In an interview with the press last night in Greenville, Peel and} Grooge stated that more mills would strike on Monday and char- acterized the prediction of George | Sloan, textile manufacturers’ repre-} sentative, that miiis will reopén to- morrow as “etroneous ard mis- leading.” | “There will be moré mills out on Monday than closed on Thursday,” Peel declared, and added that this | would be brought about “because of | the murders committed by hired) thugs and gunmen of the manufac- turers posing as deputy sheriffs.” Commenting on Governor Black- wood’s threat to arrest all persons who assemble at union meetings or on picket lines in South Cafélina on charges of unlawftil assembly, Peel said that there had been “no un- | lawful assemblages” and that the |union would “continue peaceful picketing.” ww The workers are enthused and aroused and ready to mass on the picket lines and continue the flying Squad activities tomorrow, They are sceptical about pinning their faith on the Roosevelt Board as |some leaders have advised. They correctly sée the arbitration move as a trick to bteak the sttike. Ii is clear that Mr. Gorman will have considerable diffictilty in convincing the workers of the Carolinas to place their hatd-fought strike into the hands of the three representa- tives of big businezs who compose the Roosévelt Board.

Hudson Hits “Sabotage” Charge The charge that “sabotage” by membets of the crew was respon- sible for the disaster, Hudson told the Daily Worker yesterday, was “fantastic.” He continued: “The chatge that there was ‘sabotage’ and that the fire was of ‘incéndiary ofigin’ is a pal- pable lie, a fantastic story, ih- tended to shift the blame for the tragedy from the shotildérs of the company—where it properly be- longs onto that of the érew.

These same officials who are at the helm of the strike were the ones who helped to draw up the slave textile code of the NRA, which, as the first code, set the precedent for driving down the standard of living of the American workers to coolie wages. It was this code, agreed to by the Gorman- McMahon leadership in secret con- ferences with the employers and the goverment officials, which paved the way for the inhuman stretch-out, for the reduction of the skilled workers’ wages to thé mini- mum level, for gross discrimination against Negro workess, for increased unemployment for widespread com- pany unionism in the textile in- dustry. “It must be remembered that the succeeded in preventing a general strike in June by getting the Gor- man-McMahon leadership to agree to a 25 per cent cut in production which slashed 25 per cent of the wages.

Lesson of San Francisco “The rank and file of the textile workers must be warned to resist any repetition of the action taken in the San Francisco general strike, when the reactionary officials, after gaining control of the strike ma- chinery, proceeded to lead it to a quick su:render, Like them, Gor- man wants to make it easier for the NRA. to step in and break the strike which it could not prevent. That is why he has raised the cry of ‘reds’ so persistently. Just as was done in San Francisco, the U.T. W. chiefs hope to confuse and divide the workers and create the basis for Griving out the most active militant workers fighting in the interests of the strikers’ demands. With the most courageous workers who cease- lessly expose their strikebreaking maneuvers removed, they will pro- cecd to defeat the textil workers’ struggle. “The A. F. of L.
