Labor and Textiles
- r E V I z " -
By WILLIAM z. FOSTER.

Textile workers at Central Falls,
Rhode Island, on strike against
wage-cut, are facing tear gas bombs
and police night-sticks, while fellow
workers in the mine fields are carry
ing on their great struggle against
starvation. Back of these two fronts
in the class war is a story of capital
ist greed that is well told in books
Of the Labor and industry series,
prepared by the Labor Research AS
ISOLATION and published by Interna-
tional Publishers.
Labor and Textiles, by Bob Dunn
and Jack Hardy, together with an
earlier volume, Labor and silk, by
Grace Hutchins give the facts that
workers need and want to know
about the textile industries. How
capitalists are trying to squeeze
profits out of sick" industry how
they hide these profits from the
workers, how they move the mills
South to buy cheaper labor power
and leave behind them in New Eng
land dead towns and starving work.
ers-the whole story is here, told in
graphic, simple language. Workers
who want to know, for instance, who
owns the General Fabrics SILK Corp,
involved in the present strike, viii
find the facts on page 46 in Labor
and silk and the story Of Rhode
Island employers tactics on page 15s
in Labor and Textiles.
Speed-up and its particular form
in textile mills, wages lower than any
other manufacturing industry ex-
cept tobacco, night-work and the 60
hour week are described in detail so
clearly and wildly that other work.
ers who have never been in tex
tile plant may understand what cot
ton, wool and silk workers are up
against. Heroic strikes of textile
workers through hundsed years OF
American labor history make the
closing chapters of these books an
inspiration to all workers in the
present-daJ struggles. And the story
of textile workers emancipation in
the Soviet Union is also told.
Workers who read these books can
never again put any trust in Off
Gals of the United Textile Workers
of America, or of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor behind it. Thomas
F. Mcmahon and William Green are
exposed in detail for all their shame
less betrayal of the working class.
The books thus provide ammunition
for all who would help to build the
National Textile Workers Union.
Every worker in the struggle should
be armed with copy of each of these
dollar books. Buy them today from

The boss gets SO cents bale for

gets approximately $3.50. Sixteen
workers at the machine, making let
us say the high rate of 40 cents an
hour, is $40 for labor. The labor for
6 women for an hour is 60 cents,
making labor cost only 81. We will
be exceedingly liberal and allow the

CAREY WILL STUDY
POLICE SELECTION
Means of Improving Force Is Goal
of Senator in Proposed
Inquiry.

The procedure by which the personnel
of the Police Department. is selected
may be studied at the coming session of
Congress as a means of improving the
force by Senator Robert o. Carey of
wyoming, chairman of the Police Sub
committee of the Senate District Com
mittee.
In Washington for a brief visit today,
Senator Carey said he was interested in
police affairs with particular reference
to the question of what legislation may
be needed
The Wyoming Senator indicated he
was turning over in his mind some
thoughts relating to possible legislation
relating to the, Police Department, but
he was not ready at this time to discuss
his views beyond the following state
ment:
IT have thought that it might be nee
essary to provide means for more care
full selection of both officers and men,"
The Senator did not indicate that he
had come to definite conclusions on any
particular legislative changes, but that
he was considering this question.
Asked if he thought his subcommittee
would go into the complaints Of alleged
police brutality, Senator Carey said he
thought the legal department of the
Government was better equipped to
handle specific cases. He added, how
ever, that he was interested in lettering
the department and that if any legis-
lation is found to be necessary he would
consider it,
At the present time, appointment of
privates and selection of officers up to
and including the grade Of captain,

of court last evening. had a prospective
venire of 30 persons qualified to serve
as grand jurors. This morning they
were assembled in an empty court room
and were given printed copies OF the
qualifying questions propounded to
William S. Atkins. Each prospective
juror made written answers to the ques-
lions and was later sworn by another
clerk to the truth of the answers.
The 80 selectmen were taken into
court this morning and Justice Proctor
examined several of them privately at
the bench and then announced his
selection of the foreman and the %
other grand jurors. The remaining
