Labor Conditions in the South

II is announced by labor leaders that the CON-
munists failed to make Roadway in the organization
work in the southern textile centers. Their leader,
Albert Weisbord. has been exiled from the COM
munist party, according to the report Of progress
by the American Federation of Labor in the South.
Pres. William A. Green Of the American Federation
or Labor is quoted as follows:
Enthusiastically real and substantial progress is
being made in the South. Even the manufacturers,
hard pressed as many Of them are by the unecon-
omic conditions Of the industry, are beginning to ap-
preciate the need for the stabilizing influence Of the
union"
Pres. Green admits unionizing work is handicapped
by the lack Of money. Also that a great deal has been
poured in, but there are more calls for organizers
than Paul j. Smith, in charge Of the work, can
supply. Just now the outstanding spot in the South
is Danville, Va, where 1000 operatives in the great
mills OF that section have been enrolled in the union
despite the discharge Of many for joining up"
Discharged workers are being cared for by the labor
organizations in one way or another.
There is cheap cotton everywhere. There are cheap
cotton goods everywhere. Pres. Green must be right.
Uneconomic conditions are playing havoc with the
textile industry as well as with the pocketbook OF the
southern farmer who sells cotton at a price far below
the cost OF production.

Joe Robinson of Arkansas

Sen. Joseph Taylor Robinson Of Arkansas is the
minority voice under the big dome at Washington.
He comes up for reelection this year. There is a
rival contender, Thomas W.. Campbell of Little
Rock. Robinson has had a remarkable career. He was
one of the Hoover delegates to the London confer
ence. He is for the treaty as 1t was written. Just now
he Is very busy in the city Of Washington. III plans
to return to Arkansas when congress adjourns to
make a speaking tour. Campbell is said to be an
ugly campaigner.
He is making a speaking tour Of the state. He has
charged Robinson with being a tool OF the power
trusts. and another indictment is that the senior
senator had been in Washington so long he had
lost sight of the needs of the state" Joseph Taylors
name is a household word in America. Campbells
name is confined to the Arkansas ~firesides; in other
words. in a political sense, he is a local brevity.
Arkansas has another senator. Thaddeus Caraway,
chairman Of the senate lobby investigating committee.
He Is the statesman who vas bluffed off the firing
line by the doughty Bishop Cannon. which is a re-
minder that Bishop Cannon has engaged a battery
against all American newspapers and magazines
which have cartooned or editorialized him in an I'M
seemly manner.
He described these audacious publications as "the
Catholic and the wet press" and he is going to do
his best to extract from the Golfers Of their publish
ers the golden balm which is said to soothe the LAGER
ated hide or the sensitive soul Of an upright citizen.
1t Is ever the duty OF a patriotic and forward-moving
American to contribute to the gaiety Of nations.

Intimate Glimpses Of the Valleys Alley
BY j. r.

Detroit Is a large city and the
Better Business Bureau Is a big
thing. but its action in this matter
is childish. II reminds us OF a joke.
In fact. 1t is q joke. But this IS
the particular anecoote we were
referring to. "a soldier was being
promoted and prior to giving him
his bars he was being quizzed.
You are entirely surrounded by
the enemy. Your means Of retreat
are covered. You can not attack
because you are outnumbered. Air
planes are dropping bombs on you
from above. What would you do IN
a case ike this?"
The answer was promptly given.
I'D resign from the army
Detroit is acting the same way.
They're beat. but they think be-
cause they wrote Brownsville refus-
ing to continue the discussion that
they are through with the matter.
The injustice done the Valley Is
obvious. and a retraction OF the
damaging statement is necessary.
The Brownsville chamber conse-
uuently. has written other bust
ness bureaus requesting that some
thing be done to persuade Detroit
to backwater.
I'm our opinion this incident Is
a challenge TO the basic principles
upon which better business bureaus
r founded and can not be ignored
or disposed Of by silence or evasion.
Either proof or r~etracti0n should
be forthcoming or 1t viii remain a
lasting discredit 10 all better bust
ness bureaus" the local chamber
writes. 1T is our understandings
that one Of the activities OF the
bureaus Is 10 correct misleading on
false advertising statements and II
would appear that when the bureau
itself Is guilty CT making mislead-
ing or false statements IN its own
literature and goes still farther and
deliberately refuses to correct such
I statements. il is a matter fol-
serious considerations BY al
bureaus"
This Is putting things I'D u
them. and II nothing Is forthcom.

do the right thing. She might have
made irremediable mistakes IN those
first moments. but she just listened
TO Chummy's voice, with that new
note in 1.-THE tender note Of the
woman talking about the man she

Suddenly he stopped. There we're
footsteps outside. Judy had said
Ihat Chummy was out and would
not come back until late. she was
meeting a relative with whom she
Lao communicated since her recov-
cry. Judy had made the appoint
ment with Alan on purpose TO tell
him.
The door opened. He gave one

"Yes-some business or other

about your Alan again, and Ill

Chummy seemed to be satisfied.
She was still very weak, and she
fell into a comfortable doze.
judy went 70 make the tea owe
the gas ring In her box In the attic.
While the kettle came to a boil, she
stood lost in profound thought.
Chummy's memory had come
back! A picture rose before Judy's
mind of the night when Alan
Steyne had really returned-when
Chummy had smiled her baby
smile at him, and looked nc him
without recognition. and. with com
placent vacancy. had called him q
handsome boy and a nice boy.
When Chummy was strong again.
she would be like everybody else.
The next time she saw Alan Steyne
she would know him. Judy was
\ uveri0ved. No personal considera-
ton would ever disturb her loyalty
to her friend.
Alan Steyne was Chummy's
property. Now that she would know
him. and still loved him. he must
prove his faith and marry her at
once. Through her brain filled with
the mists OF forgetfulness. his
imara had already struggled.
though she believed she had seen
him only in a dream.
Judv's next thought was TO con-
suit Doctor OfShane. The nurse
had come back. and Chummy was
settled for the night. Judy saw the
doctor IN his office. She told him
her great news. and he expressed
approval of her conduct. Nothing
must be hurried. he said. Some
thing had happened during Chum-
my's illness TO break down the
blank wall or forEatfulness.
judy went on 10 the Cafe Turc.

face OF a Roman emperor and the

Bastien Dumont was late in look

given him up. and she was frown-
inc with the irritation Of having *

al. Bastien would understand bet
ter than anyone else. because he
was Chunmy's oldest friend among

When she told him, she threw II

The Once Over
DUFFER'S SOLACE
By Il L PHILLIPS

Copyright. 1880, by The Associated Newspapers
This game they call golf T can't master;
It leaves me disgruntled and sore;
Each move that I make spells disaster
And leaves me a terrible score.
My wood clubs I find somewhat lacking.
My steel ones bring misery, too;
AT divots I'm constantly hacking
And making the air pretty blue.
With putter I'm futile at holing;
I'd give up the game with loud groans.
Except for one fact that's consoling-
There's only one Robert T.. Jones!
I stand on a tee with my driver
AND know that I'm going to press:
I'll bet you a ten spot or FLYER
II get sixty yards. If not less.
And then when I come to my second
And try for a powerful sock
I know that one thing can be reckoned-
I'll knock it right under a rockl %
Ny game IS a thing quite demented;
I feel bleak despair in my bones,
And this alone keeps me contented-
There's. after all, only one Jonesl
I lack any sense OF direction;
My Judgment Of distance is bad;
Each ball that I hit finds DETECTION
And leaves me disgustingly sad.
I'm worse with q niblick than putter
And can't do a thing with a cleek;
My clippings a failure, yes. utter,
And in any sandtrap I'm weak.
The boys at the club all ignore me,
Discussing my golf in low tones;
There's just this one happines for me-
There's only one golfer like Jonesl
I can't use a spoon with precision;
My iron that's marked Number Three
Just gaShes a large sized incision
In fairway or bunker or tee.
Some people insist I don't pivot
While others avert it's my wrist;
I frequently sink a big divot
And find that the ball I have missed;
I'd give up my fight for smooth action
And sink my bag weighed with stone
Except that I've this satisfaction
There's only one Robert Tyre jones'
