surance That Difficulties
Will Be Adjusted

Chicago, Nov. 29.-{P)-The strike
of approximately 5000 workmen at
the Union Stocxyards was settled early
Wednesday. at least temporarily. when
the employer organization agreed to q
Topper cent wage increase pending
further negotiations. Within a few
minutes after the agreement was
reached pickets were withdrawn and
the strikers started back to their jobs.
A parley, beginning at midnight
Tuesday, arranged by Robert M. Hut
chins, president Of the University Of
Chicago and chairman of the Chicago
regional board Of the NRA, brought
about the agreement, which was re-
garded as a partial victory for the
stock yard workers, who had demand
ed a return to the 1929 wage scale, an
increase of about so per cent over the
pay they have been getting in recent
months.
The agreement provided. among
other things, that. all men are to be
re-employed without discrimination
and that, while further negotiations
are in progress, any points on which
the affected parties are unable to
agree are to be submitted to the
regional labor board for mediation.
Continue Negotiations
Other points in the agreement pro-
vide for the launching of negotiations

In regard to disputes involving
wages the agreement provides that
any increases are to be made retro
active from the date the men return
to work.

in time to prevent the enforcement Of

DETROIT'S NEGRO VOTERS

The primary election will take place October 10,
only about two weeks from now An unusually large num-
Der of candidates, from mayoraty asprants all the
down the line, seeking election In looking over the
long list, should select with the and women
for whom cast ballots.
There are approximately 100000 registered colored
voters in Detroit This is powerful vote, and If wisely
and properly used it is capable of eliminating many Of
local economic civic and industrial disadvantages
For years it has been the policy OF many politicians
in the South fan hatred at election time and stir
up the Negro issue certain means of being voted into
office The suggestion that the Negro might gain
political there sufficient to bring out flood of
white votes for the politician who promises TO uphold
white supremacy The fact that the majority of colored
citizens in that section DISTINGUISHED under the
-'Grandfather Clause and similar laws is usual
~ lost sight of in the heat of elections in the South
Here in the North especially in Detroit, white pot
icians do rule appeal prejudice election
time but of them do appeal to what they believe
to be Negro psychology
One of the candidates in the approaching primary,
for example, expects capture votes by telling
she friend to noted people who friends to Negroes
Another office seeker sympathecally reminds that
have Negro inmates at Jackson Prison.

nay inclined than other racial groups but rather be-
cause we are more prosecuted Still third candidate
to believe should vote for him. because he
born and reared in Abe I1ncolns home town
1t is true, such appeals may win the votes of
colored citizens but not a great many.
Colored voters in Detroit and demand some
thing tangible and substantial than political
promises and expressions of friendship and sympathy
Thousands of our people here out of work and
not afforded equal opportunity with others in seeking

The ballot is the only weapon have, with which
combat and remedy these undesirable conditions The
time to the ballot to better lot in life We
must ask and find the to these questions:
VIII the candidates seeking our votes,a give us /
a square deal?
VIII they exert every effort to curb the needless
murder of Negroes by policemen Will they give coored
citizens equal opportunity with others in seeking and
securing employment city construction projects and
in the various city departments?
These questions of vital Importance to We
want and women in office, who will help adjust

FASHIONS
THE CEDAR CHEST

Fine feathers makes fine birds"
That's n traditional saying, but In
order to keep the fine feathers fine,
they must be we'll taken care of.
Personal vanity is something
that everyone should have all the
time; whether dressing for the
street, a social, or TO stay at home.
Now is the time to start, while
packing away the summer clothing
and unpacking for fall and winter.
The summer clothes are easily
stained or soiled; therefore care
full examination should be taken
OF each article before packing. Re-
move all stain, mend where IL is
needed, clean and see that shields
and snaps are in place where
necessary. When spring and sum-
mer comes again II shouldn't be
necessary to take time off and
mend or sew, or possibly destroy
beause of moths.
] Good clothes are just as mex
pensive as cheap ones in the du-
ration of time and vice versa.
Cheap garments demand more care
and expensive cleaning TO keep in
a wearable condition than good
ones. II is always an advantage 10
educate yourself in the art of care
and cleaning process OF the fab
RIGS used. Nobody would think OF
wearing stockings more than once
without laundrying, the same
should apply to other articles OF
the wardrobe.
| Remember, II you have to wear a
rag, let II be clean and mended to
the best OF your ability.
Shirt Waist and MiddIes
Shirt waist styled blouses are
here again with the sewed in girdle
belts at the normal waist line
They are very pleasing and in al
unique styles and designs. AS us

ways welcomed both by young anc
old.
The embroidered satin blouse
gives an artistic distinction to any
wearer. You have the choice OF tn,
richly Chinese style OF embroider,
or the simple feminine fagottinr
designs, either is very becoming
and chic.
II you have an eye for MILDLY
blouses, then a velveteen blouse oil
this style, slightly modified, is
just what you should wear on the
