Studied in New Light.
Among the white institutions several
definite results can be easily observed" !"
DR.. Woodson declared. In the first
place. the study Of the Negro has more
generally invaded their curricula. The
Negro is being studied by them as
constituent element of the social order
rather than as a burdensome problem.
Those institutions are demanding .
larger number Of books on the Negro.
The students are becoming more eager
to hear the story of well informed
Negroes themselves. Accredited insti-
tutions of the North have occasionally
rostrum to talk Of what often concerns
them as something from afar, but
Southern schools, nearer to the situa-
ton. are inviting Negroes to lecture be-
fore their student bodies on Negro life
and history, and they are doing it in
spite of the fact that the State laws
New Appreciation Develops.
"Just as the persistent urging Of q
nearer approach to the study Of the
Negro has thus influenced the whites
to be more kindly disposed toward the
race the movement has inculcated in
the minds Of the Negro a new apprecia-
ton Of himself. The reaction. how
ever, is not to be confused with the
imitation which often results from over
emphasis upon racial achievements
Such a result has been impossible
in the work of the association, since 1t
approached the question scientifically
By pointing out the Shortcomings as
have developed together in modern
times. Negroes today, looking at the
past to get inspiration from the good
and to avoid the evil, are in a better
position than ever to face the future
with new program to accomplish what
experience has shown that they have
failed to do"

SCHAlL CRITICIZED
FOR n. R. A. 'THRUSTS'
Gov. Olson, Who Resigned As Min
nesota Administrator, Says
Plan Is Workable,
BY the Associated Press.

ST. PAUL. Mimi October 2e.-Gov
Floyd B. Olson. Farmer-Laborite, today
criticized United States Senator Thomas
D. Schall, Republican, for the latter's
thrusts at the national recovery act
program.
The Governor made his attack in a
letter replying to one from Senator
Schall, who had "complimented" Gov.
Olson for resigning recently as N. r. A.
code administrator for Minnesota.
Gov. Olson said the Senator had
"misinterpreted" the reason and stated
he withdrew because proper boards had
been set up to handle N. r. A. func-
tions In Minnesota, which obviates the
necessity for further action on my part
Il believe the plan Of the N. r. A. to
be workable" the Governor added, but,
unfortunately, the Department Of Ag-
riculture has not kept step with Gen
Johnson's department. and its failure
to increase buying power Of the farmers
has endangered the entire program.
There are many fine citizens in the
United States who believe in the plan
and want it to succeed. On the other
hand, there are Q number Of political
guerrillas In this country. some holding
high ofiices. who are attacking the N.

him. His decision will be made within

MINERS STAY OUT

$1,000 Picket Shafts to
Which Their Return To-

BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
PITTSBURGH, october 2.-An N. r.
A. code for soft coal went into effect
today, but more than $4,000 Western
Pennsylvania miners remained on strike
demanding union recognition.
They turned from dozens Of hectic,
all-night meetings to picket the very
mines In which they were expected to
resume work after weeks Of idleness
No violence was reported. Their move
was prompted by announcement at
Washington that Hugh S. johnson, N.
r. A. chief, had failed in weekend
effort to bring operators and union
representatives into agreement.
The operators, still silent with re-
spect to union recognition. adopted an
attitude Of "watchful waiting"
At Clarion the huge Carnegie Steel
Co.'S by-product plant operated normal
ly. A few members Of the Amalga-
mated Association Of Iron, Steel and
Tin Workers picketed the entrances,
seeking a strike because of the failure
Of the operators to recognize their
union, but their number dwindled no.

one point long espoused by Wallace
reduction of next years corn production
by about 100000 acres, or approx
imately 20 per cent.
Theoretically this would curb the sup
ply Of corn and force its price upward,
with the effect that hog feed would be
more expensive. When corn Is expen-
sive, farmers tend to market It, rather
than to feed 1t to hogs, unless hog
prices rise proportionately. Thus, with
high priced corn, proponents Of the
plan reason, fewer hogs would be bred,
fed and marketed, with the result that
the supply Of swine would be reduced,
tending to improve its prices.
Discussion Continued.
Members Of the committee conferred
with Wallace Saturday, and discussions
were to be continued today. Provisions
Of the Producers Committee plan In
clude:
A campaign starting soon after No
vember / and ending January Is, to
obtain agreements from farmers to cut
their corn paintings for harvest next
year, with provision for a similar cam
paign, If necessary, in 1885. Reduction
OF paintings by 2O,000,000 acres would
be the goal, and unless agreements COW
ering 100000 acres were signed by
mid-January, the program would be
dropped.
Payments to farmers would be on
the basis of 80 cents q bushel of the
potential yield Of acres taken out of
production. Farmers who signed would
have to agree to minimum reduction
Of 20 per cent in acreage.
$500, ,o0o, 900 Net Seen.
The benefit payments would be paid
out Of fund to be raised by a process
ing tax of 50 per hundredweight on
hogs, out of which would also be paid
about $40 1000 900 which the recent
emergency purchasing program of little
pigs and sows cost. The 50 tax, 1t is
estimated, would raise about $780,
100000
Contracts would also be offered to
hog producers, usually corn producers
also, to reduce production. Those who
agreed would be paid benefit Of 81
per hundredweight on all hogs weigh
Ing less than 220 pounds between next
November / and June l, 1884.
The manner Of assuring the pay
ment of the minimum price is one Of
the most drastic proposed for any COM
modify. The Producers Committee
suggested 1t be done by marketing
agreements with packers. or. in event
they would not agree, by licensing them
under the farm act and requiring them
to pay the minimum.

Immediately resume operations.
This request Is made in the ma

sity Of an immediate resumption OF
work
They are advised that under the
provisions of the bituminous coal code
the men will have the right of appeal

the National Bituminous Coal Board
and the administrator of the national
industrial recovery act.'
When johnson and Lewis met, there
was no indication Of how much progress
had been made to emerge from the
deadlock between miners and officials
Of the country's big steel companies who
have refused formal recognition Of the
miners union at the pits they own.
Compromise Proposed.
Johnson was seeking acceptance by
the miners of a compromise whereby the
steel companies would deal with mine
employees through union officials, grant
them all the privileges enjoyed by union
labor OF the surrounding territory. but
without recognition of the union itself.
The proposition had been put for
ward by the steel men themselves.
A conference last night between
johnson and Lewis failed to develop an
agreement. At the end Of this discus
sion it was said the negotiations are
proceeding" Other than that they
were silent.
The compromise agreement laid be-
fore Lewis had received previously the
tacit approval of Myron Taylor and
Eugene Grace, heads of United States
and Bethlehem Steel Corporations.
They took it back to New York to lay
before more representative meeting.
Preparing Summonses.
The first action by the N. R. A.
against manufacturers accused OF Sky
rocketing" prices was announced yes
terday by Johnson He said sum-
monses are being prepared requiring
certain manufacturers Of overallS and
other wearing apparel to answer. in
public hearings. charges that they have
boosted their prices from 100 to 200
per cent. with the explanation that the
increased costs are due to the cotton
textile code.
Deputy Administrator Arthur D.
Whiteside will conduct the hearings
which will be based on scores Of COM
plants from retailers The date of
the hearings has not been set.
Johnson is still studying the master
retail code for general retailers and
the trade charter for druggists. Faced
with opposition from the Agricultural
Adjustment Administration and con-
sumers' spokesmen of the N. R. A.,
Johnson is examining closely the pro-
visions for regulating prices to end the
sale of "loss leaders" by some stores.
Under this practice losses are taken on
some articles to attract customers.
