tonnage, over the calibre
If guns and the speed of vessels is
only technical expression of the
basic struggles for the control of
sea routes, of sources Of raw mater
ais and of markets for the sale of
commodities and the export of capt.

Macdonald will make every effort

British imperialism from the latest
developments in technique. The
British capitalists have nothing to
ear from Macdonald in this respect.

STEWARDS HOOKS
BAFFLE GR|FFMEN
Braxton Is Pounded Hard
in Absorbing First Defeat
of the Season.

ut. LOUIS, May 16-Bafled by the
left-handed slants of Walter
Stewart after the early part OF
~ the game, the Nationals wound
UP their first Western swing of
the year here yesterday by taking a
5to-3 licking from the Browns.
The Washington bunch started briskly
against Stewart, but soon stopped, while
the Browns made merry with Garland
BraXton's hurting throughout the con-
test, and the Nationals slim southpaw
was charged with his first defeat of the
season. But seven safeties were made
by the Nationals. The Browns got 10.
Five were doubles and one a triple.
The Browns stepped out in the third
inning to shatter a tie that the Ma
t1onals had just created, and remained
in front until the eighth, when Ossie
Bluege made the game all-even again
by lofting homer into the left-field
open stand. The Browns, though, came
back in the latter part of the round to
bunch double, triple and single for
two runs and the contest.
1t was sacrifice fly, caught by Sec
ond Baseman Melillo, that let Rice
score in the first inning. Sam had sin
gled, advanced to second as Kress fun
bled Judges grounder and moved to
third when Goslin forced out Judge.
When Bluege popped to short center.
Melillo went back for the catch. He
got the ball, but was in no position to
make heave to plate good enough to
head off Rice.
Two for Brownies in Second.
The Browns came back in the second
for two runs, one virtually handed them
by BraXton. KresS and O'Rourke
doubled in succession to put over the
first marker. Melillo beat out a bound
er to Bluege, sending ORourke to the
far corner. Then came the gift tally.
Braxton took Manion's grounder and
could easily have nailed ORourke at
the plate. Instead the pitcher elected
to retire Manion and let Blackie scamp
er home.
Each side scored in the third For
Washington, Rice beat out a grounder
to short and Judge sacrificed. Goslin
hoisted the ball to deepest center, where
Schultz made great catch. It was
easy for Rice to go up to third, and
when Schultz made careless return
Sam continued to the plate. He scored
by ducking cleverly about Manion, who
had received Melillo's relay seemingly
in plenty of time to get the runner.
For st. Louis Manush's double, a passed
ball and Schultes single netted run
after two we're out.
After Bluege's homer in the eighth
put the Nationals on even terms with
the Browns, Dan Howley's club stepped
out to win. With one out Manush
doubled and counted when Schultz
bounced a triple off the right-field
stand barrier. Kress singled Schultz
home and the Nationals were licked.

NEW SWAT KINGS
LOOM IN MAJORS
Goslin and Hornsby, Champs

Starts This Year.
BY ALAN ]. GOULD,

n YEW YORK, May 16.-Batting
nj kings are not crowned in May,
VI but If this months perform
l. ances are any criterion the
major leagues will have a brace
OF new rulers in the domain of the
royal and ancient wallop.
The kings of 1923, Goose Goslin and
Rogers Hornsby, dashed forth with low
cred lanceS in April, apparently ready
to ride rough-shod through all opposi.
ton, but both have slumped~ badly in
the last few weeks. The great Rajah,
in fact, has had trouble keeping around
800 the last few days, slipping well back
in the pounding parade, but it's too
early to count him out altogether. The
Goose promises to be honking as ef-
fectively as ever in time to defy all
rivals.
Meanwhile new faces take prominence
IN the smuggling procession as the names
or Cobb, Speaker and Collins, among
others of the old guard, no longer ap-
pear. Gehringer and Alexander of De-
troit, Averill of Cleveland, Lindstrom
and OFT OF the Giants, Simmons and
Foxx OF the Athletics and the celebrated
Waners OF Pittsburgh all are helping
supply the new punch. Just now
Brother Lloyd is outdistancing Brother
Paul Waner, but the latter may be ex-
pected to hit his real stride at any time
and join the pace settlers.
By precedent this should be Harry
Heilmann's year. He has won the
batting crown of the American League
in the odd years since 1921, but Hand
some Harry has started slowly. He
has a flock of clouting- teammates to
beat this year before looking elsewhere
for batting laurels.
Base ball packs some of the queerest
turns of any sport, and this Spring is
furnishing flock of good examples.
Barney Friberg, considered bust"
as an infielder, turned pitcher this
Spring, but when Tommy Thevenow
was hurt he jumped in at shortstop for
the Phillies and has played sensation
ally.
Up among the "five leading batsmen"
of the National League is Frank Frisch,
blasting away while the man for whom
he was traded after the 1926 season,
Hornsby, is way down the list; also
ANDY High, starring at third for the
Cardinals after being cast off by the
Robins and Braves; not to overlook
Rabbit Maranville, playing brilliantly
for the Braves again after being vital
cog in the 1914 champions.
George Uhle changed his Cleveland
uniform for Detroit livery and promptly
won six in row. Sam Gray and Alvin
Crowder. the Brown pitching aces. were
discarded by Eastern clubs. Cuyler,
Hornsby, Stephenson and Wilson. the
big four of the Chicago Cub attack, all
were traded or released by other big
