Green Urges Unions to Take
Lead in Relief Work

Washington, D. C. (ILNS)-Presi-
dent William Green, of the American
Federation of Labor, has called upon
all central labor bodies to "organize
for participation in the community
work for relief-to take the initia-
tive, as we'll as to cooperate
At the same time President Green,
in a national radio broadcast, called
upon the rich to "give until they feel
the pinch" He demanded that they
make large contributions, eff neces-
sary, selling the contents of their
strong boxes"
"Our task is to meet the increasing
need for help which arises out OF
three consecutive winters of accumu-
lated distress and suffering affecting
more than thirty million people in a
most acute and direct way" Presi-
dent Green said.
Nations Security Imperilled
"It is not only the physical and ma
terial resources of more than eleven
million idle workers which have be-
come impaired. 1t is the losses in
those intangible values which enter
into the construction of character, the
maintenance of morale and the pres
ervation of courage and faith which
cause all thinking people grave con-
Germ. Where these basic assets of the
home community and the nation be-
come depleted the very security of our
civilization becomes imperilled.
"The pressing need of the moment
therefore,, is for all who can to con-
tribute money generously to commu-
nifty relief funds and to strengthen

Textile Industry May Nj
Abandon All Self-Rule
November Is Meeting Likely to See Victory for Suicidal
Competition -"Unthnkable" But No Way Seems at
Hand to Save Proposal for Betterment of Conditions
For Women and Minors

Philadelphia (ILNS) - Voluntary
self-regulation of the textile indus
try may be formally abandoned when
the Cotton-Textile Institute leaders
meet at Spartanburg, S. c., Novem-
Der Is.
For almost two years, officers of
the textile unions have charged that
the o-night-work- k-for-women-and mi
nors agreement which the Cotton
Textile Institute is sponsoring was be-
ing widely ignored or violated in
principal Southern textile centers.
The Cotton-Textile Institute has the
question formally before it as to
whether to cease all its efforts to-
ward achieving voluntary regulation
of production in this vastly override
veloped industry. After denying re-
peatedly that any considerable num-
ber of its members were employing
women and children to run night
shifts, the Cotton-Textile Institute
now admits officially that the whole
agreement is in jeopardy as result
of the action of certain number of
the manufacturers in doing that very
thing.
1t is claimed that 80 per cent of the
mills in the industry had been par
ties to the agreement. However, it
was also charged by other groups

LABOR LAUNCHES
DRIVE FOR BEER

Washington, D. C.-Matthew Woll,
chairman of labor's national commit
tee for modification of the Volstead
act, last Saturday announced drive
to change prohibitory state laws to
permit the sale of beer Immediately,
if and when congress modifies the
Volstead law.
Wolps organization operates un-
der instructions of the executive
council of the American Federation
of Labor.
"We are so confident of the i'm
pending success of our campaign
(for modifcation) Woll said, "that
we have set in motion a plan to
meet the situation in the various
states"
Woll distributed to all members
of his committee an analysis of the
legal situation in regard to beer in
each state. A report analyzing the
situation expected to obtain in the
coming short session of the old con-
gress and in the first session of the
| new will be issued.
The situation of the 48 states in
regard to prohibition was analysed by
Woll as follows:
Six-Maryland, New York, Massa-
chusetts, Wisconsin, Montana and
Nevada, have no restriction on liquor
production and could take immediate
advantage of any Volstead law
change.
Seven others-Connecticut, Louisi-
ana, New Mexico, Pennsylvania, Mis-
souri,, Minnesota and California, al
ready provide by law for accepting
the definition of Intoxicating bever-
age which may be adopted by con-
gress. The supreme court of Missouri
held this provision would constitute
unwarranted delegation of legislative
power to congress, so, Woll said, from
the legal standpoint there is doubt
about the matter.
Woll said referenda on repeal of
state enforcement acts would be held
in November in California, New Jer-
sey, Oregon, Washington, Louisiana,
and Michigan. Illinois in the past
voted by referendum to repeal it's dry
law, but the ensuing repeal action by
the legislature was vetoed by the
governor. He listed 18 states as hav-
ing constitutional prohibition: Ari-
zona Arkansas, Colorado, Florida,
Idaho, Kansas, Kentucky, Maine
Michigan, Nebraska, North Dakota,
Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, South Da-
kota, Utah, West Virginia and Wy
oming. Of these Wyoming will have

and support character building, faith
restoring social service agencies
whose help and assistance is SO bad
ly needed now.
Because am in a position to COM
prehend, in very large way, the Sc
rlous consequences which may follow
the failure of the individual to do his
full duty at this time, l appeal to all
to give as they have never given be-
fore. Those who are wealthy and
those who control wealth should ap-
praise the stern realities of the pres
ent situation. They should give abun-
dantly in order to save. They should
be extraordinarily generous in order
to protect. They must unloose their
purse strings as never before if our
economic and social institutions are
to be made more secure.
No Time to Quibble
"The average person, the masses,
those who labor must give even
though the giving may mean sacri-
flee. This is no time to quibble by
attempting to place the blame for ex-
isting economic and social ills. Mil
lions are hungry, suffering, cold and
in dire distress. We must share with
them. We must feed the hungry. We
must save self respecting men, women
and children from sinking into the
depths of despair.
Labor has always responded to the
cry of the unfortunate and it must
not fail them now. Each local com
munity must meet and discharge its
responsibilities. 1t should feel that
the care and protection Of it's dis.
tressed people is an obligation which
it must discharge and each individual
residing in the community must ap-
preciate the fact that the contribution
he makes represents civic duty
which he must perform. The work OF
the local relief agencies may be sup
plemented but it cannot be supplant-
ed. The prior lien is on the commu-
nifty. 1t should proceed as though nc
supplementary assistance would be
extended. 1t must not shirk its duty
or fail to discharge its obligations.

that this 80 per cent of the number
of mills did not represent anything
like 80 per cent of the production in
the industry. Furthermore, it was al
legged that the most dangerous night
work concerns did not come into the
agreement at all, and that there was
no hope of saving the pact when the
demand for cotton-textile products
increased.
George A. Sloan, director of the
institute, says it is "unthinkable" that
the industry will go back to the prac-
tice of using women and children un-
der 10 years of age to slave at the
spindles or the looms all night. How
ever, this is apparently just what is
being done in the absence of any leg
islation to prevent such vicious
abuses. And because their competi-
tors do it, the more "gentlemanly"
employers evidently have to follow
suit in order to be able to stay in
business. 1t is predicted by spokes-
men for textile labor that if the night
work agreement, hailed as huge for
ward advance, is abandoned at Spar
tanburg, that competition, now suffi-
GENTLY deadly, will become so ruinous
as to finally force legislation to bring
about minimum of stabilization in
the cotton textile industry.

Union Labor Opens Campaign
For State Modification

Apparently no move for any change
IN the law has been started in Flor
Ida, Idaho, Maine, New Mexico, Okla
homa, South Dakota, Utah or West
Virginia, but an initiative petition for
repeal is recorded in Colorado.
In the last session of the West Vir-
ginla legislature, a bill was passed
abolishing the prohibition depart
ment, and transferring the licensing
duties to the tax commission. This
was vetoed by the governor, and pass
ed over his veto.

organizations, in order to give the
movement the flavor Of being repre-
sentative.
Militant committees of action" are
called for in every place where the
unemployed gather and "every griev-
ance should become an issue for mill
tant action and struggle" And
countless neighborhood demonstra-
tions" are ordered previous to the
climax in the march to Washington.
Eight Columns Planned
Plans of the hunger march" call
for an advance in eight columns, with
fixed number from each state. Or
ganization is to be semi-military.
Medical units are provided for in the
plans and only those fit for the ordeal
are declared acceptable.
Sectional marches are scheduled to
start from Seattle, Sioux City, San
Francisco, Los Angeles, San Antonio,
New Orleans, Tampa, Buffalo and
Boston.
The bonus march organized by the
same national communist machine
will follow substantially the same
routes, though the farmer demonstra-
ton will not cover such wide field.
Under this program hundreds of
American cities will be kept in a tur-
moil of red propaganda for weeks
this winter, with one demonstration
after another, enroute to Washing
ton, or on the return, in addition to
whicblocal red organizations will carry
on a sustaining" program Of recur-
ring local demonstrations A para
mount aim of the reds is to enlist n
ther demonstrators as many non-reds
as possible, to lend a show of impor-
tance to the red leadership.
These marches ana recurring
demonstrations are in accord with in
structions issued from Moscow year
ago, and form part of the scheme
of training for revolution"

Necessary to Permit Sale Of Beer Following
Action ByCongress on VolsteadAct

Washington, D. c. (ILNS)-Organ-
lied labor's confidence in early modi-
fication of the Volstead act to permit
manufacture of beer has reached a
condition SO conclusive that machinery
has been set in motion in the states
for the purpose of bringing about
such changes in state laws as may be
necessary to permit the sale of beer
Immediately following action by con-
gress.
Announcement to this effect was
made here yesterday by Matthew
Woll, chairman of labor's national
committee for modification of the
Volstead act, which operates under
instructions of the executive council
of the American Federation of Labor
Chairman Woll has submitted a re-
port to members of his committee in
all states, so that they may know
their own state situation and so that
they may know how to proceed to

chusetts, Wisconsin, Montana and
Nevada-are without any statutory
or state constitutional restrictions on
liquor production, and could, there
fore, take immediate advantage of
any change in the Volstead act.
In addition to these, there are z
states, namely, Connecticut, Louisi-
ana, New Mexico, Pennsylvania, Mis-
souri,, Minnesota and Californian
which provision was made in their
state enforecemtn act that such def
milton of an Intoxicating liquor as
may be written into dry enactments
by the congress of the United States,
shall be considered as applicable to
enforcement in these commonwealth.
However, the supreme court of Mis-
souri, holds that this provision would
constitute an unwarranted delegation
of legislative power to congress, and
would, therefore, be illegal; so that,
from the legal standpoint, there is
some doubt about the matter. Assum-
ing, however, that this qualification
will hold, these states, together
with the 6 states previously men
toned, already have their houses in
order for the beer modification of the
Volstead act
In the November elections, refer
enda will be held in the following
states to repeal their state enforce
ment acts: California, New Jersey,
Oregon, Washington, Louisiana and
Michigan.
Is Bar by Constitution
Illinois voted by referendum to re-
peal its state enforcement act, and
the action of the people resulted in
affirmative action by the legislator, e
but this action was vetoed by the gov
ernor.
In Wyoming, which is constitution
ally dry, a referendum on repeal of
the eighteenth amendment will be
| held in November, and in the Texas
democratic primary, on July %, 1882,
there was an impressive majority for
the repeal of the eighteenth amend
ment.
/. Prohibition has been imbedded in
the constitution of the following Is
states: Arizona, Arkansas, Colorado,
Florida, Idaho, Kansas, Kentucky,
Maine, Michigan, Nebraska, North
Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon,

However, in 6 of this gorup, name

10000 VISIT CITY
FOR FETE OPENING
Morning Throngs Increasing
With Auto, Bus and
Train Arrivals.

More than 100000 visitors thronged
Washington this morning for the open
ing of the Bicentennial Celebration of
the birth of the First President. Thou
sands poured into the city by automo-
bile, bus and train.
During the last two days more than
$4,000 persons entered Washington
through Union Station alone, addi-
tional to the usual week end traffic.
Added to these were the bus travellers
and those who came to the Capital City
in private automobiles.
Police and Bicentennial ofncials ex-
pected the heavy automobile traffic
bearing visitors to the District to do
honor to George Washington to con-
tinue throughout the day. Many Of the
motorists from Maryland and Virginia
probably will not stay In the city over
night, 1t Is thought, but will return to
their homes at the conclusion OF to-
days ceremonies.
A survey Of both large and small
hotels showed that practically all are
filled to capacity, many OF the reserva-
tions having been made months In ad-
vance. Those unable to secure hotel
accommodations are turning to the
rooming houses and agencies such as
the Travellers Aid Society, the Y. M.
c. A. and Y. w. C. A. The room listing
service of the District Bicentennial Com
mission also is being utilized.
Two excursion trains from New York
two from Philadelphia. and several from
Baltimore arrived in Union Station this
morning, crowded to capacity. Several
extra trains from sections OF the East
arrived during the night and yesterday
and for the last several days all incom-
ing trains have had extra sections.
The bus companies likewise reported
extraordinarily heavy trafic on regular
lines in addition to many specially
charted coaches.
