SPOT
By STANLEY BIGELOW

Funny how q little fellow can
literally muscle his way to sue
cess while many a big bozo folds
up with the exertion of making
his first slap at the tickle jade.
There's John r. Clarke-Johnny.
they call him in Washington radio
studios. Johnny is split pint In
size, but what energy! He's only
Q kid in years, but he's wise
enough to know If guy has the
goods, plus the stamina to
make folks sit UP and listen to
his tale Of woe, he'll grab the
chocolate eclair every time.
Johnny had a yen for singing
He'd listen in to the popular
radio crooners when he ought to
have been in bed. With the en-.
thousiasm Of youth, he deter
mines he, too, could knock EN-
Tor a loop as tonsilar tenor.
So he learned to play the uku-
1ele, haunted the Capital studios
to learn the technique of broad
casting, and finally convinced a
local program director he was all
to the bananas.
They gave him break-and
the kid made good. Now Jimmy
Clarke is billed as The Grooming
Virginian," and he has a soft
spot with the television outfit at
W3XK, Wheaton.
Not only that, but Clarke has
built up an instrumental outfit
known as The Shenandoah Ha-
waiians." They'll be on W3XK
tonight at 1890.

Vice President r. j. Chapman, of the
Brotherhood of Railway Clerks, has
been in conference with G. Walter
Hanger, Of The u. S. Board of Medi-
alton, and with officials of the New

The issue arises out Of the New

into its organization the Michigan
Central and the Cleveland. Cincinnati,
Chicago and st. Louis railroads.
1t is said that unless the Brother
hoods negotiations are successful the

dismissal of 155 clerks and removal
of 858 clerks and their families to new
homes in other cities Employees who
would be involved in the general
shifting now live in New York, Det-
roit, Cleveland and Cincinnati
While this dispute is on the boards
1,107 railroad employees and their
families are moving from this city
an dts suburbs to Cleveland, because
of the transfer of offices of the Erie
road OF these 1873 have gone and the
remainder expect to have completed
the transfer by late September Most
of the Erie employees live in nearby

U. S. LUMBERMEN
WAKING UP

New Orleans (ILNS)-Co-opera-
tion in American business is more
necessary today than ever before be-
cause of the interdependence of va
rious lines of manufacturing and be-
cause Russia is "out to wreck the
world markets." said Walter H.
Scales, manager of the New Orleans
office of the National Lumber Manu-
facturers' Association "We know
positively that Russian lumber on
which there has been complaint comes
from seized lands costing the Russian
government nothing, and that the
lumber is produced by convict or
forced labor.
Russia is out to wreck the COM
petitive markets to gain entrance for
her products. She has wrecked the
Scandinavian and Finnish lumber
industries, demoralized Wester
Europe's lumber market, and put that
of England into turmoil"
Mr.. Scales also pointed out that
Russia is considering exporting cotton
to the United States under similar
conditions, and asked what effect this
might have upon Louisiana, if CO.
operation of business and the govern
ment is not realized to prevent it.

Tremendous interest has been

New York City (ILNS)-At a
meeting of the emergency committee
of the U5ited Textile Workers of
America held at headquarters here,
President Thomas F. Mcmahon an
nounced that reports submitted from
organizers and local officers through
out the textile industry indicate a
condition which threatens the future
of the industry, and one which de-
mands the immediate consideration of
employers and their organizations.
"The United Textile Workers of
America" he said, "has advised all
local unions, North and South, to con-
centrate their efforts on the adoption
of the maximum 48-hour work week
and if the employers refuse to accept
the proposal, then, organized and un-
organized textile workers should
leave the mills and establish the
shorter work day and work week
themselves"
President Mcmahon stated that the
proposal of the maximum 48-hour
work week should do more to stabil-
ize the industry, regulate wages and
prices, and assist materially in the
elimination of cut-throat competition
and the destructive policy pursued
by some employers in cutting wages
and prices for their own personal gain
than anything he knows of. He said
the plan would give steadier employ
ment to the workers. The employ
ers who are fighting organized labor,
running long hours on low wages, ex-
plotting not only the workers but the

collective bargaining, but it maintains
its grip, its membership and its right
to protect its members against yellow
dog contracts. 1t is all important
that the union was the instrument
through which the strike was ended
and the men who return to work will
return as union members.
Best Could Get, Says FIore
"We do not feel so keen over the
settlement that we got" said Presi-
dent Edward FIore, in statement to
the membership, but he added that in
view Of all things it was the best that
could be had. Flore transmitted to
the membership copy of letter
from President Koones, of the Hotel
Association, to U. S. Condliator
Bendheim, in which abandonment Of
the individual contract was specified
as having been in effect and in which
maintenance of wages was agreed to.
1t also stipulated that there would be
no discrimination against strikers in
filling vacancies.

HOFFMAN GETS
PRISON SENTENCE
AS STRIKE SEQUEL
Conspiracy" Charges Pat
termed Like JOseph's Coat
Lead to Long Term Order
for Hosiery Organizer,
With Appeal Filed.

Stroudsburg, Pa. ULNS)-Alfred
'Tiny" Hoffman, Full Fashioned Hos
iery Workers organizer, has been
sentenced to prison again.
Hoffman was ordered to serve two
years and to pay fine of S1,750 by
Judge Samuel E. Shull, after the
Judge had refused to order new
trial. Hoffman was convicted on va
rious charges-conspiracy being the
good old standby charge-in which it
was alleged that the organizer con
spired to assault, commit malicious
mischief and tamper with automo-
biles. Notice of appeal was filed and
Hoffman was released on $4,000 bail.
The charges grew out Of the strike
against the Mammoth Hosiery Mills
Hoffman's attorney pleaded with the
court against the sentence. He main
tanned that Hoffman had legal posi-
ton with the union and had advised
the strikers against violence or any
unlawful acts.
Hoffman has had rough treatment
at the hands of the law in other
strikes. He, with Edward F. Nc
Grady, was "deported" from Eliza
bethton, Tenn, by some of that
towns "best people" during the strike
against the rayon barons of that city,
crime for which no one has been
either arrested or punished Hoffman
served sentence in South Carolina
because of strike efforts.
Hoffman's breat bulk has earned
him the nickname 'Tiny"
Hoffmans attorney assailed the
testimony of Mrs. Nellies Miller, after
witness for the state, as unreliable
and incompetent because she was the
wife of one of the slayers of Alberta
Bachman."
The Bachman girl, striker and
Sunday school teacher, was Shot
fatally early in the strike. Her al
legged slayers are free on bail.
The lawyer attacked credibility of
the states other witnesses on the
grounds their employment by the
Mammoth mill following their deser-
ton of the strikers ranks, robbed
their testimony of disinteredness.

he said.
1t was announced that the Associ-
ated Silk Workers, formerly an inde-

Year. Old Cleveland Waters
Lockout Abruptly Ended
Musicians and Engineers Also End Long Fight
Big Hotels, Battered by Long Struggle, Worried BY
Bondhoders, Agree to End Individual Contract

Cleveland (ILNS) The lockout of
cooks and walters, in which the Mu-
sicians and stationary engineers join
ed, came to an abrupt end late last
week after having lasted since July
Is, 1880. The ending Of the strike
is at least a moral victory for the
unions, though the anti-union Asso-
ciated Industries of Cleveland, Inc,
is doing it's best to continue the ha-
tired business and to minimize the
value of the union achievement.
The strike was ordered ended after
International President Edward Flore
met with the cooks and walters and
announced to the members the terms
on which the battle could be stopped.
While there may be "off the record"
understandings the chief known gain
is the adjustment of the individual
contract by the big hotels. That hate
full instrument is definitely out of the
picture. 1t is understood that union
cooks and walters will be employed
as rapidly as possible, though the ho-
tells are making the old stall about
holding their present employees.
COnciliatOrs Were Helpful
United States labor department
conciliators played long and patient
part in the ending of the conflict. The
department has had A. J.. Faulkner
and Charles Bendheim here and it was
Bendheim, says Faulkner, who finally
got into conference with w. Stiles
Koones, president of the hotel asso-
citation and manager Of the Hotel
Winton Koones does the high hat
business and says he had no confer
ences, but Bendheim gives the dates
and places of several meetings. The
first of these, Bendhelm said, was
July IA, at the Winton.
Faulkner let's important light on
the question of why the big hotels
got weak knees after being picketed
for more than a year. He says the
bondholders were insisting strongly
that something be done. The pickets
had not missed day and it is con-
ceded that their work worried the
hotels. Several big conventions re-
fused to go to Cleveland while the
strike was on.
The international Union says the
strike required the expenditure of
S165,00 of which 100000 came out
of its own treasury. During the late
weeks of the strike the union leaders
have been critical of the slowing up
of help from other organizations.
Acted in Support
Musicians and engineers had no
grievance of their own and as con-
sequence have none to settle with the
ending of the fight. Their action is
regarded as forming brilliant page
in the history of trade union solidar-
ity.
1t is believed certain here that no
other group of big hotels has ever
been subjected to such long, vigor-
Gus and costly battle as the Cleveland
hotels have been subjected to by the
three unions III this conflict. 1t is be-
lieved no similar hotel group will care
to risk such conflict after the expe-
rience of the hostelries here, and it
is believed the Cleveland hotels would
not care for repetition.
In ending the strike the union was
compelled, for the time, to abandon

nouncements to make. One thing is
sure: Labor is determined to win this
battle for several reasons. One rea-
son-the prime reason--is the restor-
alton of freedom destroyed by Vol
steadism. Another is the vast amount
of employment involved. 1t is amaz-
ing that at time when employment
is so sadly needed our country should
remain Indifferent to this vast vol
ume of employment which could be
made available almost overnight"
