SAN FRANCESCO-(FP) - TIL
high hopes of labor progress ex-
pressed at the Washington convention
Of the American Federation Of Labor
last October, when the NRA and the
Ne VIDAL were in their infancy, find
no echo in the shattering discussion
of the 54th annual convention begin
ming it's session in San Francisco Oct.
I.
She report to the delegates of the
executive council is a realistic docu-
ment Of disappointment though some
hope still remains that the govern
r2ent mahinery of recovery as it CON
Germs labor, may with great effort
be made to work.
Our Saith convention" theexecu-
tive council begins without beating
about the bush "find the years pro-
gress toward recovery falling far short
of what we had hoped The
failure Of government effort to prime
the pump leaves US agan face to face
with a most implacable Eprte-ten
millions Of unemployed. Something
must be done.
The something to be done is stated
to be planning 'tfor a future when
wealth produced by oue Industries
will be equitably distributed and will
create a new standard Of living"
This is not to be- done on the class
war principles of the radicals but by
letting labor have a chance to cooper
ate with the bosses Sin the great soial
as well as economic efficiency and thus
assure a return to prosperity more
permanent and more equitable than
we have seen.
Less than half a million increase
in membership is reported by the ex-
ecutives council for the year ended
Aug. 81. Average paid up member
ship was 2,126,796 a year ago. 1t is
2,608,0 oil now the lowest figure since
1917 except for 1888 and 1882. One
eigth Of the gain is among the rub
Der workers, while cleaners and dyers
and aluminium workers also made
gains in membership.

Ames. a textile manufacturer in Selma
Ala, has been running around tn
country with petitions for a Special
Code for Sub Normal Labor" This
code would apply to white people
who are old, young or infirm in any
way and would also apply to the
colored race"
This idea Of Ames has a lot Of
backing from the big business men
pecially in the South, and plenty o
people besides Ames have asked Wash
ington to let them pay their Negr
workers less than whites for the
same Jobs. The Hardie-Tynes Man
u~facturing Co. Of Birmingham, fer
instance. And lots of others.
They Stop at Nothing
Some people who don't realize tina
tie governments policy is the policy
of the big bosses, thought the NRA
wouldn't go that far, surely. But jus
as we are writing these articles, W
pick up the newspaper and what DO
we see?
Permission to pay less than
the code minimum for the industry
has been granted to the Central
Spinning and Weaving Co. of Fay
ettesville by the Silk Code Auth
ority. The company employs 300
Negro workers.
Mr.. Ames says he wants the "sub
normal" code so as to "give the co..
ored race a fair chance of employ
ment." Yes and the hi jacker grabs
o u dough because he's afraid you'll
spend it rashly and do yourself harm
When we have to look to Mr.. Ames
and the likes of-Mr. Ames for sym
pathy and help, we II be in a bad way
A lot Of Negro workers don't have
to worry about code provisions any
more, because they're pounding pave
ments and there's no code for that
When the Blue Eagle flew in the wind
ow of a great many businesses, a
lot Of Negroes had to do double-guick
out the back door. The Tri-City Man
ufacturirg Co. &f Memphis, Tenn.
fired IA Negro workers the day be
fore the code went into effect, and
got white workers in their places. In

In almost three-quarters of the code

there are jobs with s~ub-minimum

Mostly Negroes-of course!
Here's another thing. You know

both In color and character. and strike
a happy note in decoration 1t Is well
to remember this type of awning when
taking advantage Of hate summertime
buying.
Fringes Featured.
Another feature to hold in mind Is
that fringe is the smartest finish for
valances. White fringe is in high
favor ever though there may be no
touch Of white in the awning cloth.
The decided contrast accents the
style. Or ii may be that the awning
cloth is in one plain color and a geo
metrical design or just a broad line OF
white forms a border for the finished
awning. The border may or may not
be repeated about the valance. The
fringe takes up the color harmony
when 1t edges the awning. While
white is the favorite color for fringe,
other colored fringes are used. some
times matching some stripe or color in
the cloth, and again being in marked
contrast, in which case the style OF
border or band of the fringe-cOlor on
a plain color Of cloth is usually fol
lowed.
1t is a good time now to replace
worn awnings instead Of waiting for
another year. If You follow the adj
vance styles of this season, you will
find the awnings in the height of fash
ion next year. The awning problems
will all have been solved and the avn
ings ready to be put UP when next
summer comes, and you will have
saved money by this out-ef-season buy
ing.

visions faded as a speculative stimu-
liant this week. allowing bonds to
dominate the financial stage with q
broad and vigorous recovery.
Traders lost enthusiasm for stocks
and commodities as the investment
market returned to bulllsh favor.
The stock market attracted suffi-
Gent buying to rally back to the tops
OF the rebound from the July Is lows,
but it did not break out into definite
trend.
The dollar recovered against for
eign exchanges on the announcement
that a small shipment Of gold for ex-

ranged. thus demonstrating that the

Saving Of every bit Of straw and

up this season is being asked of North
Dakota farmers by the NDAC extern
sion service in its effort to insure the
largest possible supply Of livestock
feed for tiding farm animals through
the coming winter.
Burning or wasting Of straw should
not be permitted. The feed will be
needed urgently for livestock next
winter. Although not the best Of
feeds the straw can be fed In con-
junction with such protein supple
naents as unseed meal and cotton
seed cake, and grain. and made. to
do good work In carrying the animals
through the emergency.
The college Is suggesting that
farmers who harvested grain crops
with combines rake up the straw and
stack it where 1t will keep In good
condition until It Is needed later.
Shortage Of roughages this season
Is SO great that farmers are likely to
find a,ready market for their surplus
straw.
Burning Of straw which Is COM

years Is looked upon a. criminally
wasteful now when It Is needed 20
