drop his secret conferences with the
N. r. A. officials and with the priest
Curran. Mass marches are being ar
ranged. Steps are being demanded
for unity with the rank and file Of
the U. NJ. W. A. who support the
strike.
Rank and File Demands
The Rank and File Opposition de-
mandS are gaining ground These
demands include mass picketing,
open defiance Of the injunction,
mass marches; united front strike
committees in the coIlieries where
there are members of both unions
on strike; fight for the economic
demands Of the miners as the basis
for the strike, including mainten-
ance Of the cOlliery rate sheets as
a part Of any strike settlement be-
fore the men return to work; aboli-
ton of the check off and the in
stitution of the voluntary dues
system; no discrimination; no COM
pulsOry arbitration; unemployment
relief and insurance for the unem-
ployed miners.
The strike has demonstrated that
in spite Of open strike breaking ac-
tivities Of the state and national gov
eminent, in spite of the U. M. w. A.
bureaucracy's scabherding and the
treachery Of MaIoney and the majority
Of his executive board, that the rank
and file miners are going to fight and
fight hard for an end to the wage
cuts, speed-up and unemployment to
which they have been subjected.

further worsened the conditions Of the
textile workers. For a short period
last summer there was partial pick
up in textile employment caused by
imitation production, but this collapsed
in the fall. Since June 1898, when
the codes went into effect, the textile
workers have suffered a decrease in
real wages, due to the Roosevelt in
fiation policy. The textile workers
have had imposed on them a decrease
in their average weekly earnings as
result OF increased stretch out, lay
offs and staggering Of work.

the industry.
The N. r. A. established cartels in
the various branches of the textile
industry dominated by the biggest
manufacturers and finance capitalists
to plan production" Their plan
ming" consisted Of nation wide attacks
against the living standards OF the
textile workers as seen in the decree
for production curtailment which
simultaneously cut the weekly earn
ings of over a million textile workers
in December. These measures further

character Of the industry (struggle

stark facts about further wage cuts
in the rubber factories, engineered by
the N. r. A. officials, we're laid bare
here recently by a committee OF
Akron trade union workers who
worked up first hand report on the
operation Of the rubber code.
The establishment of the code in
the rubber industry in Ohio, reports
the committee, resulted during the
past month in a direct wage cut and
mass layoffs. The maximum work
ing week is twenty-four hours-and
many Of the workers have been stag
gered to less hours.
One woman interviewed at the
Sieberiing Plant stated that the
weeks work was seventy cents. In
the Goodrich Plant the hourly rate
Of pay has been slashed as much as
twenty per cent in many depart
n1ents. despite the fact that January
and February are the usual months
for seasonal upswing in the trade

onslaught Of the rubber capitalists

Covers Up the Scab Role
of Government
By CARL REEVE

The naneuvers OF Thomas NAL
oney, district president Of the United
Anthracite Miners Union, to lead the
present strike Of the hard coal miners
up the blind alley Of compulsory ar
bitration, are continuing. The record
Of the leadership of Thomas Maloney,
a Democratic politician and justice
of the peace, Is one where every act
and every utterance calls for the
ending of the strike by government
interference before the detectives Of
the strikers, the winning Of their
economic demands, can be achieved.
Nialoney, as justice Of the peace, has
signed dispoSsess notices to evict
more than one jobless miner from
his home.
Maloney called the strike unwill-
ingly. Maloney said in a radio ad-
dress: 81 want to remind you here

The cost of tax-exemption certi-
Ificates for the excess cotton pro-
jduced this year by growers who are
cooperating in the adjustment pro-
gram will amount to only a fraction
of their rental and benefit pay
ments.
The 1864 farms covered by
contracts will receive $6,467,O00
in rental and benefit payments,
while the extra certificates for these
farms will cost $1,S10,000.
This estimate is based on the
$40, ooo-bale crop forecasted for
North Carolina this year, according
to Charles A. Sheffield, of State
College, state director of the cot
ton program.
By dividing the 9o,5oo-bale pro-
duction of the contract signers
above their allotments into the total
rental and benefit payments, Shelf
field said, it is found hat the sign
ers will receive $72 in these pay
:ments for each bale of excess cot
ton.
Deducting $40 a bale for the
cost of extra certificates, the sign
ers still have benefit payments a.
mounting to $50 for each excess
bale, Sheffield pointed out.
In addition, he said, cotton is
now selling for $50 a bale more
than it brought in 1882 before the
adjustment program started prices
on their upward climb.
All n%on-signers who wish to OBJ
tain rental and benefit payments
in 1885 will be given an oppcrtun-
ity to sign contracts in the near
future.

Build Loan Fund
To Aid Club Girls

The women's home demonstra-
ton clubs of Johnston county have,
as one of their main projects, the
maintenance of a county All
scholarship loan fund for helping
worthy farm girls through college.
The fund was started two years
ago with $50, which was used to
help Mary Gulley, an orphan,
through her first year at Boiling
Springs College. The next year,
s175 was raised to defray part of
her expenses at the Eastern Carolina
Teachers College.
Miss Gulley worked for her room
and board and to obtain other funds
necessary for her college expenses
and made an enviable scholarship
record, according to Miss Rachel
Everett, home agent for Johnston
county.
The club women have been we'll
pleased with the good use Miss Gull
ley has made of her educational OPP
portunities, Miss Everett said. Re-
Gently a number of her friends gave
her a trip to New York as a token
of their appreciation of the credi-
table showing she has made.
MSS Gulley now has a position
as a teacher and is paying back the
money she borrowed from the loan
fund, and the club women are US
ing it to help through college anoth-
.er girl who had made a high record
in high school and other activities.
This year the county council of
home demonstration clubs has aid
ed six other girls, to gain an educa-
ton by securing outside loans or
work for them to do in their spare
time.
The girls to be helped by the
clubs are not selected on scholar
ship, Mrs. Everett said, although
they must have the ability to make
their college grades. The women
consider CHIEFLY the girls who need
help most and who have shown
signs of leadership in their COM
munities.

Growing Demand
For Farm Lands

! Columbia, S. C.-Indicating the
growing demand for farm lands, the
Federal Land Bank of Columbia
received in the first three weeks of
October contracts for the sale of
lover 100000 worth of farm lands,
acquired by it in the past several
years, Julian H. Scarborough, pre-
sident, announced. The farms are
located in the four states served by
the bank, North Carolina, South
Carolina, Georgia and Florida.
Contracts for the sale of s66,SO0
worth of land were received on one
day, Tuesday, Oct. p, Mr.. Scar
borough said, and inquiries continue
to pour in daily from prospective
purchasers. The prices being re-
ceived for the land are the best in
five years, he said.
1.-The steady increase in the de-
mand for farm lands is best
shown" Mr.. Scarborough said, "by
the records of the real estate de-
partment of the bank for the past
six months. In April contracts
for the sale of approximately $37,-
900 worth of land were submitted
to the bank; in May approximately
$111,ooo; in June approximately
$169,ooo; in July approximately
$369,o0o; in August approximate
lily $4Sl,0oo; in September approx
mately $4,000 and already in
October over 100000 with the
real estate department predicting
that it will go over 100000 this
month. In October, 1888 the
contracts submitted were for only
$171,000 worth of land.
while the major demand for
farm lands in July, August and
September came from the tobacco
belt, the demand has now spread
nearly all over the district. The
principal demands continues for
farms of 200 acres and less"
The Federal Land Bank of COL
umbia, Mr.. Scarborough pointed
out, sells only farm lands belong
ing to it, and does not handle any
other lands through its real estate
department.
