Lord Kitchener post, British War Veterans, will hold the first of three amateur night programs Saturday night at the post hall on Scovill street. Winners of the three contests, which will be held weekly, will meet in final con- test to be held May IA.

a sum sufficient to pay the entire
public debt in less than a decade.
The paramount question there
fore is: Will proflt-sharing aid in
meeting the problems involved in
employer-employe relationship in
the more than 80 per cent Of the
two million business enterprises in
the United States which do not now
employ profit-sharing plan?
Since the system of private cap
italisln Is expressly designed to pro-
vide opportunity for each and all
to invest with that measure of eco
nomic independence, which under a
free government and a free econ
omy enables a man to be and to do
his best, the fair distribution of
newly created wealth at its source
on an equitable basis offers a just
and proper division of the fruits of
industry, consonant with the prin-
ciples upon which American de-
mocracy is founded.
Encouraged by Results.
I cannot emphasize too strongly
that this survey Is a mutually help
full enterprise-and that we have
solicited the cooperation of both
employer and worker on a volun-
tary basis only.
After several months of investi-
cation and research, we are en-
couraged by the completely salts
factory results obtained thus far,
wherein industrial leaders and their
employees have given the committee
the fullest measure of helpful CO.
operation. The committee deeply
appreciates the assistance which
has been received from all sources
and they are many.
When this survey has been COM
pleted the Government will have
made available to all interested en-
ployers and employees report of the
experiences, favorable and other
wise, of all profit-sharing and extra
compensation plans operative in
the United States today, and like
wise the argument for and against
any suggested legislation in con-
nection with compensatory tax ex-
emptions and rewards and incentive
taxation.
The members of the committee
hope it will be as fruitful of results
as the survey itself has been valu-
able. We believe that solution of
our grave problems of unemploy-
ment and reduced national income
can be found. We believe that the
profit system can be made to work
in the interest of employer and en-
ploye. Prof1t-sharing may be the
answer.

q hard-and-fast work week of five
8-hour days as a result of q refer

They voted, 31,303 to 16,345,
against a proposal to loosen union
laws to allow 6-day or 4-day week
under certain conditions. Woodruff
Randolph, secretary-treasurer, an
nounced at I. T. U. headquarters
here last night the vote on this and
other propositions put to referen-
dunn by the September international
convention in Birmingham.
A union law provides for a maxi
mum 8-hour day and 5-day week.
The proposition was for a maximum
6-day week, but with a local union
still bound to reserve the right to
require members to work only S
days when substitutes were avail
able. In practice, Mr.. Randolph
explained, member would have
worked S days and hired a substi-

The proposed law would have au-
thorized unions to adopt a 4-day
week for not longer than 80 days
during emergencies like newspaper
suspensions and consultations, with
consent of the I. T. U. Executive

They like to watch the price OF aluminium come

So, right from the beginning, they have backed

CALVIN'S DIGEST

Harlem Agreement

there IS considerable speculation
/ as TO the ultimate value Of the
agreement recently signed between
the Uptown Chamber Of Commerce
Of New York, which is the officia
business body of the Harlem area
and the Greater New York Coordi-
mating Committee, which has led the
tight for the opening up Of new
white collar jobs for Harlemites in
their own community.
by the terms Of the agreement
Negroes are to get one third OF the
white collar jobs in the retail stores
Of Harlem, and already signs of the
fulfilling Of the agreement are not
ed. The writer paid his gas bill last
week to colored man IN the gas
company Office, which is something
absolutely new In his eighteen years
Of residence in Harlem. In almost
every store in 125th street, Negroes
are employed in jobs well above the
grade Of menial.
Of great Importance in the signing
Of this agreement, we think, is the
recognition accorded the Negro
group to bargain collectively. Fortu--
nately, Negroes did not have to win
this right as such. White labor won
it. Negroes simply moved in and
benefited by it. But Negroes could
not have benefited by the right al
ready won had they not acted as a
unit. We think the fact that whites
treated with Negroes as a Negro unit
is important. 1t shows that il Ne
groes organize and stand their
ground, they can get what they go
after get some things, Of social ini-
portance, which white labor would
not necessarily be interested IN see
ing Negroes have.
Of course this means the total de-
struction Of the old interraeial plan
of action, which is still in vogue IN
the South. This plan calls for few
prominent Negroes going to the
white folks and doing the Uncle
Tom act. The New Negro which
means the young Negro, will not
stand for this strategy, and We are
clad to see that the people Of the
Citv Of New York have themselves
aeouiesced in throwing this anti

Commerce Reports

commerce Reports
We have been reading the reports
OF Negro retail business in different
cities sent out by the Department of
Commerce from Washington. The
reports only affirm what We already
know, that the Negro group, in the
process Of living, earns and spends a
tremendous amount of money, but
their own business men get an in
finitesimal part Of it.
The great question is, what can
Negro business men d. to get more
Of the business Of their own people?
IF Negro business men had half the
business of their own people, there
would be several merchant princes
in our group.
At best, it will be a long hard
road to travel-getting Negro busi-
ness into the hands of Negro busi-
ness men. Why? We have not been
trained to do business with ourselves,
and to do our thinking and planning
in terms of keeping dollars within
our own circle. One Of our greatest
weaknesses is, the first thing we do
when we get money is to make
show, which means we buy luxuries,
and luxuries are not made by Ne
groes, but by the other group. Our
great need is to become economical
" self sufficient as individuals,
which means we will have to save
our money. Any Negro who has
500 is important, but few Negroes
have 500 because they would rath-
er have what 500 will buy, because
they can show that. III we can ever
realize as agroup that $100 in the
bank is worth more than $100 worth
Of any goods except the necessities
of life, then we will be on the road
to economic independence. To keep
500 means we have to think and
plan, and if we think hard enough to
keep 500 we will think about
spending it, and that is where we
will think about spending it with our
own people 50 we can get the 500
back as quickly as possible. The
more money that circulates in our
group, the more money we can all
have.

WATCH RAM LINE
IS FLAHERTY'S TIP
Power Apt to Astound Fans
in Clash Here Sunday,
Skins Coach Holds.
By RAY FLAHERTY,


Coach. Champion Washington Redskins.
Before discussing the power Of the
Cleveland line which will oppose the
Redskins Sunday, let me clear up a
misunderstanding over Ace Parker's
play which seems to prevail whenever
last Sundays game is discussed That
Is the fact that many spectators
thought Parker's passing ability had
been overrated when they saw one
after another Of the former Duke
stars aerials 60 astray.
AS a matter of fact, Parker wasn't
tossing any wild passes: on the con-
trary, he was playing smart ball by
throwing many of his heaves away
Intentionally. That is. he was rushed
so fast that he would have been thrown
for a big loss on numerous occasions if
he hadn't gotten rid Of the ball.
Hence what appeared to be wild, ILL
aimed tosses in reality were ground
saving throws.
Stars Kept on Bench.
The power Of the Ram line which
will be on display at Grinith Stadium
this week end Is best revealed when
one knows that such players as Vic
Markov, the best college tackle in the
country last year and University Of
Washington's all-America; Ray Hamil-
ton, Arkansas 6-foot 4-inch end, and
Johnny Kovatch, Northwestern's great
end who helped beat us both at Chi
cago and Dallas, didn't even start for
the Rams last week.
If that trio can't break into line,
then that line must have something.
Yet only two Of the seven men up
front" played with Cleveland last year
Ralph Miller, a tackle two years ago
for Rice, and Chuck Cherundulo, a
center from Penn State. The other
five men are all new to the Rams,
although Lewis, an all-America tackle
from Ohio Wesleyan in 1885, played
with the Giants in '36 before taking
coaching Job last year.
Benton Sparkling End.
At left end Cleveland will have Jim
Benton, another giant from Arkansas,
who stands feet 5 in his stocking
feet. He not only is great pass
receiver, but good blocker and good
defensive man. At left guard will be
Marcel Chesbro, Colgate's captain last
year, who has been converted from his
regular tackle position. Chesbro played
tackle for the East team In the annual
East-West game.
At the other tackle post will be
Chuck Ream, 225-pounder from Ohio
State. who is so fast that Coach Hugo
Bezdek was considering using him as
an end. At the other end is Johnny
Stephens from Marshall College, who
I am told, Is another great fankman
He must be to keep guys like Kovatch
and Hamilton on the bench.
