vited to attend the meeting and re-
port on the achievements of the or
ganization and the value of an in
dustrial union by Harry Annis, or
ganizer of Local 719.
Christman, reporting for the
Amalgamated, told how the A. F.
of L. unions, in addition to their
failure to organize the great mass
of the unorganized food workers,
had engaged in consistent and de-
liberate strikebreaking. He cited,
particularly, the action of this gang
toward the cafeteria workers.
Industrial Union Vital.
"The bosses are organized in huge
powerful Wall st. corporations, like
the millionaire Willow Cafeterias,
and are banded together in bosses
association. To face these combina-
lions we, too, must band together
in one strong, industrial union"
Christman said.
"This industrial union," he said,
sis not controlled by bureaucrats, !"
and told of it's organizational form
to prove it. Christman's report was
followed by enthusiastic cheers from
the membership.
Harry Annis followed Christman,
He explained the machinery of the
A. F. of L., told of his experiences
with the takers at the Central
Trades and Labor Council, of the
strikebreaking activities of the
Joint Board; how the time is taken
up with jurisdictional disputes and
fights about the distribution OF
graft.
"The organization of the morgan
lied food workers." Annis declared
"they do not consider their job"
He exposed the corrupt machinery
of the A. F. of L., and concluded
with this stirring plea to the mem
bers:
"Will you, as militant workers
who support the strike of the cafe
terra workers, who join them on the
picket lines, get dubbed and ar
rested-will you continue to be al
lied with this anti-union gang? We
should tonight take definite stand
on this question:"

have occurred, including the ar

cities turnout the country.
A series of motions were then
proposed and unanimously passed.
Before they were put, however,
Annis resigned as an official of the
local.
The motions follow: ~ That
Local 719' Cooks and Broilers aban-
don the A. F. of L., because of the
latter's Conscious sabotage, unprin-
cipled explosions, for their strike

{ Commenting on the action of Lo-

Seek to Capture Professors
"The broad plan is to capture pro-
fessors in the universities and COL

high schools and grade schools, and
text books used in all schools.
The subjects of principal concern
are economies, law. political science
and government and all social sci

Control of the teaching force and
of textbooks especially in uniVersi-
ties will, it is expected, insure
straight economic thinking and the

succeeding generations.

Autumn Glory
Flaming Red and Gold Foliage Makes
Beautiful Display

Elsewhere in this issue is an
appeal for the aid of poets in
laying out highways, to the end
that the traveller may get the fun
enjoyment of the beauties of
hill and dale, of meadows and
brooks and woodlands. The
editor feels now the need of a
poet to describe the glory of the
autumn foliage in Chapel Hill.
Had it occurred to him soon
enough, he might have persuad-
ed a few rhythmic lines out of
Howard MumfOrd Jones or Phil
lips Russell in celebration of the
flaming red-and-gold naples on
Cameron avenue and the less ex-
uberant yet stirring pale-yellow
beauty of the elms on Franklin
street.
These and other trees spread
over the campus and the village
make glorious display in these
October days. The naples and
the elms lead, but the oaks and
hickories, too, are beginning to
turn, and in a little while the
green leaves of summer will be
gone and autumn will reign in
all its splendor.

to comment on the others views.
Must YOU" the Poet might
say, drive your metalled road
straight through that clump of
Dahoon Holly, where the cattle
find shade in the summer and
the children come every Christ
mas for branches thick with red
berries? And must you lay a fill
of bare red clay across this quiet
blue pond, and sacrifice the ruins
of the old mill and its black pool
below ,"
Il can get around your holly"
the Engineer might answer, but
do you know that every Sep
tember, after the equinoctial
rains, your quiet old pond floods
the road. ruins acres of grain,
and breeds mosquitoes that
poison all the people here with
malaria?"
The Engineer would win, of
course, and rightly so, for floods
must be avoided even at the
sacrifice of a venerable ruin,
and no one can enjoy a land
scape, however mellow, if full
of malaria germs.
A Road Engineer has no time
for sentiment, and every item
has to be considered in terms of
dollars. To spare grove
sacred, say, to scarlet tanagers
and mOccasin flowers, or to sup
port a bridge with rounded
masonry arches instead of
gaunt pillars, might make a diff
ference of several hundred or
thousand dollars in the total
cost, and in the background
turks the taxpayer, ever ready
to howl,
This condition is not the fault
of the Road Engineer, but of the
motoring public. We are always
travelling furiously from some
point where we do nothing i'm
portant to another point where
we do nothing at all. Lets

doing the damage; there is the

Chapel Hill Chaf

In last weeks issue appeared
certain remarks upon the arrest
of a Raleigh druggist for serv-
ing soda fountain drinks in
glass instead of paper cups. The
magistrate punished the drug
gist with a fine. | have been
discussing this matter with
Clyde Eubanks and have pro-
posed to him that he revive the
custom that was in vogue in old
time barber shops. The patrons
of the shop had their individual
mugs, which, lined up on shelves
in full view of the public, made
a gorgeous exhibit. Every one
bore the name of its owner done
in fancy, flourishing letters in
gay color combinations. The ar
ray called to mind the poets line
about the Arab h0rde-the CO.
horts that were cleaning with
purple and gold. Many soda
fountain habitues detest, as
do, the paper drinking cups re-
quired by the statutes. Natur-
ally Mr.. Eubanks, a good
churchman and a law abiding
citizen, does not want to flout
the law. Let him then keep an
individual glass for every paper
cup hater, every glass to have
the owners name painted on it
and to be sacred to the lips of
the owner alone. The glasses
could be kept, as the shaving
mugs used to be, in a cabinet
against the wall. When T. J.
Wilson, or r. B. House, or 0.
j. Coffin, or any other addict
approached the fountain and or
dered his drink, the Eubanks
assistant who happened to be
on duty would serve him with
his own private glass. This

A Poet Ought to Be Engaged to
Help Design the State Highways

Something dismal is happen
ing to our roads. AS they be-
come better, they become worse.
That is to say, as fast as i'm
prOvements are perfected, high
ways constantly tend to become
dull and uninteresting to travel
over. After miles of spinning
over long, smooth stretches of
hard and impersoDal concrete,
occupants of motor cars relapse
into state of silent torpor, with
no more animation than box of
hibernating terrapins. The
mind is coated over with mo-
notony, the eye becomes glazed,
the body feels like a portion of
baked sweet potato, pressed in at
the sides. A novelty like a
sudden bump or blowout brings
a curious relief, and even a
calamity like a begged and rut-
ted detour has its own peculiar
charm. 1t has always been sus-
pected that perfection was dull
and repeilent, and, in the case of
motor highways, there is no
longer any question about it.
Our road engineers are be
coming too good, their work is
becoming too efficient. Caesar
is famed as a road-maker, and
so is Napoleon, but their per-
formances appear tame and
amateurish now in comparison
with the achievements of their
present-day successors, who
with a transit have pared time
down to a skeleton and with a
level have tanned the stateliest
hills. 1t is time that halt be
called on these fiercely efficient
men, otherwise they will convert
a once blooming earth into a
series of baked ribbons, and in
stead of rills and hills we shall
have a desert; traversable at so
miles an hour, it is true, but
what of it?
1t is obvious that these grim
and conscientious men can no
longer be allowed to go about un-
checked. Our own proposal is
that in future North Carolina
appoint to 60 along with each
Highway Engineer a balancing
factor in the form Of Poet To-
gether they would do the pre-
llminary survey, each being free
