pairing to start their strike May Day

Duck Mill 90 per cent are women
and children who are forced 20 work
II and II hours day tor miserable
wages. The recent introduction OF
the fiendish stretchout system, fore
ing one worker to do the work Of
several, is the immediate cause of
til present revolt, which is under
the leadership of the National Tex
tile Workers Union. Already about
so workers have been fired for union
activit yam Indignation among the
workers is running high.
The Anchor Duck Mill, which
manufactures duck, is one of nine
mills owned largely by Boston cap
italists. One of the mills is in
Philadelphia, while the others are
in Georgia and Alabama. Profits of
the West Point Manufacturing Com
pany, the corporation owning the

IN THE SOU 7 II
Beverhoudt Disappears
at Hands of Police

WINSTON SALEM, s. c., May
Paul Beverhoudt, organizer for
the American Negro Labor Congress
is missing after having been arrested
by Winston-Salem police yesterday
He was arrested while distributing
the Young Worker. When E. NJ.
Whitman, local attorney for the In
ternational Labor Defense spoke to
some court official yesterday, the
official remarked that they had "got-
ten another red" When Whitman
later phoned to find out the specific
charge, he was told that they had
no such prisoner. They continued
to deny having Beverhoudt today.
Meanwhile, Beverhoudt is missing.
Negro workers have come to the |.
Id. office and reported that he is
nowhere to be found. Only the police
know his real whereabouts.
This outrage comes on top of a
series of arrests and intimidations
of workers in an effort to stall off
organization work and demonstra-
tions. Only four days ago the Trade
Union Unity League and National
Textile Workers Union was raided
The Monograph machine and 10000
leaflets were stolen. This raid was
perpetrated at night, after the work
ers had left the office.
The District l. L. D. is carrying
on an investigation of Beverhoudt's
disappearance and holds the Win
stom-Salem police directly respon-
sible.
