Harr at the conference, speaking of this competition said: ‘In 1915 China had 31 cotton mills with a total of 1,008,986 spindles end 4,564 looms. They have ex- panded until in 1928 they have 129 mills with 3,638,0 indles and 29,788 looms. Extremely low wages with favorabie conditions have al- lowed the Chinese mill owners to show large profits.” Low Wages in South. “In the first place the low wages are only comparable to the wages of the textile workers in the South, relative to the standard of living in the respective countries. As to Chinese mill owners—in the main the mills are owned by American, British and Japanese capitalists. President Harris continues: ‘We cam meet our part of this in two ways: first by producing goods of superior quality. This should be an easy matter with our education and highly skilled southern borne people to man the operations. Second, we inust find ways and means of low- ering our manufacturing cost.’ “The only remedy the bosses at this convention have—is to lower the mafhufacturing cost and the only way they have to do that is to speed up the’ workers and reduce the wages. 200% Gain Not Enough. “Secretary Cobb reported: ‘For example, your operatives are pro- ducing 50 per cent, 100 per cent and in some instances as much as 200 per cent more than they produced a few years ago,’ and the bosses want to increase this speed-up greater fap ught | as on, a wor ation fos’ ing athletic eed from the capitalistic ism, is working for the he 23 Gastonia prison- The ers a letter Clerence a member of the Labor Union and‘one of the sixteen astonia strikers who will go on trial next Mon for their lives, has written to the secretary of the Sports 1 Labor to knowledge through ber of greetings that we 1 of your locals sev from your National Con- vention.

Company Sports. t this time when the bosses in the South are increasing their at- tack against us, when they are out to crush our union, there is no ques- tion that they will resort to com- pany sports as one of the means to winning the workers away from ir ow mion.
