mand at end Of September was hold
ing up well. Tire output in August,
while smallest in five months, was
at the highest August level since 1923.
POWER@Steady and continued advanc-
es in electric consumption have been
registered in practically all parts of
the country.
CHEMICALS-Activity has been affected
by declining production in the major
productive lines which constitute the
market for chemicals. Demand was
dull SO far as paints and varniShes
were concerned, with a seasonal in
crease in alcohol orders. Prices have
been firm.
FARM-The August wheat movement,
because of the short crop, was COM
paratively slight. The months re-
ceipts were down II per cent as COM
pared with July, and wholesale wheat,
prices declined. Corn prospects were
slightly better. Hog receipts were
much higher than before, and sheep
and lamb receipts likewise showed
improvement. Butter receipts showed
the usual seasonal decline.
FOOD-Production in the food process
ing industry declined 8 per cent in
August, with allowance made for the
customary seasonal change. How
ever, activity was s per cent above
agar ago, and employment and pay
roll levels were encouraging.
LUMBER-Curtailment in receipts of
new orders has caused an increase
in stocks on hand and a l~essening
of production. Prices continue to adj
vance, as do payrolls and employment
IRON AND STEEL-Steel production
declined during August, and a still
sharper drop followed during first
half of September. Orders have
come in slowly. Untitled orders Of
U. S. Steel at end of August were
lowest since April.
TEXTlLES-Though production has
slackened, August production was the
best for that month since 1929. The
Textile code has produced substantial
gains in payrolls and employment.

THE BEST PROTECTION AND
THE BEST INVESTMENT TOO

No better protection than life insur-
ance has ever been discovered" writes
Paul Tomlinson, financial editor of Harp
er,s Magazine, in the September issue.
N better protection exists today"
Thousands of Americans will say
Amen" to that. The past three years
have been great enlighteners SO far as
what to do with ones money is concern
ed. They've demonstrated that economic
law cannot be forever frustrated that
you can't double your money in a year
or two and still be on the safe and con-
~servatlve side. All of this has been an
expensive lesson.
And now that recovery is on it's way,
the statistics are pointing to a gratifying
increase In sales of life insurance. In
the mind of the average citizen, a life
policy. is more than the best protection
1T is likewise one of the very best in
vestments. In one or another of it's
forms, it offers him what all investments
are designed to provide - money for
ones old age, the building of an estate,
education for ones children, and so on
and it offers him the highest attain
able degree Of safety.
The chance is most negligible that a
lie insurance policy, purchased from an
established, old-line company, will not be
redeemed precisely as the contract desig-
mates.

THE COMMUNISTIC PARTY AND IT'S RELA-
TIONS TO THE NEGRO
Py nj. L.. Harris

At the meeting held in the interest Of the
S~cOttsborO boys last Tuesday night, many things were
said in the speech delivered by Richard d. Moore in
his masterful appeal to the people of Omaha, that is
at least worthy of serious thought.
The Negroes have for SO long been exploited by
the republican and democratic parties as well as self
appointed and so called leaders, he knows not where
to fly. The great mass of the Negroes are praying
and waiting for leadership. It is not true as is often
heard expressed that the Negro will not follow leader
ship. He will follow, but it must be of the right type,
one Invested of every toto of selfish interest and self
ish agrandizement. "A leadership which not only will
suffer the pangs of hunger, scorn and calumny for
their sake, but if needs be will sacrifice his life on the
alter of service. The Negro is SO hedged round and
about by so many leaders each of which is propos-
ing a panecea for every i'll which besets him he knows
not whether it is best to endure the pangs and darts
of an outrages fortune or take up arms and by oppos-
ing end them"
Every change for good which has ever been es-
tablished in this old world was by the social radicals,
Christianity was established by the greatest radical
that ever lived. These United States was formed by
radicals. The chains was struck from the hands of four
million slaves by radicals. If the fight which is being
made for the lives Of the Scottsboro boys and for equal

INTERRACIAL RELATIONS CON

By M. L. HARRIS

At the meeting of the Interracial Re-
latlon Conference which was held Friday
october 70, at the Y. M. C. A.. 18th and
Harvey, and that night at the Zion Ran
list church, 22nd and Grant streets. ouite
q few addresses were delivered on G11es-
tlonS OF grave Importance, effecting tha
relaClons OF whites and blacks alike. It
may be that this movement of TntnrraciaI

Win the aims and purposes of this or
ganlzatlon and watched it's functions in
other parts of the country, it was both
surprising and disappointing that so few
Of the citizens found time to attend. es-
peclally is this true of the whites.
AS we understand it, the purpose Of
thls organization is to bring about a bet
ter understanding between the races
olack and white, especially in matters
having TO do with the industrial and eco
nomlc status. In the address of DR.. Geo
=. Haynes, Executive Secretary Of De-
partment Race Relations, and Federal
council OF Churches Of America. of Wash
1ngton, D.. g., delivered Friday NIGHT at
Alon Baptist church, he stressed the ne
cesslty OF the whole hearted support of
tne people IN assisting the President in
putting over the NRA program. He fur
ther explained the hard task encountered
upon those who are fighting to keen the
wages OF Negro workers on a parity with
tnat OF other workers, while all of which
IS proper and right, but there is a great
auty the Negro owes to himself. AS has
oeen SAID: He who would be free must
strike the first blow" which saying is ex-
emplll1ed IN the struggles of the Colonies
with England also in the case Of Cuba
and the Philippines against Spain. Had
the Colonies waited for France to lead
the hight against the unjust system Of tax
alton without representation, there would
nave never been drafted the Declaration
OF independence. Lafayette would have
never sailed from France with his troops
to assist the Colonies, had not Cuba
struck the first blow against the TYRANNY
OF Spain and Gen. Wheyler the butcher"
and oppressor, the u. S. would never have
come to her assistance and they would
still be groaning under the heal of Spain.
As it was with them so is it with us. If
we are to take our place in the sun which
was once ours, we must strike the first
blow. True we invite assistance and help
from our white friends, but the assistance
we get depends in a large measure upon
the degree in which we contribute to the
solution Of our own problems. If VIZ per-

years business has cut costs, raised ef-
ficiency, and redoubled its efforts to give
the best value at the lowest cost. Govern
ment, as a whole, has failed to follow.
It is very possible that the recovery
movement win, in the near future, reach
a point where it cannot go further with
out tax reduction. Some Of the money
that now goes for government must be
released into the channels Of productive
enterprise, to provide jobs and opportuni-
ties and the means of expanding bust
ness. And those who are now entrusted
with government management, from fed
eral right down to the smallest hamlet,
should be busy planning the way to do
just that.

ton Of our energy, time and money to the
solution Of our problems, we can expect
only a ~perfunctory response from our
white friends. At the present time the
local branch Of the National Association
for the Advancement Of Colored People
are making an intensive membership
drive here in Omaha. Not only are people
Of our group being solicited for member
ship, but every man and woman of the
white race, who believes in equal oppor-
t~unities, justice and fair play is also be-
ing asked to join.
AS Negroes we should not forget that
as we pray for fairness and justice, so
must we be unto others. We have for
years suffered from unjust persecution.
1t is not then consistent to the attributes
of mercy for which we pray that we
should practice towards others that from
which we have for years suffered and
died, be they white or black. Therefore,
we should not take advantage of any
mans condition, for reasons not consis-
tent to the principles Of justice and fair
play, which only appeals to the lower pas
sions Of envy, hate, prejudice and mis-
understanding.

CO-OPERATIVES VICTORIOUS

At the moment, the position of the
farmer is mixed. On the one hand, def
mite progress has been made in clarifying
his problem and taking steps towards
it's solution. On the other, farm income
has failed to rise to the extent that was
anticipated.
In most instances, the farm prod
ucts which are having the best experience
are those which are represented by
strong, we'll established, Loyalty supported
co-operatives. The cotton producers Of
the south are an excellent example Of
this = it is not too much to say that the
future outlook for cotton is better now
than for many moons past. The milk
producers Of New York are still another
= there the cooperative, in the face Of
violence and sabotage, said to be largely
of c~ommunistic origin, is bringing order
out of chaos. The walnut growers Of
California also demonstrate the sound
ness Of cooperative methods. All these
groups are winning a battle against de-
preston which was started years ago.
AS a matter of fact, it is doubtful if
the governments farm relief program
would have much chance for success with
out the co-operatives. They are acting
as an intermediary between the govern
ment and the producers they are in a
position to explain and to clear up prob
lens and to settle misunderstanding.
They will probably be called upon to do a
large amount Of necessary policing, to
protect the progressive farmer against
his radical fellows. And they are extern
slvely called upon, in an advisory capaci-
ty, whenever a change in government pol
Icy is contemplated.
Yes, The co-operatives are forging
ahead and at a faster rate than is gen
orally realized. While rewards are ap-
pearlng now - their greatest achieve
ments are still ahead of them.
TAXES - BARRIER TO RECOVERY
How great is the influence Of Excess
slve taxation in retarding and
IN preventing employment and wage in
creases that would otherwise be provid-
ed?
The answer is that it's influence is
very great indeed. The most public spir-
tied business man alive can't spirit dollars
out OF the air. He can't wave a wand and
produce the wherewithal for new Jobs
and pay raises out of his hat. He has
50 much spending power and of late,
IN the average case, increases in income
nave been more than offset by increases
IN MS operating costs. He has fixed ex-
penses, which can't be pared. The diff
ference between those expenses and in
come is what he has to spend,
Nowadays, an extremely - often ex-
I~orelonately high percentage of the
o11erence must be paid to the tax-coalect-

ers, private citizens like yourself, men and
women who have their own homes, their
own businesses and their own interests,
will start out going from house to house,
from office to office, interviewing people
and securing pledges toward a goal of
$603, 1876 to finance the welfare and relief
needs of Omaha for the coming year.
Whether it is below zero or whether it
is mild: wheather it rains, SHOWS or is
clear this huge army will journey forth.
Why do they do it? They are not paid
money. They receive little public recog-
milton for their work. They are not
bound by any written creed. Perhaps
it is only because they know:
That there are from one to two
thousand dependent families whose de-
tendency is due to some other reason than
unemployment, who cannot receive help
through Federal funds and who must be
cared for by Community Chest agencies.
That some means must be found to
provide food and shelter for eight humid
red to a thousand homeless men who must
be cared for each night at the Homeless
Mems Bureau;
That next year there will be more
than five hundred helpless, orphan child
rem for whom someone must make pro-
vision;
That from fifty to a hundred crippled
children must be provided with the medi-
cal services and the convalescent care
necessary to give them an equal chance
with others;
That the Visiting Nurses who last
year made almost 60 thousand calls will
have an ven greater job to do next year;
That baby clinics and ummer camps
for under-privileged children must be con-
tinued, and that homes for the aged and
invalids must be supported;
That agencies for the building Of
good citizenship and the wise use Of leis-
ure time must be maintained for the use
of the boys and girls and unemployed men
and women;
That the need this year is greater
than ever before; that those who can,
must give more generously, and that new
givers must be found to take the places
of many who gave last year but who this
year are dependent themselves.
There is nothing in the history of
Omaha quite like the Community Chest
Campaign. There is no movement you
could be connected with of which you
could be more proud. There is no need
that is more vital.

Happenings that Affect the Dinner Pals,
Dividend Checks and Tax Bills of Every
Individual. National and In~ternatiOn-
al Problems Inseparable From
LncaI Welfare
Local Welfare

Industrial activity, In spite OF the ap-
pearance of some downward tendencies,
is continuing at a comparatively high
rate. In August, production was more
than so per cent greater than in August,
1882. In July, production reached its
peak, when it was equal to the 1923-25&
average.
Price advances, which started with
the first manifestations Of recovery, con-
tinued through September. The cost of
living has accordingly risen. An excep-
ton to the general trend is farm prices,
which have declined. One of the best Of re
cent signs is that the wide discrepancy
between production and consumption,
which confused the outlook a short time
ago, is narrowing.
Latest information concerning basic in
dustries shows:
DOMESTIC TRADE-Both wholesale
and retail increased in August, in
both volume and value. Department
store sales were we'll above the Aug
ust, 1892, level. = s
EMPLOYMENT-Though production de-
clined somewhat in August as coma
pared with July, payrolls and employ
ment continued to improve - the adj
vances being carried into September.
1t is estimated that 100000 persons
found work in August, and the Sep
TENDER experience when detailed,
may be still more favorable.
COMMODITY PRICES-The advance in
prices, with the exception Of RETAIL
slackened in August and September.
Retail prices rose s per cent between
August | and September l - the
greatest monthly advance in a decade.
CREDIT-The most significant recent
change in the credit situation is that
o~pen-market purchase Of u. S. Gov
eminent securities by the Federal Re
serve has increased. Purchases rose
to a weekly rate of $4,000, COO, as
compared with $1,000 900 previous
ly. The Federal credit expansion
drive, which includes liberating of
assets in closed banks, is apt to work
sudden and unexpected changes.
SECURITIES-Market action has been
ally speaking, stock prices have fuc-
tuated with exchange quotations
on the dollar. Among bonds, high
grade domestic issues have stood up
well, and issues of foreign gold
standard countries have advanced.
FOREIGN TRADE-Exports have de-
clined and imports increased The
outlook for increased exporting is not
bright at the moment.
Observation-Disclosures jumped %
per cent in August, due principally
to public works and utility undertake
ings. Building activity, however, is
lower than it was last year or the
year before.
TRANSPORTATION-There was a con-
traseasonal decline of six per cent in
freight traffic in August, and the de-
cline continued through September.
However, comparison with the
months preceding July, and with
1892, are still favorable.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS schedules
dropped in September, but less than
was anticipated. The decline in re-
tail sales has been less than seasonal
trends would have indicated. De

Pleased with the results of the Salvation Army drive for funds which has more than passed the halfway mark, Capt R. B. Lesher suggests that the remainder of the fund may be supplied by $1 volun- tary, contributions from those who have net been reached by the Army canvass.
 "Six hundred and forty dollars have been donated toward the $1,- GOO goal, in pledges or cash. If 300 or 400 of the many people who have not been reached, will donate the sum of $1 each to the Salvation Army, the drive will be the success it has always been in Juneau" Capt. Lesher said.
