Milk Strike Breaks
Out Around Chicago
Against Govt Code
Pickets Fight Against
Robbery By Huge
Dairy Monopolies

CHICAGO, Sept. 5.-Breaking out
into milk strike similar to the recent
New York State strike, hundreds of
milk farmers picketed the roads lead
ing to Chicago today.
Several scab trucks were showed
into bitches by the striking farmers,
who are fighting against the starva-
ton prices. paid them for their milk
by the big milk monopolies, and
against the government milk code
policy of evaluating milk in two cate
gories, fluid and surplus" This Sys-
TEN drives down the farmers income
even lower than the published mini
mum prices" he is supposed to re-
ceive.
The Pure Milk Association, led by
reactionary leaders, is trying to break
the strike. Their solution is to raise
the retail price of milk in the cities
at the expense of the city workers.
The striking farmers are against this.
They want the big milk companies
to bear the burden by cutting their
huge profiets.

Strike Ties Up Shoe
Trade in BrOCktOn;
90 Per Cent Are Out
Protest Firing Work
ers for Non-Payment
of ALL Union Dues

BROCKTON, Mass, Sept IS
Shoe production in this city was
brought to a dead standstill when
more than 80 per cent of the shoe
workers walked out in protest against
the firing of members of the Broth
erhood of Shoe and Allied Craftsmen.
Attempts of NRA officials, and the
corrupt leadership of the A. F. Of J..
Boot and Shoe Workers Union to
effect settlement proved futile in
the face of the determination of the
strikers to continue the struggle until
all their demands are granted.
One of the significant features Of
this strike is the wholesale revolt
of the rank and file from the now
defunct Boot and Shoe Workers
Union, and the formation Of an in
dependent union which they are now
fighting to maintain.
The revolt started in 1923, when
the A. F. of l.. union revoked the
charters of a number of locals en-
gagged in an OUTLAW" strike. Since
then, the union, working hand in
glove with the bosses, put the entire
membership under dictatorship;
with the result that the Brotherhood
of Shoe and Allied Crafts was or
ganized with a program of militant
action.
When thousands of shoe workers
refused to pay dues to the A. r. Of
L. union, the bosses threatened then
with lay-off. but were frightened by
strike action.
On Sept. LIST, however, the bose:
again issued an ultimatum, that the
workers pay dues to the Boot ant
Shoe Union. When a number of mer
were fired, the entire industry walkee
out.

ers Industrial Union.
An A. F.. of L. disrupter was elected
by the workers. Huge attendances
were expected at the meeting held
last night at the South Chicago Croa-
tan Hall, and tonight at the Gary,
Indiana, Roumanian Hall.
Besides Weber and Clark, union
leaders, strikers spoke Urging the
building of the Steel and Metal
Workers Industrial Union.
There was an excellent response
from the workers in food and relief
and volunteering for picket duty.
Local newspapers like the Gary
Post-Tribune and the Chicago Tri-
bune, both closely connected with U.
S. Steel interests, attacked the strike
call, and called the S&MWIU an
OUTLAW union"
Local NRA officials, Kyne, and
Guthrdige of the A. F. of L. boiler
makers union, held conference with
superintendent Swanson trying tt
make a separate agreement for 20 A
F. of L. welders who joined the strike
The rank and file welders pledged
to continue the strike until a settle
ment is made with the SSJMWIU
leading all 500 strikerA
The spirit of the strikers is excel
lent, the wives of the strikers aiding
in clerical and relief work, confident
of victory ahead.
Greetings were received from the
striking steel workers in Greensburgh
Pa.
Workers in the Chicago steel dis
trict are closely watching the strike
preparing for similar action.

Emus Outwit Gunners

Not long ago, says the De-
troit NeWs, it was reported that
en,us. large ostrichlike birds,
were doomed in western Austria
liza on account of the depreda-
dations they were making on the
farmers crops in the Campion
Agricultural District. Lewis
machine gunners were to be sent
out by the Commonwealth De
fense Department to destroy the
depredating flocks.
According to the latest word
on the subject the emus aren't t
facing immediate destruction,
for they are proving more than
match for the machine gun
ners.
When the gunners first went
into the Campion District bent
on destroying large flocks of the
birds heavy rains fell, driving
the emus away from the farm
ing areas and into the bush
Later they came back, something
like 10000 strong, and the gun
ners were again called upon. But
by the time they had reached
the district the birds had become

North Cardinals Forests
(Rdleigh TtmeS)

The Presidents forestation
measure vitally affects North
Carolina, if the state can get its
lust allotment and if it is given
the consideration its history and
its condition suggest. The fed
eral government, when this is
read, probably will have been
committed to a program calling
for the annual expenditure of
200 million dollars to these ends.
The state, through the agency
of a forgotten man, Joseph Hyde
Pratt, and a modest one, j. S.
Holmes, has done a great work
in these respects, with results to
show. Now, primarily it ap-
pears, for the sake of aiding the
unemployed, the government it.
self is going into the thing in a
big way.
On paper, in the eye Of the
dreamer, our situation might be
called unique. 1t might be called
an example. 1t might be set up
as an illustration and offered as
the original laboratory.
"Tar, Pitch and Turpentine." "
That was what elementary stu
dents in geography once wrote
down as the industry of "The
Old North State" Where are
they now?
They are in our burned and
abandoned original pine forests.
They are indicated in savannas
of soured land, unfit for any use.
Changing the picture, they are
in the bald-headed mountains of
western North Carolina. They
are represented by a great bur-
den of untaxable land, millions
on millions of acres, robbed of
their value and thrown needless
ly into the lap of a people unable
to take care of them.
Here is a program indeed. The
trouble with it is that it looks
to the future generations, as we
all looked when everybody is
sued a bond and presented it to
posterity.
Posterity finally finds a hole
in the seat of it's pants.

so wary it was difficult to ap-
proach them. They kept more
than 1000 yards away from the
guns. and instead of appearing
by the hundreds as formerly
they ventured forth only in small
bands.
AS a last resort the gunners
set an ambush near a dam to
destroy the birds, but there was
no sign of them anywhere near
the place as long as the gunners
waited for them to put in their
appearance.
So far it appears that the
emus are at least one step
ahead in the battle Of wits.

Mrs. HickersOn Dies
Succumbs to Pneumonia; She Was Be-
loved by People of Chapel Hill

Mrs. Annie Hickerson died
last Friday at the Chatham Me-
mortal hospital in Elkin. She
had been taken there from her
home in Ronda Tuesday when a
deep cold turned into bronchial
pneumonia. She was in a coma
from that time on and so escap-
ed suffering.
The funeral was conducted at
the home Sunday afternoon by
Rev. 3. Nj. Lackey, rector of the
Episcopal church in Lenoir.
Mrs. Hickerson was born in
Missouri 78 years ago. Her ia
ther. Ripley Weaver, was a col
onel in the Confederate Army
and later was lieutenant goyer-
nor of Arkansas. Her husband,
who died Is years ago, was DR..
James H. Hickerson. He was a
native of North Carolina, and
when he retired from the prac-
tice of medicine in Arkansas
they came to live in his old
home at Ronda.
After 1921 Mrs. Hickerson
spent part of every year here
with her son, T. F. Hickerson,
professor of engineering in the
University. Her friendly and
! ilovable nature won the affection
of the people of Chapel Hill, and
| the news of her death brought
profound sorrow to her friends
in the village. They remember
her not only for her fine qualities
| of mind and heart, but for the
engaging manners and sprlght-
Illness that made her a charming
companion. When she left for
ROnda last month she told her
friends that she would come
back for Commencement, and
they looked forward eagerly to
her return.
She had great fondness for
flowers, and on fair days, both
here and in Ronda, she was con-
stantly about her gardening.
Another of her diversions was
knitting. Her neighbors mar
veled at the speed with which,
until her very last days, she pro-
duced stockings and sweaters
| for her acquaintances or for the
Red Cross.
She is survived by three sons !:
IF. r. Hickerson of Chapel Hill,
iLytle n. Hickers0n of Newport,
Tenn, and Robert l.. Hickerson
of Ronda; sister, Mrs. r. +.

The DOgwOOd Festival
1t Was a Great Success; Exhibit of
Arts and Crafts Was a Feature

The Dogwood Festival of last
Saturday was an even greater
success than expected. The
weather was ideal, the attend
ance was we'll up to anticipa-
tions, and the total receipts, al
though the admission was only
25 cents, were sufficient to
meet all expenses and to leave a
small fund for promoting the
event next year.
1t is fairly we'll settled that
the festival will become a big
annual event in Chapel Hill life
and one which both visitors and
toWnspeople will look forward
to. A meeting Of the executive
committee will be held Monday
evening to devise ways and
means for making the next fes-
tival even better than the first
Visitors came from all parts
of the state, and even from
other states, for cars parked
near the Forest Theatre bore
tags from South Carolina, Vir-
ginia, Maryland. and New York
What was originally planned
as side-line proved to be, by
the measure of attendance, the
main attraction. This was the
Arts and Crafts exhibit in the
Graham Memorial, a display of
more than 1900 articles, chiefly
made by North Carolina crafts
men. Well organized and ar
ranged, the exhibit drew crowds
all day long.
The exhibition of North Car
olina professional artists, which
will continue in the Hill Music
hall for another week, was also
a strong drawing card.
The combination Of these at
fractions with athletic events
the Garden Club tours, and
the Scout CampOree, lined the
village streets with 50 many
cars that at the noon hour it re-
minded one Of a football day.
In order to avoid conflict
with the Duke-Carolina track
meet, the festival program was
divided into two parts, one in
the morning and the other in the
afternoon. The morning pro
gram had as features the play
| ing Of folk-tunes and jigs by the
| CarrborO band, and the appear
ance Of Mary Jane Biggers
from the mountain country. who
sang several affecting ballads
and told something of her life
story. Few Of the visitors
knew, until they were told, that
she was Miss Muriel Wolfe OF
| Chapel Hill and the Carolina
Playmakers.
In the afternoon big hits were
made by the ballad singing Of
Mrs. Rebecca Jones Of the Eben-
ezer neighborhood. near Cary
who brought with her a lively
delegation Of singers and dane
ers; the playing Of Thor John
sons Student orchestra the
colorful dancing of pupils from
the Hugh MorsOn high school IN
Raleigh; and the square dances
which drew Bob House down
from the side Of the hill into the
thick of affairs on the platform
All the talent came from
| Chapel Hill or from districts not
more than an hours ride distant
and proved that next year the
festival committee will have
abundant material to draw upon
