CHARGES TEXTILE
LABOR EXPLOITED
Union President Says Sys'
tenn Breaking Health of
Southern Workers.
BY the Associated Press.

GREENVILLE, S. c., April al
Charging overwork was breaking
Southern Cotton Mill workers phys
ically and mentally, Thomas F. Nc
Mahon, president of the United Tex
tile Workers Of America, said In an
address here today that labor wanted
an inquiry into exploitation of textile
employees.
"All we want is fair representation
on the committee or body hearing the
evidence we have to offer" said Nc
Mahon. I'VE do not have to 60 out
side South Carolina. We have a 10
inch sheaf of cases II this State"
The union leader spoke at meet
ing of TOO textile workers and brought
up his charges ii. referring to an ex-
change several weeks ago between
Francis j. German, vice president of
the union, and T. M. Marchant of
Greenville, who at the time was presi-
dent of the American Cotton Manu-
facturers Association.
Warns of Strike.
TeStifying at a hearing in Washing
ton on the Wagner labor disputes bill,
German said textile workers were be-
ing exploited and we're ready to strike.
Marchant denied Gorman's statement
and challenged him to prove it.
Our guns are loaded and we are
ready to answer the challenge" shout
ed Mcmahon. In choosing the COM
mittee before whom we shall appear
with the manufacturers to prove the
charges, we shall let Mr.. Marchant or
the others name their group, or we
shall allow Gen. Hugh johnson to
name them. We have the goods, no
matter where we present it."
Spying Charged.
A charge that manufacturers in this
State are informed of activities of
union members by an industrial spy
ring was made by l.. E. Brookshire of
Greenville, president of the State
Federation of Labor, in addressing the
gathering.
Brookshire advised his hearers to
watch their fellow workers who were
suspected of such a connection.
Telling his hearers their gains under
the N. r. A. textile code were not
enough. Brookshire said the value of
textile products from South Carolina
mills last year was Sl67 .000.0 900. as
compared with s33, 100000 in 1882.
Did you workers get your fair share
OF the increase?" he asked.
Brookshire said the code increased
the number of textile workers in this
State from 1000 to $1,000 and that
wages increased an aggregate Of
SO 900 900 in 1888.

CUSTER OF CURRY
LAID T0PRES|DENT
Assertion Is Attributed to
James J. Hines, Tam
many Leader.
Ey the Associated PresS

BY the Associated Press
NEW YORK, April 21.-The Daily
News says it was informed by close
friend" of James j. Hines, one of the
most powerful of the Tammany dis
trict leaders, that the dethronement
of John F. Curry as leader was or
dered more than year ago by the
then President-elect, Franklin D.
Roosevelt.
Curry yesterday accused Hines of
deserting him during the session
which resulted in the custer of the
chieftain. Hines cast his vote for
Curry, but otherwise did not use his
influence in Curry's favor.
The News says that the morning
after the presidential election in No
vember, 1882, the first person sum-
moned into Mr.. Roosevelt's presence
at his SiXty-flfth street house was
James J. Hines.

ruption tonight. with the battle on
for the leadership.
Watching developments from the
background was Postmaster General
James A. Farley, who although not
a member of Tammany, recently
called for a new deal" in the or
ganization.
Farley's Democratic forces, which
supported the independent candidacy
of Joseph V. Mckee in the mayoral
election last November. split the Tam
many vote and helped start the in
surgent movement that swept Curry
from power.
Support of President.
Tonight one of the wigwam's most
powerful leaders and a candidate to
take Curry's place as its chief, Ed
ward j. Ahearn. announced:
"Tammany Hall, whatever new re-
gime is formed. will enthusiastically
follow the policies ot President Roose-
velt and Gov. Herbert H. Lehman and
will strongly support Gov Lehman for
reelection"
Although not unexpected. Ahearn's
announcement was a complete reversal
of Curry's policy. Curry fought Roose-
velt's nomination to the end and also
opposed Lehman's candidacy
Ahearn's statement of the new wig
vam policy was echoed by lesser dis
trict leaders in the insurgent group
that ousted Curry.
