The Workers Relief Organization
in the South

Life in each mill village is the same, pa
ternalistic, carefully guarded over by the mill
owners and their hirelings to see that their
slaves are "contented." The mill owners stop
at nothing to enforce their rule. This was
proven by the onslaught Sept IA in Gastonia
when workers attempted to attend mass meet
ing called by the National Textile Workers
Union and were shot at and Ella May was
killed.
There were strikes in Pineville, Bessemer
City, Charlotte, Pinoka, which the Workers In
ternational Relief took care Of Thousands of
men, women and children learned the meaning
of Solidarity There have always been Com
munty Chests in these mill villages, to which
the workers are forced to contribute. They
usually are not asked-just locked. When the
strike came on, the workers learned in hurry
the money they contributed was used against
them to break the strike.
Throughout the strike the relief committee
was trained to take leading position and rally
the workers for the fighting policy of the W.
l.R. The mass meetings held by the WI.R
stressed the fact that strikes can only be won
through larger picket lines, on which not only
the men but the and children should
take their places The strikers were told that
workers in W.I.R. branches give relief to
strikers only on the basis that they are militant
and help to win the strike
Relief committees in the South collected some
funds among those who were working But
the Southern workers live so near starvation
they have very little to give
All winter the WIR has been working to-
gether with the T.U.U.L. and NTWU, or
ganizing the workers in preparation for the
gigantic strikes in the South which will es-
tabllsh 7-hour day an decent living wage.
Towards this end the W.IR. branches have
been raying the workers in the South on an
educational, organization, and social program.
"a Trip to the Soviet Union" has been shown
in many Southern cities, and the workers have
had chance to see some of the advantages
achieved by the Russian workers.

strations-presumes the most energetic and
persistent work to mobilize the proletaran
masses for the fight for the seven-hour day
and higher wages, against the wholesale dis
missals, for unemployment benefit, etc. Strike
struggles for the realization of these demands
have a revolutionary character and can over
night be converted into distinctly revolutionary
political fights The connection of the fight of
the workers in the factories with the fight OF
the unemployed, the most ruthless counter
measures against the fascist methods of sup
preston employed by the government, the
breaking through of the bourgeois legislation
regarding collective agreements and arbitra-
ton, the employment of revolutionary methods
in CARRYING out the movement, create the pre-
sumptions for the coming great revolutionary
fights for power.
The carrying out of this work, requires the
systematic organization of the workers strug-
giles. Revolutionary mass propaganda and rev.
dictionary mass organization-these are the
chief measures of the revolutionary advance
guard for organizing the proletarian struggle
for power. ITO rouse the revolutionary deter
minaton of the prOletariat," said Lenin ito

cordance with the revolutionary situation"
that is the task of the revolutionary advance

ONE year ago the Workers international Re

The W.IR. had no committees, no branches,
and was unknown to the Negro and white
workers.
Two thousands workers in the Loray Mill
Gastonia, voted to strike April /, under the
militant National Textile Workers Union Their
vote was fight against the eleven hour work
day, the unbearable stretchout-out and miser-
ably low wages in the form of coupons in the
company store which were spent by the workers
in advance before the end of the week. The
strikers were penniless the day they came out
The W.IR. was called upon to care for the
strikers and their families, and Immediately
established relief station.
Can't Be Stopped
One night the relief station was raided and
the food thrown upon the streets. The WIR
answered by distributing food from a truck

responded by establishing tent colony. 1t
was this tent colony which was raided on June

ing wounded, three policemen wounded the
chief of police mortally.

tent colony and rallied the workers All the
forces of the state, the militia, the hired thugs,
the stool pigeons, which were used against the
strikers and against the strikers organizations
could not stop the militancy of the workers
The strike opened new life for the Southern
textile workers. This new proetariat fresh
from mountain farms was not used to indus

wages by the mill owners year ago resulted

the struggle against their bosses quickly de-
veloped in them the need of combined action.
Through the efforts of the W.I.R calling social

meetings the workers got TO know each other.

Mass Struggles Developing in the

did not fully as yet understand all the neces.
sary organization steps the bosses temporarily
defeated them. Having increased the operation
of the knitting machines, and also increased
productivity so per cent the bosses abolished
the night shift, firing every worker employed
on it,
In the Edna Mill wage cut was also i'm
posed recently The workers struck and forced
the mill owners to take back the cut. The
bosses then resorted to the same maneuver as
in the Adelaide, and got a ten per cent wage
cut.
Ready To Organize.
In the A. Il. Bittner Mill, located in Stating
ton, Pa, wage cut averaging ten per cent
was imposed. Here also, they refused to ac-
cept the cut and declG I'D strike. Workers
imported from the neighboring town, Nortamp-
ton, walked out of the mill in body upon be-
ing informed that there was strike in prog
ress at the plant. The National Textile Work
ers Union organizer upon coming into the town
to help carry on strike, was approached by
other workers of mills located in the town,
explaining that they also expected a wage cut
and were willing to be organized. AS one
worker particularly emphasized, What we need
n this town is strong militant union other
wise these bosses will stop at nothing in order
drive us into slavery"
These incidents are typical of the general
REVEALING conditions in the Lehigh Valley silk
1dustry.
We have now wages of $12 to S18 per week
or unskilled workers, and an average of $25 to
80 for the very skilled The prevailing hours
{ labor are anywhere from so to 70 per week.

The Challenge of Bourgeois
Education to the Working Class

"EDUCATIoN" has always been possession
of the ruling class. According to the
American Labor Year Book, in 1924 1877 per
cent of those children who entered school at
all, stopped their schooling at the 9th grade;
332 per cent entered High School and only II
per cent were found in the colleges.
The fact is clear therefore, that the children
of the workers are in the public schools dur
ing the first years of their lives.
The working class child in the bourgeois
educational institution if he is taught any
thing at all about the labor movement is
either actively propagandzed against it Or
by cunning presentation of "botl sides" of
the question, is psychological into an accep-
lance of the ruling class point of view. He
is taught to be 900 per cent American; to
view the institutions of the bourgeois state
fixed and Interchangeable. He learns that
there is no class struggle and that there is
equal opportunity for the child of the worker
and the child of the boss. The organizers,
biologists and others of the worst enemies of
the working class are trained in these insti-
tutions.
What is the task of the revolutionary labor
Party of the u S. A. has answered this ques-
ton by the establishment of Workers School
in New York. with branch schools in many
other industrial centers, where education,
based on a recognition of the class struggle
is offered to workers In the Workers School
both sides of the question are not presented
The workers are taught that there are two
sides-the side of the boss and the side of
the worker-but it is made very clear to them
on which side they belong. They are trained
for leading posts in the class struggle. They
are taught MARKHAM economics; sociology from
the point of view of the exploited masses and
history in the light of the teachings of Marx
and Lenin. English is taught to foreign born
workers, not as a course in Americanization
but as the worker learns to read his first sim
pie sentences he learns in English of the class
struggle and its meaning to him.
This working class education must be ex-
tended. The Workers School is planning to
establish a branch school in the South for
Negro and white workers. 1t also plans to
organize self-study courses for isolated groups
of workers. For this work funds are required.
The bourgeosie supports its educational in
stitutions literally. 1t fights the establish
ment of working class schools. The Workers
Schools can look only to the working class
for their support. The $4,000 drive which
the Workers School is making in order to
secure funds for the enlargement of it's ac-
tlvltles must be supported by every class con-
scious worker. The capitalist propaganda of
the bourgeois schools must be answered bv

Don't Feel Sorry; It's a Bluff!

Wanamaker was once caught stealing mil
lions of dollars from the government on fraud
ulent weights on imported sugar. But that
isn't all of it. Wanamaker loaned" Whalen
to New York City as police commissioner.
Wanamaker ought to be paid back with in
terest. But he had the job of beating up the
workers on March 6, and he did it. But he
talked too much about it and has been seeing
notices every day in the papers that he was
"resigning" Then his attempt to help one
taxi trust against another was busted in the
eye.
Then his goose-step order to make every
chauffeur buy a uniform was sat on. The
idea is that the capitalist courts are preparing
to railroad the Unemployed Committee and
nave to make showing previously that
they're above being influenced by Whalen
Don't feel sorry! There, now, we didn't think
you'd cry about it anyhow. But don't look
for anything but class revenge against the
Unemployed Committee from the courts.

BY MAX HARRIS.

THE textile industry, more than any other in
dustry, exampifies the serious economi:
crisis which is rocking the boat of American
capitalism. Wage cuts, longer hours speed-up
and all other forms of naturalization methods
are being used by the mill barons to still
further extent in textile, than in any other in
dustry.
The Lehigh Valley section of the textile in
dustry where approximately 131 silk mills are
located has been somewhat immune in the past
from the crisis so seriously affecting other Sec
tons. While the workers in the South are
forced to slave anywhere from II to 13 hours
a day for minimum wage of S12 per week,
and whilst the conditions of the mill workers
in Paterson, New Bedford, and other important
textile centers, are gradually being brought
down to the level of the southern mill work
ers, the silk workers in the Lehigh Valley
were still able last to maintain wage scale
of S35 to $40 for 50-hour week.
But Now 1t Starts.
Recent developments in the Lehigh Valley
silk industry have proven conclusively that the
workers here are not immune from the general
crisis affecting the textile industry today.
These developments fling back the lies Of the
mill barons and the labor fakirs, that the con-
ditions will continue to remain reasonable"
In the Adelaide Mill, which is the largest in
Allentown, wage cuts were imposed continu-
ously for the past six months, until the total
reductions amounted to approximately so per
cent. At the same time the hours of labor
were increased from so to 70 per week. The
workers were recently informed that they would
have to work overtime without receiving any
extra compensation, and would also be required
to come in on Sundays. The owners of the
,,,,I oh 70 for No oI1fc nd
other wprsened conditions upon the workers by
resorting to trick which is now being put into
wide practice by the mill owners here. Before
installing wage cut, they announce that then
plant is compelled to lay off all hands. The
following week when they report back to work.
their jobs have other workers hired for ten pei
cent less.
Keep Trying the Trick.
Precisely the same thing is now occurring in
the Maxwell, and has taken place in the Edna.
Arcadia, and other important mills here. The
bosses know and understand that with the
present rehabilitation of the workers it would
be impossible to impose direct wage cut, with
out having the workers fight back.
Where the mill barons have resorted to open
wage cuts and further naturalization methods
the workers have replied by walking out on
strike and militantly fighting back. At the
Arcadia Mill (which was recently located in N
Y. City and moved to Allentown in order to
produce more goods at the expense of the
workers) the workers in the knitting depart
ment were informed that hereafter tHoy would
be required to operate IL machines ssstead of
the usual eight.
The workers answered this by spontaneously
walking out on strike, but the fact that they
