WAGNER RULING AGTS AS YEAST

‘THROUGH SOUTH|

Joining Union Suddenly Has Become Respectable And Legal.

By THOMAS L. STOKES Times Special Writer RICHMOND, Va., April 23.—The Supreme Court decisions upholding the Wagner Labor Act are proving potent yeast in the South. The leaven is active among the workers, according to C. I. O. organizers who are here from various quarters of the South for one reason or another, some for a concentrated drive in this city and state. Chief among the organizers here is John A. Peel, regional director| of the Textile Workers Organizing Committee for Virginia, West Virginia, Kentucky, western North Carolina and eastern Tennessee. : A very interesting thing is happening among the workers. and you observe. it here at Richmond as elsewhere. Union activity is emerging from the hush-hush stage; slowly, to be sure, but certainly. The workers are beginning to raise their (voices from a whisper to a conversational tone. And so, too, are the organizers who once slipped _into Southern towns secretly and maintained a sort of grapevine ‘communication system with their "sympathizers in factories.

It’s Legal Now Joining: a labor union "has suddenly become legal and respectable, and enthusiasm among the workers is spreading as this feeling pervades the factories. “Boss con-

sciousness” still exists, especially among the older workers who have grown gray under the paternal

system. But “organization fever” is spreading fast among the youngsters. The bosses are confused and uncertain. Hard-boiled ones who would not even see an organizer are now talking with them, preserving —a good many of them—a sort of strained good humor. Some of them are busy with their lawyers finding out what it is all about.

Here in Richmond, a character- | istic Southern community, workers from several isolated industries have come voluntarily to the textile organizers asking for help in forming a union. Organizing is moving apace here. An agreement has just been signed with the Richmond Piece Dye Works, granting wage increases of 2215 to 37’: per cent, by Mr. Peel and Joseph W. Knapik of New York, president of the Federation of Dyers, Printers, Finishers and |) Rleachers. This is a significant victory.

KAY'S OFFER OVER 200

Negro Workers Aided

Two hundred and fifty Negro workers have been blanketed into a union, with wage increases and shorter hours, under A. F. of L. auspices. The Tobacco Workers International Union already has negotiated wage and hour agreements | with Liggett & Myers and the American Tobacco Co. and organization is beginning with the Philip Morris plant. The T. W. O. C. is busy organizing at the Friedman-Harry Marks Clothing Co., one of the five firms involved in the Supreme Court decisions. Another objective is the “huge Ampthill plant of the E. I. de Pont de Nemours Co. The T. W. O. C. is opening head- _ quarters here in the next few days for a concentrated campaign. Mr. Peel and other organizing leaders here report progress generally in the preliminary campaign. It will necessarily be gradual, for in some respects this is pioneering. He expects definite results within 30 to 45 days.
