Pilots Plane For
 Movie Cameraman

A number of citizens of North Woodstock became concerned last Friday when they saw an airplane pass westward and apparently drop in the tree tops. It was later learned that the airman was Frank C. Crow lev. former air mail pilot, whose sign is s'13". Pilot Crowley was on his way from Webster and Dudley to East View farm. Here he guided his plane most skillfuily to allow a movie camerman, who was with him, to .'shoot" the "i3" on the front lawn {; also ''T7' rock, large boulder that was first painted white and then a large black letter "T'' painted on it, in honor of Henry H. Tollman, Crow ley's former alternate pilot, who crashed on Mt Lamentation. Septem- Der 17th. There was also a Living 13" at the place, formed by pupils of Woodstock academy.
 Pilot Crowley will be seen over this section again in the near future car rying a eameraman of another motion picture corporation. He wishes new signs, if possible, on or near the course between North Woodstock and Dudley. He is again to fly the New York Boston mail plane and his friends along the line are planning to give him a warm welcome on his initial trip.

 WATER IN LAPLAND

Before taking a trip 10 the Land of the Midnight Sum-. Mrs. $. Nikol- off of this city had read that the Lap anders were not prone Co the free use ef soap and water and that mo- dern sanitary conditions were not enforced iu or near the Artic circle. Tn an abbreviated lecture, based on what she saw on her recent trip to the northland. Mrs. Nikolof told a gathering at the High School hall, Tuesday evening. that she found con ditions no better than she had pie iured them. Herded with children and dogs in one small hut. preparing their diet of smelly fish and at times trying out codfsh flyers to make cod liver oil. the odor hanging about the home unit was one that the crisp mir could not dispel and which reached the nostrils with nauseating effect.
 Mrs. Nikolotf gave her lecture un- der the auspices of the Parent Teacher Association and for the twenty minutes that she talked, des- eribing the scenes she had recently looked upon. she held the close at tention of an interested audience. The lecture was accompanied by ster- eouticon slides. Some of these pie lures were taken by Mir. Nikolof per sonally while on a northern cruise a few weeks ago One picture of an old church, which has been preserved as a historic object. showed hideous visaged heads designed to keep of evil spirits.
 Mir. and Mrs. Nikolof's northern trip included visits to Iceland, Green land, Norway. and other far-north points. Mir. Nikoloff was enc of a party who climbed the North Cape, promintory 1000 feet high Mrs. Nikolof did not make the attempt, al- though several ladies did so.
 Mrs Nikoloff anticipated seeing slick-looking reindeer. In this she was disappointed. She hkened the rein deer she saw in villages to moth eaten furs", explaining, however, that they were molting She said that the reindeer can not live in the vil- lages fer long. Unless they stampede to the greater cold of the wilds they die. At the close of the lecture Mir, and Mrs. Nikolof were given a rising vote of thanks.
 When the meeting was called Co order n report was read by the secre- tary. Mrs. Stanley r. Bacon. Super intendent Farrin spoke of education al week and urged all present to visit the schools Thursday evening. Leo POminville gave two violin select ions which were well received.

This was the prediction OF Con-
gresional leaders today as labor
celebrated its national holiday.
They said Americas industrial ex.
pansion would lead inevitably to
the five-day week, due partly. to
the developments in mechanical In
vention and partly to the improved
relationship between capital and
labor. Vast improvements in the
social and intellectual life of the
working man and his family, they
added, win follow this startling
change in economic conditions.
UtOpian Condition
The five-day week was pictured
by the Congressional leaders as the
next great step forward to be taken
jointly by capital and labor.
1t will bring a new era o. 'ntcl.
lectual a"d social progress for the
working classes, because of tie in.

TOMORROW

Joseph e. Barlow, American resi-.
dent Of Havana, Cuba, who has
been fighting a 100000 claim
against the Cuban government
single-handed for more than six
years, is scheduled to confer with
Secretary of State stimson or I'M
der Secretary Cotton tomorrow to
convince them Of the justice Of
his claim.
Only last week he spent two days
In the Havana jail on charges Of
fraud made by private individual
in connection with q piece of prop.
erty he sold before his long fight
with the Cuban government re.
duced him to virtual poverty. The
American charge d. affaires sue
ceeded in getting him released on
$500 bond after he had sent tele.
grams direct to Secretary Stimson
and Senator Borah Of his plight.
He left Immediately for the United
States.
Claims Courts Ignored
Barlow's claim grew out Of title
he took to land in the geogra phical
center OF Havana inN 1905, known
now as Ell Manglar, a fashionable
residential district, and other prop
erty on which there IL q casino
having large income.
He charges that the Cuban gov.
eminent seized his property, that
he successfully fought in the courts
for its return, but that the present
government as well as previous ad'
ministrations have prevented the
courts DEGREES from being put into
effect.
The Senate Foreign Relations
Committee made an investigation in
the latter part of 1928 and upheld
Barlow's claims. The hearings
brought out charges that the Cuban
government ordered Cuban Ambas-
| sador Ferrara here to spend
$500, 900, or any sum Of money to
control the press so that there
would be no adverse report.
Stimson Orders Probe
Secretary Stimson some months
ago sent a special emmisary to
Havana to investigate the Barlow
| claim and his contention that he
had court decisions in his favor
that the Cuban government would
| not permit to be enforced.
1t was learned today that a phase
of the investigation has been com
| pleted and that the various court
decisions on which Barlow depends
to uphold his title to the property
are now in process of being trans.
lated at the State Department.

MARION, N. c., Sept. 2
(I.N.S.). Flashing bayonets
and sabers and rows of
mounted machine guns today
set up a formidable bulwark
against Labor Day demonstra-
tions and parades in strike
torn Marion.
Five companies Of the state
militia patrolled the streets with
orders to enforce the anti.parade
ordinance passed by the city coun-
ell Saturday.
Meanwhile a caravan of SYM
pathy was scheduled to pour into
town today from the surrounding
territory, bringing food and sup
plies to the 1,000.odd striking tex
tile employees of the Marion mill
villages.
Paraders Taxpayers
These professedly "anti.Commu-
nistic" sympathizers are Substantial
TAXPAYERS, who will gather at
Hickory from various cities and
proceed en- masse to Marion with
supplies for the strikers.
A goodly number of the 70 labor
organizers and strikers rounded up
Saturday on charges Of melting a
riot have been released on bond.
Among these was Alfred Hoff-
man, the United Textile Workers
Union organizer in charge of the
strike which has been under way
for two months.
Hoffman laughed heartily at the
charge against him while talking
to reporters after he was released
on $500 bond.
Eviction For Strikers

Labor Chief Tells
OF Hopes and Plans
BY WILLIAM GREEN
President. American Federation Of
TahnP


To all people of the United States
who are either Of labor or who are
in sympathy with its hopes, aspira-
tons and accomplishments / wish
to extend to them my congratula-
tons on this the forty.eighth 1cele-
bration of Labor Day.
To those who have misunderstood
labor / cherish the hope that they
will study our movement and when
next they resort to criticism they
will be sufficiently just to base
their findings on the records.
To the unorganized wish to i'm
press upon them the fact that as
long as they remain volceless in the
affairs of men they must accept
whatever wages, hours and working
conditions employers may determine
without consultation with them. I
also wish to say that the trade
unions win welcome them within
the organized field with pleasure.
Struggle For Improvement
Since the beginning of time those
who nave worked as slaves, as
serfs and now as employees, have
perslstently struggled for the reali-
zation OF a higher and more abun-
dant life.
The American Federation Of La
Dor has been in existence since 1881
and during that time it's one idea
mas been to secure something better
for those who work for wages,
That 1T has been successful can.
not be denied or that the many
improvements in the economic con-
dition Of all our people are to a
great extent due to the persistent
agitations OF labor.
We were in the van Of the fight
for compulsory education. We al
ways have believed that too much
could not be done for the protec-
ton Of our children. When we
failed in some Of the states to OBJ.
tain the necessary legislation we
were compelled to go to Congress
and urge an amendment to the
Constitution giving Congress The
power to legislate for children.
Fight to Save Children
Our idea was to make the laws
uniform in all States as children
in some States are being exploited
in industry. We insisted they
should be in the school instead
of the workshop as they were not
only being injured physically and
mentally but were being used to
manufacture articles that come in
competition with those made by
adults in other States which have
better protective laws for children.
Congress answered our plea by
almost unanimous action. We are
still urging the ratification Of the
amendment.
We have reduced the hours Of
labor from IA and more to and in
many cases less than that We
have established the principle of
the five day week, which has made
it possible to give employment to
many of those displaced by mass
production in industry.
When men and women worked 10,
IL, II and more hours a day they
had no time to spend what they
earned IL they had anything left
after paying for the necessaries of
life. But the American Federation
OF Labor changed all this by de.
handing higher wages and fewer
hours of work. With higher wages
and sufficient leisure money has
been spent more freely than ever
