T. W. U., said: “Right after the strike started, the union tried to get all of the child workers out of the mill. Then we formed the children’s section of the union. The Pioneers helped us organize it and now many children have joined the Pioneers down South. At all union meetings, we sing songs and encourage the work- The Pioneers are telling the children in the schools about the strike, and they are collecting money for relief.” Binney spoke about the frame-up against the leaders of the strike. Among these were Edith Saunders and Sophie Melvin, children’s strike organizers, Both were known to Binney, and were liked very much by the children. “We kids will sure help smash the frame-up against all Gur leaders, especially Beal and Vera Bush,” she said. Speaking about the conditions of the child workers in the mill, she said that the children are forced to go to work in the factory at an ly age, notwithstanding the laws” against child labor.

Our ¢lass—the working class—has but two alternatives—to organize in every industry, multiply its power, and struggle against robbery and persecution of all fronts—or sub- mission and slavery. The working class of the South has made its decision. In Gastonia, in Ware Shoals, in ‘Hlizabethton— in a dozen different centers the fight is on. There is still a groping for ¢ rect strategy and tactics, there is still great confusion in the ranks of the working class. But on one thing the southern workers are clear. They recognize such papers as the Gas+ tonia Gazette as the organs of their enemies—the mill barons and other anti-working class groups. Such papers as the The Gazette has tried to make outlaws of the workers who rebelled against the Manville-Jenckes despo- tism.

Wires Protest Against White Terror in Jugo-Slavia The New York district of the In- ternational Labor Defense has sent a telegram to the Jugo-Slavian lega- tion in Washington, protesting against the fascist terror in Jugo- Slavia and demanding the. release of all imprisoned workers. The tele- gram which is signed by Rose Baron, secretary, states: “The International Labor Defense New York District, in the name of 50,000 workers, vigorously protests against the terroristic fascist per- secutions of workers in Jugo-Slavia. Furthermore, we demand that the imprisoned workers of Jugo-Slavia be immediately liberated and that the present inhuman reign of ter- ror be ended. We will continue our agitation and protest until the work- ers in Jugo-Slavia are freed.” At the same time the New York I. L. D., in cooperation with the Jugo-Slay branch of the I. L. D., is making arrangements for a big protest mass meeting to be held next Saturday.

Their furniture was thrown into the street—and this is only one of many similar instances. But such half-way measures do not satisfy the mouthpiece of the mill owners.
