Workers Council
Holds Meeting

Is it true that craft unions Sc
gregate Negroes while Industrial
Unions of the John L. Lewis type
do not? Do you want me to be-
lieve that a Negro leader in a
craft union would segregate and
slug Negro members the same as
white leader would?
These questions were asked by
Mrs. Margaret McShann, active
member of the Negro Workers
Council, and foremost patron of
Adult Education in the commune
ity.
The discussion that provoked
these questions was the strike
breaking activity of David E.
Grange, president of the Marine
Cooks and Stewards Association,
third vice-president of the Inter
! national Seamens Union (Atlan-
tic Coast), and official spokesman
of all sailors, both Negro and
white, in the port of New York.
Mr.. Grange is a Negro. He was
honored both by white and black
seamen Now, it is alleged that
he is using the nffice and money
entrusted to him to hire scabs
and thugs to starve out his own
men who are on strike.
The Council was placed in the
hands of Mrs. S. Cayton in the
absence of Mr.. A Porter, presi-
dent.
Nominations of officers will be
held on December 10, and election
for the coming year will take
place December 20.

vantages over privet, especially in
slower growth and greater hardness.
Yet the barberry loses its leaves in
Winter and is not easy to keep SYM
metrical. In the last few years, yew
has been made into a desirable hedge
plant by the discovery Of upright
growing forms. Yews hold their green
foliage throughout the year, are very
permanent and hardy and require lit
tie pruning to keep the plants in shape.
The greatest handicap Is the original
cost of plants but, if one is contented
to start with relatively small stock,
the initial cost is not prohibitive. Box
wood makes an attractive edging plant
but is not as hardy as yew, although
more hardy than the common privet.
Many small home places would be
more attractive without any hedges at
all particularly so when the hedge is
permitted to become large Hedges
tend to make the lawn look smaller
than it really is and, instead OF being
ornamental, actually produce the op-
posite effect.
Plants for Baskets.
IT BECOMES somewhat Of a problem
each Spring to know what may be
the best plants to grow in hanging
baskets because conditions in sus-
pended receptacles are not highly
favorable for many species. Usually
one desires trailing plants of rather
strong structure that will not break
easily in the wind and can endure
some neglect in watering. English
ivy, yinca, petunias, trailing geranium
and asparagus are among the plants
one sees used frequently in basket cul-
ture. The asparagus is not the up
right vegetable used for food but pre-
ferably the variety known as Spreng-
eri. This species lives many years and
may be saved over Winter in a lighted
cellar or other place where freezing
does not occur. This asparagus will
survive light frosts. English ivy may
also be brought into the house in Win
ter. Geraniums and petunias offer
the advantage Of flowers but need
more persistent watering and care
than the asparagus or ivy. The fire.
quent watering Of hanging baskets
tends to wash out the plant food in
the soil even though the baskets are
lined and this suggests the need Of
occasional watering with manure water
or weak solution of chemical nutri-
ents.

RULES ON MARGINS
AMENDED BY BOARD
Minor Changes in Requirements
for Banks, Brokers and
Dealers Are Made.

Py the Associated Press.
Minor amendments to regulations
covering margin requirements for
banks. brokers and dealers were an
nounced yesterday by the Federal Re-
serve Board.
Amending regulation 'U," which
concerns requirements for banks, the
board said any bank may make any
loan it sees fit for arbitrage or odd-lot
transactions in registered securities.
In another amendment Of the same
regulation, the board decreed "a bank
may accept the transfer Of loan from
another bank. or permit the transfer
Of loan between borrowers. without
following the requirements of this reg
ulation as to the making OF a loan,
provided the loan is not increased and
the collateral for the loan IS not
changed; and, after such transfer, q
bank may permit such Withdrawals
and substitution OF collateral as the
bank might have permitted II it had
been the original maker OF the loan or
had originally made the loan to the
new borrower"
Regulation ct" covering brokers
and dealers. was amended to permit
brokers carrying restricted special
accounts for correspondent brokers to
allow correspondent brokers to make
any withdrawal or substitution OF COL
lateral which does not create any de-
f1ciency in the account.
Under both regulations "T" and
"U," stocks have loan value of As
per cent of their current market price.

Garden Notes.
DRUMMoND's PHLOX Is a color
ful annual that enjoys mid Sum-
mer conditions and maintains & bril-
liant display throughout the entire
growing period. The plants are small,
but are literally covered with blooms
of various color. white, pink. red and
various combinations and blends.
Beds Of this phlox make q striking
addition to the Summer garden. The
species is q native OF Texas and adja-
cent regions. and, like most of the
plants originating in Eastern North
America, Is very we'll adapted to hot
and dry weather. such as frequently
prevails in July and August. This
phlox Is easily produced from seed
sown In the open garden In May or
early June.
In dry soil, no fertilizer except we'll
rotted manure is OF much use to plants
because the plant takes in It's food in
dilute water solutions. 1t may even
occur that fertilizer may become in
furious when applied too abundantly
in dry periods. Rotted manures are
helpful because they help retain mois-
ture much as would pieces OF sponge
and their active chemicals are in q
very mild form. Those who have lived
on farm may recall volunteer squash
or tomato vines growing actually on
q pile of old rotted stable manure.
The holly blossoms in the Spring
almost unseen but one may note the
small green berries on the female
trees. The holly Is an example OF a
plant whose beauty rests largely in
its colored fruits. Unfortunately, only
about one-half the trees bear fruits.
The SEEDS are SLOW 10 germlnate, not
appearing above ground until the
Spring Of the second year.
The double nasturtigms have be-
come very popular among friends Of
this flower, not only because of their
double flowers, but because Of their
fragrance. Nasturtiums are popular
for use as cut flowers on the table and
the plants. II kept picked and occa-
sionally sprayed to restrain aphids,
will bloom steadily all Summer long.

onward until 1t has now reached Maine
and Eastern Canada. Many prophe-
sled that the invader would not be able
to endure Northern Winters, but it has
survived some of the severest cold in
many decades. Insecticides commonly
used for this pest include magnesium
arsenate, harium fluosilicate and derris
and pyrethrum products, all Of which
are effective when used properly. For
the small home garden derris and py-
rethrum materials are desirable, be-
cause they leave no residues that are
injurious. Shell beans, such as hmas,
the pods of which are not eaten. may
be more eheaply protected with mag
nesium arsenate. Lead arsenate often
causes serious injury to the plants.
Another garden pest is the asparagus
slug, which strips the tops Of their
green and kills them TO the ground.
This defolation seriously cuts into next
years edible product. and If continued
kills the plants. Dusting with arsenate
of lead powder, one part to nine of hy-
drafted lime, will kill the slugs
Aphids are pest on many flowers
and vegetables and may be checked by
rials obtained from garden supply
stores.
Lawn Grasses.
THE regular cutting Of the lawn with
mower exerts a profound infiu-
ence on what kinds of grass survive.
For example, If a portion of hay field
were taken over as lawn, the species
that were particularly useful in pro-
ducing hay would gradually disappear
and be succeeded by low-groWing spe-
cies that produce seed heads or repro
duce by runners or underground stems.
Tall-groWing species, such as timothy
and orchard grass, cannot survive re-
peated close moving. Too close cut
ting, particularly in Midsummer, is
also unfavorable to Kentucky blue
grass, and the industrious home gar
dener who spends hours keeping his
lawn closely clipped may be defeating
his purpose in having fine, attractive
lawn. Some of the bent grasses, par
ticularly those which produce no seed
but are propagated solely by UNDER
ground runners, actually require very
close clipping. These are the grasses
used on the parts of the golf course
where dense, short turf Is desired
Fertilizer. Of course, plays an i'm
portant role in maintaining the lawn
in a thrifty condition, but mid-Sum-
mer Is not good time to apply fer
tilizers, because the material may ben
eft chiefly crab grass and other hot
weather weeds. Early April and Sep
tember are considered much more
favorable times for applying fertilizer
to the lawn. The good kinds OF grass
are then usually growing rapidly and
can make use Of plant food.
The advisability Of removal Of clip
pings from the lawn is a debatable
question. Yet some actual records Of
growth on plants from which clip
pings were and were not removed
showed that removal. results in less
total growth during the year. How
ever, there are exceptions to any rule,
and the leaving Of long clippings may
actually smother the grass beneath.
Judgment is required to determine
prevailing conditions.
