The head OF the CLOS powerful
Textile Workers Union asserted
that "our conception Of human
rights should encompass more
than those precepts formulated
by the founders OF America. In
ADDITION 10 those fundamental
civil liberties listed in the Bill Of
Rights. he said. must be added:
1.-THE right of a people TO live
IN dwellings fit for human habi-
tation; to be free from disease;
10 have an education: TO be ac.
corded their rightful share of
the fruits of their labor. These
are now part of the matriN OF
American liberty by their labor
have made IL possible TO grant
each of these TO every person
In the land"
But while we have the re-
sources for spreading these bcne-
fits throughout the nation. Reeve
went on. the answer TO our
poverty" must be found in faulty
methods OF distribution.
Particularly in the South, where
the textile union has thousands
of members. there is "concen'
trated a form of civil and indus
trial suppression more ruthless
and un-American that We have
know in the last rs years. :"
