.S15,520 IS NEEDED !
BY GOODWILL SHOP
Drive Opening This Week to
Salvage ArticIes--and
Humans.

With a view to equipping a shop
where humans. as well as inanimate
objects will be rehabilitated in WASH
ington, Goodwill Industries, described
as a charity which operates on a
business basis" will open a drive this
week for s15,52o.
The shop, located at 924 Fifth
street, already is operating in a small
way. but up-to-date equipment is
needed to enable it to operate under
the program Of salvaging old clothing
and furniture-along with men and
women taken of relief rolls to repair
the donated articles.
It is predicted that the $15,520
necessary to provide the shop with
adequate facilities will produce a re-
turn Of s50,000 or 100000 by the time
the money is expended on behalf Of
the underprivileged workers in the
shop. This estimate was made yes
terday by James C. Dulin, jr.. treas
urer of the American Security g. Trust
Co., who also is treasurer Of Goodwill
Industries
Earning Ability to Be Restored.
The program involves rehabilitation
of handicapped men and women, re-
vival Of Self-respect and. above all,
restoration of earning ability to un-
fortunates who have been left by the
wayside by hurrying industry.
The story Of Goodwill Industries
goes back TO 1905, when E. j. Helms,
a pastor of a church in Boston, set
men and women to work in the pews
of his church making over the worn
and discarded garments which he COL
lected from the homes of Boston.
Other cities saw the advantage and
started local Goodwill Industries of
their own.
This Spring S. L. Thomas, who has
been operating Goodwill Industry in
Roanoke. Va, for five years came to
Washington and interested a group
here, with the result that Goodwill
Industries Of Washington was in
corporated on June 3. and the small
shop" was started on Fifth street.
$4,000 Building in Baltimore.
In Baltimore the industries have q
$4,000 shop building, completely
equipped with cabinet making tools,
shoemakers' paraphernalia. clothes re-
pairing apparatus. paints, hat shop
and other departments necessary to
rehabilitate the gathered articles. 1t
is declared that in Baltimore, as in
other cities. Goodwill has proven that
through its methods it can pay out
in wages to its workers more than So
for every dollar contributed to 1t by
| the citizens Of the city, and at the
same time furnish good rebuilt furni-
ture and clothing to the city's poor
at prices they can afford to pay.
Col. William o. Tufts is president Of
the industries in Washington.

WAGE ISSUE FACES
ABORCONvENT|ON.
F federation to Decide
Whether to Seek Consti.
tuition Amendment.
BY the Associated Press.

6y tne hSSOCldJeo FIeSs.
ATLANTIC CITY, N. j., October s.
Issues reaching into the home of
nearly every American working man
faced American Federation Of Labor
leaders who gathered today for their
annual convention.
Should labor seek amendment Of
the Constitution to give the Federal
Government undisputed right TO fix
minimum wages and maximum work
ing hours?
Should labor continue to depend on
the Democrats and Republicans for
support in national and State legis-
lative halls, or should the federation
back a new labor party?
What should be done about the
Reds who have bored into q number
of unions and who have almost got
control of q few?
Rows Also an Issue.
How could the federation's two big
family quarrels be composed? Threats
Of secession and rebellion have rung
through labor meeting halls as re-
suit of the scraps between the trade
and industrial unionists and rival
groups OF building trade unions.
The fall of N. r. A. as result Of
the Supreme Courts Schechter decis-
ion brought a wave Of labor sentiment
for q constitutional amendment to
give the Federal Government power
to regulate industry.
William Green, federation president.
said today he expected a number OF
resolutions calling for such an amend
ment to be introduced when the con-
vention starts Monday.
Labor Party Opposed.
The attitude of federation chieftains
on this issue was expected to be dis
closed tomorrow when the Executive
Council report to the convention is
made public.
A consensus Of the leaders here to-
day showed that labor party resolu-
tions probably would be voted down,
even though Green said there was an
increased sentiment that labor should
give up its dependence on the old
pdTtleS. 1Hc lcUCIntlOA pOiASy AOhA
the beginning has been to support
its friends.
Vigorous action to rid the fedora
ton Of reds was predicted on all
sides. Matthew Woll, vice presl-
dent. suggested an alliance between
the federation and the American Le-
gion to fight communism.
Internal Row Still Seething.
Behind the tight for control Of the
building trades department lies q
desire on the part Of each Of two
rival groups of unions for the upper
hand in settling scraps that frequently
arise between two unions over which
should do a particular job in q build
ing project. Work on the new Labor
Department Building in Washington,
for instance, was held up for weeks
when two unions fell to quarreling
over which should put the covers on
the radiators.
Green predicts that time will heal
the breach, but a number of unions
are ready to quit the federation II
they fail to win their points.

ARKANSAS COURT UPHOLDS
LANDLORDS RIGHT TO
EVICT CHOPPERS

Little Rock, Ark. - (CNA)-The
State Supreme Court held last Mon
day that landlords here had a right
to evict Negro and white share-crop-
pers and under the law the latter could
do nothing about it.
Ten sh~arecroppers sued H. Nor
cross, white, a landlord, charging evic-
tons in violation of the acreage re-
duction acts Of the Roosevelt A.A.A.
The court held that the contracts COW
ering the arrangement were be-
tween the landlord and the federal
government and that the ~sharecrop-
per was a "free agent" who had moth
ing to do with them.
The court declared that the share
troopers had "no obligation to remain
upon the farm . and are left free
to stay or go as they choose"
The effect of the decision is to leg
alize the landlord system Of evicting
and starving the Negro and white
.sharecroppers in this territory.
