Law Bans Negroes
In From Job on
Textile Machinery
BY a Worker Correspondent

COLUMBIA, S. c. - There are
many large textile plants in this
territory, and the Negro workers are
not allowed to work in the textile
plants at the machines. There is
a state law that won't allow the
Negroes to work at textile machin-
cry. The white workers in the tex
tile mills are in company controlled
unions like the A. F. of L. The
mills have company police forces
and company mayors.
The Negro and white workers are
hungry for bread and jobs The
preachers are telling them the same
old thing they have said for 300
or 400 years-to take their troubles
to Jesus and leave them there-and
to starve. Tie Negroes are begin
ming to break away from this.
I think the time is very ripe for
us Negro and white workers to get
among the other workers and give
them the necessary things they
should have, and to build a local
leadership for our movement. We
must build the leadership in the

Domestic Workers In the Soviet

Union
Replying to Comrade House
worker of San Francisco, who in
CURED concerning the attitude of
the Communist Party toward these
workers, and what conditions they
have in Communist countries. we
promised to say something about
the latter question today.
Communism aims to utilize ma
chinery to the fullest extent to Gre
ate plenty of the necessaries of life
for everyone everyone willing to
work, that Isl and at the same
time to do away with unnecessary
labor.
To this end there is social plan
ming" not only in the administra-
ton Of factories, farms, mines, etc.,
but also in the building of workers
homes, clubs, factories, and SO on,
these being built in such a way as
to reduce the labor of housekeeping
to minimum.
For example, Getty heat''-steam
piped underground into the work
ers' homes from a central heating
plant, does away with tending fur
naceS in each home, at the same
time saving valuable natural re-
sources-coal, oil, wood, etc.
Community kitchens, dining
rooms, etc, do away largely with
cooking, dishwashing, marketing,
by each family, again saving time,
labor, fuel.
There are community laumdrieS,
which do away with washing and
ironing at home. So, since there
(. are nurseries where children may
be left while the mother is busy
or at work, there's not much house
work left except that of cleaning
the house itself-washing windows,
cleaning floors, etc.
These tasks too may later be
done as they are done here in
large hotels - by workers going
through the house with vacuum
cleaners, washing imple-
ments, etc.
Those who work at any of
these tasks - in the community
kitchens, laundrieS, dining-rooms,
heating plants etc. have regular
jobs with good living wages, a
seven-hour day and their unions,
like any other workers.
Since there are plenty of jobs
for all, naturally many house
maids take these other jobs: this
creates shortage of housemaids,
50 those who still do homework
wages. Girls who in capitalist
countries would be forced to do
homework, have under a social
istic system, access to good jobs
with short hours and good wages,
giving them time and money for
study or recreation in the eve
nings.
For these reasons, and also be-
cause the wealthy classes of old
Russia have been dispossessed of
their lands and factories by the
workers, who now own these things
collectively, the "housemaids' ex-
changes" in the Soviet Union are
disappearing.
In the pamphlet, 1.-THE Working
Woman in the Soviet Union" by
Sibiriak, you can read about this,
as well as about what the ex-houSe-
maids are doing now. You might

PARTY LIFE
Consolidate Party Forces
For Railroad Concentration
One Day of Unified York by Four Chicago Units
Results in Valuable Contacts to Party

the Daily and the visiting of as
signments to report on success,
and plan permanent work based
on results of our first approach
to these railroad workers.
The Steering Committee mem
bers took their assignments seri-
ously and the first steps in this
concentration plan were immedi-
ately carried, out. Two hundred
copies of the railroad edition of
the Daily" were given out at the
yards and the men received them
very favorably. Although, as one
Comrade reported, he expected to
see the Daily Workers thrown out
on the sidewalk, not one copy was
destroyed. This was when the men
were coming out from work in the
afternoon, after the men going in
had already taken 125 copies of
the paper into the shop. Only
one worker refused to take the
Daily"
The reports from visits to the
list Of railroad men was not so
complete a success because only
four of the Comrades had been
able to visit their contacts as the
time this article was prepared. Two
men had moved away. One was
at home but could not be seen.
Three were seen and were very
sympathetic to the movement. One
took out a Saturday sub to the
Daily" The others took the paper
to read and asked the Comrades
to come back. One of the men
was the Secretary of his Lodge.
Joint Unit Meeting
The joint unit meeting was at
tended by about IS comrades. The
report of the steering committee
was read and accepted. The Units
voted unanimously to continue the
work, placing a permanent bundle
order for 100 Daily Workers for
every Friday, the day when rail-
road correspondence is supposed to
appear. The comrades who had
done the distribution and visiting
agreed to continue the work. A
representative from the Section
suggested that we conduct a Study
Circle on railroad questions so that
the Units would become more fami-
liar with our tasks in building op-
positions in the railroad unions, or
ganizing the workers and helping
them fight against wage cuts. The
steering committee was enlarged
and instructed to act for the Units
on railroad concentration.
The joint meeting was held tn
one of the language clubs to which
many members of the Units be-
long. Eight new railroad contacts
sympathetic to our movement were
added to our contact list by mem
bers of this Club, who already knew
these railroad workers. The COM
rades now felt that they had some
definite reason for approaching
these workers and through them
hoped to bring others closer to the
movement. 1t will soon be possible
to call these sympathetic railroad
members of the club together and
get their active help in building a
group to carry out our policies in
the shops and yards of this road.

the rails and sat down on the
tracks to stop shipments.
Here in Concord two mills are
organized in the A. F. of L. The
workers are being misled by the
A. F. of L. You don't find the same
faces as those who sold out the
workers here and in Charlotte in
1920-21; they are sending different
people this time.
In Concord we have two locals of
the N. T. W. U, besides contacts in
many other mills. These locals are
carrying on everyday work through
leaflets and personal contact and
have won some concessions for the
workers. In the Locke mill a short
time ago a leaf1et won every de-
mand.
The T. U. U. L. and the N. T. w.
U. should send someone touring the
south to hold mass meetings and
acquaint the workers with the T. U.
U. L. and the textile union. I and
other workers can go out and hold
meetings with workers; but our
leaders can through mass meetings,
explain the program to hundreds
and thousands at one time.
If We can build a good strong or
ganization here, we will be able to
make break all through the south,
l think. This will have to be done
through careful work, through the
help of the T. U. U. L. and the ma
tional Office of the N. T. w. U.
We want to establish at least three
new locals in the next three months.
This is just the beginning, and
good basis is being laid.
One of our weapons is the maya
zine, Labor Unity. We are to take
100 a month, and we feel the Labor
Unity will be one of our strongest
organizers in the South.
In the textile industry, where
thousands are employed, there are
only few Negro workers. We find
that throughout the South all Negro
workers are ignored in the codes:
that the codes are drawn up SO that
they do not apply to their jobs.
The Negro textile workers are
cleaners and are in the dye houses.
and these are not in the code. The
cleaners get 2212c an hour, where
the minimum by the code is soc. Also
the code sets the work day at 8
hours, but there is no limit for the
dye house workers and the cleaners.
the N. T. w. u. in Concord has
made it one Of the major questions
to draw in Negro workers in each
local.

CONCORD, N. C.-The grievan-
ces among the textile workers in
the South are many, but the
stretch-out comes first. This is
most severe since the introduction
of the N. R. A. code.
Wages in the mills are being
continually slashed through the
way the bosses work through the
code. The code calls for $12. The
weavers formerly got $500; now
they are forced down to the Sl2
minimum. We are also suffering
additional wage cuts through higher
prices Of groceries.
We have one OF the largest chains
through the South-Cannon, the
towel mills, king of cotton in the
south. This chain has IA plants,
and none of them are very small.
Cannon involves thousands and
thousands of southern textile work
ers. Their main plant at Kama
polls is one Of the largest mills in
the world. This town is owned and
controlled by the Cannon chain
and it is one of the largest unin-
corporated towns in the U. S. The
company has its own police. There
is no mayor. The company does as
it pleases.
In the Kannapolis mill the Cam
mons try out any new scheme be-
fore it is introduced elsewhere.
Kannapolis is a few miles from
here, and there are S Cannon
mills right here in Concord.
The mill owners are seeing the
growing discomfort of the workers
and are openly inviting the A. F..
of L. and the U. T. w. into these
places. We have reports, especially
from Castor County, where even
the superintendent of the mills
make speeches at A. F. of L. meet
ings and urge the workers to Join
the U. T. w. This shows to the
workers that the A. F. of L. plays
the role Of the bosses and try to get
the workers, so as to smash the
growing struggles.
When the workers at the Cleve-
land Cloth Mill in Shelby were on
strike a few weeks ago the U. T.
w. paralyzed the workers by telling
them to stay off the picket lines
and to have prayer meeting with
the scabs. In a Southern mill in
Spindale the textile workers showed
a militant spirit and they appealed
to the railroad workers not to carry
out goods from the mills. The
workers wives and children got on

COnspires With Boss in
Attempt to Fire
Chairlady
By a Needle Trades Worker
Correspondent

NEW YORK. - The Lish shop,
which is one of the outstanding
slavery shops in the millinery in
dustry, gets the support of the
union officials in eliminating those
militant workers who are fighting
in the shop to improve conditions.
Wednesday, April II, the work
ers Of the Lish shop called a meet
ing to discuss how to fight for equal
distribution of work in the shop.
When the workers came to the of
flee Of the union and asked the Of
ficials for a meeting room, the Of
flcials first refused, but then were
forced to give them a room. When
the meeting started, Mr.. Spector,
manager of the union, came in and
said to the workers, II am not 60
ing to listen to what you have to
take up here, but I am going to say
something. Mr.. Lish (the boss of
the shop told me that he will not
give the workers the conditions as
signed in the collective agreement,
unless the chairlady, who is a Com
munist, will be removed and num-
Der of other militant workers will
be cleaned out of the shop" If we
will give in to this demand Of the
boss, Spector said, the boss promises
to give the workers better condi-
lions.
The workers at the shop meeting
told Spector that they don't care
what political views the chairlady
has, that she has proven to be a
good fighter in the shop, and that
since she is chairlady she has sue
ceeded in improving the conditions
of the workers. They also under
stood that it was manuever of the
boss and the union officials to re-
move the militant workers from the
shop, so that the boss can have
free hand in forcing slavery con-
ditions on the workers. Mr.. Spector
then told the workers that "If ]
will find it necessary I will appoint
another chairlady and you girls will
not have anything to say about it
1t was done before and it will be
done now"
Alex Rose, General Secretary OF
the Union, began to insult the
Chairlady, by calling her a dirty
piece of humanity, and also told the
workers that they are following the
Chairlady like bunch of blind
sheep. To this the workers an
swered that they see with their own
eyes what the cllairlady is doing
and they are confident that she is
right because she is fighting for the
interests of the workers in the shop

Russia Today, and I love to read
about the success in political
achievements in that land of love,
work and justice.
I have a large acquaintanceship
and few friends, who are all hide
bound conservatives. We are all
well-preserved and some are quite
successful in robbing others, but a
few are getting shaky about the
causes of the shrinkage of their in
comes, and I'm working on them
little by little. They haven't yet
arrived at the point of dignity where
they read the Daily Worker.
Some of my Sunday schoolmates,
a class of men, in which everyone
is over 40, get quite angry with me.
But they elect me their secretary
every year just the same. I have
served ten years as secretary in an
organized elias of go men, but I'm
coming at them so strong now, I
think this will be my last.

PASSAIC. N. 1.-THE National
Textile workers Union has won two
important victories at the United
Piece Dye Works Plant of Lodi,
the largest dye house in the world,
which now employs over 5000 work
ers. The N.T.W.Ua through con-
centrated work, defeated the at
tempts of the A. F. of L. misleaders
Of the United Textile Union, backed
by the bosses and the police, to dis
rupt the struggle of the Lodi work
ers and then won important de-
mands from the company, includ-
ing recognition Of the workers
grievance committee.
For some weeks past the leaders
of the U.TW. "a. F. of L. have
been maneuvering in the Lodi plant
to discredit the work Of the N. T.
W. U. It was the N.T.WU. which
pulled this plant out on strike in
the national silk strike and which
conducted mass picketing daily at
the plant during the strike.
The UT.W. leaders called a mass
meeting of the Lodi workers, for
which they distributed thousands Of
leaflets. Our union Immediately is
sued leaflet warning the workers
against the A. F. of L. misleaders,
and calling them to a meeting of
the NTW.U.
The A. F. of L. meeting was called
for Saturday, April Z, at l pm.
Among the six speakers was Mr..
Yanarelli from Paterson whom the
workers know as a niSleader dur
ing the last strike. When the meet
ing started, members of the N. T.
w. U. got up and exposed the A. F.
of L, leadership. Comrade Saller,
organizer Of the NT.WU., spoke for
half an hour. proving to the workers
by facts that the A. F. of L. mis-
leaders were just trying to dis
rupt the work of the N.T.W.U.
When he asked the workers, who
was with you every morning on the
picket line during the silk strike,
these gentlemen on the platform or
the leaders Of the N.T.WU.?" great
cheers went up for the N.TW.U.
and booing for the A. F. of L. lead
ers. The workers then got up with
Oomrade Saller and left the hall,
leaving the A. F. of L. misleaders to
speak to empty benches and to their
bodyguard.
The workers then marched In a
body to the N,TW.U. meeting. A
committee was then elected TO see
the United Piece Dye bosses. The
following demands were formu-
