This conference wili be composed | of young textile workers’ delegates | from all important textile centers of | New England.

Already | Lowell, Lawrence, Nashua. Newport and Troy have elected delegates to! this conference. The conference will prepare def- inite plans for the organization of the unorganized young workers and { > the improvement of their working conditions, as can be seen by the problems that will be taken up and/ acted upon, as equal pay for equal |work, minimum wage for young workers, no speed-up, etc. { Important centers have |sent in credentials.

I tried to tell him a April 28 I asked the mate for | of the social injustice in this world, ; | but he wouldn't listen, | He insisted that I was a trouble- maker, but he afterwards admitted that I made no trouble up-to-date. His final argument was, “If you don’t resign. I'll have to fire you.” So I politely told him I wouldn’t leave the | the reason for it. I therefore tried | League for any job. “Well,” he said, |to talk of this thing to a: | the shipping master has heard of you and said I must get rid of you. The best thing you can do is to go up and try to straighten it out with him if you want to keep your job, Not so much for my job, but be- cause I knew the shipping master waa misinformed, I went uv to him. T walked into his office, introduced myself and my mission. I told him I understood I was to be fired by his orders, so said the mate, “No,” he said, “I told the mate that {f he must fire you fox that reason I would black-lict you from tho company.” Then I oxplaired to him what I had beon doing aboard ship, I was and am trying to get thom to think about Communism in a social and organ- aod way, Throatons Dlaek-liat Tho ship mastor could see no harm in that, But what sbout my wanting to get a day off to attend « meting of this Porty.

As far as keening a man out! of work, I don’t want to do that but | we can’t keen a trouble maker aboard | our ships.” I returned to the mate and told him what took place im the! ship master’s office, and emphasized j about who wanted the firing done. “That's it,” he said, “the mate is always’ the goat.

The coal diggers in the coke fields are working under conditions eyen re dangerous than those in the bituminous and anthracite mines. Wages, which are usually paid in script or company-coined money and exchangeable only at company-owned stores, are among the lowest. paid miners anywhere. There are no pit committees, as in union mines, to de- mand safety measures to protect the lives of the workers. ‘el a Most of the mining towns in the coke fields are entirely company owned. For those who do not work in these towns, merely to walk thru the streets is an offense. Coal and iron police, licensed hy the state, but hized and paid by the company, are on hand to see that nobody attempts to organize -the men. \ According to, reports, brought to the headquarters of the National Min- ers’ Relief Committee by coal diggers from the various mining camps, the cokeworkers are nevertheless secret- ly organizing themselves.
