Workers of two large silk mills are on strike in this city demanding higher wages. Over 150 employes of the Doherty and Wadsworth Silk Mill refused to return to work, “al- though granted a wage increase of 25 per cent, when their demands that the company fire two stool pigeons were not complied with. A delega- tion was also elected to go to Wash- ington to fight for the silk workers code, In the Majestic Silk Mills the workers are striking for a 45 per cent wage rise.

He pointed particularly to the mine strike, the dress strike and the strike in steel and textile.

In the steel strike in Buffalo and McKees Rocks, the Steel and Metal Work- ers Union, affiliated to the TUUL, gained 7,000 new members in _re- cent weeks. The TUUL has gained 40,000 new members, and organ- ized tens of thousands into dependent unions.” “If enough unions join with us to work out a united call for a united TUUL convention in the middle of November,” he said, “it will be possible to form even a broader trade union center, to unite every union on the class struggle basis.” In the discussion, Ann Burlak, secretary of the National ‘lextile Workers Union read letters from mills in New Orleans, New Bed- tora, Providence, and other cities, illustrating wage-cuts,s stretchouts, layoffs, under the NRA.

Workers Took Part in the Textile Industry (Note: This is the second in a series on Lawrence, Mass.) By CARL REEVE LAWRENCE, Mass., Aug. 27.—'The wages of the textile workers have been drastically cut since the: start of the woolen textile code the. first week in August, especially with high- er prices on necessities, and profits of the woolen companies have gone steadily up. In one month ‘prices have risen 12 per cent and the high- est wage increase in Lawrence was niche. mill The owners were the wave of strikes winch roles at ‘out through-out the entire textile fleld of New England in May, June and early July. In July there were 40 strikes in New England, involving 43,000, of whom nearly 20,000 were in the textile industry. Eighty-one hundred of these workers struck bate the textile code went into ef- hag Aaphoes, oe ub Fearing spread e strug- gles against wage cuts and speed up, and the growth of the National Tex- tile Workers Union, the mill owners hastened to make rosy promises to the workers and announced conces- sions, But these promises were al~ most immediately broken and the “concessions” were made under the ‘ode, so that the protection of the rode could be used for robbing the workers of the concessions they had won in strike. At the time that preparations were being made to put into effect, the woolen textile code, the first week in August, the mill owners an- nounced, “Hourly and piece work rates of all eperatives under the code will be so adjusted that they will receive the same amount of wages for 40 hours work that they were paid at the former 48 hour schedule, effective August 7, The minimum wage will be $14.00 a week.” The testimony of the workers has proved that this has already been violated, and instead, speed-up and wage cuts have been given. First, several thousand workers are y already ‘on part time and are not getting the $14.00 minimum wage but as low as $7.00 a week. (See previous story on *Lawrence). Wage Raises Negligible A survey made among the work- ers of two of the largest Wood Mill and the Arlin, » by June Croll, of the National Textile Workers Union, shows that even those working the full forty hour week, have had their rate of wages increased a negligible amount. The yarn boys, doffers, oilers, bobbin set- ters, at the Wood mill get paid $14 for 40 hours when they work that many. were getting around ‘They $12.00 a week, some as low as $8-$10. The winders in the Arlington mill Bet $14 to $16 a week, before they ® ices and Profits Go U got around $12.00. The spinners in the Wood mill get $18.64 a week for 4 sides, where they were getting $17.65. The combing, room at Wood mill pays $16.44, and the burlers get $14 to $20 the high- est. In the Arlington Mill combers get, $18.00, which is a reduction of seventy cents under what they made (at night) before the code. Weav- ers at Arlington get $23.00. Work- ers of the more highly skilled trades like the loom fixers, French spinners, pinsetters, etc., complain that they get less ‘pay or the same as they got before the code. The combers at ‘Wood have been raised only from $16.50 to $18.64; the drawers at Ar- ington from $13.65 to $14.60. Johnson Has Amended Code But the thousands of workers on piece work with these “rates” have been speeded up in many cases twice as fast. The combs run faster. The workers are told “make your mini- mum or get out.” The shifts have been changed so that there are now six shifts, all beginning at different times of the day. The code has already been amended by Johnson just a few days ago, so as “not to curtail the operation of the comb- ing and spinning machinery” with regard to the number of hours. In the Arlington mill the workers have been told “If you don’t produce your $14.00 minimum wage by your piece work in one week, you will have to make it up the next week.” Weav- ers operate six looms instead of the two looms before 1931, Get Poor Yarn “In the Arlington mill where I work we get poor yarn and weav- ers are quitting” one worker HE “We can’t keep up the pace, we can’t make our minimum with poor stuff.” Another worker said, “The wages (piece work) are based on six looms. Often one or more of these looms stand idle for repairs. Then we have to make our minimum anyhow. If you get good work, you might make $23.00. If you get poor, You might make only $11.00. The loom fixers now have tco many looms to fix and thus looms often stand idle.” In the Shawsheen mills the looms run 160 picks a minute, in other mills 130 picks. Rest Period Taken Away The workers report the following: Since the code the dye house work- ers in the Wood mill attend 3 ket- tles instead of two. In the Wood mill 4 wet finishers used to run one machine running 12 sets of cloth. Now 2 men run the same Machine and have to produce the same amount. Among the men running the washing machines, the same two men ran three washers, now they run eight washers. In the Ayer mill there were 40 wool sorters. Right after the code 20 were fired. The next day 20 learners were hired (at less wages) and this force had to turn out the same work as before. The wool sorters in the Wocd mill were order- ed to increase production by 47 pounds a day. Before the code all workers at the Wood mill got 15 minutes twice a day to wash up. The code went in- to effect Monday. The next day the time of the loom fixers to wash up was cut to 10 minutes, and the p in Lawrence, Mass. Shaded by Wings of Companies Have Been following day everybodies time was | cut out entirely, The Monomac mill has laid off 2 whole depart- ments, the carders and mule spin- ners, The wood mill winders are on part time. Prices Up 12 Per Cent The mill owners claim that the code gave a 10 per cent increase in wages. This is the main claim of the code. But the woolen code gave 50—100 per cent speed-up and the increase in the hourly rate was used 28 a means of speeding up the work- ers. The code gave part time work and unemployment. While the sup- posed 10 per cent increase in wages was installed, what happened to prices? In one month the price of foodstuffs increased 12 per cent from June to July. The Community Health Association of Boston issued @ special report in July on “the un- usual rise of food prices since June.” This Association gets out a minimum food budget for a family of five (a workers’ family not a bosses family”). This starvation budget, was $7.53 in June, To buy the same food in July, one month later, a worker has to spend $344. And prices are still rising rapidly. In one month the Price of necessities rose higher than the 10 per cent increase which the code is supposed to have given the workers. The figures compiled by the N. E. Labor Research Associa- Dozen Ways, Shooting Up Profits Blue Eagle, Woolen Fleecing Workers in a tion, show the following prices for August, as compared with March:—/ Product March August | Flour (2412 lb. sack) .50-55 1.05-1.15 | Sugar (10 Ib.) 41-43 50-53 | Macaroni (1 Ib.) 06-07 .10- .12| Dried beans (1 1b.) 03% .0719- .08 | Baliyhoo Hides Speed Up | In trying to prevent the growing strikes of the workers, the newspap~- ers of New England made a tremend- ous ballyhoo for the woolen code and picked out Lawrence as the bright spot in the textile field. Headlines said “Mills Booming in Lawrence.” and great jubilation (in the news- papers) was indulged in. But this “pick-up,” which has already pass- , and which was artificially stimu- lated in order to put over the code and prevent strikes did not fool the bosses themselves. The same Boston Herald of the story of July 6 which contains the headline is headlined, “Lawrence Mills Hum With Néw Trade Boom” contains the following paragraph, “The more conservative term the present state of business as a premature seasona! increase. ‘They fear a slump since they believe that the industry's stimulation has been caused by a spirit of specula- tion on the part of jobbers.
