AraIOn Mill
Is Reopening
This Morning

The Avalon Hosiery Mill was
scheduled to reopen tbs morning
after being closed down for a day,
it was learned last night from
C.. o. Robinson. president of the
Elizabeth City Hosiery Mills.
The reopening of the mill this
morning gave confederation to
rumorS that the management
closed the mill only as a protest
to the presence here of Henry
Adams. organizer for the Ameri-
can Federation of Hosiery Work
erS.
Mr.. Adams came here last Fri
day morning and called a meet
ing of Local 119, A. F. of H. W.,
for Friday night. The Avalon
Mill handed out weekly pay
checks just before noon Friday.
instead of at the usual time in
the afternoon and then the mill
was closed down until further
notice"
1t was understood at the time
that the management was only
protesting against Mr.. Adams
meddling and intended to reopen
the mill as soon as he should
make his departure. Adams left
here Saturday morning.
Upwards of $50 local hosiery
workers attended the meeting
Friday night and reaffirmed their
allegiance to the hosiery workers
union.
That's perfectly all. right with
me-" commented Mr.. Robinson. i
don't care how may of my workers
belong to the union. That's their
privilege. But / do resent having

me what l may do and what l

Facing the Industrial
West, Kansan Must
Face the Issue That
He Has Lately So
Avoided.

Columbus. O., Oct. II. -U.H-
Alf M. Landon may make
his long expected appeal for the
labor vote as he swings through
industrial Ohio tomorrow in quest
of the pivotal" states electoral
vote, it was indicated tonight.
Turning from the state capital,
the Republican presidential nomi-
nee will make three rear-platform
talks tomorrow before his special
train stops among the smoke
stacks and factories of Akron.
There, it was understood, he may
strike at the Roosevelt admins
tration's appeal to labor by his
first campaign speech on that
subject.
Gov. Landon in the past has in
sisted in formal statements and
otherwise, upon the right of labor
to organize free from ANY inter-
ferencc"-either on the past of
employers or the government. But
during his campaign, he has refer
rcd on'y briefly to his labor stand.
After his appearance at Akron
shortly before noon, he will con-
tinuc to Cleveland, where he is
scheduled to arrive at lis p. m,
for major address on relief and
employment tomorrow. 1t will be
the second of three major
speeches on his tour through the
front battle line states of Illinois,
Ohio, Michigan and Indiana. The
third, possibly on the constitution
or on federal administration, will
be at Detroit Tuesday evening.
The Kansas governor spent a
rcStful Sunday, part of it as a
guest of Harry P. Wolfe, a promi-
nent figure in Ohio political af-
fairs. He attended church at the
Kings Avenue Methodist church in
the morning.
The nominees visit to Ohio
found the state apparently close
ly divided on the presidential cam
paign. AS in each of the vital
states on the present campaign
journey, the result appeared like
ly to be decided in November by
one of the narroWeSt margins in
many years, the political experts
reported.

name of Rep. William Lemkc,

Townsend, adhercntS claimed.
They named CalifOrnia-Where
the pension vote is considered very
Strong-Florida and Oklahoma as
three states where tonight's state
ment most likely will result in
Landon pluralitieS.
Because of the millions who
favor the Townsend National Re

am dcsirouS of fully explaining
my political views regarding the
November elections. 1t is impcr-
ative that President Roosevelt be
defeated November third if VIC are
to enact the plan into a law dur
ing the next administration. Mr..
Roosevelt has given silent assent
tC the political campaign Wagcd
against our organization under
the guiSc Of Investigations by the
ne Wdeal. Mr.. Roosevelt is against
the Townsend National Recovery
Plan. Therefore Mr.. Roosevelt
must be defeated.
My organization and myself
have endured constant presecu-
ton and ridiCule-DeSpitc these
things we have grown and con-
>tinue to grow in membership. We
have asked no favor from either
major party. We have asked but
one enactment of the
Townsend National Recovery Plan
into a law of the land.
Our strength has already been
felt. You see it with the passage
of the new deals So-called social
security plan. You see it with
the sudden interest in old age

issue. The enactment of the

Litchfield, ILL.,, Oct. 11.-W.R)-
1t cost reporters SIS each tonight
to get copies of a sermon by the
Rev. l.. A. Crown on the worlds
most horrible sin"-after he had
conducted a poll on the subject
that reached into 35 states.
Il just decided to make some
thing for myself out of the idea, "
Crown explained to newspaper
men.
Then he announced that the
worlds most horrible sin was-not
the coveting of money or greed -
but abuse of high privilege"
That idea, he said, was suggested
to him by a widow, Mrs. Lizzie
Largent, 60. She received a paint
ing of Christ as first prize.
Eight hundred persons Crown
said, sent in letters telling what
they thought was the most hor-
rlblc SIN.
An audience which packed the
church to it's doorway and left
others standing outside came to
hear Crown announce the winner.
He started the contest as a means
of drawing his own congregation
to his sermons.

press and Christians all have been

down across his desk at Raleigh

do, with Bill Everett, local ferry
man and famed herring packer,
he is scheduled for a new slant on
the way state bridges can affect

No Columbus Day
Parade For E. City

Today is Columbus Day, and
the Roman Catholic church will
take cognizance of the day and
Americans of Italian extraction
will celebrate the birthday of the
noted navigator, but there will be
no Columbus Day parade in Eliza
beth City.
If Elizabeth City were to have
a Columbus Day, however, it un-
doubtedly would be led by the Boy
Scout Drum and Bugle corps. of
which Leo P. Louis, Elizabeth
City's only citizen of Italian par
entage. is the director.
Mr.. Louis real name is Leopold
Luigi, but he changed it to Louis
years ago. His father was a noted
musician, a one-time director Of
the navy band and one-time tutor
of John Philip Sousa.
Elizabeth City's foreign popula.-
tion is negligible. 1t consists of a
few Greeks, a few Germans. one
Italian, few Assyrians, and few
Jews, most of whom are regarded
as pretty good citizens.
