Consider Unionizing
their Mills
fecial to the Mall
'Philadelphia, Pa. Oct. 20 The second
aanual convention of the United Textile
t
,Werkere of America, which opened in
PMladelplla today, will devote a great
deal oJ Its tlsoeto the diacuMion of
unionizinK cotton mill labor in the
South.
The unionising of the Southern cotton J
mill workors Is the most vexing quext
ion expected to come before the con
vention. Tho situation is made the
more interesting by the popular beliet
that some of the leaders among the
ubionised workers of the North feel that
they have the warm secret support of
Northers manufacturers in their efforts
,to organize the Southern workers, as the
accomplishment of this design wonld
eseon the fast' growing advantage the
Southern mills have In their competl-
ftlon against the Northerners, The
problem, however, is most difficult, and
all the more so because the Bouthern
workers have little union enthusiasm
They show a willingness to organise
when approached by an aggressive or
ganizer, and stick to the union so long
as the organizer remains among them,
but Boon drift away when ho leaves,
The leader of the movement says, how-
JliSl.. , .....
ever mat me present convention will
tackle the Southern problem with a de
termination td solve It and to unionize
tho whole field. The ultimate object ia
io bring the Bouthern cotton mill .work
er up to tho houra and wages Of tho
Northern worker.
