LABOR'S BOOK OF VICTORY

The economic brief presented by
labor in the Interborough injunction
case has just been published by the
Workers Educational Bureau, with
the cooperation of the American
Federation of Labor. The brief is
a monumental work and undoubtedly
it will figure in every important in
junction case of the future-until in
junction sare wiped out as relics of
an intellectual stone age. Meanwhile
here is a book of value to all trade
union officials and to all students in
the labor movement, as well as to a
lot of lawyers whose brains, while
stagnant, are not entirely atrophied.

Check and Promptly Ap-
proves the Sale
MISS GATTIs is EMPLOYED

The Service Insurance Agency
has bought the insurance depart
ment of the Chapel Hill Insur-
ance and Realty Company for
81, ,250. After several weeks of
competitive bidding, in which
the offers were raised several
times, the sale was approved by
the receivers, M. E. Hogan, /. w.
Pritchard, and w. S. Robertson,
and was confirmed by Judge
Bond in Durham last Friday af-
Eternoon. The purchase includes
the expirations and the insur-
ance ledgers of the company.
w, der. Scott, manager of
the agency, had a certified check

held, and laid it on the table for
all to see. "That looks like busi-
ness" said Judge Bond, and
promptly closed the affair. The
sale took effect as of noon Sat-
urday, January 21.
Mr.. Scott, with whom Collier

gagged by the agency to serve as
office secretary. Miss, Gattis

asset to the agency.
The quarters in the MacRae

COST FACTORS DISCUSSED

The committee appointed by
Mayor Council to hold a confer
ence with the dairymen and dis
cuss the price of milk submitted
the following report to the may
or and the board of aldermen at
Monday evenings meeting.
I'm accordance with your res
olution of January 8 appointing
the undersigned as a committee
to confer with the dairymen
serving Chapel Hill concerning
the proposed increase in the
price of milk we wish to pre-
sent the following report:
"A preliminary meeting of
the committee was held on Jan
uary IL to discuss the various
aspects of the problem and plan
for the collection of data on the
costs of the dairy business, the
prices in neighboring cities and
in the country at large. An in
vitation was also issued to the
dairymen for a joint meeting on
the evening of January 20.
IN the joint meeting, a frank
discussion of the points at issue
was invited, both from members
of the committee representing
the consumers and from the
dairymen as group and as in
dividuals. The finest spirit of
fairness and cooperation pre-
vailed. The dairymen recog-
nized the right of consumers to
be heard in such a vital matter
as the price of a necessity like
milk where town ordinance
practically forbids the residents
from owning cows and thus pro-
tecting themselves. In other
words, the close approach of the
milk supply to the status of a
public utility like water, lights,
and telephones was admitted.
The discussion of costs indicated
an increase in most dairy feeds

Diminish Fire Danger
Aldermen Decide to Employ a Man to
Stay at Headquarters

At their meeting Monday eve
ming the aldermen decided to
employ full-time fireman. He
will be on duty continuously at
fire headquarters.
This action by the board fol-
lows upon the disclosures result
ing from the recent destruction
of Pickard's hotel. On that oc-
casion none of the officers of
the fire company heard the a.
larm, and the attack on the fire
was carried on, without any ex-
pert guidance, by subordinates
and student volunteers.
The University's water de-
partment has agreed to lay two
new mains between Cameron
avenue and Franklin street; and
the, aldermen expect to have in
stalled, within the next three or
four weeks, a better alarm sys-
tenn. These provisions will raise
the rating of Chapel Hill one
class, according to the standards
fixed by the state insurance de-
partment, and it is estimated
that thereby the citizens of the
village will save between $4,000
and $4,000 a year in insurance
premiums.

Art Exhibit i'm April
Committee Arranges TO Show Pictures
of Southern States League

There is to be an art exhibit
in Chapel Hill--the first of any
consequence ever to come to the
village. The Southern States
Art League has agreed to send
a collection of pictures here a.
bout the last week in April. 1t
consists Of paintings in oil and
water colors, drawings, and
etchings.
Just where these will be
shown has not yet been decided.
The place is to be selected, and
full information will be given to
the public well in advance.
The committee in charge of
the project consists of Paul J.
Weaver, chairman; Mrs. N. B.
Adams, w. S. Bernard, Mrs.
Paul ]. Weaver, and Samuel Sell
den.
The movement for the exhibit
grew out of the activities of the
Community Clubs art depart
ment, of which Mrs. Mary
Graves Rees is chairman. Since
the beginning of the present col
lege year it has held several
meetings at which lectures on
various phases of art have been
delivered. These meetings have
greatly stimulated interest in
art.
The Southern States Art
League is a well established Or
ganization which has been send
ing its exhibits around the
South in recent years. 1t makes
no charge to any community,
except the actual expenses of
transportation and handling.
The cost of bringing the pic
lures here will be, it is thought,
around $3.50, It is the hope Of
the committee to raise this
money by contributions from
people interested in the move
ment and not to have any coli
lection at the exhibit itself.
Admission will be free to every
body.
The committee is seeking a
place where the pictures can be
well displayed and where also
comfortable seats can be pro-
ivided.

Gagged POplars on Street
Town Manager, ia Derby Hat, Super
intends the Planting of Trees

People going along the main
street last Saturday saw Town
Manager Knox. experimenting
the placing of cylindrical metal
cages around the poplars planted
between the post-office and the
Carolina Theatre. In honor of
the occasion Mr.. Knox was wear
ing his derby hat, and he made
an impressive figure as he di-
rected the operations of the
working men.
The cages, painted a modest
green, encircle the little trees to
a distance of seven or eight feet
from the ground. They will af-
ford protection against damage
by passers-by.
At present, of course, the
trees are little more than sticks
but w. C. Coker, the botanist
who selected them and gave adj
vice on the planting, thinks that
with proper attention they will
grow and flourish, In three or
four years they should be giving
shade.
