Union Executive Meets.
The executive bureau Of the Ma
tional Textile Workers Union met
yesterday in New York and called
meeting of the whole executive
council for June Is at SO Fifth Ave.
The bureau states the unions de-
termination to organize the textile
workers, Negro and white workers
on an equal basis, full social and
economic equality for all workers.
1t says:
"The textile bosses have declared,
If you won't accept our terms you
die If the textile workers don't
organize and fight for better con-
ditions they die of starvation. If
they do organize the bosses are de-
termined to let them know they have
methods of legal murder whereby
they may attempt to intimidate US.
The te1tile Uorkers aUuI organize
We have faced the murder gangs of
the bosses before and won out. In
Pawtucket, Rhode Island, in PhiIa-
delphia, Pa, in Gastonia and now
in Atlanta the bosses have had re-
course to killing to stop organiza-
ton.
"Let every district and local of
our union organize protest demon
strations and send kilograms to the
Governor of Georgia and the Atlanta
courts. Let every member of our
union talk to the rank and file men,
bers of the Textile workers who
work next toahim in the shop and see
to it that within the United Textile
Workers a mighty wave of indigna-
ton is aroused against Green and
the other stool pigeons for the tex
tile bosses. Our job is to see that
from every local of the United Tex
tile Workers as well as our own
locals, protest demonstrations are or
ganized and kilograms sent to the
Atlanta authorities, copies of resolu-
tions to the N.T.W. National office"
T.U.U.L. Statement.
The Trade Union Unity League
national office states:
Coming at a time when there is
increase in the lynching
Of Negro workers, to terrorize them
and to prevent the organization of
the Negro and white workers to-
gether these Atlanta indictments
mean that the workers, both white
and Negro, must give mighty an
swer to the bosses and the A.F.L.
officials. The bosses, supported by
the ALL. officials mean business.
Every T.U.U.L. union and every
T U.U.L. unit must mobilize its
forces to arouse a mighty wave of
protest against the southern bosses,
against the whole capitalist system,
and against the A.F.L. officials.
Now is the time for action! Mass
of workers must be held in
every mill town of the south, in
every district of the country.
We call upon our affiliated unions
to introduce resolutions into the a.
F. of L. locals, in order to reach the
rank and file workers of the ALL
Send kilograms to the authorities at
Atlanta.
Redouble your efforts to make the
June Southern District Conference

tactics of the bosses to crush our or

delegates to this conference.
