MILL OWNER FAILS
In Attempt to Bar Workers
Organizing
Employees Hold Big Meeting,
Despite Employers Hostility,
and Union Membership Appli-
cations Roll In.

Greensboro, N. G. QLNS)-An at
tempt by the owner of Greensboro's
biggest textile plant to prevent the
organization of his employees has
ended in fiat failure and the enroll
ment of the workers under the banner
of the United Textile Workers of
America is proceeding briskly.
The owner of the textile mills, who
also owns much of the town, refused
the workers permission to meet on his
property. The only other man who
has property suitable for meeting
was in Florida. The committee in
charge telegraphed him, asking per-
mission to meet on his property. The
permission was promptly given by
wire, with message saying that the
owner was sorry he could not be pres
ent and help in the organization
work
Two thousand persons attended the
meeting, which was addressed by
Paul w. Fuller, educational director
Of the Southern organization cam
paign of the American Federation of
Labor. The hostile mill owner and
his managerial force were present
and circulated about the meeting but
failed to dampen the enthusiasm of
the crowd.
Fuller made a strong speech, in
which he described the condition of
the Southern tetxile workers and told
of the plans of the American Feder-
alton of Labor for improving condi-
tions and for helping the textile in
dustry through cooperation between
the employers and organized workers.
In the course of his talk, he referred
to newspaper statement by the
anti-union textile manufacturer, who
had assailed "outside organizers,
had declared that it was impossible
to give the workers better wages and
had quoted the Bible III warning of
Evolves who came in sleeps cloth
ing" Fuller told the crowd he would
quote Scripture, too, and told the
story of the rich young ruler who was
advised to give his all to the poor
and follow Christ. Imagine Jew
quoting the New Testament" Fuller
said, this reference to the mill owner
being received with great applause
and laughter.
AS a result of the meeting and the
publicity given the organization cam
paign, applications for membership
in the union are flooding the unions
office and trade unionism is being
talked among Greensboro's workers
as never before.

TENNESSEE CHIEF
Opposed by Workers for Re
nomination

Nashville = Organized workers in
this state are opposing the primary
denomination of Governor Horton.
"He has shown his opposition to the
workers efforts to improve conditions
at every opportunity" declared w. G.
Birthright, secretary Tennessee Fed
Grafton of Labor, speaking for the
federation's non partisan political
committee.
"He even went to the extreme of
hiring the state militia to private cor
porations (at Elizabethton) to be
used to break a strike and allowing
the corporations to pay the members
of the militia, to be later reimbursed
by the state" said the trade unionist.
'This committee is convinced that
if Governor Horton is successful at
the August 7th primaries we can hope
for nothing but continued oppression
from the state executive"

COMPENSATION
Low Benefits Cover $4,000
More Workers

Harrisburg, Pa. (ILNS) - Fifteen
thousand employees in Pennsylvania
have been added, since January last,
to those formerly protected by the
state workmens compensation act.
This increase in additional coverage
by insurance companies and the state
insurance fund is shown in a report
submitted by William II. Horner, di-
rector of the bureau of workmen's
compensation.
The large increase in the number
Of employees protected by workmen's
compensation insurance, the report
says, is due to rigid enforcement Of
the workmen's compensation act by
the department of labor and indus
try. This act requires that every en-
ploye in the commonwealth, except
farm hands, domestic servants and
those engaged in casual employment,
must be protected by workmen's conc
pensation insurance. The report
shows that for the five months from

The purpose of this is to increase pas
senger traffic.
"The ship owner has no direct fl
nancial interest in safety at sea- He
is willing to take risks to gain prof
its. Limitation of liability and insur-
ance of different kinds has relieved
him of any immediate loss through
disaster. Insurance premiums are part
of overhead expense. This, together
with interest rates, sinking funds and
all other charges, are assessed against
passenger and freight rates.
Passengers are thus made to pay
for the privilege of being drowned
or burned. Having no interest in
safety, ship owners get the cheapest
possible crew and thus disregard all
safety rules dealing with speed, sig
nails and personnel"

GREEN OWNERS
Blamed for Ship Disaster
Costing Many Lives

Washington. Human life has been
sacrificed to the greed of ship own
ers," said Andrew Furuseth, president
International Seamen's union, in dis
cussing the collision between the oil
tanker Pinthis and the steamship
Fairfax of the Merchants and Miners
Steamship company.
The collision occurred in a dense
fog off Boston. Forty-seven lives
were lost.
According to newspaper accounts
the Fairfax was moving II miles an
hour" said Mr.. Furuseth. "This dan
gerous speed was, no doubt, in obed-
ience to the ship owners command to
maintain the schedule. She was not
using her siren because that would
annoy the passengers, it was stated.

PARROT UNION
Is Wrecked in Rail Clerks
Victory

Houston Texas The Texas & New
Orleans railroad is conferring with
representatives of the Brotherhood Of
Railway Clerks.
This action follows the United
States supreme courts decision that
that railroads parrot union" is
mockery on collective bargaining, and
that refusal to recognize the regular
union is violation Of the railway
labor act.
Officers Of the parrot union in
dicate that this echo Of the rail man
agement has collapsed.
Members of the Brotherhood Of
Railway Clerks are jubilant over their
victory, but they are alert to the need
for organization. If they permit their
union to lose its agressiveness, the
same force that dissolved the parrot
union" will revive this institution and
set it up as spokesman for these en-
ployes.
The silence of anti-union elements
on the supreme court decision is sig
nifcant. They dare not criticize the
court and they can not question the
logic of the decision.
Their uniform policy is to ignore
the decision in the hope that trade
unionists will not realize its far
reaching consequences.
The unions, however, are taking a
contrary position and declare they Will
drive parrot Unions" out of the rail

ELECTRICITY IS
CHEAP? OH YEAH,
SAYS HACKETT
Ambassador Pricks Holes in the
Full Page Advertisements
That Tell of Kind Hearted Cor
p0rationS That Live to Serve.

Much has been made, in numerous
full-page advertisements of certain
public utility interests, Of the state
ment that the price Of electric current
is 'the only item Of living expense
that has not been increased since
1917"
Some explanation of the basic facts
in this situation, as well as a revela-
tion of where much Of the missing
purchasing power" Of the business
world has gone, is found in the state
ment made by Ambassador Frederic
NJ. Sackett, former United States SEN
ator from Kentucky, in his address
before the world power conference in
Berlin.
Il know Of no other manufacturing
industry" said Mr. Sackett, "where
the sale price of the product to the
great mass of consumers is - times
the actual cost of production of the
article sold. My purpose is sharply
to define weakness that calls for
the keenest thought in your deliber-
ations.
"Perhaps the premises Of this
simple statement may be disputed" he
continued. ct may be argued that no
such discrepancy exists 1t may be
excused or explained with the great
est ingenuity
But you who are in this business
should remember that among the
users Of your product the class which
is the greatest in number and CON
stitutes the basis of that public opin-
ion which in the end Judges and con
trolls public utilities is vast body of
men who every month pay a siX-cent
charge in their households for IN
article which we are constantly told
is being produced by efficient electric
stations for from three-tenths tc
four-tenths Of a cent"
The fact that Samuel X Insult, no
torious in Illinois politics, tried tC
have Mr.. Sackett suppress these
statements, has only served to empha-
size their truth, as well as to stiffer
the backbone Of Mr.. Sackett in his
determination to bring out what he
regards as an important fact.-I. /

EAGLES OUTING
And Fourth of July Cele-
bratiOn to Be the Usual
Big Affair

AS has been the custom here for
many years, the big Fourth of July
event for the community will be the
annual outing and independence Day
celebration, under the auspices of
Butler Aerie 407, Fraternal Order of
Eagles, to be held next Friday at the
Butler county fairgrounds.
Each year the lodge tries to outdo
previous Attempts until the annual
affair has grown to great proportions
known throughout the state of Ohio
and several surrounding states as
one of the biggest outstanding cele-
brations of the day to be found any
where. The magnitude of the attrac-
tions attract visitors, not only from
the immediate neighborhood but from
many miles distant they come, by the
thousands.
This year is to be no exception on
the part of the committee to again
outdo former affairs. Much money is
being spent that the attractions and
forms of amusement and entertain
ment be of only the highest class. All
the old-time features that go to make
up real Fourth of July celebration
will again be staged, but here will
also be many new ones. There will
be merry-go-round, ferris wheel and
other rides, games and contests, band
concerts, etc.
The big afternoon attraction will be
the motorcycle races for which there
are already many entries by some of
the best riders in the country. This
is due to the big purses offered by the

Southbound on the Boxer were MT. and Mrs. L. S. Vincent, who taught school at Point Barrow for three years. When Eielson was lost and the world waited for news, Vincent made his debut in journal ism by grabbing what news he could out of the air and sending it to the Associated Press. His stuff went over big and the A.P. appoint ed him correspondent at Barrow.
 When Captain Pederson of the schooner Patterson. dropped anchor at Barrow on his way south with a good many thousand white fox skins from the eastern Aretic-the biggest catch in the history of the country-it looked like a front page story to Vincent.

Road May Connect Wrangell With Inter. Highway
MAP ISSUED BY HIGHWAY COMMISSION SHOWS ROADS UP STIKINE AND TAKU

Motor enthusiasts of Wrangell may one day find it convenient to drive their own car to Seattle and points south and east via the Stik- inc Highway, judging by the map received this week from Washing ton, showing the projected route of the Pacific Yukon Highway to AL aska. This map is published by the commissioners appointed to study the construction of the high way. They are Herbert H. Rice. chairman; Major Malcolm Elliott of the Alaska Road Commission, and Ernest Walker Sawyer. assistant secretary of the Interior.
 Road Down the Stikine
 The map received by The Sentinel shows a projected road from Wran- gell to Telegraph Crek via the Stik- inc River, connecting with the main trunk highway near the head of Dease Lake by the completed motor truck road known as the Dease Trail. The proposed route runs east of the Coast Range to Atlin, thence to Whitehorse, Dawson and Fairbanks via the old Salchaket trail. A spur from Juneau to At lin is also shown, part of which is already completed.
 Accompanying the highway map is another showing Fairbanks as the terminus of the Pacific Yukon High way, and the geographical center of Europe, Asia and America. It is known as the Great Circle Map and was originated by Ernest Walk CT Sawyer.
 Route Is Photographed
 Major Elliott predicts that in five years, or ten at the most, the States and Alaska will be connected by an automobile highway. There are no insurmountable difficulties, he says, and more than 1900 miles of the road have already been built. The estimated cost of completing the road is $10,000,000.
 Aerial photographs of the country through which the highway is pro- iected have been delivered to Ernest Walken Sawyer by the government of British Columbia, together with the information that the route has been surveyed from Vancouver to 500 miles north of Hazelton. The photos have been collected in book form and presented to President Hoover. The American government is now awaiting the appointment of a Canadian commission for a con- ference to designate where the road will cross into Alaska.

Panordna
By KINEMA

Word comes from Seattle that F~arll Cottar, veteran newspaper man Alaska, is writing the saga of Cap ain Ilingenberg, Danish fur trader of the Arctic who recently sold his trading posts and his fa- nous schooner, the Maid of Orleans, to the Hudsons Bay Company.
 Men who are "in the know claim that it was Klingenberg who sent Stefansson off on his two-year ody- ssey in search of the "blond' Eski mos. He was a daring seaman and perhaps the best ice pilot in the Arctic. The Maid of Orleans (now the Old Maid) was once a blaekbird- CT in the South Seas and is said to be haunted by the soul of many a Kanaka who died in her hold. This was before Kingenberg bought her.
 Cottar has good material to work with here, but "Klinkie" is stern rancouteur; he wants to give the lowdown on several famous Arctic explorers, and the publishers are wary. It is said the yarn has come back to Cottar for revision.
 
 Superintendent of Schools A. Ras- mussen was seen lowering over a collection of Eskimo curios aboard the Boxer while she was in port. Oh, the beautiful spear heads, ar row points. and carved ivory what notsl Mr. Rasmussen came prepar- ed for barter but all of these love ly things were part of a collection and were not for sale.
