TEXTILE WORKERS HOLD
ANNUAL MEETING IIERE
Twenty-Eight Cities in Two Caroliiuis
Represented at Meeting Held Satur
day Night.
The Garolinas . Council of Textile
"Workers, made up of members of the
United Textile Workers of America,
held a meeting he.ro Saturday night in
Furr’s Hall, with 2S towns in -the two
Carolinas represented among those
present.
The Council had under advisement
u number of matters, of importance,
and it proved of such benefit and in
terest. its officers declared, that sim
ilar meetings are to be held from time
to time in the two states.
/ames F. llaiTOf ;, editor of The
Charlotte. Herald, was elected presi
dent of th(‘ council.
The most 'important matter before
the council, according to reports, was
,t discussion of wage increases. It
was decided at flit' meeting that the
officers of the council enter into nego
tiations with textile employers to se
cure wage, increases at least one-half
of the amount of' the decreases made,
since the year 1!>20.
in this .connection the council se
verely criticised the. mill owners ill
Gaston county for the recent o per
e(*nt. increase granted the employees
in that county. .The wage increase
was cliaracteri'/eil as a “measly
amount.” and "an insult instead of an
increase.” The council also passed
a resolution calling on the public, the
press and pulpit to give intelligent
support to the textile workers to the
end that they may advance, to their
“rightful place” among other indus-.
trial workers. The council will meet
again on the hist Saturday in April
ill Huntersville, to hear reports from
work that is now going -on in the
unionization of the textile industry in
the South.
Represe.ut.itives present at the coun
cil meeting adopted the following reso
lutions :
•'Whereas. During the war wages
were increased to an amount that
should have piw iled in peace times,
and i <
*’Whereat>. The increases granted
I during the war have been removed
I through wage-cuts in amounts ai>-
C>o to 70 per cent., leav
ing the present a*age almost as low
was was the ridiculous wage paid be
fore she war. and
“\V! ere,.-?. The cost of living is
about a> inch n* ever reached, and
is now constantly increasing, and
i “Whereas, Textile workers in New
England states and ether sections of
the country have received increases
I bringing their wages to within 10.
j per cent, of the peak wage paid diir- I
| ing the war, and
“Whereas. There are more workers
in the textile industry in the Garo-
I liicts than in any other industry.
! which means that we.are. charged with
the responsibility of preparing for the
i state and society ji larger number of
’future citizens than those employed in
any other industry, and
“AVliercas. We cannot do justice by
the. children in our homes on the
meager wage nrfw received, therefore
"Re it resolved. That it is the opin
ion of this council that the inci-orcse
iii wag's should be at least due-half
! the. amount of all decreases that have
j been made during and since the year
1020, and the officers of this council
! are hereby authorized alid instructed
to enter into negotiations with our
j employers in itn effort to secure, such
j inerestsos. ■ • y •.
“Whereas, Gaston county is. the big
i t(‘xtile county in the state, and,
! whereas, the lowest wages in the in
jdfistry are. ptiid in Gaston county, and,
! whereas,' it is aiiuouuecd that some
jof the mills in Gaston county have
!made an increase of five per cent.,

strong ease against him, and tip it it
would go hard wjffli the man when

j they are well founded, he will start
(a systematic search for the man.

(TTY ELECTION IN CHICAGO.
The Liquor Question Will Play a
More or Less Prominent Part.
Chicago. 111., (March 31^—‘After one
of the most spirited municipal cam
paigns Chicago has sc:n in many
years, election day approaches with
the fate of the rival mayoralty candi
dates hanging in the balance. The?
contest this year presents one strik
ingly novel feature in Chicago poli
tics. in that partisanship and
j “machine” activities have been
eliminated to a large extent. The
mnjcralty ca tid'd at es of the two lend
ing parties — Arthur C. Lucder, Re
publican. .and Judge William E.
Dever, the Democratic standard-bear

February primaries with the indorse

The battle between iMr. Luedor,
'. Chicago's i-ostnmstor, who retired to
j make the mayoralty race, and Judge
l Dever. who has taken a leave of ab

I exceedingly spirited. While .Mr.
j Lucder is of German-American

The contest turns on various local
issues, with the liquor question play
ing a more or less prominent part. Os
the two parties, the Democratic is de

organization rliinrs the Democrats
here as practically committed to their
platform
Chicago's first complete selection,of
its city council on a nonpartisan
basis will be cleaned up at the polls
next Tuesday, an incident of they
election almost lost sight of :n the
excitement of tlie mayoralty cam

seats are to be ft led by choice of the
voters. However, they go. 4he council
is certain to continue-Democratic by

If Judg' Dever is elected mayor, it
hvill put a complete Democratic ad

election of Mr. Lueder. the Republican
candidate, would, h iwever, seriously
limit the tie d of operations of the
local Democracy, now guided by
George E. Brennan, political heir of

of Illinois.
t Various good sitt ng aldermen and
