FAIRY LAUNDRY
JOINS STRIKE
Mass Pickets K eep
Shops Closed

NEW YORK. - Another laundry
joined the strike of the Bronx laun-
cry workers when IA girls of the
Fairy Laundry Co., 1904 Inwood Ave
nue., walked out yesterday, following
agitation by the strikers and the
Laundry Workers Industrial Union.
Mass picketing kept the laundry
shops closed this week in the strike
Of the 400 Negro and white laundry
workers for shorter hours, wage in
creases, and the right of Negro work
ers to all jobs. Mass picketing is
arranged for tomorrow morning at
all shops.
In its letter to be sent, as reported
yesterday, to the individual laundry
shops the strike committee points
out that the Laundry Owners Asso-
citation is dominated by laundry own
ers whose shops are not on strike and
is blocking any general settlement,
and that for this reason the union is
making settlements with individual
shops.
MASS TICkSblHE
Mass picketing prevented the open
ing of the IA laundry shops this week
where strikes are now on. Mass pick
citing is arranged for tomorrow morn
ing at all laundries on strike.
The strike committee also repeats
its appeal for financial aid for the

Kirriemuir, Forfarshire, Scotland.
Dear Comrade:
We arrived at our destination yes
terday morning at $50, after very
cold, foggy journey. The only time
the sun shone was when we were
coming up the Clyde, I developed a
cold the last day, but in all we had
a good journey. Every time we came
near port or had to anchor, George
and the rest of the deportees were
put under guard. They raised a pro-
test, but couldn't do much. George
raised hell twice in the hold, once
when after having been tied up in
Boston for three hours he had just
got out of the hold, when the boat
struck a sandbank and we had to
anchor for six hours. After a few
hours they raised hell, but the buck
was passed from the chief steward
to the purser. The same happened
at Belfast and Glasgow, while they
were waiting to get off The men
weren't given their landing cards till
time to so down the gangplank
They had to protest to get up to
dinner when the bell rang, if we were
In port.
We found lots of sympathy among
the men on board. Dozens of sail
ors, stewards, ETC., are Just waiting
for organization. Whenever. George
was talking to one the rest would
gravitate around and keep their
eyes peeled for their officers. And
conditions are terrible. Here is the
condition of the stewards: Wages
$40 month, 81 days, II hours a
day. They sleep about four hours
out of "a, and then are at the beck
and call of the passengers. That

boat we were on docked here Monday
night at $50. They would work till
about 9 pm, unloading, getting rooms
dismantled, etc. Tuesday they had
to stay there and report for pay.
Then Wednesday and Thursday they
had to report for duty to get the boat
ready to sail. Friday night they are
supposed to depend on tips, but
don't make much that way now
They have 10 pay IL cents each for
washing each piece of clothing and
are told when to buy uniforms which

Well, comrade, all those articles
that were printed in the Omaha
papers about Georges people not
wanting him to return because of his
being Communist we're all lies, and
had been twisted by the Welfare here
and in the States to keep George
from coming to this place. We got
a wonderful welcome from all. We
haven't got in touch with the Party
yet, but will as soon as we get our
bearings.

CROLL EXPOSES
LOOPHOLES PUT
in COTTON CODE
Bosses Will Use 1t To
Lower Living of
Workers

WASHINGTON, July BIN her
attack on the textile code on be-
half of the National Textile Work
ers Union, June Croll, an official
of the union worried General john
son by her exposure of all the loop
holes in the cotton slavery program.
Among other things, Croll, pointed
out:
THE proposed code is a direct
attack on the workers. 1t fixes
minimum wage much lower than
the average wages now prevailing
in the industry Notwithstanding the
fact that the wages today are much
lower than they were before the
economic crisis set in. In practice,
the bosses will depress wages for
all workers down to this minimum
Prices Going Up.
1T does not provide for a per-
iodic adjustment of wages to meet
the constantly rising prices due to
the development of initiation. Under
this code, while prices would con-
tue to rise, wages would remain
stationary undergoing a constant
lowering.
1.-The code leaves many loopholes
such as not taking up the outside
workers, apprentices, etc, and under
which the bosses will lower wages,
thus in practice wiping out even
the miserable standards set, and
especially discriminating against the
Negro workers in the South.
1.-THE code proposes a 40-hour
week, but it does not guarantee 40
hours of employment per week, nor
does 1t provide for any number Of
weeks per year. This in reality
negates any fixed minimum wage
aside from the other considerations
already mentioned. Wages for work.
ers now receiving above the mini
mum are not to be adjusted up
wards so that they shall receive the
same wages for the 40-hour week
that they now receive for the longer
week.
Introduce Speed Up.
Already we see that employers
are introducing new speed-up meth
DDS :. thereby laying the basis for
unemployment instead of more jobs.
The code does not prohibit night
work for women, or child labor,
nor does it provide shorter hours
for youth labor.
ut does not provide against CON-
pany unions or the forcing of work.
erS into unions controlled by cor
rupt officials, with the aid of the
bosses, as is the case in many in
stances where the bosses collect the
dues for the labor leaders who make
agreements over the heads of the
workers.
"It does not provide for the right
to strike but, on the contrary
calls for system Of compulsory
arbitration which would force
slavery conditions on the workers
with the backing of the whole ma
chinery of government"

Vocational Agriculture Has Big
Appeal For Henderson County Boys

comes from federal and state
sources, while the other three.
Fights is provides from county
funds.
Shortly after the act was pass
ed, Henderson county began
work in two of the rural schools
but the trend of living in those
days lead along lines far differ.
ent from prossaic farm life and
farm work, and-probably in
common with most of the other
sections-no great interest was
enlisted among the students. At
ter two years the work was dis
continued.
When the summer of 1928
came around, the attention of
the entire country had become
focused on the plight of the
farmers. Realization had come
that conditions must be changed,
and that only through education
of the young men and boys
could any permanent improve
ment bemade. With starting of
the school year in the fall of
1928, vocational agriculture was
made a definite course offered
to the rural students, which they
might elect to begin with their
eighth grade, and continue
through the four years to gradu-
alton. Not all the county schools
had developed an interest suffi-
cient to support this course, but
at the Mills River high school
there was established a strong
class of boys-eager and enthu-
siastic, who, under the teaching
of C. D. White, entered upon a
four year term of definite, we'll
planned study for life of sue
cessful farming.
A few days ago, the sixth year
of this work was begun in this
county, not only at Mills River,
in the original centre, but now

definite part of the county
school system, under the super
