from this speed-up.
On August II, a worker was Grip

hand. For the last three months. this
mill was working day and night. On
August IA, notice was given of the
40-hour week, to be paid for 4S

they are paid for "A hours only and

many of us will be out of a Job for
many months. Stocks are prepared
for many months.
The only way out for the Forst-

I hope that other readers of the
Daily Worker will write you theirs.
Happy Days
There is still another thing that
I would like to ask you, Mrs. Roose-
welt. When I picked up copy Of
Liberty Magazine In the park the
other day, noticed that your daugh-
ter has a page in it that she calls
Happy Days" and it states that it
takes only four minutes and fifty
three seconds to read it. Since I'm
still having my inexpensive" vaca-
ton I have had time to read it sew
eral times. Your daughter, Mrs.
Roosevelt, tries to define success.
She says she doesn't see how any
one can be happy who hates the
thought of getting up in the morn
ing to go to work, or signs with re-
lief when the clock says that the
day at the office or shop is over"
How glad the millions of us would
be if only we had the opportunity OF
having a shop or an Office to go to
in the morning!
After her definition Of success, your
daughter shows her versatility by
giving a recipe for salmon loaf, then
lists the following things which every
boy and girl should be able to do:
swimming, boating, shooting, first
aid, building fires driving a car in
the back yard, simple mechanics,
cooking, sewing. typewriting and ira
Yelling alone She says that if our
children can do these things. with
the exception of typewriting, life on
desert island will not frighten
them. OF course. life on desert
island is just what we must prepare
our children for in this amazing,
changing world!
But the main point is-that the
kids of America, save those of the
owning minority, don't have the OPP
portunities to do the things anyway.
Circumstances make it impossible for
them to swim under a street shower
and how are they going to get hold
of a car to learn to drive it-and in
what back yard? AS for travelling
alone, and being able to read time
tables, we didn't know the BMT.

(By a Worker Correspondent)

LITTLE ROCK, Ark-After 13
years, the A. F. of L., under the
impetus of the Mira campaign, has
begun an organizational drive
among the various crafts, trades,
and clerical workers in Greater
Little Rock and next largest cities
in Arkansas.
Seeking to organize the needle
workers, the United Garment Work
ers of America, affiliated to the A..
F. of L. were given information by
these workers of conditions af-
tected by the application of the
codes, which verify the charge that
the MIRA is a slavery act. This
contradicts the A, F. of L. claims of
victory for organized labor.
Of the Is or more pay envelopes
submitted at the meeting none ex-
ceeded the minimum, or even
reached the $12 week, and most
of these workers were among the
skilled. They told how old, ex-
perlenced workers were let out,
while "a new girls were taken on
for six weeks "for qualification. -
The code does not apply to appren-
tees, and so the Southern bosses
will hire learners" and fire them
at the end of the period.
Employees of Beal-Burrow, max
ers of mems Garments, said the
bundle boys had been recently dis
missed, thus putting extra work on
the girls. The manager also cir
culated petition ASKING workers
to pledge not to ask for increased
pay for the next six week period.
This is an attempt to stifle by in
tlmidation any movement to demand
increased wages due them.

are working on 5 or hour shift,
which means $40 a week.
The National Textile Workers
Union has succeeded in organizing
workers from different departments.
The bosses are carrying on terror
with the cooperation of the police.
In the last week, eight workers were
arrested for distribution of leaflets.
In spite Of this, many workers re-
sponded to the call for mass meet
ing, where also gang of the bosses
hung around outside the hall trying
to scare the workers. But the work.
ers answer was that they will bring
more and more workers to the next
meeting. They understand that the
only way out is by organizing the
workers in their shop. Many have
signed up with the National Textile
Workers Union.
