They realize that the American Fed
Grafton of Labor act as boss men in

March End, William Green, speaking
before a distinguished" audience of
preachers, mill men, etc, appealed to
the Atlanta Chamber of Commerce
and the mill barons in Georgia to
open their mills to the ALL. with
its "co-operative method of produc-
ton and enlightened management
which put mills on a paying basis"
William Green had nothing to say
about the recent wage cuts, the
stretch out, the docking system. And
when questioned about unemploy-
ment, his answer was the calling in
of the police and the arrest of the
N.T.W.U. organizer.
The arrest of the N.T.W.U. or
ganizer by William Green and the
testimony given in court by II A. F.
L. officials against the N.T.W.U. or
ganizer has opened up the eyes of
the workers here as to the role of
the A. F. L.
Besides that, the southern mill
workers haven't forgotten the sell
outs of 1921. The Fulton bag work.
ers of Atlanta still remember the
treacherous sell out of Ntheir 1916
strike and the recent sell outs in
Ware Shoals, Elizabethtown and the
leading of the defenseless, unarmed
pickets of Marion into slaughter

workers in the South.

Negroes Worst Exploited.
The Negro workers here are spe-
cially exploited. The Negro work
ers living in Sparrows Point are
completely tied to the company thru
credit. The company has rooming
places of the dirtiest kind for them,
operating on credit. Through their
ownership of the town of Sparrows
Point the company is able to keep
thousands of workers tied to them
hand and food. The company also
mas large police force to subject
the workers. The Negro workers
in the mill are given the hardest
and dirtiest work for the lowest pay.
The company has segregated the
Negro workers in the restaurants
and in the washrooms.

When Tricks fascist activities
were exposed, Carl Severing, Reich
Minister of the Interior, was forced
to suspend a federal subsidy of $780,
900 a month to the Thuringian state

citation.
This act on the part of the social
democrat Severing is only a legal
gesture, since the socialists have no
intention of really combating the
fascists, and after some correspon-
dence the subsidy was restored. The
same Severing makes every effort to
destroy the German Communist
Party, and is ready to drown the
German working class in blood.

Georgia.
With the closing down of many of
the mills in Columbus, Macon, Au-
gusta, Rome, Atlanta and many of
the other cities in Georgia, and with
many of the mill villages on a star
walton level, with the rest of the
mills working only part time, the
textile workers in Georgia are ready
for struggle and organization.
The Docking System
Those mills operating are only
working part time, and all the work
ers get is about 50 to $12 for ten,
eleven and twelve hours day. With
the system of docking, even these
miserably low wages are CIT contin-
ually. In Macon, Ca, one woman
showed slips for the year 1929
where the total deducted for docking
was $156 or So a week. In Scott
dale, Ca, for every bad cut, the
workers are locked four cuts. In the
Fulton Bag of Atlanta and the Ano-
horduck Mill of Rome, ETC., the fine
system for these bad cuts has low
cred the wages anywheres from 10
to 20 per cent.
Wage Cuts
Besides the docking system, which
is another means of cutting wages,
the mill workers have had direct
cut in wages. In Scottdale, Ga, the
workers have received cut from A
to 441a cents on the dollar. In Rome,
most of the workers received a Is
per cent. cut in wages. Besides re-
ceiving the cut in wages, new sys-
tenn of stretch out has been installed.
Many of the loomfixers have been
stretched out from about 70 looms to
105 looms and weavers have been
stretched out from IS to 80 looms.
Workers in Revolt
The workers in Georgia are re-
voting and organizing under the
banner Of the Trade Union Unity
League and National Textile Work
ers Industrial Union. The mill own
ers and Chamber of Commerce are
trying to smash the revolutionary
trade unions in Georgia. in line
with the national terrorism against
the Communist Party, T.U.U.L. and
the revolutionary trade unions, the
mill owners and Chamber of Com
merce have tried by terrorism, jail
ing, throwing of tear gas bombs in
our meetings and raiding and pad
locking the union headquarters to
smash and drive US out of town.
Their screaming editorials and head
lines are calling for lynch mobs to
drive out the organizers and a
whisper campaign for mob riot has
started throughout the city of At
lanta to prepare for the trial of the
organizers who were arrested before
and after March 6.

However, the mill owners realize
that the workers are organizing into
militant union, under the leadership
of the N.T.W.U., and although they
prefer to run their mills without any

OAKLAND, Calif.-The unem-

day by day becoming more critical.
In the retail department of Mont

their filing Of applications for "po-
sitions" as the waitingflist has reach

has been reduced by not less than

Religious in u. S. S. r. Reject Pope

No such demonstrations have TAX
en- place anywhere. On the contrary,
the firm attitude taken up by the
Metropolitan against Papal and
Anglican interference in the internal
affairs of the Soviet Union in the
interests of world capitalism, has
met everywhere with unanimous sup
port and enthusiasm amongst the
believers, who have every cause to
regard pseudo-friendliness on the
part of the Pope towards the Creek
Orthodox Church with the utmost
mistrust.

remarks about the Shipping Board

men use in the fo'castle. They leave
no doubt about their opinion of T.

Board Gets Billions.
Since its establishment, the gov
eminent has sunk over $3,600,000,-
900 into the Shipping Board. Most
of this money has found it's way into
the pockets of the big ship owners.
In October, 1929, the U. S. Shipping
Board had 548 vessels under it's con-
troll with a total lightweight ton
mage of 4,474,016, which is nearly
one-third of the entire tonnage in the
United States. Out of this over g.
100000 tonnage, or $40 vessels were
tied up, not working in October.
Probably another million in tonnage
has been put on the idle list since
the sharpening of the crisis.
I Jobs Scuttled.
So the lines of sailors cast on
the beach gro1O larger. They don't
frequent the Boards fink hall for
Jobs any more. After four months
of qVaiting even the most patriotic
sailor begins to learn that Jobs
haze been scutHed.
They come up because it's warm
and most of them haven't a penny to
get flop. Free flops at the "Holy
Flop House" are cut down, and all
ether places are filled with thou
sands of unemployed land workers.
The colder the day, the bigger the

Nothing for Jobless.
The demand for "Work or Wages
among the seamen has special
point. Under the Jones' White sub
sidy law the government is handing
over S250,000,000 to the shop own
ers. But not one penny for unem-
pIoyment insurance for jobless sea-
men. Millions in mail subsidies
(subventions) are given the ship
bosses. This money is used to fill
the pockets of the ship owners and
to increase unemployment among the
seamen and stevedores in U. S. and
other ports. Here's how it works in
the words of one of the seamen who
worked on one of the Boards ships
not long ago:
"The Seamen's Act provides for
four hours on and eight off for the
black gang. (The black gang is the
engine room workers, coal passers or
firemen; water tenders, oil wipers,
engineers, etc. These ships get a
big pile of dough from the govern
