TRAFFIC LIGHTS
REGULATION URGED
Congress Heights Association
Asks Survey, With View
i. to Better Regulation.

Holding that too many traffic lights
improperly synchronized binders traf-
nc, the Congress Heights Citizens As
gociation Monday night urged that part
of an appropriation of 100000 for In
Btallation of new lights be used for a
survey of trafic conditions designed to
facilitate the flow of vehicles.
In discussing the movement, at a
meeting in Congress Heights Bap-
fist Church, traf1ic conditions in
Philadelphia and New York were con-
trAsted to those in the National Capt.
tai, and it was pointed out that on
main thoroughfares in these cities,
lights are so harmonized so as to per-
init rapid movement of vehicles. 1T
was argued that no more lights should
be installed until the present ones are
regulated.
Oppose Abandoning Market.
In answer to an appeal from the
Washington Highlands Citizens ASSo-
citation for cooperation, the Congress
Heights organization went on record OPP
posing abandonment of the Center Mar
ket until a new market is constructed
and ready for occupancy.
The association Endorsed the newly
proposed merger of street car compa-
mics sponsored by the Public Utilities
Commission and moved that letters be
sent the authorities through whose
hands 1t will pass urging adoption Of
the plan. Terms Of the merger were
approved as meeting with the desires
OF the people of Washington.
The association favored barring all
bodies other than civic and citizens or
Plantations from membership IN the
Federation of Citizens Associations.
Approve School Item.
Approval of the $30l0,700 item for
construction and betterment of District
schools included in the budget was ex-
pressed and a committee named to ask
oficials to take prompt action on ex-
penditure of $4,000 proposed for the
addition to the Congress Heights School,
A resolution seeking q classified pos
cal station for Congress Heights in lieu
Of the present sub-station also was
adopted.
DR.. E. E. Richardson, president Of
che association, presided.

to the convention, that it was neces-
sary for them to take this hurry up
course.
Certain members, who objected to
this procedure, got up petition
and had it signed by about 25 men,
bers and read it the evening of the
meeting for the installation of Of
ficers. According to the Interna-
tional bylaws, this must be done.
Then the secretary must attach the
seal and sign it and also the pres
ident must do the same. This they
declined, at the advice of the gen.
eral-president, in spite of the fact
that we called to their attention the
clause in the International bylaws.
During the meeting some one Of
the worthy members got up and
made motion that the "seal of
the union should be denied" The
funny part of this was that the
motion was defeated by a standing
vote of "a to IS. Still the secre-
tary declined to put the seal there
in.
This is one more proof of the
lack of desire on the part of our
International officers to really. or
ganize the workers. Their game of
politics and their soft jobs and good
salaries are the important things
in their lives.
So we appeal to the class con-
scious workers to join the progress
sive groups that exist in a great
many of the major cities and put
a stop to these labor takers and
also build up an industrial union in
our crafts.

rain COMES TOO
LATE TO HELP The
N. OAK. farmers
Farm Board Not Wor-
ried About Farmers

has finally come here but too late
to be of much help for the present.
crop. The hot winds of few days
ago have shriveled the grain con-
siderably and the yield will not
nearly be what was expected some
weeks ago.
AS soon as rain was reported on
the grain exchanges of the country,
wheat took a tumble of several
cents, despite the fact that mois-
ture now is of very little benefit in
making for p heavier yield, but
then, this is something that doesn't
worry the food spectators.
A very few farmers have wheat
left from last year and these will
make some money at present prices,
but this does not, of course, assist
the vast masses of small farmers
who have no carry-overs. The
small farmer is going to be up
against it this coming winter. The
wheat yield is SO low in most places
in the Northwest that after expenses
have been deducted for cutting and
threshing, there will be very little
left for the farmer and his family,
and with hardly any credit at the
banks and the stores, he faces bad
situation, indeed.
The Farm Board is not worried
about how the small farmer gets
along. He must shift for himself
and if he has no security to give
for loans and no financial standing
in the community, he is out of luck.
The farmer who needs relief is al
ready aware that Hoover and the
Farm Board won't help him.
Combines and tractors have been
shipped into this section by the hun
dreds and thousands this season,
but it is difficult to find a market
for them and we find, therefore, that
this machinery is stacked up in
railroad yards and warehouses.
Harvest workers coming into this
section complain it is not easy to
get work because of the combine dis
placing so many workers.
/ came across a copy of the July
issue of the United Farmer and am
glad to see there is such a farm
paper in existence in the U. S.
Farmers are being fed up on capt.
talist farm papers and as long as
they read this stuff we cannot ex-
pect much progress among them.
Note, too, there is a drive on to
make this paper a weekly and l be-
lieve this is good thing.

William A. Brady Presents
First New Play Of Season

To William A. Brady goes the
honor of presenting the first new
play of the season. A drama of
life in a college town, entitled "Now-
A-Days," it was written by Arthur
F. Brash, a newcomer in the ranks
of playwri hts. l. is at the For
rest Theatre.
Those who like their drama raw,
even though it seems impossible at
times, will like this little play Of
contemporary life among the sons
and daughters of the rich who re-
ceive a college education" Accord
ing to this play, sex and drink are
the major elements of college life,
the girls even drawing lots as to
who will seduce a male virgin. The
talk is plain and unvarnished and
will bring many a smile and per-
haps laugh from those who are
in a merry mood.
Three girls who live in the col
lege town, bored over their past
affairs with the college boys, decide
that one OF them will try to add
to their list, Boyd Butler, football
hero. Boyd does not drink and
cares less for women. He is mostly
interested in winning a scholarship
for Oxford.
Paula Newhall, the widest of the
three, is the one who is chosen to
"get" Boyd. She takes him in her
fast car to a questionable rooming
house run by certain Mrs. Fisher.
There, Boyd, for the first time in
his life, gets drunk and has an ar
gument with bootlegger, who also
has drank too much moonshine. The

CHICAGO, (By mail) Accord
ing to the capitalist papers, Chi
cago is the home of the best boot
leggers and gunner in America
1t is also the habitat Of a special
parasite known as the employment
agent. Let us visit some of these
gentlemen and see how they do bust
ness.
First, let us visit some of the
West Madison st. slave markets,
and see what the bosses flunkies
have to say. The sign in the win
dow reads, "Laborers, so cents an
hour" Inquiry discloses that the
men must be six feet tall, weigh 200
pounds and not be over IS years
old.
He must be a resident of Chicago.
Why all these fancy requirements
for a laborer? 1t keeps out those
the boss thinks are undesirable. :"
Incidentally, the mplo y m t
sharks fee is only five dollars.
Pass on and find sign that reads,
"Dishwasher, $40 week and
meals. (No colored help need ap-
ply.)"
Can't Negro wash dishes as we'll
as a white man? Certainly he can
and does in many places.
Next, a sign reading, Railroad
crossing flagman. Eight hour
shift" We make inquiry and are
told at great length that all one is
required to do on this job can be
done in Is minutes a day. The
shark gets very enthusiastic over
the virtues of this particular job.
Apparently it is piece of capital
list heaven transplanted to earth for
the special benefit of some worker.
In reply to question, the job shark
admits that the wages are only So
a day. He demands fee of $3.50
for his services"
We wander on and visit some of
the employment sharps' places on
Canal st. The inevitable signs are
in evidence. One Of them reads !:
"Lahorers, railroad, 40 cents an
hour" We make inquiry and find
that the place of employment is
twenty miles hours ride on train
and that there is no provision for
meal en- route. The long-winded
clerk recommends this job highly.
Apparently the foreman is an angel
just imported from "heaven." And
the board! 1t is on a par with the
best hotels, so the clerk says. But
we know better. He is merely an
other CRATER and trying to make
his racket go.
The next and last place we visit
displays large sign, reading, "Free
employment agency" There is
only one job on the board, railroad

bootlegger draws gun to shoot
Boyd, but Paula hits him on the
head with a bottle of whiskey and
kills him. Panic-stricken, Paula
leaves Boyd in the rooming house
with the dead man and hurrics
home. Boyd, unconscious from the
bootleg whiskey, is later rescued
by two friends who manage to get
him back to his room at the col
lege.
Police get on the trail of the muir
derer and find Boyd's fraternity
ring near the dead man. Boyd
confesses to the crime, not knowing
that he did not do it. Just as he
is being led off to Jail, Paula tells
the true story of what happened
and takes poison. She then drops
dead. 1t is a fitting climax to a
play that is crammed full of ex-
citing episodes.
Of course, Boyd. meets the right
girl after all, and when the final
curtain falls he is in the arms of
Barbara HEREFORD, daughter of a
leading physician of the town. Could
anyone desire a more happy end
ing to the play than that?
Mayo Methot portrays Paula, and
gives powerful characterization of
a girl of that type. Melvin Doug
las does well as Boyd, and Edward
Pawley is true to life as the boot
logger. Others in the cast include
Irene Blair, Peggy Shannon and
Allen Davis.
Jessie Bonstelle, director of the
Civic Theatre, Detroit, staged the
production.
