TEXTILE WORKERS
TO RESTORE UNION
TO SOUND BASIS

Washington, D. C. (ILNS). - In
forming all local unions of official ac-
tions taken since revival Of the United
Textile Workers pursuant to the Prov
idence, R. l., court decision, President
Francis ]. German, in letter told the
u. T. w. membership new officers
would be selected without delay to re-
place five whose offices have been or
will be vacated. This includes the Of
fees of four vice presidents and the
secretary treasurer.
President German also informed all
local unions Of the overwhelming de-
feat of t. w. o. G., the dissolved
C. /. O. agency, in the Labor Relations
Board election in the Atlantic Mills
at Providence.
'In the first test of strength and
loyalty since the Providence court de-
cision re-established the United Tex
tile Workers of America under It's
own constitution" said President Cor
man in his letter to 700 local unions,
sT. w. O. C. has been given a tremen-
dous beating. Hillman and Company
made this a test and sent in about 5O
organizers.
T.W. C. Badly Beaten
"In an election held in the Atlantic
Mills at Providence, r. l., largest OF
the wooden and worsted mills, I. W.
@. G. was beaten almost two to one. 1t
was an overwhelming defeat for I. w.
O. c., which just before the election
boasted that it was going to clean up
Rhode Island Instead, Rhode Island
and New England is cleaning out l..
w. o. C. and its dictatorship As in
the court case, they asked for it.
''That election, held this week, shows
| where textile workers want to CO.
The United Textile Workers went into
action in that contest and turned the
| tide against T. w. O. G. We are proud
of that victory, because it shows be-
yond doubt what textile workers think
of the burgers.
Representative workers and unions
from the South report that they are
all set and under way to clean t. w.
@. c. out of the South. Hosiery unions
are iubilant at the prospect for a
change and the building of demo-
cratic organization.
New Union Outlook
North and South, in all divisions
Of the industry, there is cheering be-
cause of the new outlook for freedom
from the iron heel.
"We are moving rapidly and stead
| lily, under the constitution, to put the
international union back on sound
basis.
eve have instructed all locals to pay
no further per capita tax to 7. w. O. c.
or any other body, until there is a
constitutional secretary-treasurer of
the United Textile Workers of Amer
ica When that office has been filled
properly, you will be notified"

Mrs. Allen to Reveal
Blau's Visit to Brook

'sirica, evidently gaining conf
dence in his own case, brought
from Mrs. Haden the admission
that she had not actually seen the
plan itself, but only the envelope
in which it was contained.
Tom Wilton, the cab driver, was
called to relate that he had
driven the Baron to within three
blocks of Brooks house the night
of the murder-and also that he
had driven Ruby directly to the
house.
Clashes between the Special
Prosecutor and the willy defense
counsel were frequent, and both
were several times admonished BY
Senator Dennis Chavez, the trial
justice.
Mrs. Mehitable LArkin took the
stand to say that she knew the
Baron well by Sight-had seen him
several times in the vicinity Of the
Brooks home-and just as she was
asked to testify that the Baron
Won Blau had been seen by :lef
in Brooks house the night Of De.
cember 5, she had to admit she
could not do so. It was at that
moment that Mrs. Aliens dra-
matte entrance into the case threw
the proceedings into a bedlarn.
Tonight promises to bring more
witnesses-new Stories-more evi.
dence-more KERN g-aa0
something tells me it will be one
of the most thrilling of the three
or four more probable sessions Of

seeking to land.
BY so doing, the Chinese claimed,
they rendered the Japanese tank
useless, drowned many Japanese
and isolated the survivors.
But japanese authorities here
claimed their troops were "sweep-

the Chinese were in full flight to
the southwest.
They admitted the retreating
Chinese had flooded the region,
but secuted the view that this
would seriously impede the Jap

Meanwhile. Japanese military
spokesmen here estimated Chinese
casualties so far in the war at
300. 900. No estimate of Japanese
casualties was given.
AIR RAID REPORTS
Nipponese headquarters also
received reports of heavy japanese
raids on Chengchow in which
scores Of residents of that city
were killed or wounded and ex
