The dye strikers had two of their mion representatives at a meet- ing of the Paterson Branch of the United Unemployment and Relief Workers Association of New Jersey to explai why they were on strike, and to tell the unemployed and rel workers what they could do to p striking dye work- ers, They were accepted and as- sured that the organization would ll in its power to help the dye workers.

They elected two delegates for the mass meeting of the dye kers Saturday, Oct. 27, to as- sure the dye strikers they will do all possible to help them win the strike, and that they will not scab on their fellow workers.

Last Friday, when the strikers tried to stop scabs from entering the Chicago Rubber Clothing Co. the police chief Dovey Luther had his picket rict squad, He fed the strikers plenty of gas. Three | women were taken to the hospital for treatment. Last Sunday the local Trades and Labor Council issued a call for a mass meeting. They have just found out that it was about time the police chief was removed. But what good would that do when his chief assistant, Mulke, is just as dirty as Dovey Luther. A man that will act as a tool can’t be any better than his master. Here's to getting rid of both of them. Scabs Fail To Get in | By a Worker Correspondent | RACINE, Wisc—The workers of | the Chicago Rubber Clothing Co. | have been on strike since Oct. 4th, for an increase in pay and for ‘recognition of their union. After several days of striking this O’Boyle (“Oh Boil”), was sent | in to pacify the workers. This | O'Boyle couldn’t come to a head, so he schemed to get the help of a rabbi, rabid red baiter, Cohen, | to snare the workers into their | trap of arbitration, but so far they have failed. Then they enlisted the aid of the Racine Service League, a red baiting organization of the Racine Journal Times, to | pull the wool over the eyes of the workers, The workers were led to believe by the local gutter sheets that they could win without a struggle, and |relaxed in their mass picketing. On Wednesday, Oct. 17th, a Switch engine came to get a car of goods out that had been loaded by the office help, who up to now the strikers thought were harm- less and let go in every day. But lay down on the rails and turned back the train crew. On Thursday, Oct. 18, the train crew came under the protection of | of thugs, and took out this car which the women had so heroically | Prevented the day before, The | about-face was ordered by a Mr. H. Ruffer, international represen- tative of the Ladies Garment Workers Union, because he said there might be bloodshed if they tried to stop them as these militant women did the day before. All this time this O’Boyle was jesting but not until Friday did it |burst.

Communist Candidates Are \ Leaders in the Fight for the Right to Organize, Strike, Picket. _ DespiteGas Exposes Weavers That Ran Four Leno Looms Now Must Work on Five By a Textile Worker Correspondent NEW BEDFORD, Mass.— When the general textile strike was called off by the U, T. W, leaders, we were told by them, particularly Gorman ‘We Gosnold mill workers see no “victory” for us workers but a great defeat. As far as the local mill owners are concerned they have won a vic- tory over us textile workers, Here in this Gosnold Mill speed-up is on the order of the day. Right after the strike the speeder-tenders were were given two additional speeders to tend to the four they already had. Now it’s the weavers. In the silk shed number 1, we used to run four leno looms. Now we have five looms to run, two lenos and three silk small box looms. This speed-up has been extended to three alleys al- jready, and the overseer is prepar- ing the last two additional alleys for this form of speed up. That means that at least one-fifth of us weavers will be fired. Many of us weavers have. gone up to the Labor Temple and com- plained to Batty and Binns about it, but all the answer we get is “we'll look into it.” Yes, while they are “looking into it” we are given more speed-up. Shoe Union Organizes | Jobless By a Worker Correspondent HAVERHILL, Mass. — Over 300 unemployed members of the United Shoe and Leather Workers Union attended the first mass un- employed meeting called by the unemployed committees elected in each local and initiated by Alfred Porro, agent of Lasters Local No. 8. Brother Porro outlined the work so far. In the reports it was pointed out how the manufactur- }ers try to use the unemployed | against the employed.

I can get no work, One mill here got $240,000 last June and has just started to work. Before we used to run six looms; now on the same kind of work, we run 10 looms. | A very few work for the E. R.

Here we have two shifts when we work, but they could put on one shift, and not have the weave shops closed so often. There are two big weaving shops in this town. There are five mills here closed for years, with all the machines gone out, and two gone to the ground. One more is coming down, and no new one is going up. The ones that went to work after the strike are filled with workers with long faces, for their jobs are getting harder, and strikers, hoping jthe people will wake up soon, are |getting ready. We can see that there are lots of people waiting for the boys and! girls to come from school and look | |for work. Their fathers and fami- |lies are getting very little, and can- not help them much.

He was one of the most militant, sincere and honest workers in the union, Because of {his work for a strike during the \general strike period he was per- manently blacklisted by the mill owners. And now this company |} agent, Roxy Dodson, has framed | him and had him expelled. Saturday before last, Dodson at- |tempted to expel Crews. But there was a good representation of the membership present and he won the fight against her. Then the next Saturday, when only nine |members of the local were present, Dodson brought it up again, They took two votes. Jim Crews |Was asked to leave the room both times, The first vote, according to | Dodson, was a tie. The second yote was a 5 to 4 majority in favor of expelling him. This action is an absolute viola- tion of any democratic rights in the union. There is no by-law of the United Textile Workers constitution prohibiting its members from be- jJonging to the Communist Party. | But it is simply because Roxy Dod- son is a company agent and does ;not want militant workers to get |into the union that she does this. She bragged that the National Council had already given her per- | mission to expel Crews on the charge \of being a Communist. Every evidence points to the fact that Mrs. Dodson is a company agent. In the strike period she knifed the strike, Even literature sent her by the U. T, W. stayed in her pos- session and was never distributed to the workers, She has made every attempt to keep the union from growing in Danville. And because ‘of this there is only a handful of |20 or 30 in the union now. When a militant worker applies, she dom- inates the little handful of members and keeps him out. When one suc- ceeds in getting inside, as Jim Crews did, she quickly begins pulling strings to have him expelled. The outrageous and dirty action of this company agent must be ex- posed. Members of the United Tex- | tile Workers Union in other locals should help us in Danville by pro- testing this action. Jim Crews is ; appealing his case to the National ‘Council. Even if he is not a Com- munist, he is a sincere and militant worker who does not believe in lying down before such cowardly and un- derhanded trickery. He is a real fighter. Roxy Dodson, Company Agent, | Wrecking Local in Danville! UTW Branch Dwindles| ® Caught Red-Handed in Plot to Head Off Strike i} | By a Textile Worker Correspondent DANVILLE, Va.—This is intended | | to be an example, a true and living one, of ts: type of leadership the | A. F. of L. officials praise and ad- vocate, and the company’s bosses smile on. Mrs. Roxie Dodson, president of | U. T. W. Local 2057, opens and closes her meetings with the Lord’s Prayer, and in between gives a lec- ture on the courage of women in past strikes and praises her own ability and courage. In every meet- ing that the writer ever attended, she has stated that for four years ;she has been without a job and working in and for the U. T. W.! for nothing. Yet she wears better clothes tin the average worker | can afford. I have never seen her without an expensive looking pair of shoes on. While she is presumably trying | to build the local, it is apparent! to most of us that her object is just the opposite of what she preaches. She fights to keep out militant workers. She picks a com-| mittee of three (her own choice) | to investigate and pass on each ap- Plicant, and if he is found to be militant, the application never goes to the membership for a vote. Why is this? She absolutely dominates | the present local because she has | succeeded in getting militant work- ers framed out or their applications rejected. She recently had a mili- tant worker kicked out because, she said, he was a Communist. As long as she dominates the local she is in @ position to carry out successfully every wish of the bosses as she has done in the past. In a closed meeting during the General Textile Strike, she told the mem- bers that she had a telephonic com- munication from Gorman to call off the local strike, which communica- tion was denied by Gorman. The writer bought a newspaper carrying the story of the strike being called off as he stepped out of the hall. It is impossible to write and publish @ story in ten minutes, so the paper must have had the story before the workers in the closed meeting knew about it. To all who read this in and about Danville, I wish to say, if you are a textile worker, get into the union | now and oust your enemy in the, November election. Get inside and fight to make it a real militant, hard fighting trade union instead of a sewing circle, as one member | so aptly described it. As long as Roxie Dodson dom- jinates the local here, it will never be a trade union. Stop her treach- ery by voting her out. Then and only then can we buiid a union to Communist Was Right, Say Textile Workers By a Textile Worker Correspondent MOBILE, Ala.—I would say that of the 250 workers at the Cot- ton Mill Products, Mill 5, in Pri- chard, Ala., about 90 per cent are sore as hell about the sell-out in the textile strike. I was on the strike committee at the beginning of the strike, and the entire committee knew that I was a Communist. I told them just what would happen if the strike was not controlled by the rank and file. Now they admit that the Communist was right. Some of them even wanted to apologize to me for having dis- agreed with our position at the beginning, So this will give you an idea of how things stand, Misleaders Stoolpigeon Role Bared By a Group of Textile Worker Correspondents LOWELL, Mass. — The Textile Workers Protective Union of Lowell will face a dangerous situation if its present officials continue their stupid policy as has been followed at the membership meeting on Sat- urday, Oct. 13 by Mr. Katis, presi- dent of the union. Mr. Katis started off with an at- tack on the members who. fought militantly during the recent textile strike. Mr, Katis acted as a stool-pigeon all the time during the strike here. He tried to find out who weze the Communists in this organization and then report back to the sell- out union officials. Mr. Katis called the police to eject Simon Harzigan from a membership meeting and anyone trying to get information as to why he did this was ruled out of order. Of course, he is not the only one doing this kind of work. Arthur Charette, business agent for the union, is the outstanding stool- pigeon of the whole lot. He did his duty 100 per cent. He was the main key between the bosses, the policé, and the rotten officials of | the union, Mr. Charette deserves to get a medal from the bosses for the way he helped to sell-out the strike. He gave all the information he t could to the police about the Com- munist members in the union, Du- ring the strike he took all his in- structions from the police in regard to having picket lines, ete. He had private meetings with the mill own- ers and with Kelley and Moll; leaders of the U. T. W. Further- more, Charette was told by the Nashua Manufacturing Co,, that he must drive all Communists from the union. to do. Brothers and Sisters of the Tex- tile Workers Protective Union, we, @s members of this union, call upon you to resist these tactics. We must advocate solidarity and unity regardless of political affiliations as our Union constitution calls for, |Only unity and constructive meth- ods will give strength to our union ranks. Fellow workers you know that these are the real facts that hap- pened in our union. Take, for in- stance, our financial secretary, Mrs. Boisvert. Just before the meeting started on this same Saturday, she noticed that Simon Haraigan and other militant workers were present in the hall. to organize a group to eject “those Communists” from the hall. Even before the strike, Mrs. Boisvert tried to sabotage the strike by refusing to go on the picket line, saying that she did not believe in such a thing, I would like to ask Mr. Boisvert a question, what does she believe in if she wants to win the strike? We also have persons union who do not belong there. Mr, Monty, third hand in the Booth Mills, an outright scab, has been ac- cepted as a member in our unicn, This same Mr. Monty was the star witness who appeared against Sinos Harzigan when the latter was sen- tenced to three months in jail for “assault and battery” on loyal workers. We must beware of such elements in our union. They wili always try to break up our union. These union officials, at the last day of the strike, also went to the city officials and asked their opinion about the strike, In the meantime the workers were shouting, “We want a picket line and a continua- tion of the strike.” But Charette and company told them that. ihey could not have a picket line. This was the mayor's orders, On Tuesday morning, the 25th of' September, the union officials kept the union hall closed. In this same hall were all the posters and ban- ners, and the hall being locked pre- yented the workers from going on the picket line. This is what lost our strike. Some of these fakers are stil in the union. We will call upon the workers to kick these fakers out of their positions and have a rank and file control, —Rank and File Group of this Union, NOTE: We publish every Wednesday letters from textile, needle, shoe and leather workers.

How many Negroes have seen relatives or friends lynched? I have heard a leading | Negro Communist tell the story of his own grandmother's lynching. Such lynchings are part of the attempt by the white rulers to ter- | rorize a whole people so they will | work for less wages. It is only | through persistent participation of the white workers in the front ranks of militant, organized struggle for Negro rights that lynchings may be halted. Susie Busse Susie Busse, a Negro woman, who is the Communist candidate for Justice of the Supreme Court in Judicial District No. 2, New York State has a lynching among her memories, Born in Little Rock, Arkansas, in the heart of the farm- ing country, she saw a man taken out and lynched, She cany: to New York in 1915 with a keen de- sire to do something for her op- pressed people. She worked in the Colored Republican Club in Flat- bush, with that in mind, She worked with the Snyder Avenue Boys’ Club, which is sponsored by the reformist Urban League. Then she saw Negro and white organizing together in the Unem- ployed Councils. She saw white workers fighting the evictions of Negro workers. She heard of the mass mobilization by the Interna- tional Labor Defense, of white and Negro workers to the defense of the Seottsboro boys. She began listening to Communist speakers agitate for the need of unity to fight Negro oppression and the common conditions of Negro and white workers. She felt in herself @ warm response and became active in the Unemployed Councils in Borough Park, Williamsburgh. She organized unemployed in Flatbush, and worked in the Women’s Coun- cil in Crown Heights.
