PARTY LIFE
Lack of Confidence flinders
York Of Party in Laurence
Textile Workers There Do Not Trust y. T. ~.
Leaders = Communists Strive for Unity

The following letter was received
from a worker upon returning from
trip to Lawrence, Mass.
II just came back from a visit
to Lawrence, Mass, and I would
like to give you my impressions of
the situation there. AS I drove into
town Wednesday through the main
street, Essex St., I noticed the I'M
usual numbers of people parading
up and down the street. On in
quiring I was informed that most of
the mills were closed for some time
and it was expected they would con-
tinue to be closed.
Il was impressed by the detected
appearance of most of those saw.
In fact, was quite shocked at the
change from the time left Law
renee in 1920 and now. This feel
ing I also found among some of my
friends and even among the active
comrades. There is much misery in
Lawrence, due to unemployment and
low wages.
Il was interested to find out how
the Lawrence workers felt towards
the strike, and therefore asked
many. What were the possibilities
Of Lawrence joining the strike? AL
most the same reply everywhere, not
much. Main reason given was THE
Lawrence workers fought for many
years and fought alone. Let's see
what they can do without Law
renee" But there were other rea-
sons given which are quite as i'm
portant. These are 1-Distrust of
the national leadership of the
strike, the U. T. w; 2-Lack of or
ganization; 3-No local leadership;
4-Fear of hunger; 5-Memories of
defeat in 1881. These in the main
are the reasons why Lawrence is
out of the picture in this great
strike.
However, there is current in
Lawrence much sympathy for the
strikers which could be utilized for
support of the strike. This was
evident at the mass meeting on the
Lawrence Common, Wed, Sept. IL,
at which Giovannetd spoke.
Lawrence should have received
more attention from the N. T. w.
U. Locally the comrades, while loyal,
and doing the best they can, are
not able to give adequate leader
ship. Struggles for unemployed re-
lief and insurance can be made 10
mobilize the workers in the mill for
action to better their conditions.
There should be serious efforts
made to contact some of those ele-
ments who are passive now but can
and will help if approached properly.

NEW YORK-The entire force of
the Mundet Cork Co. struck on Aug.
% to force the company to fulfill the
agreement made between their union
Omitted Cork Workers Union No.
1870, A. F. of L. and the COM
pany, The history of the strike is
as follows
In November 1888 the shop went
on strike demanding a 10 per cent
wage rise. The company claimed
that the business is not sufficient
to grant a raise at that time and
promised to raise wages the fol-
lowing spring. At the end of March
1884, the shop committee asked that
the promise be fulfilled, as the vol
ume of business has shown consid-
cradle improvement. The company
refused to grant this just demand
and the membership of the union
decided on strike, to gain 10 per
cent wage raise increase and union
recognition. The firm claimed that
it did not make profit enough to
give a general raise, but they were
willing to give partial raise to de-
serving workers ito be selected by
themselves" of course. This was
turned down by the union as an
effort to split the ranks of the
workers.
Then at Mahoney's, A. F. of l..
official, suggestion IN. R. A" ar
bitration was accepted, VIII / c h
proved a grave mistake. The re-
suit of the arbitration was an agree
ment between the union and the
firm. According to this agreement
the union called the strike off and
the firm agreed to cooperate with
the accountant appointed by the
union to check up on the truth
fulness of the firms contention of
not making profit. If the Joint
check up would show enough profit
the firm agreed to grant 10 per cent
raise; if not, the union would not
demand any raise. Believing in the
firms h on est intentions, this
seemed fair to the union member
ship. The union recognition was
gained; which did not mean much
as on account of the militancy and
solidarity of the union membership
the shop actually was closed shop
even before this strike. The check
up was to be made promptly after
the strike, but the accountants eff
forts to have the company cooper
ate with him were fruitless. The
company kept stalling week after
week and month after month. APP

peal to the N. R. A. proved to be
useless.
The N. R. A. handled the firm
with gentle kid gloved hands.
Finally the firm turned over a sheet
of paper to the unions accountant
half filled with figures. According
to this statement the accountant
finds that the company is making
approximately IS per cent profit.
The shop committee contacted the
management and demanded that
the agreement be fulfilled. The
management asked three days to
think the matter over and the union,
convinced of the company's insin-
certify, declared holiday until the
agreement was fulfilled.
On Thursday, Sept. IS, there was
an N. R. A. arbitration hearing and
the following New Deal Model 1884
was proposed by the company's
representatives: 1.-Open shop; 2.
10 per cent raise after six months
from now IF the company makes
enough profit; 3.-Will take back
only so men selected by themselves
Of course; 4.-Bonus system (speed
up and some more lesser New Deals
in similar veins. Needless to say
that this new deal was promptly
turned down by the membership.
In order to split the workers
ranks, the company circularized the
workers. Their circular contained
some lies which speak for them
selves. We note the following: "It
is our belief, that there are people
employed in our plant who have
constantly agitated our employees
who are in the employ of our COM
petitors for the purpose of break
ing up the company's business" lin
number of instances we have found
foreign material in our products
that could be put there only by
some one in our employ for the fur
ther purpose of making it impos-
sible for us to continue business.
All these efforts of the company
to split the ranks back-fired and
made the union stronger in fighting
spirit than ever.
In the meantime the strike is
conducted militantly. The closeup
is complete. Several attempts of
the firm to ship goods to the plant
or out of it were promptly stopped
by strikers. The understanding and
cooperation between the rank and
file and the executive board is per-
feet, especially since new execu-
tive board was elected. The new
executive board is conscientious,
efficient and honest,

Demanding
DroughtAid
By a Farmer Correspondent

JOplAll, NAO'
A farmers delegation called on
Governor Park at Jefferson City on
Sept. IA and presented demands for
drought relief.
When Park was handed state
ment with the demands he asked
what lawyer or attorney had pre-
pared it! He was told that COM
mittee of farmers belonging to the
United Farmers League were the
makers of it, that bourgeois law
yer could not write a document like
that.
The Governor evaded every one
of the demands, passing the buck
to the state legislature and the
state relief bureau. We were asked
questions about how much land we
farmed and how much taxes we
paid, where we lived, etc.
This, of course, was just brought
in to sidetrack our demands. How
ever, he was told fatty that we
came to get relief from the state,

poor people anyhow, not the rich.
He admitted the rich were per-
mitted to evade taxation, that con-
ditions were bad, etc.
AS we Insisted that something
must be done for the drought
stricken and poor farmers at once
he said he had another appoint
ment. that we better go to the
state relief bureau.
The Relief Administrator fol
Missouri, Mr.. Crosley was also apt
in evading the demands. He die
say, however, that he was for the
Workers Unemployment and Socia,
Insurance Bill, but that nov
wasn't the time" He also salt
that relief was inadequate.
Both workers and farmers die
not mince words in stating wha
the actual conditions were and tina
real relief must be given now. HI

delegates from st. Louis said tina

COMMUNISTS BACKBONE
OF STRIKE

BY a Textile worker correspondent
PROVIDENCE, r. ]. Francis
German doesn't want anything to
do with the Communists, he is with
anybody who is against them, etc.
Why, the dirty migrate! Does he re-
alize for one minute that these
people above any other class are
the real backbone Of this any every
other strike! But these "deSpicable"
Communists are the only ones who
have the "guts" to fight. Does he
want to win the strike? If he does,
it will pay him to leave the Com
munists and the other "reds" alone.
Anything the textile workers have
gained has been due to the militant
efforts of these workers and not
of the U. T. w. leaders.
1t is too bad German and Mac
Mahon are not better known among
the workers of their union. If they
were they wouldn't be on the job
very long, you can bet on that. Just
a couple of loud speakers who use
radical phrases, (once in a while)
but wink at the bosses when they
say those things. Takers, that's all!

The workers are not allowed to

For this reason, doctors nova
days do few or no vaginal exami-

reSs Of labor is determined by rec
tai examination.
Therefore, one can readily under
stand why intercourse should be
denied. The sexual act can hardly
be carried out under conditions
which permit strict surgical cleanli-
ness.
Then again, the strain and ex-
citement associated with cohabita-
ton may cause the bag of waters
which develop the child to break,
bringing on premature labor.
Sometimes intercourse may even
cause a separation of the afterbirth
from the wall of the womb produc-
ing alarming hemorrhage in the
mother and possibly death Of the
infant.
In the intervening period between
the third and eighth month, indul-
gence is permitted, if it is agree
able to both husband and wife.
There are no set rules about a

Troops Stir
Violence At
Picket Lines
By a Textile Worker Correspondent

BY a Textile Worker Correspondent
BURLINGTON, N. q. - AS a
worker Of Burlington I am Civ
ing the latest details of the
strike situation in this section. The
strike was going along peacefully
until the governor sent three COM
panies Of National Guardsmen and
one machine gun company here to
hold peace between the strikers
and companies" There has been
no previous trouble in the least, I'M
til these troops were stationed here
Three truck loads of National
Guards attacked six picketS, of
which we're women. One woman
was taken to the hospital in criti-
cal condition after she had been
attacked with bayonetS. Several
other peaceful pickets were attack
ed in the same manner and men
and women were wounded and
driven away from the mill gates.
The pickets then reiterated to the
railroad which was close by, but
was forced away from there by the
big bosses" who with much laugh
ter ordered the troops to move the
damn rats on. Sept. 10th, eleven
textile workers were arrested by
troops. We were asking workers of
the Whitehead Hosiery mill to join
us in the strike. We were placed
under $2500O bond each. The charge
is "forcible tresspassing." The next
night someone threw dynamite and
broke several windows in the mill.
The Burlington scab papers say
reds did it."
The Guards that made the ar
rests were local boys, some of them
mere kids, who have brothers and
sisters out on strike, and doing
their part on the picket linies. Local
newspapers are being criticized, and
boycotted by workers due to the
fact that they never publish any
thing for the benefit of the strikers.
Many of the workers are beginning
newspapers are being criticized, and
to realize that the only paper that
prints the fact about this strike
controversy is the Daily Worker"
Durham, N. c., is out 100 per cent.
No troops have been stationed there
yet. They have had no trouble at
all. Direct reports show that where
there has been violence in the
south, it was always started by
troops, then the strikers get the
blame for starting a riot. Durham
is so we'll organized that there are
no scabs to go in the mills. All the
mills in Burlington are out, with
the exceptions of mills, which are
running one shift with skeleton
force.
