the measures proposed for every
worker in CASTOR County who does
not bow to Manville-Jenckes. These
are the measures the Gastonia Ga
zette calls for in every issue either
openly or by thinly yelled insinua-
ton.
But the present period is not that
of early capitalism. 1t is the per-
iod of imperialism-the period of
new wars of conquest and of new
revolutions of oppressed peoples,
Our class-the working class-has
but two alternatives-to organize in
every industry, multiply it's power,
and struggle against robbery and
persecution on all fronts-or sub
mission and slavery.
The working class of the South
has made it's decision. In Gastonia,
in Ware Shoals, in sElizabethton-
in q dozen different centers the
fight is on.
There is still cropping for cor
rect strategy and tactics, there is
still great confusion in the ranks of
the working class. But on one thing
the southern workers are clear. They
recognize such papers as the Gas
tonia Gazette as the organs of their
enemies-the mill barons and other
antiworking class groups. Such
papers as the Gazette can no longer
deceive the masses.
The Gazette has tried to make
outlaws of the workers who rebelled
against the Manville-Jenckes despo-
tism. 1t abuses them and calls for
their blood.
Perhaps some Communist organ
izers, members Of the N. T. w. u,
and other militant workers will be
sacrificed on the altar of Manville-
Jenckes by such high priests as Bull
Wrinkle and Dolley assisted by
acolytes like Roach and Gilbert.
But the N. T. w. U. has come to
stay and the [Gastonia Gazette can
not bring back the good old days
when no mill worker dared harbor
the thought of challenging the au-
thority Of the mill barons and their
hired spokesman.
This represents real progress for
the working class. 1t will continue.
1t is impossible to electrocute the
N. T. w. It's struggle in Gastonia
typifies that of the southern work
ing class--in textiles, steel, coal
mining, marine transport, etc.-as
a whole.
The sturdy rogue" theory will
not work. The mental shackles
which bound mill workers to the
Gastonia Gazette's "love the hand
that hits you" theory have been
broken in the struggle. 1t can de-
nounce and SANDER and incite the
Manville Jenckes mercenaries
against the workers but it can no
longer fool the masses.

two weeks, but then she had to gt
to work because of the death of hel
brother, who had contracted tuber,
culosis after two years work in The
mill, from cotton dust.
The schools are often situated or
company property, and the Local
school boards are controlled by the
bosses. They are made up of fore.
men, and other men in the hire Of
the company.
Binney works in the spinning de-
partment, and gets S4.95 per week
for IL hours a day, six days week
When she started to learn to work
at the machine the boss tricked her
into working two weeks for S.25.
She and her brother support a
family of five persons. She works
at 2 spinning machines, sides, and
sometimes is forced to work
frames, or 6 sides, for the same
pay. She has to stand on her feet
for II hours a day.
Asked what the children in the
South think about the Forthcoming
Children's Delegation to the Soviet
Union, she said, "They like it very
much. Since the strike, they want
to know the truth about Soviet
Russia, and now they don't believe
the lies that are spread about Rus
STA, and we know that there the
workers are not framed up for going
on strike. We in the South will back
the delegation, and do you think
that we can send a delegate to
Russia? ?"
Binney will soon leave New York
for a tour of the country, in which
she will appeal for funds for the
strike, and will also speak to the
workers children about the Chill
dren's Delegation to the Soviet
Union.
She was very enthusiastic about
the work of the New York Pioneers
in the strikes of the workers, and
are now preparing to help the fur
riers' strike.
When we get back to Gastonia,
we will tell the children more about
the children's delegation, and about
the way that the Pioneers all over
the country work. We in the South
will chip in our part to make this
delegation a big success" she said.

WARN SCHOOLS
CLERICAL HELP
TO OBEY RULES
Board President Declares
Many Abuse Working
Privileges.

Threatening to recommend dis
missal Of school employees disregard
inc rules governing working hours
established by Albert F. Walsman,
recently discharged school business
director. President Charles w. Kern
today called attention to a state
law giving the business director SUI
pervision over certain school en-
ployes.
The statement was based on a
recent ruling by the Indiana at
torney-general that various school
department heads are entitled to
appoint and discharge employees OF
their departments.
Kern called attention to Section
6731, Burns Revised Statutes, 70
giving the superintendent power to
appoint and discharge principals,
supervisors, assistants and teachers,
the librarian the same power over
librarians and other employees, and
the superintendent of buildings and
grounds power over engineers. JAM
tors and other persons employed IN
this work, with the business dlrector
appointing all other employees.
Lead to Abuse
Majority of these employees, Kern
said. were appointed by high school
principals, with the superintendent
approval, or by the superintendent
himself, these appointees feeling
they were accountable to no one
other than their immediate superior,
which led to grave abuses. some
schools dislnissing the office force
on every occasion and absences be-
ing frequent.
Walsman, he said, established a
rule regulating hours Of work from
s a. m. to 5 p. m. except Saturdays,
when hours are from a. m. to II
noon. Other rules provided that all
notices Of dismissals for holidays
must come from the business office,
lunch periods to last only one hour,
two weeks vacation with pay in
each year and all absences OF one
half hour or more to be reported
each week to the business office.
Must Obey Rules
The rules were issued, Kern said,
when Walsman found principals
we're permitting clerks and stem
ographers, paid from $1,000 to 2,l00
a year, to leave their work in June
and return in September, with
various other holidays in addition,
and frequent absences during the
year without accounting to anyone
other than the principal or depart
ment head. This was compared
with the situation Of teachers, who
must spend part of their summer
vacations in study, who are allowed
only ten days sick leave each year
and whose absences must be &C
counted for to the board Offices.
CAS- president of the board I had
hoped the fairness and good sense
of the rules for clerks and steno-
graphers would make a closed incl
dent of the matter" Kern said, but
it seems that the superintendent OF
schools does not approve of business
methods"
