Textile workers cut wages across New England rallies
In Boston 3500 New England textile workers accepted wage cuts as an independent union urged CIO and AFL members to quit their unions. The CIO textile union allowed Pepperell and Continental mills to drop wages 8.5 cents an hour for 3500 Maine workers matching an arbitrator's decision that cut 18,000 workers' pay in Fall River and New Bedford, Mass. William Batty of the New Bedford Loomfixers criticized CIO and AFL and called for independent craft union membership. The piece ends with an odd remark on life arising from sun energy.
