For four months, the million textile strikers have been waiting for this report, promised to them in September, as their reward by Roosevelt ande Francis Gorman, U. T. W. head, when they agreed to return to the mills after their strike had para- lyzed every important mill center in the country. The conclusion of this study, made by statisticians of the United States Bureau of Labor Statistics is deadly: As a result of the N. R. A. code wage earners in the mills had a smaller real income in August, 1934, than in July, 1933, just be- fore the code went into effect. . +» When a comparison is made between the largest average real earnings after the code, and Au- gust, 1934, a year later, the loss of real income to the workers dur- ing the curtailment period is seen to be large. In the North, the purchasing power of the average worker was 15 per cent less than in August, 1933. In the South, it was at least 25 per cent lower.” Thus, a little over one year of the Roosevelt-N. R. A. blessings had robbed the million textile workers of 15 to 25 per cent of their real ‘Wages, a wage cut equal to the wage cuts effected by Hoover in the pre- vious four years of crisis! Squalid Poverty The picture of wages in the tex- tile industry, given by the report, ds unparalleled for its degradation and poverty. The N. R. A. “minimum,” said the Communists, was a cool lie. The government report confirms this to the hilt: “The feeling that the code actually provides for a wage of $12 a week in the South and $13 in the North is widespread, though false,” the report states. “Actually these are only the maximum jpsssible earnings for those working at the prescribed minimum hourly rates of 30-32 cents an hour. But in no week since the adoption of the code has the industry average been more than 36.5 hours per person.” On top of this, the N. R. A. wiped out the distinctions between skilled and unskilled to a degree that cut wages still further: “The code refers to the mainten- ance of differences existing prior to July, 1933... and then by a limi- tation of phrase defines this process in such a way as to destroy the dif- ferential between skilled and un- skilled workers.” Wholesale Wage Cuts Continuing its picture of whole- sale wage cutting and exploitation, the report states: Under the code, even if a work- er got all the benefits promised him, he would never have been able to earn more than $676 a year. Actually, the average textile worker during the first year of the code never averaged more than $9.65 a week, or $575 a year. Although hourly rates were in- creased, weekly earnings as re- fleoted in pay envelopes dropped sharply. Due to the code, weekly earn- ings in August, 1934, were 9 per cent lower than a year before in the North, and 17 per cent lower in the South! Real Wages Slashed Some of the conditions existing in the industry are illustrated by the following facts in the report: In July, 1933, thousands of women in the mills, representing at least 10 per cent of the women workers, were getting less than $2.37 a week, This was raised to $4.98 and was hailed as a 152) per cent wage in- crease! Taking into account the increase in the cost of living, the report states, at least 50 per cent of the male workers had their so-called pay rises complete¢y wiped out by rising prices, and these price rises cut the earnings of at least 10 per cent of the males in the North and 25 per cent in the South, Spread-Work Plan On employment, Roosevelt and the A. F. of L. officials estimated that there would be 528,000 jobs as a minimum in the industry. Actu- ally, the average for the twelve- month period of August, 1933, to WHAT’S ON Philadelphia, Pa. “Philadelphia, Attention! All organi- tations are asked to keep Friday, Feb. 22, open.

Memorial Meeting at Elks Mall, 1528 Madison Ave., cor. McMechen 8t., Friday, Jan. 25 at 8 p. m. Main speaker, Manning Johnson, nation- ally known Negro Labor leader. Pro- gram: Preiheit Singing Society, High- land Vanguards, Acrobatics, Political Cartoons, W.LR. Band, August, 1934, was 437,000. There was a systematic spreading of work which cut the weekly wages still further; before the code the weekly average was 40 hours, during the code 36 hours, and in the period Tight before the strike it reached a low of 30 hours a week average work per worker. Wholesale abuses that robbed the textile workers still further are re- ported by the government investi- | gators, In many mills, the report states, many workers were being | “helped” by relatives, sons and daughters, who got no pay. This was necessary for the workers to maintain the “minimum” schedules. Terrible Speed-up Workers are forced to “come ear- ly.” This is due to the terrific speed-up, as the report makes clear: “Production standards have been set so high to earn the mini- mum wage that workers are un- able during the eight hours to keep their machinery in running order. In some instances it is al- most incumbent upon the workers to appear in the mill up to an hour earlier... .” A particularly prevalent form of robbery is for the employers to “de- duct” whatever a worker happens to earn over the $12 N. R. A. mini- mum, and set it aside for those weeks when he falls pelow this min- imum. Thus the employers have been able to maintain the fiction that the minimum was being earned every week, There are hosts of other forms of robbery and exploitation shown, particularly in company house rents which in some cases have been doubled during the period of the code. Pointing to the fact that many workers have wrong impressions about what the N. R. A. means to them, due mainly to the false prom- ises of Roosevelt and the propa- ganda of the U. T. W. and Socialist Party officials, the report points out “that large numbers of complaints are invalid.” Summing up its findings, the government investigators brand the textile industry as notorious for its “low earnings.” Communists Proven Correct So now the wage slavery and squalor of the textile workers has received official confirmation. It was against these horrible con- ditions that the textile workers went into their wonderfully militant strike, ready to battle against their exploiters, It was to these conditions that Francis Gorman sent them back with nothing in their hands but empty promises and the reward of an “investigation.” The textile workers did not need this government report to prove to them the poverty and misery of their lives. The textile workers had the grow- ing and enthusiastic support of the whole Americar. working class in their strike. But it was Gorman, Green, Rieve, MacMahon and the rest who called the strike off just when it was get- ting stronger, It was Gorman, with the enthu- siastic support of the Socialist Party leadership, who placed the fate of the strike in the hands of Roosevelt, who has shown himself to be noth- ing but the agent of the employers for cutting wages and breaking strikes, The Communist Party has been proven correct. In its leading or- gan, the Communist Party warned the workers against ending the strike, against Roosevelt, the strike- breaker, against the N, R. A. Labor Boards. But Gorman and Company broke the mass picket lines, called off the “flying squadrons,” and sent the workers back to their slavery, Strikers’ Demands But the fight has only begun. The textile workers in their convention laid down the demand for: 1. A 30-hour week with no cut in weekly pay. 2. Wage rates from $13 a week for unskilled to $30 for skilled, 3. Revision of all work loads. The Communists stated in Sep- tember, and repeat now, that with a strike in the hands of the fight- ing rank and file, not in the hands of a Gorman, these basic demands can be won from the employers. Class struggle tactics can win: them! The Communist Party calls upon the textile workers to begin 2 mobilization of their strength for new fights, unhampered by the treachery of the Gormans, whose shame is written large in the Pages of this latest government report.

Voting full support for the strike, the Cleveland Federation of Labor \issued a call for volunteers to re- inforce the mass picket line. Police attacked the picket line in Kent, where the picketing was turned into a real mass demonstra- tion as members of other unions and workers in different industries massed on the picket line to dem- onstrate their solidarity with the striking garment workers. The workers withstood the attack and picketing was continued, Plans are being made to spread the strike over the entire cotton dress industry and preparations are being made to pull another large shop out early next week. The entire dress industry is stopped from 8 to 10 o'clock every morning to participate in the mass picketing. From next week on, the cloak division will also be stopped from 2:30 to 5 in the afternoon to man the picket lines.
