Support of Corrupt Machine in New
York
When members of local So in New
York revolted, the Morrin gang es-
tablished local over its head with
the same crowd of racketeers in the
leadership. Before this, however,
Morrin revealed his real intentions.
He called Frank Marley who had
been elected president by the men,
bership, when it Indignantly kicked
out the international gang in the
local to a conference in Washington
Morrin gave him and the ousted
clique a hearing. At an attempted
peace" meeting, Schilling, the GUST
ed union secretary of local So, spoke
to Marley. He showed clearly that
the International by expelling Brand
lie does not whitewash its record nor
cover up its racketeering.
Here is the conversation which is
now part of an affidavit made out by
Marley against the International Of
ficials in the locals fight against
the officials:
"'You wouldn't hesitate making an
easy dollar on the outside. Why
should you worry about the members
of Local So. Had I given any other
member of our local the same chance,
he would be tickled to death. You
know you can't beat us. See what
happened to Locals AZ and 361 in
New York. They kicked too much
and so Morrin took them over and
took all their property. Look what
happened to the Perth Amboy local
and the Newark local. Even Mayor
Hague was made fool of by Morrin.
"Brandle Still In Control.
Hague wanted the ousting Of
Brandle Of Local As on account of
his racketeering activities. A re-
ceiver was appointed to take care of
the local and Brandle was put out.
We fooled Hague. We suspended the
meetings of that local so that in spite
of the receiver and Hague, Brandle
is still in control through his friends.
so the laugh is on Hague. See,
Brandle is a friend of Morrin and
Morrin needs the support at conven-
tons of fellows like Brandle. Do you
remember the last convention at ST..
Louis last Summer? You saw Brandle
there with gang Of gunner. Well,
they are the ones that controlled the
convention.
" DO you remember when that fool
from Cincinnati denounced Morrin?
Well you saw Brandle throw butts at
him and heckle him. He got the works
later. That shut them all up and
that's how Morrin holds on. He has
them all bulldozed. Did you see how
the death and pension funds we're
wiped out without any opposition and
a new one started? You think he
could have gotten away with that
unless he had the delegates all bull
dozed or boozed up?
LET International Rule"
"'You are licked unless you play
ball. Let the International run the
election and both Of us will be re-
elected"

TEXTILE CODE TO
WAGES NOT
END CHILD LABOR
Is Maneuvre to Stress
Need of Starvation
Wage Rates

WASHINGTON June ga big
hollabaloo was made about the pro
posed" elimination OF child labor
from the textile industry at the hear
ing on the textile industry code now
going on here. This dramatic man
oeuvre by the textile barons, in order
to draw the workers attention away
from the starvation wage rates they
are trying to put over, came in the
form Of declaration by T. M. Mar
chant, president of the Cotton Man
ufacturers Association
"Mr. Chairman" he said, "this is
a time that brings happiness to me.
For many years, serving the textile
| industry, I have been interested in
something we are now considering
most seriously. We believe, as you
put it yesterday, the minimum wage
provision of the code will end child
labor, which has already reached a
vanishing point in the industry
Brings Him Happiness
The gall of Marchant's statement
I'Should be clear to every worker. These
textile barons who for decades have
been swelling their profits out Of the
labor of hundreds of thousands of chill
dren. now find, under the new code
which Mcmahon of the A. F. of L..
helped prepare, it will be cheaper to
hire adult labor in the place of child
labor. This brings great happiness to
the textile barons. Besides, Marchant
says, they are going to eliminate
something which has already reach
ed a vanishing point" In short, they
claim they are going to eliminate very
| little. 1t is true, that under the ter
rifle blows Of the crisis, the textile
bosses have been employing adult
workers under the stretchout and
speed up at wages they formerly paid
to child workers. Now with the slav-
cry code being rushed through, they
will find it more profitable, wherever
it suits their convenience, to hire ex-
perienced adult workers at the Starv-
alton level formerly paid to children.
"a Great Victory"
This VIM. F. Green, president of
the A. F. of L., wants the workers to
consider as great victory under
ICCOSSNSIb ltluu GIid oldfCly Ul1ls
General johnson stopped the pro-
gression of the hearing to emphasize
the meaning of the proposed" elimi-
nation of child labor. "Of course, 3"
said the General, "the suggested in
clusion in the code is one of the most
significant developments of this hear
ing" And then he went on to ex-
plain why he thought so: "If you
have minimum for adults as we'll
as adolescents and children, as a
practical matter you have eliminated
child labor"
AS practical matter, the bosses,
he thinks under the wage code that
President Roosevelt will be handed for
approval, will find it cheaper to hire
and exploit adult workers than child
laborers. This is the most ''signif1c-
ant development" that this expert
enced exploiter of labor can find in
the proposed textile wage code.
