They ie awake at night hatching out | more Frofits from | Murder Mills. There are five “Ca-Vel” murder mills in Philadelphia, Pa., downing- town, Pa., and parts of North Caro- tina. Mill “A,” the in shambles at 51st and Columbia Ave., has 400 looms and is running full blast night nd day. The Pay of a Coolie. The weavers drudge in 10-hour | shifts for coolie pay. They never | get in a full week, for the looms run cut within five days and it takes the to set them up gain, during which time the weav-| ers have to park at home without | compensation. Lost time bilks them cut of 2 week’s pay every month. Excepting the office, there is not a chair in the whole place. The noise of the clattering frames is so | great that auto horns have been in- | led to signal straw-bosses when | are wanted “down front”—| mere alarm gongs could not be heard above the roar. Six stories | are overburdened with the weight of heavy looms packed close together; the top floor rolls like the deck of a ship in a running sea, but of course the building “inspectors” won’t Know about it until the mill caves | in some fine day. Speedup is Ferocious. The speedup in its most ferocious | form wields .the knout, here, as | slaughter pen “A” must sét the pace | for the rest of the string. Two years | ago Collins and Aikman lost million dollar contract by failing to deliver an order of goods on time. s just a drop in the gravy, but | they decided then and there not to let anything slip thru their fingers | in the future. So they put to ae | a corps of efficiency artists who sliced off the “over-head” (wages), doubled the work of the slaves and soon made up the million many times over. In fact, the system was such a gold mine that the bosses are now sesking ways to speed-up the speed-up. New Speedup Machines. Previously there was one weaver weaver to a frame. Even so, it took the last ounce of energy to hold down a Ca-Vel job, because working 2 plush or velvet loom is hard labor and unlike a silk loom, it calls for eyed watching frdin start to But the speed-up hounds re- | cently designed a device which stops the loom automatically when a| bobbin goes dead; this, they claim, | gi s the serfs a lot of sprre time | in which to play around and going on the assumption that the “devil” will find work for “idle” hands to do if the bosses don’t; the workers are being forced to operate two frames apiece, and at the old rate of pay. This cute invention has al- yeady chased a third of the Collins and Aikman weavers into the soup- line. A few corners of Mill “A” have not yet been rationalized. However, the management hopes to have all the weavers running two looms be- fore the summer is up. A Spontaneous Strike. When they first began foisting this bloody scheme on the workers, the bosses met some unlooked for iesistance—bitterness against them broke out in a spontaneous strike on | ene floor of the mill only a short while back. Looms were shut down and a committee sent to the chief crimp’s private office with demands for either complete abolition of the epeed-up or double pay for double work. The spokesmen pointed out that in spite of the automatic stop- per each weaver was doing the work ef two mea, no automatic loom- tender having been invented. The strike petered out for want of leadership, but not before throwing # scare into the exploiters. Night- mares in which million-dollar con- tracts went winging away, troubled their swinish slumbers. One straw-boss was heard to whinc: “It’s a shame you plush weavers should belly-ache about working one pair of frames when silk workers are glad to tend a dozen.” He also admitted, privately, that he didn’t know which way the firm would turn with a real organ- ized strike on its hands. What the hosses are especially afraid of is “Com-moon-ists,” in the ise of the National Textile Work- ers Union, will get a foothold in Bosses Afraid.

These Collectives will be supplied with agricultural machinery, tractors and fertilizers. We have lately erected number of factories ,coal mines and electro- power stations.

But I lost myself in that great city. I spent about three months in New York harbour and returned back to Russia on a steamship. It was too dull for me in New York. But though I was there a short time, nevertheless, I learned some- ing about the methods of American ship agents. I learned how they bind workers for a year or mode by means of contracts, so that before ‘STRIKER, WRITES ‘ON EVE OF TRIAL Calls on "Workers to Aid Defense (Continued from Page One) which the strike was called der, there has to be a picket line or |the strike can not be won, so we | got orders from the leader to pick- et the mill gates which we did till the city council got together and| passed a law that we could not picket; then when they went and un- and give them guns with bayonets on them, and when we formed a picket line they would take the guns with the bayonets on them and started breaking up the line, and there was nothing for them to do too good.

ROJKOV The Guard of the Factory. Bauerle Copper Workers Take Lives (By a Worker Correspondent) PHILADELPHIA (By Mail).— Plenty of proof that laws are created {to be broken, so far as the bosses are concerned, can be gotten in the {office of Baeuerle and Morris, cop- persmiths, in North Front Street. First there is a building “or- dinance” on the books which “pre- scribes” separate toilets for male |and female workers in all shops, of- fices and factories. No matter if|s |the force consists of only one male slave and one woman, they must have distinct closets “wherein to | yield up the wastes of nature.” But the above firm like all firms with | enough graft in the till, is an ex- ception to the “law.” Its “office | building” is a tumble-down house |dating from the so-called “revolu- | |tionary” days. Five men, a female land dirty “privvy” (privvy). The building itself is so shaky that when anyone walks across the | | second floor it “gives” likes the deck lefa ship in a rolling sea. The “in- spectors” must get a juicy slice of hush-money for passing this one. | Then the attic, contrary to every | “rule” and “reguiation’ of the fire marshall, is cluttered up with paper, | in Their Hands | discarded wooden patterns and other | inflammable stuff. There is no fire escape and the winding wooden stairway at the rear of the “office” is so dark that matches have to be struck to see up and down it. The one fire bucket, the only “protec- ticn” in the place, is empty except in winter when it is used to catch the drippings of a leaky steam vadiator. As the “steam heating ystem,” home-made (also against the law) to save plumber bills, is ;uot worth a damn; the boss keeps a roaring log fire burning in the open | fireplace of his room on cold days. |The room being about the size of a | prison cell, his deck is charred from the blaze, it is a wonder that he has so far failed to burn the house down.

R. had food for the strikers | and broke the store open and threw |}, the food out on the street, but the W. I. R. replaced the food and the next day then the mill owner got the man where the building be- longed to where the store was in and had him run the union out, so they rented a little building that | was also bought by the mill and they had to get out of there. The union then decided to lease a lot and they did and bought lumber and had their own headquarters built. While they was building the headquarters the mill bosses said they would tear it down three days after it was built. On account of the threat the union placed guards around the building at night. After the mass meeting was over, well, it run all right till on the 7th of June the workers in the mill want- er to be called out on strike too, So we were to form a picket line that night. It was to be a signal for the workers inside to come out. While we were holding a mass meet- ing that night the bosses sent men down to the union ground to break up the mass meeting. They came down and started throwing rotten eggs, when the picket line started to the mill they were met by the thugs and the police. The police choked and beat up men and wom- en, Then they went to fullfil the threats they had made about tear- ing the headquarters down. Now, it was here that I learned to be a section hand. I did not stay in Roanoke long} in this town, I worked for about a year for the Cannon Mills Co., and| another, for the Caberous Co. | Slavery in Loray In 1929 I came to Gastonia and jlocated in the Loray Mill, leaving their employ about eight months later when I was offered a better job by the Trenton Mill.

I stood against the employ- men office and urged the workers |remaining at work to join thos¢ who jhad come out on strike. I was asked to help with relief work and I spent most of my time during the strike traveling from town to town, col- \lecting money to feed the strikers. I also helped to distribute relief and was often entrusted with buying provisions. During my relief activi- ties I was arrested once, A group of us were taken into custody at Shelby but were released when we explained to the police chief the necessity of feeding needy workers who were fighting for the right to organize and; fight against the stretch-out-, the low wages and the long hours that had been forced upon the workers in Manville- Jenckes and other mills in Gas- tonia and other places in the South.

In reality it is a feudal town within the city of Philadeiphia, the “homes” being rented out at exorbitant rents to workers who can’t afford carfare to and from slavery in the Ca-Vel pen. It is said that this outfit likewise has bought up blocks of houses sur- rounding its Manayunk mills, but it is carefui to keep its real estate splurges in the dark for fear of further stirring up the serfs. The blood-suckers have g@od rea- son to fight shy of the N. T. W. U. An organizer is in the loca! field. Leaflets and Daily Workers have been distributed at the door of Mill “A.” The workers, hackled by the speed-up and smarting under the contract between our miserable lot and the wealth of the bosses, are ready to give desperate battle. The next strike will not end in any truce. Holding the last ditch, the Va-Vel serfs have no intention of suffering the fate of the kulak’s horse who was broken of the habit of eating and would have been broken of drinking too if the plug hadn’t croaked. Too much is plenty not too much income for the plush and velvet barons, but too much slavery for their workers. Romina ana R Ha mOnITOLNE A ON \land, August 31. The new trade union center will form the nucleus of tremendous mass struggles, for the building of new militant indus- trial unions and the only organiza- tion of the unorganized masses of workers, of whom the least organ- ized are the women. The new mili- tant unions are fighting for equal pay for equal work regardless of sex or color, for protective legisla- tion for women workers. Make the demonstration a proof of our uncompromising struggle for the immediate release of our fellow fighters in Gastonia. Carry on the struggle in the fac- tories.

Well on the grounds, then the officers started to take the gun away from from the guards. One of the guards called out, “Tarn that man loose,” then one of the officers fired at the guards. The shooting then took place, One of the guards got wound- ed, three of the officers got wound- ed, the chief was in the wounded | bunch, he died the next day, but the same night the mill thugs and the police arrested everybody that be- longed to the union.

All foremen have worked through every labor trouble that came up during their term of service and have been used to smash all efforts of the men to better their condi- tion.
