TEXTILE WORKERS
Propose Bill For Hours
Regulation

New York City (1LNS)-Plans for
a campaign in behalf Of congressional
regulation of hours in the textile in
dustry were made at three-day ses-
sion here of the executive council Of
the United Textile Workers of Amer
lea, at union headquarters in the Bible
House. Establishment of maximum
48-hour week throughout the indus
try is proposed.
A tentative draft of a bill to be
placed before congress received the
enthusiastic endorsement of the ex-
ecutive council. Plans are now being
formulated to bring together all in
terested factors in this legislation.
Commenting upon this proposed
measure, President William F. Nc
Mahon said: "In almost every in
stance when remedial legislation has
been proposed to prevent the exploit
alton of women and children by state
regulation, employers have stated
that they are intellectually in ac-
cord with federal regulation that
would prevent unfair competition to
themselves. The opportunity is now
being given them to prove their sim
cerit y toward constructive humani-
tartan legislation by lending this
measure their whole hearted and ac-
tive support"
Interest in South Grows
Representatives of the organization
from the South report a growing in
terest in the movement to regulate
the hours of labor.
Officials of the United Textile
,, Workers will confer with the officials
of the American Federation of Labor
on this proposed bill, and all state
Federations of Labor, city central
bodies and local unions, throughout
the country, will take part in the
movement.
The executive council also placed
the influence of the organization be-
hind the anti-injunction bill now be-
fore congress. Congressman in all
parts of the country are urged to vote
for this protective measure for the
prevention Of exploitation and to out
law the yellow dog" contract.
Council Wires Norris
The executive council wired SEN
ator Norris, the introducer Of the
anti-injunction bill, expressing appre-
citation for his efforts in behalf of Ia
Dor, trusting for an early passage of
the act and relief from the oppressive
court injunctions now being used to
kee the workers ip subjection.

as to make it impossible for judges to
avoid the obvious intention of the
law-which was to protect labor un-
ions from such charges as result
of engaging in legitimate union ac-
tivities.
The chronological record of the
strike situation which the report pro-
vides irresistibly drives home the con-
clusion, without augmentation, that
the conviction of Hoffman, was not
based on sufficient evidence, but was
merely part of the anti-union bias of
the entire community right from the
start.
