" ASTERNERS who travelled
hundreds Of miles to the
Century of Progress spec
IL tacle at Chicago responded TO
a lure that proved to be in
ternational. Thousands of Canadians
and Europeans found in the exhibit
sufficient reason to visit America,
which, comparatively speaking. holds
little attraction for the foreign visitor.
The extent of the drawing power of
the fair is cleaned from the recent
report of Amos E. Taylor, of the Com
merce Department, and Is incidental
to the tourist account" which dis
closes that American travellers spent
the astounding total of $2,889. .000, 900
in other countries from 1929 to 1888,
inclusive.
In the first year Of the fair, nearly
10 per cent more Canadian cars en-
tered the United States than in 1882.
Trains and ships brought in 285 900,
a gain of 25.5 per cent. The conclus-
ion that Chicago was the goal of most
of the motorists is drawn largely from
the fact that the average mileage of
the cars in the United States dropped,
showing that a specific place, rela-
lively nearby was the goal, rather
than extensive trips.
THAT Canada is popular play
ground of Americans is disclosed
by the figures. Americans spent
S101 10000 across the border in 1888.
This sum includes outlays of the
business traveller as well as the re-
sort visitors.
Canada is the only country that
exceeds France in receiving the boun-
ties Of tourist trade from the United
States. In 1927, Americans spent
S19O, 10000 in France and $197 000,-
900 in Canada. The sums dropped
each year, and in 1888 France received
$50 100000 from the travels of Ameri-
cans. The French figures do not in
clude steamship ticket payments,
much of which went to foreign lines.
THE total that Americans spent in
other countries in 1888, exclus-
i've of transportation costs on
ships, dwindled to 1922 100000 from
$446 100000 the year before. In
America, the decline was checked.
Visitors to the United States spent
$71 900, 900 in 1888, the same amount
as the year before. From the trend
of unofficial reports, decided pickup
in travel will be registered in 1884.
Japan was one of the countries that
held up we'll in the favor of the Ameri-
can tourists during the curtailment of
travel. Americans spent 8,45O 900 in
Japan in the peak year Of 1929. In
1892, these outlays dropped to S.
$4,000. Last year they climbed to
Sc, 1864, 900.
Japan, incidentally, is one Of the
J many foreign nations which have
recognized the tremendous value Of
tourist trade and turned the en-
ergies of state toward presenting to
the world their attractions. In vari-
Gus forms, government agencies to
promote travel of foreigners within
their borders are maintained by prac-

Chicago Meeting Flags Opponents of Recovery Program
as lnsincere and Selfish, and Calls Workers of Ma
tiOn to Take Immediate Action to Support President

The statement declares that the
business interests are attempting to
undermine the confidence of the peo-
pie in the recovery program by a.
nationwide propaganda against the
so-called "brain trust" 1t is charged
that having used the recovery pro-
gram to enhance their own interests,
the business interests now seek to
prevent it's extension to others.
"They are particularly vehement
in their efforts to prevent the work
ing people of the United States from
obtaining the same degree of organi-
zation which the business interests
have achieved. In the name of liberty,
constitutionalism and fundamental
Americanism, they are deliberately
and consciously, indeed, it may be said
maliciously, seeking to maintain, for
what they conceive to be their own
benefit, condition of inequality as
between the legal rights and econom-
ic opportunities of those who own
and manage commerce and industry,
as against the great masses of the
people who perform the labor, with
out which owners and managers are
helpless.
"Under such circumstances, the
people of America would be disloyal
to themselves and to the finest ira
ditions of their race if they failed to
rise in indignation against the cam
paign of misrepresentation and its
promoters, and if they neglected to
marshall themselves in support of the
leader whom they have commissioned
to find the way out of the economic
morass into which the nation had
Ifloundered We are certain that the
organized working people of Amer
lea will not be found wanting in this
respect, and we believe they can and
will inspire the unorganized to join
their ranks in support of the New
Deal in it's true and full sense"
The conference went on record as
heartily supporting the Wagner labor
| disputes bill, the Wagner-Lewis un-
employment insurance BILL, the Con-
merry 30-hour week bill, state NRA
bill and a number Of bills of interest
| to railroad labor. The conference
asked for establishment of the
civil works administration and exten-
sion of the public works administra-
ton. Launching of big housing pro-
gram in Chicago and financial relief
for the public schools was also asked.

"pressured" by other manufacturers.
This new policy developed right after
the formation of the Southern Hos
iery Manufacturers Association,
which ostensibly seeks to obtain fur
ther advantages for Southern mills
in the code differentials between
North and South. Some spy or dep
uty is always on hand at any meet
ing held by Hogan, taking down the
names of those who attend. In vir-
tually every hosiery plant in the two
Carolinas, foremen and plant execu-
tives are carrying on ceaseless propa-
ganda against unionism and openly
threaten discharge and blacklisting
for anyone who joins labor organi-
zation.
Agents for the manufacturers are
using as their most effective propa-
ganda the story of the Hatch strike.
"The National Labor Board will not
help you," the workers are told. The
delay in prosecuting the Hatch Com
pany has enabled the Southern mill
owners to create the impression that
the labor sections of the recovery act
will be ignored in this part of the
County, Adams and Hogan have in
formed Washington officials. A de-
mand is made on the National Labor
Board that the whole Southern situa-
ton be investigated to obtain evidence
regarding conspiracy to defeat or

Union Wins in
Tool Plant Vote

Washington, D. C. (ILNS)-The
National Labor Board has announced
results of an election of representa-
tives for collective bargaining held
April 26 at the plant of the Hughes
Tool Company, Houston, Tex. The
international Association of Machin-
lists, affiliated with the American
Federation of Labor, obtained a ma
jority. Approximately 1000 are en-
ployed in the plant.
The vote was 787 for the Machin-
ists' Union, and 515 for the Hughes
Tool Company welfare organization.
A previous election held December
2 was voided by the National Labor
Board on the grounds of illegal in
reference on the part fthe man
agement by issuance Of circular to
employees on the eve Of the poll.

Union Organizers Charge
Southern Plot Against NRA
National Labor Board Told Mill Interests COnspire TO
Fight Unionism and Recovery Acts Labor Sections.

Charlotte, N. C. (ILNS)-A definite
conspiracy exists among Southern
manufacturers to fight unionism in
hosiery and textile mills and to frus-
trate the purpose of the national re-
covery act.
This charge is made by Organizers
Henry I. Adams and Lawrence Hogan,
of the American Federation of Hos
iery Workers, in letter to the Ma
tional Labor Board at Washington.
Adams and Hogan point out that
knitters now working in the Hatch
Hosiery Mills at Belmont, where a
strike is on, say they are merely
"loaned" to the Match Company for
the duration Of the strike. Other
manufacturers have sent knitters to
Belmont to aid the employer break the
strike which was caused by the re-
fusal of the company to respect the
rights Of workers under Section Ia
of the NRA, and because of other
code violations. In the past all en-
ployers in the South had agreements
with each other not to hire help from
another mill. Clearly the change in
this policy must have been brought
about as a result of an understanding
between the mill owners here.
Hogan and Adams claim that en-
ployers who have attempted to show
no discrimination against union
workers are bitterly criticized and

WIRE WORKERS
Resent Failure to Share In
creased Revenues

Washington, D. G. (ILNS)-Testi-
flying at reconvened hearing on the
proposed code for the telegraph COM
munications industry, Frank E. Pow
ers, president of the Commercial
Telegraphers Union of North Amer
ica, cited increased revenues of the
Western Union for January and Feb
uary over those in 1888.
Despite the increase of $2.298 .1CS,
which he attributed to the rec ovcry
program, he said employees are natur-
ally restive at not having received
a much greater proportion of the
increased revenues. January and
February are traditionally bad months
for the telegraph industry, he said,
and therefore the figures cited are a
very good indication that there will
be continuance of that increase"

BUTLER'S
Opposition To Child Labor
Amendment Flayed

New York.-Dr. John Dewey, pro-
fessor emeritus of philosophy in resi-
dence at Columbia University, strong
ly criticized the opposition Of DR..
Nicholas Murray Butler, president of
the university, to the proposed child
labor amendment to the federal con-
stitution.
In an interview appearing in The
Columbia Spectator, student daily
newspaper of Columbia College, DR..
Dewey characterized DR.. Buffers
stand as Sincere, honest, straight
forward and completely wrong" DR..
Dewey asserted that DR.. Butler, by
opposing the amendment, has placed
himself in the same category with
Selfish" industrial groups.
"The statement issued by William
Guthrie and signed by DR.. Butler,
Elihu Root and others is not red
herring drawn across the trail Of the
real issues involved; it is a dead
whale" DR.. Dewey said.
"It is conjuring up the dead ghost
of prohibition by its cry of pro-
hibitory' amendment. It merely
clouds the real issues.
Remember in all this talk about
'prohibitory amendment that the
amendment does not prohibit child
labor; it only enables congress to
regulate and prohibit if it so desires.
1t merely gives congress a much
needed power.
"Opposition on the basis Of states
rights have just the opposite effect,
for under the present set-up state
without child labor regulation has a
competitive advantage over one that
has. Manufacturing and industry op-
crate on national rather than state
lines, and regulation must proceed on
the same basis.
81 see in the amendment no sinister
trends toward state capitalism. 1t is
no more socialistic than the inter-
state commerce commission"

Shops Declared Unfair

controversy with Governor Moeur re-

highway department shops, Local No.
519 Of the international Association
of Machinists declared all the shops
throughout the state unfair to organ
lied labor.
The Machinists' Union based it's ac-
tion on the allegation that when the
governor took office all the state
highway shops were employing union
men exclusively, but that since that
time practically all union machinists
have been fired and their places filled
with non-union and unskilled men,"
