speaks of new building materials,
which would have little reason for
existence if they were not cheaper
than those in use at preeent.
Financing Costs to Drop
But financing costs of home build
ing are bound to drop, partly because
interest rates are sure to be generally
lower, and because of the strong
pressure of the government to lower
the financial expenses of owning a
home.
As for government housing, Mr..
Kiplinger expects this to get really
under way next fall. But this is one
place where he considers other factors
stronger than the influence Of the
government.

Washington, D. C. (ILNS)-In a
book taking the form of 25 personal
letters, W. M. Kiplinger, economist
and financial writer, tells Mr.. Common
Citizen that we are due to have
another period of good times, begin
ming probably in the spring of 1886
and lasting until 1910 Al We will have
good times, Mr.. Kiplinger says, partly
because we will have initiation. That
is coming willy nilly. Nothing can
stop it, though the government can
control it; and it will be an imitation
of credit, not of currency.
Mr.. Kiplinger has a shrewd under
standing of forces in Washington as
we'll as in Wall street, and he has a
higher percentage Of hits than any
one else who has used the difficult
bat of forecasting. But the most in
teresting part is what he expects Of
housing.
Until it becomes cheaper to buy
than to rent" he declares, there can
be no real home building boom'
Boom Certain, He Says
Then he summarizes the factors
which make him certain that real
home building boom is coming.
Depression caused tremen-
dous shrinkage in the use of
houses. Families doubled up.
Many families are now un-
doubling. The marriage rate is
now increasing, and new families
need homes. Unemployment is
still high enough to keep the
brakes applied to the demand for
houses, and this is likely to con-
tinue for at least year. But
the scramble for new houses will
come"
Costs of wages and building ma
terials he thinks viii not come dowr

Ga; Columbia, S. c., and Atlanta, Ga,
attended the Workers Education Con-
ference held here, sponsored by the
Southern Summer Schools and the

Plans were drawn up for organic
ing and conducting classes in many
Southern industrial centers. Where
possible, FERA funds will be obtained
to aid in supporting teachers Of

Turkish Women to Vote

Istanbul, Turkey-Turkish women
were eligible to vote for the first time
at the recent general elections to
choose 399 deputies for the Grand
National Assembly of Turkey. Popu-
lar enthusiasm for the election is dim
med by the fact that only one polite
al party, the Republican Peoples
party, exists. The party approves all
candidates. The election is therefore
largly a question of personal pop

LABOR SUPPORT
Pledged Wagner Disputes
Bill

Washington, D. G. (ILNS)-The la
Dor disputes bill introduced by SEN
ator Wagner, of New York, will re-
ceive the full and complete support
of the American Federation of Labor,
President Green, of the federation, an
nounced.
THE proposed act is regarded as of
major Importance to labor" Green
said ut defines unfair labor prac-
tices, prohibits employers from max
ing contributions toward the support
of company unions, and to that extent
outlaws company unions. Further
more, the measure provides that Sec
tion IA, the collective bargaining
provision of the national recovery act,
shall be made the law of the land.
To Press Fight for Bill
Labor will appeal to congress to
enact the Wagner disputes measure
into law at the earliest possible date
and will call upon it's friends to ac-
lively interest themselves in it's be-
half"
In introducing his bill, Senator
Wagner said its enactment would
Stabilize and improve business by
laying foundations for amity and fair
dealing upon which permanent prog
ress must rest"
Wagner, who fought for a similar
bill at the last session, intends to in
sist upon decisive action this time.
For Permanent Board
Wagner told the senate the tenn
porary labor relations board set up
last spring is gradually but surely
losing its effectiveness because of its
inability to enforce its decisions" He
proposed to make the board perma-
nent, with unquestionable powers to
settle labor disputes.
His bill amplifes the collective bar
gaining guarantees of the MIRA
Wagner said that employees attempt
ing in good faith to exercise their lib
critics under Section IA has met with
repeated rebuffs."
The new Wagner bill would set uI

NeyerEndn Stream of Job Seekers Pouring Into Auto
Capital from South Gives Employers Powerful
Weapon in Fight to Prevent Organization of Labor.

Detroit, Mich. (ILNS)-The chill
billy section" of Detroit is already
full to the guards, and is getting more
crowded every day as men from the
Southern hill country pour in to get
share of that boom" in employment
which the automobile companies have
advertised so freely.
For some reason which no one has
explained, Southern workers in De-
troit for years past have punched to
themselves. They have taken posses
sion of good chunk of the city lying
south of Jefferson avenue and on both
sides of Connor avenue, close to some
big plants of Chysler, Hudson and
other concerns. Most of them come
from Kentucky and Tennessee, but
nearly all the middle South is rep
resented; and the territory which
they occupy has come to be known
here as the "hillbilly section"
When work in the auto plants is
plentiful, fair, or ever said to be i'm
proving, workers from the South
pour in. When employment drops,
large numbers of these workers make
their way back to their old homes.
''H;llbillly Section Now Full
Last fall, rentable space in the
''hillbilly section" was a drug on the
market. There were For Rent" signs
everywhere. To the casual visitor, it
looked as If half the dwellings, were
empty
Today, the "hillbillly section is
full; and bids fair soon to be
heaped up, pressed down and run
ming over. Word has been spread
in the Southern hills that men
from that region can be sure of
jobs in Detroit, and they are an
swering the call.
"All you need do to see what is
happening" said a shrewd observer
sis to drive out few miles on the
Toledo road, get to one side, sit in
your car, and note the licenses of cars
headed toward Detroit.
Southern Tags Predominant
aside from trucks and limousines
you would say that majority Of
them have licenses from Kentucky
and Tennessee; though other South
ern States are represented. They are
coming in to work in the automobile
plants, and pretty soon the hillbilil
section will be jammed SO full tha
they'll be sleeping three in bed"
Such check up as can be made
indicates that while some of these
people have worked in Detroit
before, more Of them have not.
The companies of the industry
are importing force of workers
who know nothing about labor un-
ions, who have no practice in
working together, who-for a
time, at least-will obey orders

other and ask for job with South
ern accent-and get it.
Companies Want Labor Oversupply
There is nothing new about this,
though present conditions make it
more than usually shocking. Men
have been brought to Detroit in bus
loads from the back districts of
Kenucky, Tennessee, Arkansas and
other states when plants in the city
were Stacking down and thousands
of men who had worked there for
years were tramping the streets.
The companies want and mean
to have such gross oversupply
of labor that united action by the
workers will be impossible. That
is the real secret of the appalling
speed-up. Men are so plentiful
that when they are worked to ex-
haustion and thrown aside, there
are plenty more.
1t used to take seven years to
work slave to death in the Carolina
rice swamps," said one relief worker
who has watched the endless process
sion Of misery for years. "When he
gave out, they brought new one. 1t
takes a little longer in Detroit, but
the bosses have the same idea. They
have one big advantage over the old
planters, too.
New Slaves Always on Tap
"The automobile companies don't
need to buy new slave when the old
one breaks. They just pick the new
slave out of the unemployed mob on
the streets, or send word down to the
hill country for fresh batch"

HAUP PTMANN' 'S
PLEA FILED
BY counsel

TRENTON, N. j.. May 10. UP)--
Counsel for Bruno Richard Haupt-
mann today filed with the clerk of
the court of errors and appeals 1913
reasons for upsetting his convic-
ton of the murder of Charles A.
Lindbergh, Jr.
Attorney General David T. Will
entz was attacked for committing
prejudicial error" in his charac-
terization of the defendant as IAN
animal of the lowest form-public
enemy No. l of this world" and
when he declared that those who
had contributed to the Haupt-
mann defense funds were idiots,
cranks and n-Americans."
The defense holds that Wilentz'
summing up was unfair and pre-
judicial; that Hauptmann's consti-
tutional rights were violated be-
cause the jury was not insulated
against outside influences; that
there was a material difference as
to the manner of the kidnapped
dCdlll III lllC dIIOl 5Cll-
erals opening statement and in his
summation.
In addition to the claim that the
ruling was against the weight of
evidence, the schedule cited court
rulings on the admissibility of and
rejection of testimony exceptions
to the charge and to the refusals to
charge.
Included were nine allegations of
various acts and circumstances
which influenced the jury-reput-
edly exaggerated newspaper ac-
counts prior to the trial, inflam-
matory summation by the states
counsel and the counts charge
which impaired a free and un-
biased verdict"

Rear Admiral Richard F.. Byrd,
steaming up the Potomac on a
triumphant return from fresh eX-
plorations near the South Pole, re-
vealed today that several times dur

During those four and one half
months alone in a snow-buried hut,
Byrd said, II got new outlook on
life and realized that many things
about our civilization are super

Byrd went to the isolated advance
base to make meteorological obser-
vations, during the long Antarctic
night. Fumes from a heater made
him i'll, but he declined to imperil
lives of his men at the Little
America base by calling for aid by
radio.
Today, dressed in an admiral's
uniform and putting a pipe on the
deck of the Bear, the explorer ap-
peared to have recovered fully from

Measure Not Yet Received At
His Office And Protests On
Veto Disregarded
BATTLE IS DUE IN SENATE
Supporters OF Bill Have Not
Sufficient Strength To Over
Ride Rejection

WASHINGTON, May 10. UD -
Thousands of kilograms piled up
in the White House today urging
President Roosevelt to sign the 81
200,000,000 inflationary Patman
bonus bill, but there was no hint
of any change in his determination
to veto it.
The kilograms started pouring in
last night and by mid-morning 1t
was estimated 5000 had been re-
ceived.
Commander James Van zandt of
the Veterans of Foreign Wars had
called for supporters of the Pat
man bill everywhere to deluge the
White House with 100000 mes
sages.
The appeals were directed to the
White House after senators had
been bombarded with an estimated
100000 kilograms, instigated large
ly by Father Charles E. Cough
Inns attempt to rally support for
the Patman bill.
White House officials seemed un-
moved by the campaign. The only
comment there was that the bill
has not yet been received by the
President and hence there Is Moth
ing for him to do about it. Indi-
cations were that when and If the
bill is delivered to him, the veto
will be speedy.
Patman forces have kept the bill
at the capitol following it's passage
by the senate while they engaged
in an apparently futile effort to
switch enough votes to override a
veto.
President Sends Message
Mr.. Roosevelt's continued oppo-
sition to immediate payment of the
bonus was reflected in a tele-
graphed message to a st. Louis
American Legion convention that
war veterans are, and should be,
interested in the welfare of the
country as whole"
Our constant objective" the
president messaged, '.is to care for
the disabled, the sick, and desti-
tute. American Legionnaires and
veterans of all wars support this
national policy"
Patmanites in congress were
wary of comment, pointing out that
the message contained no direct
reference to the bonus. There's
nothing new in that (message) SO
far as I can see," one bonus advo-
cate said.
Sen. Huey P. Long, anti-admin-
istration leader of the bonus for
ces, asked facetiously if the mes
sage was signed Knight of the
Nourmahal." Then have no COM
ment to make" he said.
Bonus forces generally conceded
the President would veto the bill
calling for the printing of $780,
100000 in greenbacks to pay the
bonus. They denied, however, this
would involve the country in dan
gerous initiation.
Administration leaders conceded
the house probably would pass the
bill over veto. The house voted

The humidity figures during the
