If South opens a heart, East is
beaten before he starts. South, how
ever, obediently opened the four Of
clubs in response to his partners bid.
East won the trick by trumping it in
dummy; laid down the ace of spades,
on which he discarded a small club;
entered his own hand by rufing a
spade, and trumped another club in
dummy. A third spade was played
back. North discarded a club, so did
East. South won the trick with the
jack of spades and played back the
king of clubs, which East trumped.
The diamond suit was now attacked.
East played the 10 of diamonds
through. South refused to cover and
North won with the jack. He returned
his last club and East trumped again.

The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1934-07-05

THE MIRA. has just issued a pre-
liminary report of its investiga-
ton" of wages in the cotton textile
industry which makes it clear that
in the settlement" of the threat
ened cotton textile strike, the 100000
cotton textile workers have not won
any of their demands. The report,
dated June 20, recommends that no
increase in wages be granted to the
cotton textile workers.
1t will be remembered that the
100000 cotton textile workers wanted
to strike for higher wages, union
recognition and batter working con-
ditions. The leaders of the United
Textile Workers Union the first
week of June signed a pact with
johnson and with George Sloan,
representing the employers, calling
off the strike, the date of which had
already been set for June 4. The
terms of this agreement accepted
the % per cent 80 day curtailment
in production hours which the
MIRA. had ordered on May % and
which meant a Is per cent pay cut
for the cotton textile workers.

ton textile workers, does not say
single word about the profits of
the companies.
In 1888, statistics show, the cot
ton textile corporations made much
higher profits, under the MIRA,
than they had made in 1882. But
these statistics, showing increased
profits for 1888 under the NR.A.,
do not suit the purpose of the en-
ployers, and are not given in the
N.R.A. report.
CEVEN mills in the Greensville,
y S. C. area paid dividends total
ling S250,000, in April 1884. The Orr
mills of Anderson paid $4,000 divi-
dends for the year. In 1888, after
heavy deductions for depreciation,
taxes, interest and other charges,
the Amoskeag Co., made net profit
of S31, 444; the Graniteville Mfg. Co.
at Granitesville, S. c., made $l67, 900

These are but few of the mills
