This, to many craft unions, is held
inimical Hence the Grow" between
Mr.. Lewis and Mr.. Green of the A. F.
of L. The machinists' union," says
Mr.. Lewis, claims machinists whether
they work in railroad shops, navy
yards or auto plants. The electrical
workers union similarly takes in elec-
tricians in railroad shops. the build
ing industry, power plants or any other
place they can be found. According to
this craft set-up, over half a dozen
craft internationals would operate in
one auto or rubber plant. In steel or
electrical manufacturing, there would
be even worse confusion, since 20
or more crafts international would
have members in one plant, the car
penters. blacksmiths, painters, sheet
metal workers, and so on, each having
their own craft union"
Not a New Movement
The reader must not geS the view
point that the Industrial UnionistS are
a new labor group sprung into exist
ence to combat the American Fedora
ton of Labor. Quite the contrary.
In fact industrial unionism is the brain
child of the very organization with
which 1t is at grips-the federation.
Following the national convention
at Atlantic City last year was set up,
in November. by member unions Of the
federation, the Committee for Indus
trial Organization. 1t was born Of a
minority report at that convention,
submitted by the Resolutions Commit
tee. The stir was brewing from the
convention of 1894 at San Francisco.
This minority report. favoring indus
trial unionism, was born of the rec
ognition that something should be
done for the workers in the mass
production industries. No appreci-
able gains were being made, charged
committee supporters, by the feder-
alton crafts in these industries. Yet
1t was quite evident that here lay q
vast unexploited field for membership
an opportunity to run up the mem
bership of the federation from its
present strength of 5000, 900 members
| to 80 0000, 900. At the time 1t was-and
still is-recognized that the committee
was formed for the purpose Of en-
couraging and promoting the organiza-
ton of unorganized workers in mass
production and other industries upon
an industrial basis. That its aim Is to
foster recognition and acceptance OF
collective bargaining in such basic
industries; to counsel and advise un-
organized and newly organized groups
of workers; to bring them under the
banner and in aflliation with the
American Federation Of Labor as in
dustrial organizations"
"Our purpose, therefore" says Mr.
Lewis, sis to encourage the formation
of industrial unions, equal in economic
strength to management, in the steel,
automobile, rubber. glass, textile
radio. and all other basic industries

But meanwhile what has labor
done? Here is the germ of the quar-
rel Mr.. Lewis has with Mr.. Green.
Industry has outgrown its swaddling
clothes; it even has outgrown its
hand-production clothes. 1t has be-
come a mechanical thing, turning out
millions upon millions of articles
yearly, patterned on the same die,
where once it turned out only few,
patterned upon the last of each in
dividual worker.
The mass-production development
Of industry has even gone farther,
where the human laborer is con-
cerned. 1t has all but wiped out the
skilled worker In mass production
the identity of the worker is lost. He
may at one time have been the most
skilled worker in the shop. None
could surpass him. His work reflect
ed his ability. But now!
He Is no longer a skilled worker.
He pushes a button, he turns a dial,
he places a rivet, he tacks a braid.
And an endless chain carries the
product of the factory along the as
sembly line until, at the end, it
emerges finished and ready for the
drying or storage room.
This is the declared quarrel Mr..
Lewis has with Mr.. Green-the care
1 Of this man and the millions OF others
like him in the production in
dustry, the unorganized worker who
fits into no craft pattern, because
mass production has destroyed crafts
manship.
| Right to Membership.
Says he:
"These millions of workers in our
mass production industries have a
right to membership in effective la
Dor organizations and to- the enjoy
ment of industrial freedom. They are
entitled to a place in the American
economic sunlight. If the labor move
ment and American democracy are
to endure, these workers should have
the opportunity to support their fam
lilies under conditions of health, de-
cency and comfort, to own their own
homes, to educate their children. and
possess sufficient leisure to take part
in wholesome social and political &C
tivities How much more security we
] would have in this country for the
future of our form of government II
we had q .virile labor movement that
represented, not merely cross-sec-
ton of skilled workers, but that repre-
sented the men who work with their
hands in our great industries, regard
less of their trade and calling"
But how organize them? This is
where industrial organization" comes
in. 1t means the taking in of all wage
earners in one plant or industry un-
der one banner. For instance, the auto
workers union would take in all the
workers in the auto industry. In rub
ber factory maintenance and repair
men would belong to the same unior
as production employees. The skilled
and the unslnlied alike, all In tia

This Crop More Profit

BY E. T. FRTSBiE
Teacher of Agriculture, Fletcher
and Mills River Schools

The average yield of potatoes
in Henderson county for the last
several years has been around sc
to 50 bushels per acre. This aver,
age yield should be boosted con,
Siderably if we arc to continue to
grow this crop profitably. This
can easily be dcne by giving at
tention to the following details:
l.-Selcct rich, fertile, we'll
drained, loamy soil with plenty of
organic matter. 1t is advisable to
turn under some leguminous COW
er crop in the fall or winter be-
fore planting: pillow deep and thor
oLghly prepare soil.
Use certified seed Of Green
Mountain variety. Certified seed
produced at home are superior to
imported stock. as is shown by a
test conducted at the State Test
Farm at Swannanoa last year. The
results were as follows: From five
bushels of Henderson county pO-
tatoes the yield was AZ bushels;
and from five bushels of import
ed seed the yield was Al l-2 bush
els.
3.-Use good fcrtilizer-3-8-6,
1873, OF some other analysis fer
tilizer high in potash. Apply at
the rate of 1000 pounds per acre.
The best method of application Is
to place fertilizer in bands two
inches to the side and below the
seed piece.
4.-Treating seed should be
practiced to control diseases. Use
SemeSan and follow manufacture
er's directions.
5.-Plant. in .3-foot rows March
is to April IS. Make hills II
inches to IA inches apart in good
average land. Cover four to six
inches deep.
6.-Cultivate thoroughly, keep
ing down weeds and maintaining
good mulch at all times.
7.-Controlling insects such as
the flea beetle and Colorado po-
tato beetle may be effectively
done by using one pound of ar
senate of lead and three pounds
of lime applied as dust while
vines are damp.
By following these directions
the farmer can increase his yield
and produce a higher quality
product.

CORN PAYSAS
MARKET CROP

Corn. the most extensively
grown crop in Henderson county
is a profitable crop when grown
for market, as Is shown by the
records of the boys growing corn
as their projects in connection
with their classes in agriculture at
Mills River school.
Nine boys grew IT - acres of
corn which produced 93l bushels,
an average Of $50 bushels pcs
acre. This average is over twice
the 22-buShel average yield of
Henderson county.
The championship in corn grow
ing for this class was divided be-
tween Hugh Howell and Arthur
JOynes. The highest yield per acre
was made by Arthur JOyncs Of an
average yield of % bushels per
acre on two acres. Hugh Howell
was secor d with a yield of 67.7
bushels per acre on 3 l-2 acres.
The race for lowest cost per bush
ell was even more closely contest
ed between these two boys, Hugh
winning first place with a cost per
bushel of ISL cents, and Arthur's
cost per buShel running 25.2 cents
per bushel. These boys used good
seed of approved varieties, proper
fertilization and good methods Of
cultivation, thus clearly demon
strating the possibilities of this
croD where good production prac-
tees are followed.

FARM WOODS

The farm woods are still q vaiu-
able asset to the farmers OF this
county. They furnish fuel, posts,
building materials for the farm as
we'll as merchantable products OF
wood, poles, bark, lumber. :les'
billets. and other products. These
products from the forests may b"
harvested at slack times, or 20
meet emergencies, or to supple
ment the annual income of the
farmer.
There are hundreds of acras of
waste land in this county which
should be planted in timber. Pines
will grow fast enough so that in
a few years they will pay rca-
sonable rate Of interest on the IN
vcstmcnt over taxes and upkeep.
Therefore they will supplement
the farmers income.
Recently Mr.. R. H. Page, as
sistant extension forester, con-
Quoted forest thinning demon
stration at the Mountain Santa
rum. He used a goth Of an acre
plot. The pines were far too thick
for best growth. Some Of them
were dead, some dying, and the
rate of growth of all the trees
was greatly slowed down for lack
of proper space in which to grow.
All diseased, dead, dying, Grip
pled and crooked trees were taken
from the stand and cut into cord
wood. One and one-nalf cords
were removed from the plot. For
ty trees were left standing on the
plot with volume of one and
