Fierce Class Battles “The workérs of New York and of Amer and are conducting at the present time intense, fieree battles to build militant unions, to better their con- ditions, They are being subjected to ever-increasing speedup, ever-length- ening hours, and falling wages, and women are the special victims of the increased rationalization. In all of their attacks on the working man} and women, the bosses have the ac- tive support of the reactionary trade union bureaucracy, the A. F. of L., the S. P., the Women’s trade Union League, the Mustes, etc. who at every step obstruct the efforts of the workers to organize to improve their conditions. “In the South, an inspiring revolt has broken out among one of the most exploited sections of the Amer- ican working class, the native-born white and black workers of North and South Carolina. In Ohio, in Connecticut, in the anthracite, the xtile workers are striking for bet- r conditions, for their own militant nion, the National Textile Workers Union. Here in New York, the smakers have recently concluded ecessful strike, the food work- ers are carrying. on a battle cover- ing ever-widening territory with the splendid support of all militant workers, especially the woman work- ers, the dairy and grocery clerks have struck and have had the ag- evessive backing of the wives of the workers, and active backing of the United Council of Workingclass Women. The cloakmakers and fur- riers will soon start a fierce strug- gle for recognition of the new Needle Trade Workers Industrial Union, Women Most Exploited. “In all of these industries, especi- va have just gone through’ jen on this May Day will put for SDAY, APRIL 30, 1929 jwomen form a large percentage of itary training, against religious and the worke They are the most ex- |anti-labor propaganda in the schools. jploited section of these workers.|They will put forward plans for a They must fight to combat their |struggle against the expiration of double exploitation, their exploita-'the Rent Laws June 1, against the tion first, as workers, and second,|removal of this protection, flimsy as women.

A resolution authorizing a sena-| torial inquiry into wage levels and employment conditions in the south- ern textile industry was introduced today by Senator Wheeler, dem., Mont. The resolution authorized the com- mittee of manufacturers to “imme- diately investigate the working con- ditions of employes in the textile industry of the state of North Caro- lina, South Carolina and Tennessee, with a view to determine: 1.—Whether they have been or are working for starvation wa; despite the fact that the textile in- dustry is the beneficiary of the highest tariff protection granted any industry in the United States and is still appealing for more pro- tection. 2.—Whether n.cn, women and chil- dren are compelled to work as many as 60 hours a week for values in- sufficient to permit a human being to live decently. 3.—Whether such employes have been and are the victims of oppres- sion such as is prevalent in coun- tries where peonage is the rule, 4.—Whether enormous dividends being paid by the textile corpora- tions are made possible by the op- ression of the wage earners in their employ. | 5.—Whether the appeal of the textile interests of the south for | higher tariff protection is justified. | 6—Whether United States citi- zens enering the textile disricts to aid these underpaid and oppressed workers in their misfortunes have |been kidnaped and deported into other states and theratened death if they returned. 7.—Whether union relief head- quarters have been demolished by aren men and acts of violence committed against the workers that | are making life unsafe. The committee is directed to re- | port to the senate as soon as prac- ticable. FOUR KILLEDIN IRT.‘L’ CRASH (Continued from Page One) the dead and wounded.
