The conference will be held in the center of the struggle of the textile workers to build a strong, militant union and where a courageous fight is now being put up to defeat the plans of the south- ern mill barons to electrocute 15 strikers and ctzike leaders. The preliminary conferences in Charlotte -will elect delegates to the Cleveland Convention. Shoe Workers.
