This massacre follows immediate- ly the publication in all Southern and many other newspapers yester- day of Governor Gardner’s hypo- critical statement that he is in favor of better wages and condi- tions for mill workers. His first statement advocated the abolition of mill villages, the little towns erected, controlled and policed by mill owners, private slave pens for their employees, where schools, post office, government and everything is directly run by the bosses. Gardner immediately saw that this was going too far, and issued a correction, denying the “abolition of mill villages” statement and in- sisting that the workers got through “community seryice” in these mill towwns “a considerable addition to their wages.” Governor Gives Signal, In his statement to the press, the governor lays the basis for murder- ous attacks on strikers and union organizers by claiming that all the trouble in North Carolina is due to Communsts who came in from the outside, The murder of Hila May near Gastonia followed a similar state- ment by the governor, and the kid- napping of the N, T. W. organizers Wells, Saylors and Lell, with the accompanying flogging and attempts at Ienehing, shortly preceded still another statement. It is evident that Governor Gardner’s! statements are intended to furnish a kind of Sane: of legalism and propaganda for the mass murder of workers by the mill Pwners’ gunmen. N. T. W. Issues Statement. CHARLOTTE, N. ©,, Oct. 2+ Through its southern organizer, Hugo Oehler, the National Textile Workers Union today issued the fol- lowing statement on the massacre of strikers by the mill owners’ police in Marion: “The vicious and murderous ac- tion of the mill bosses and their henchmen in Marion against the tex- tile workers who went on strike last night beause of the betrayal of the eontract made by Hoffman and U. T. W. officials. jis attack resulted in the murder of three mill workers and the serious wounding of 18 more, It is a continuation of the reign of terror all over the South that a British lawyer and a Com- munist representative were ‘“‘per- mitted” to proceed to India, as proof the effect of declaring the prisoners guilty before their trial. The Conference voted overwhelm- ingly for the goyernment, oe 8 Arthur Henderson, Foreign Sec- retary, told the Labor Party confer- enee yesterday tat the government had no intention of giving up the British mandate in Palestine. Hen- devson’s speech was filled with chatter of “peace” and ‘disarma- ment,” but when a woman delegate proposed that the government strive for total disarmament during the life of the present parliament, Hen- derson replied, “We shall not at- tempt what is practically impos- sible.” ernment servants. “This massacre follows immedi- ately the Governor's statement pub- lished yesterday on labor conditions in which he blames the trouble in the textile industry on the N.T.W.U. “His statement, the Marion mas- sacre, and the immediate dispatch of troops shows that Governor Gardner directs his attack at the whole working class, and not only at the N.T.W.U. N.T.W, Offers Solidarity. “The N.T.W,U. will support the) textile workers of Marion to the fulest extent in their struggle against hte mill barons and their murder agents, “The textile workers, organized and unorganized, are facing the most vicious anti-labor group pos- sible, which does not stop at murder in its attempt to prevent workers from organizing. "The murder of Ella May, the flogging, shooting and terror against our organizers by black hundreds, and the murder of these Marion workers by the bosses’ forces, brings out clearly that the workers’ fun- damental rights to organize, strike, and defend themselves are at stake. This danger not only confronts the mill workers, but is a reality facing all workers throughout the South, and particularly the Negro workers of the South, who are most ex- plointed. ss “The governor’s _ hypocritical statement on the Gastonia strikers’ trial is followed by the murder of more mill workers, just as the gov- ernor’s statement that ‘all is well in Gastonia’ when his personal rep- resentative, Judge Townsend, came there, was followed by the murder of Ella May. Both affairs are bru- tal class suppression of workers.
