 Goss Disqualified
 John Goss, of the Scovill Manu- featuring Company of this city, dis qualified himself to sit on the mer- its of the case because of his resi- dence in this city, and MT. Fisher was named to make the decision for the board of arbitration and medi- ation, of which the local industralist is 8 member.
 The agreement does not attempt to fix rates for piece work opera tions which are varied and differ ent in almost all cases. The com- pany will be considered to be com- plying with the decision of the hour ly earnings of 50 per cent of the operators in any one line of work equal the average.

and is in force until August.
 The Watertown Undergarment Company, now located on Mill street in this city, last year was the scene of a lengthy strike, employees walk ing out when they claimed their pay had been slashed greatly when the superme court invalidated the NRA. The strike was finally settled by arbitration.
 UniOnized Last Year
 During the negotiations before the state board, the factory was repre- sented by Murray Silverman, super intendent, and the workers were represented by Bernard Schub of New Haven, Connecticut manager of the International Ladies Gar ment Workers Union. Employees of factory became affiliated with the union last year when they went on strike.
 Five hundred employees of the undergarment concern, mostly wo- men, will be affected by the agree ment. The decision by the arbitra- ton committee chairman came after study of arguments advanced by both sides during hearings at Hartford.
 Agreement Signed
 Last August the company signed an agreement last August, which was to be effective for year. In March, the company asked that the case be reopened and that the work week be extended to AZ 1-2 hours from 37 1-2 hours, with the same weekly wages prevailing. Company

SUNSHINE FOLLOWS RAIN
BY THE MAN IN THE TOWER

Another day is coming,
 Perhaps fairer one; With skies less leaden and gloomy And perhaps nice war sun. Another day is comig,
 Sunshine always follows rain; Stormy day blues will be forgotten, So runs the glad refrain. Another day is coming,
 When you can wear the Easter hat, And no fears of ducking,
 Absolutely-that's that. Another day is coming,
 So cheer up, pretty maid; Lots of time to sport new clothes, Don't cry about the Easter parade!

the Slav alone. 1t unites exact
pitch with incisive and colorful
rhythms of Russian music of every
type, ranging from the tender nos
talgia of the moujik's ballard of the
soil to the crisp marching beat of
the soldiers song, from the haunt
ing, simple melodies Of the home
land that the distinguished Russian
composers have in many instances
made the basis of their great SYM
phonies to the lyric poems of the
steppes, the river, the forest-now
gay, now sad, now humorous. Their
song sometimes thunders along like
Gogol's trioka, causing earth and
stars to wonder; sometimes it is a
meditative Russia, ~wistful; then
again it is filled with the zest of life
worth living-the enthusiasm of
youth, love and poetry. Their
message is for ALT is stirring.

Says Machine
Saved State
G~ubernatorial Candidate
Not Alarmed at Charge,
But Surprised at
Source

Carthage-Speaking as ca North
Carolinian talking to a North Caro-
%linian, a Democrat who is not will
ing to let an outsiders attack on
the party's record go unanswered, ="
Clyde R. Hoey last week carried his
campaign for Governor into Moore
county.
"The charge has been made that
the Democratic party is machine
controlled" said Hoey to the crowd
gathered in the courthouse here.
It's an old charge. The Republi-
cans have been making it for 80
years, but it is new to hear this line
of attack from a man seeking the
nomination of the party he attacks.
II want to inquire here and now
whether in a Democratic primary
we want to nominate a man who
can find no good in the Demo-
cratic party and its record of IS
years service to North Carolina.
"TIow can a Democrat attack
his party in June and expect to de-
fend it in November?
"However, this charge about
machines is easy for Democrats to
answer. We've been doing it every
time the Republicans made it for
so years. The machine, as every
body knows, is the Democratic Or
ganization without which we could
never have taken the government
of North Carolina from the Repub-
licans.
"The machine is the organization,
made up of the workers of our
party, which has elected the last
six Democratic governors. And
if it had not been for the organi-
z%ation, this machine, as it is called,
North Carolina and the other states
would not have elected that peer
less Democrat, Franklin D. Roose-
welt.

Walker Sets
Pace For
Gotham Males

New York-Tailors who once
acclaimed Jimmy" Walker as
New York's best dressed mayor of
all time have lost none of their al
legiance. Now they believe him
to be the best dressed citizen or
Manhattan island.
flames J. Walker is in a class by
himself when it comes to wearing
Clothes" said John Wilson Steer:
mems fashion stylist. II don't
know of any other man in the city
who has the style sense that our
former mayor has,"
Maurice Bonnet, leading buyer
here for French tailoring houses:
said the former mayor is better
dressed today than ever b~fore.
"For many years Walker prefer
red the more daring type of
Clothes" Bonnet said, "His cri-
tics said that his clothes were
"flashy." AS a matter of fact:
Walker has a superb build and ha:
always known what was correct.
If he prefers to wear a checked
waistcoat to a baseball game, he die
it and the devil with criticism.
IF I had to pick the well-dressec
ed man of New York today, I'd
pick aWlker."
A. T. Auburn, clothes statisti-
clan said that the colorful suits
worn by Walker eight years age
ARE just now coming into their

"All they talk about today is
color in mems clothes,'' Auburn
said. "Walker wore that type of
suit years ago. He drew criticism
then because no one else dared to
wear them"
A check-up On Walkers clothes
purchases recently showed that he
bought two suits the day before
St. Patrick's day, paying SIS for
each.
One Of them was a sport suit
made of a greenish-gray home
spun Barney tweed, made in Ire
land.
1t sounded loud.
Actually it proved to be n of
the smartest spring suits exhibited
here, despite the vivid description,
one of the neatest Offered in town.
1t was displayed in the front win
dow of the most conservative
mems store in New York. Walkers
other purchase was a light business
suit, tannish-gray in color.

apartment recently revealed Walk

Theory shows that rocket of very

The rockets are launched from a
