l would like to state here some
of the unfair tactics practised by
the E. F. Caldwell Co., Inc, on it's
workers.
This concern manufactures high
grade fixtures and chandeliers, also
antiques to grace the homes of the
exploiters of labor.
Out of a total Of 500 workers
there are about 25 workers that be-
long to the Electrical Workers
Union. Yet this firm stamps all of
their products with a union label,
when only 5 per cent of the help
is union. The men doing general
work do not even receive wages
enough to work on. | am referring
to the men not in the union. AS
work is not even unionized.
Length of service means nothing
to the company. They have laid off
men who shaved for them for a
period of many years. What a

would consider" a consultative
pact" as a means of saving the
conference. This is an admission
that the sharp rivalries between the
two leading imperialist robbers at
the conferences has already wrecked
it, and the various powers are man
euvering for war alliances.
The London Daily Herald today,
speaking for the British "labor'
government, which in turn voices
the wishes of British imperialism
hits at the security" or "consulta-
tive" pact. 1t declares: "There are
limits beyond which the British gov
ernment cannot go in accepting re-
sponsibilities abroad"
1t is now revealed that there have
been many and frantic meetings of
the imperialist bandit delegates dis
cussing these various war alliances,
with talk about disarmament" or
agreements" completely left out.
Despite the antagonisms between
them, the imperialists have shown
unity in their war preparations
against the Soviet Union. A "con-
sultative pact" which in reality
would be a war alliance, would be
directed as well against the Union
of Socialist Soviet Republics.

Southern Board Back
TUUL Conference

GREENVILLE, S. c., March 81
A Southern board meeting of the
National Textile Workers Union,
held here Sunday, won much atten-
tion from workers and the capitalist
press.
The board voted to establish sepa-
rate districts of the union; one in
Danville, Va, one in Winston-Salem,
N. c., and one in Charlotte, N. c.,
one in Greenville, S. c., one in Chat
tanooga, Tenn, one in Birmingham,
Ala, and one in Atlanta, Ga.
The board decided to call district
conventions in Atlanta, April 27,
Greenville, April 20, and in Char
lotte, April 13.
In Greenville the union decided to
call upon the workers to begin pre-
pairing for strike struggle. Or
ganization has been going on rap
idly.
Mass meetings of workers at the
midnight 15-minute smoke period at
different mills every night have re-
suited in many organizational gains.
The T.U.U.L. May II conference
will be composed of several hundred
delegates, with at least a third from
heavy industry, metal, railroad,
mining, marine, etc, ane one-third
from the textile mills, and the other
third largely from tobacco, furni-
ture, etc.
At least a quarter of the total
delegations will be Negro workers.

The National Miners Union Off

This murder of miners comes as
merely the first of a series of recent
disasters, all preventable, but not
prevented because it is cheaper for
the companies to kill the men than
to follow safety requirements
"The National Miners Union
makes as one of its principal de-
mands, safety of the men under
ground. Nothing but the organized
might of the workers themselves
can enforce safety conditions un-
derground, and the only miners
union which consistently fights for
safety of life and limb for the
miners is the N.M.U.
"The N.M.U. members in Arnetts-
vile were risking their lives to Or
ganize their fellow miners to abolish
these very risks that have just killed
II of them, to win also the fight
against starvation by mobilizing for
a great national strike this autumn,
for safety, for the six hour day and

for no discrimination toward Negro
or young miners, for more wages
and unemployment insurance. The
