- Description:
- Ernest Moore was a textile worker at the Eagle Mill in East Gastonia, N.C. E.W. "Bob" Passmore was an employee with the Firestone Mill, previously known as the Loray Mill. Passmore's parents told him stories about the strikes of '29 and '34.
Moore discusses efforts made by the Communist Party to organize in the South. The Loray Mill strike of 1929 is described by Moore, including the murder of Orville Aderholt, police chief of Gastonia, N.C.
