North Carolina Textile
Workers Win Pay Boost
By A. F. Of L. News Service.

By A. F. of L. News Service.
The employees, numbering about
5000 Of the various plants of the Cone
mills in Greensboro, N. G., have been
notified that they will receive sub
stantial increase in wages. The plants
are the White Oak Cotton Mills, the
Proximity Mills, the Proximity Print
Works and the Revolution Cotton
Mills.
The extent of the wage increase is
not known, as a general checkup of
the payrolls will be necessary in order
to arrive at what the management
regards as an equitable schedule.
Oservers interpreted the pay boost
decision as an attempt by the company
to quiet evident dissatisfaction among
the employees because of low wage
rates.
Announcement has also been made
of an adjustment in wages at the Can

SOCIAL and DANCE
GRAND SUCCESS

The social and dance which was
held in the large Moose auditorium
last Saturday night by the CO.
operative Trades and Labor Council,
was a grand success throughout.
Little did the committee think that
they were going to have such Won
derful attendance. The auditorium
was packed to the doors.
Every one there was we'll pleased
with the floor show, which was secur-
ed from Cincinnati, and was the best.
1t was impossible to estimate the
attendance, because when some left
for their homes, others came and en-
joyed themselves until late. The
committee is well pleased with the
patronage received and extends
thanks to all who assisted in making
the entire affair a success.

MURRAY ASSURED
LONG VA. STAY

Ifor a miracle, and human beings
are not miracle men.
Murray faces a tremendous
task. Indeed, he faces what
football men all over the country
accept as an impossible task. It's
the sort of a job Frank Murray
reliShes. He faced the same con-
dition at Marquette years ago
when he took over the reins at
the Hilltop university in Mil
waukee.
Frank Murray is a patient man.
He's a diplomat. He's clever. He
knows football inside and out.
He has the knack of imparting
information in efficaciouS manner.
Young men rally to his cause on
the gridiron much as they rallied
to the cause of the great Knute
Rockne. If it's at all possible to
do the job, Frank Murray will do
it. Even so, fairness demands
that Murray be given the right
amount of time to prove once
again that he is, indeed, a truly
great gridiron coach.

MEXICO CITY, March "a
When Connie Mack's 1896 cellar
dwellers step to bat in the pre-sea
son opener before President Roose
velt April 10 at Washington, the
74-year-old patriarch IS quite con
fident that he will be directing
something better than the worst
team in the American League.
This much he said today, and
this much all spring training per
formances bear out.
'T don't think we're q last
place club any more" Connie
said. "If the pitchers improve as
/ expect, we may even be clam
bering toward the top of the Sec
Ond division; l wouldn't predict
anything better than that.
CLUB SPIRIT GOOD
However, / am highly pleased
with the spirit of this club; it is
one of the scrappiest I ever had.
The play Of Chubby Dean at first
base, the fire Of Bill Werber at
third, the improvement in our
catching, and q better Outfield
ought to make us a better club.
The infield, with Chalmers Cis-
sell at second base, should hit
around .275, raising our team av-
erage which was awful last year.
"That means it's up to my
pitchers. They need a year or so
to hit the peak, but there's
good chance they'll surprise and
make . good showing in the
coming race.
Gas for the probable winner,
with Hank Greenberg and
Mickey C0chrane back in action,
Detroit may give New York q
great run for the flag. The BOS-
ton Red SOx are another posi-
bility II they can get going, and
Washington can't be overlooked
