Six Week Fight Wins
Right to Picket in
Mayor Hague's City
Broad United Front in
Jersey Forces Labor's
Rights From Mayor
BY MAX PERLoW

Workers from the Furniture
Workers Industrial Union and from
local 80, UpholstererS Interna-
tional, won the right to picket the
shops in Jersey City unmolested.
This came as a result of the order
of acting Mayor Potterton not to
arrest peaceful pickets.
The Furniture Workers Industrial
Union was the first organization to
take up the fight against the ban
on picketing by Mayor Hague. This
fight was carried on for six weeks.
Eighteen arrests were made in front
of the Miller Parlor Furniture Co
Thirteen were sentenced to 80 days
Jail and their cases are under ap-
peal. Four were indicted for the
Grand Jury, and Lamonts case is
still pending
Jersey City was closed to the
workers for twenty years time. This
victory where the workers again
have gained the right to strike and
to picket in Jersey City came as a
result of the determined fight which
the Furniture Workers Industrial
Union put up. 1t also came as a
result of the correct policies of the
Union in relation to the united
front with other labor organiza-
lions.
The Union succeeded in drawing
in the American Civil Liberties
Union to join our fight to estab-
lish the right to strike and picket
in Jersey City. The Union also
succeeded in establishing a real
united front with local 90 of the
Upholsterers International, an
American Federation of Labor affi-
late and the Wood Carvers and
Moulders Association also an Amer
lean Federation of Labor affiliate.
In this fight we were successful
in bringing before the American
workers the issue involved in it and,
through the pressure of this united
front, we were successful in estab-
fishing the rights of the workers to
strike and picket in Jersey City.
The Furniture Workers Industrial
Union wants to register the lesson
which we can draw from the Jersey
City victory. This lesson is that only
through the united effort of the
workers, irrespective of their union
affiliation or political views, can the
working class fight and win better
conditions and establish their
rights where such rights have been
taken away from them.
Our union is also aware of the
fact that the employers will try
everything in order to break the
strikes of the workers through all
kinds Of schemes, and that the gov
eminent machinery will again come
to their assistance.
We are also aware of the fact
that there are still Is cases in Court
where workers have been sentenced
to Jail for no other reason than the
reason of picketing 1t is again
necessary, at this time, to mobilize
all the workers and other organi-
cations and to utilize again the
pressure of real united front
among all these organizations in
order to free these framed up work
ers and win our struggles in Jersey
City

Current for Farmers
22 Families Get Electricity through
Help from C.W.A

twenty-five families out on
the Hillsboro road, within four
miles Of Carrboro, will have
electricity in their homes as a
result of help from the CIV. A.
Most of them are engaged in
farming
Within about a month, when
the current is turned on, they
will be able to have lights, irons,
fans, curling tongs, heating
pads, and whatever other elec-
tric appliances they care to OPP
crate. They can have electric
ranges too, if they want to, but
with tireWood as plentiful as it
is in the country it is not likely
the farmers will use electricity
for cooking. rs
Henry Hogan, who with his
brother runs a farm near Cal
wander, was active in having the
project put through. He and
some of his friends contributed
and selected the cedar trees for
the 1O7 poles that were needed
The C.W.A. provided the labor
for the cutting, the hauling, the
digging of the holes, and the
setting up of the poles.
Arrangements were made with
the University Consolidated
Service Plants for connection
at Carrboro. The two wires to
be strung over the new line will
carry current for the ordinary
household uses and for motors
up to five horsepower. Dairy
farms on the line may have mo-
tors for pumping water and for
separating and other processes
connected with the preparation
Of milk and cream for the
market.

Braune and Baskerville

Two artists who used to live
in Chapel Hill, Miss Anna
Braune and Charles Baskerville,
Jr., had decorative paintings in
the exhibition at the Decorator s
Club in New York this week.
AT this exhibit" says the
New York Times, zone can see
how effectively paintings on silk
may serve as murals. In some
examples by Anna Braune the
silk of the background shows
through the design, creating a
delightful texture.
Pictorial screens are used by
modern decorators as murals.
A tall one, such as that shown
by Charles Baskerville, Jr.,
might. easily dominate a room.

tation, painted on a new kind

Tax Cut in Orange
Net Reduction of S1S1 ,655 Resulting
from Recent Legislation

The reduction in property tax
es in Orange county last year
amounted to S217,229. Based on
the returns for the first six
months period, the years col
lections from the sales tax in
this county are estimated at
$35,574. Thus. the estimate of
the net reduction in taxes for
Orange is $181, 1,655.
The cut in property taxes has
resulted from the abolition of
the ad valorem levy for the OPP
GRAFTON of the schools and from
the assumption by the state of
the cost of maintaining the
roads. To make up for the rev.
enue loss from laws reducing
property taxes the legislature
enacted the sales tax law.
In the whole state the sales
tax collections in the six months
ended January 30 were $3,317,-
600 If the sales tax yield for
a full year is put at $6,635,0O0
the property tax reductions in
excess of collections from the
sales amount to $4,826,000.

DROPS 18O MEN
HERE AS C.W.A.
ClIRTAILS WORK
Lawrence Has to Make Drastic
Cut in Force on Orders
from Headquarters
SOME PROJECTS CONTINUE

George H. Lawrence, Civil
Works Administrator for Or
ange county, had to turn off 180
of his workers yesterday. The
order for reduction in the labor
force came in the form of tele-
gram from state headquarters
in Raleigh.
The labor quota for the
county, including the I-nixer-.
slty quota, now stands at $50.
Mr.. Lawrence is led to expect,
after a talk with the district
engineer, that another 180 men
may be cut off the roll next
week.
The projects that apparently
will be continued are: the Chapel
Hill street improvement; the
University athletic grounds; the
University streets and roads
the Hillsboro library; and the
Improvement in and around the
court house in HillSboro.
Five county road projects are
being discontinued. Probably
there will be no more work in
the creek near the sewage dis
posal plant; but this is not Of
much Importance, because that
project is just about finished.
Levellng and ditching on the
streets in Hillsboro will stop. 1t
looks as if the order will inter
.rupt the improvements on the
grounds at about thirty schools
in the county; Is per cent Of the
painting authorized at these
schools has been completed. 1t
is doubtful if anything will be
done on the project recently ap-
proved at the Chapel Hill school.
the Improvement of the old
playground.
The Person hall (art museum)
project will have to be dropped.
And the municipal swimming
pool will remain but a dream.
All of which statements are
based on the assumption that
the plan now announced by the
|C.WA. in Washington is not
changed.
There is chance, of course,
that activities now called off may
be resumed" said Mr.. Lawrence

MRS. BONDS NEW
JACKET ACHIEVES
ANATI0NAL FAME
Outer Covering of Culture in
the South" Makes Great
Hit with Reviewers
HIGHLY ORIGINAL NOTION

Mrs. Richmond Bonds new
Jacket has aroused great admir-
alton not in Chapel Hill alone
but all over the United States,
The allusion here is not to a
part of her wearing apparel
though that, too, may thrill all
behOlders-but to the jacket
she designed for the book, Cu-
ture IN the South, edited by w.
r. Couch and recently published
by the University of North Car
Dina Press.
AS the story goes about the
village, there was some dlsputa-
ton in the Press Office about
the outer covering of the vol
ume. An influential element of
the editorial staff was for some
thing conventional and sober.
Mrs. Bond held firm for her
idea, a highly original one, and
she presented her argument
with such earnestneSs and con
Viction that at length she pre-
vailed.
SO, in lines of type-uniform,
with no capital Understanding
diagOnally across the jacket Of
hight green paper, are names,
catchWOrdS, slogans, and descrlp-
tive phrases associated with the
South, for example: king cot
ton, kentucky derby, middle class
and bourbon, hill billies, poor
whites, moonlight and mag

bible belt and black belt, savan-
nahs, cole blease, perslmmons,
spoon bread, mint juleps, bloody
shirt, ku klux khan, scupper
nongs, mardi gras, roll Jordan
roll.
The phrases are repeated, III
the fashion of. the figures in a
wall paper or carpet design.
The substance of culture IN
the South has received abundant
praise, and some of the review
ers have displayed as much en-
thusiasm about the jacket as
about the book itself. Lewis
