Thousands Demand Relief
A.F.L. Leaders Act to
Bar Mass Picketing
In Front of Mills

CHARLOTTE, N. c., Sept. I'll
The cap-in-hand attitude and class
collaboration policies of R. R. Law
renee, John Peel, George Grooge
and Howard Payne, Southern A. F.
Of L. leaders, are seriously threat
ening the great textile strike in the
strategic South.
While the workers in the local
unions are putting up the most
heroic fight that working men and
women have participated in in
these regions, the top unions leaders
are doing everything in their power
to eliminate the flying squad activi-
ties which were so successful in
closing scores of mills. They have
even attempted to stop the mass
picketing in front of the bayonet-
bordered mills.
Leaders Delay Relief Plans
For two weeks these leaders have
promised that they would see to
it that relief organization is set
up and all strikers needing relief
would get it. But the solemn prom
ises have turned out to be false.
No relief is Forthcoming. The
only relief that the strikers get
they collect themselves from neigh
bors and friends. Some of the work
ers who have been facing National
Guards daily on the picket lines
have not eaten for three days.
Due to this situation defections
have set in along certain sections
of the strike front. 1t is estimated
that 5000 workers have returned to
work in the South. driven back by
hunger and the refusal of the top
U.T.W. leaders to adopt militant
program.
But while the strike has suf-
fered some recesSions in Burling-
ton, n. c., and in some sections
of South Carolina and Georgia,
CASTOR County, the hub of mill
tant mass action, remains solid
and strong for the strike, as does
Cherokee County, ). c., where
the workers have set up their own
relief apparatus.

RELIEF FIGHTS SPREAD IN SOUTH
Governor Ely Calls Out
More Troops to
Guard Scabs
By Carl Reeve
DAILY Worker STAFF Correspondent


BOSTON, Mass, Sept. 21-A sell
out by the U. T. w. leadership was
in the air in the New England strike
area today, as U. T. w. organizers
praised the arbitration program of
Roosevelt, which robs the strikers
of their demands, as a great vic
tory"
U. T. w. Organizer Batty, in a
speech in New Bedford today, de-
clared that the mediation boards
proposals take power from John
son and Sloan and put it in the
hands of a neutral board. 1t is a
real victory"
The reaction of the rank and file
textile strikers was otherwise, and
remarks were heard in the crowd
of strikers as Batty spoke: "They
have started their dirty work" and
THE sell-out has begun"
There was almost no applause at
Batty's speech and no applause dur
ing the course of it. Batty did not
say a word about the fact that
the Sell-out proposals, endorsed by
Roosevelt, drive the strikers back
to work without granting any of
their demands; that the sell-out
proposals are the old chestnut of
investigation, reports and arbitra-
ton, which the textile workers have
been fed for two years, while work
ing under low N. r. A. wages, ter
rifle speed-up, and long hours.
Ignores Wage Demands
Batty had the nerve to state that
the Investigation" of the stretch
out, with not even a report until
February 1895, is real victory"
He predicted that the board will
deal with the stretch-out in an eff
fective and constructive manner"
He did not mention wage or hours
demands.
Battys position is typical of the
entire U. T. w. leadership in New
England.
The newspapers here predict that
the textile council of the U. IT. w.
will order the strike ended to-
morrow.
Refuse to Call Meetings
The U. T. w. leaders continue
to refuse to call union meetings.
In New Bedford, for example, even
the daily strikers mass meetings
have been cut down from daily
meetings to meetings of one or two
a week. The strikers who at first
came to the meeting places every
day stopped coming when they saw
that not even mass meetings we're
being called.
In New Bedford an open mem
bership meeting of the Communist
Party was held Wednesday night
and eight strikers joined the Party.
One thousand copies of the Daily
Worker are distributed in New Bed
ford every day.
Ely Calls Out Troops
In Massachusetts, the threat of
Governor Ely to call out troops to
protect scabs was made good when
for the first time in the strike a
company was called out at midnight
last night to guard strike breakers
at the Hampton Mill in Northamp-
ton, Mas. Although the sheriff
called these troops out to protect
Ely's name, the request and sending
of troops was admittedly based on

Are Ignored

workers to end their strike
and go back to the looms.
The Roosevelt report
praises the industry" that
is to say, the employers-and
ignores the three definite de-
mands of the strikers.
Sealed with RooseveIt's loud
approval, it offers the hun
CRY, overworked, exploited
textile workers exactly moth
ing but the promise of fur
ither Study" and a strike
breaking command to go
1 back.
But meanwhile, the workers
are to surrender to the bosses
just when their strike is
strongest!
Sloan, the textile employ
ers' spokesman, appreciates
what the Roosevelt Board is
doing for the bosses, when he
says:
"a hurried examination
indicates that the report
recognizes the far-reaching
improvements for employ
ees effected by this indus
try under the cotton tex
tile code and the economic
difficulties with which this
industry has been con-
fronted in recent months.
'It would also appear
that the board makes no
attempt to pass upon the
demands of the strike COM
mittee for changes in hours
and wages but has recon-
mended that further studies
on these subjects be made
by governmental agencies"
That is exactly right. The
Board praises the indus
try" and ignores the de-
mands of the striking work
ers.
NORMAN is hedging on the
" report. He is waiting to
see what the workers thing
of it. But all the time he is
trying to see how he can ac-
cept the Governments strike
break in g "arbitratio n"
through some face-saving de-
vice.
The strike must not be end
ed this wayl The strike
should be ended only when
the workers get a guarantee
that their three definite de-
mands will be granted before
they return to work!
Second, the striking work
ers cannot place any reliance
in the long-drawn negotia-
tons and maneuverings of
German and the Roosevelt
experts The control of the
strike and of all decisions
must be placed Immediately
in the hands of the workers
who are on the picket lines,
those who are fighting the
employers in the front lines.
The thing to do now is to
change the present picket
committees to Strike Com
mittees, to take full charge
of all decisions. All decisions
to be ratified finally by a
democratic vote of the strik-
ers themselves-and no one
else! No decisions from
above, forced down the strik-
ers' threats, but real author
ity to rest in the Strike Com
mittees elected on the picket
lines.
And third, the trik e
should now be strengthened
by new efforts to win the sup
port of other trades, in SYM
pathetic strikes, in solidarity
meetings, in mass marches
and flying squadrons. The
