City Asked
To Finance
Chamber of c ON :
merce Presents Peti-
ton on Behalf of Mer-
chants for Handling
Christmas Promotion
BY FRED M. ALLEN, JR.,
Secretary, Henderson Chamber
NJ Cnrnrnnr0n

The Henderson Chamber of Com
mercc has turned over to the mayor
of Henderson a proposal which asks
the City Council to undertake the
finance of the annual Christmas
decorations which are placed on Gar
nett street throughout the month of
December. Merchants and many
others have felt for some time that
this is civic undertaking that should
be borne by all in a very slight de-
gree instead of a relatively few sup
porting the entire cause
BY far the great majority Of mer-
chants have requested the Cham
Der of Commerce to take this matter
up with the city council, and follow
ing this request, all figures and in
formation have been turned over tc
the mayor to be presented to the
council at the July meeting to be helc
on the fourth Monday in July, al
which time the budget will be ar
ranged for the year of 1939-4O.
Some several thousand dollars
worth of bulbs, wiring and other
equipment now owned by the Cham
Der Of Commerce, will be turned
over to the city should they be will
ing to finance the decorations from
year to year. The majority of other
cities and towns in North Carolina
beautify their cities at Christmas
through city funds.
Since the principal equipment is
now owned, the project will only
cost the city between four and five
hundred dollars per year, this amount
depending on the amount of green
cry erected with the lights. Last year
$3.50 was spent for green decorations
so the effect is noticeable by day as
we'll as night. Bulbs must be replaced
to a certain extent each year, and
12O bulbs were replaced last year
costing $17.14, In all, $522.49 was
spent last year, and as stated before
this amount fluctuates according to
the extent of additional decorations
There is no doubt that the Christ
mas lights add much to Henderson
during December and are enioyed
by all the citizens of Henderson as
we'll as making pleasing display to
those passing through the city. Sur
veys have been made of other cities
in North Carolina and this reveals
that the great majority OF towns rec
ognlze decorations as a citywide duty
and not one for only a few indivi-
duals
At the July Council meeting, q
number of Henderson merchants
have expressed their intention of be-
ing present to request and urge the
city authorities TO undertake this
proposal which would not affect the
tax rate in any way.

Broun ReIeded 10 The
Presidency Of American
Newspaper Guild ((I0)

SAN FRANCISCO.-(FP)-A I'M
animous vote by reclamation re-
elected Haywood Broun to his sixth
term as president of the American
Newspaper Guild (CIO) at the close
of the organizations sixth annual
convention.
Surprising unanimity was shown
in the delegates action on resolu-
tions. A resolution condemning the
Rev. Charles E. Coughlin as "an
enemy of progressive unionism, a
harbinger of fascism, a would-be
strikebreaker" was adopted after
Broun, speaking as a Catholic lay
man, persuaded the convention to
delete a section asking the church
authorities to take disciplinary ac-
ton. The resolution was submitted
by Jack Morris, a Hearst striker
from Chicago and also a Catholic.
Independent political action was
again indorsed, and the guilds execu-
tive board was directed to create a
special committee to support the
New Deal in 1910. Reactionary con-
gressmen were rebuked for gripping
WPA, and the delegates demanded
that WPA jobs be given to all I'M
employed workers willing to work.

DENVER.-(FP)-The Wagner act
was hailed as a force tending to re-
duce strikes and other ALDERMAN
agement conflict by Pres. Reid Rob-
inson of the Init. Union of Mine,
Mill and Smelter Workers (CIO) in
a report to the unions 36th con-
vention here. 1.-THE passage of the
Wagner act seems to have had a
direct effect upon our industry in
reducing the duration of strikes and
thus the hardships of the strikes
upon the workers." Robinson de-
clared.
Pres. Michael ]. Quill of the Trans
port Workers Union (CIO) de-
nounced employer attempts to smear
the brand of ism" and godlessness
on legitimate labor organizations.
Sure our members are better
church members than ever before"
he told the delegates. ''They used
to work "a hours a week and there
was no time for church and no
money for the collection plate either.
Now they have time to go to church
and higher wages makes money for
the collection plate.
"a man can be a much better
American, too, when a union makes
it possible for him to have the 4th
of July off, with pay, to go out under
a tree and read the Constitution.
Why should the companies now
worry about the souls of their work
ers? Our contention is that if the
companies will take care of their
bodies, the workers will work over
time taking care of their souls"
Defense of the Wagner act and
New Deal legislation from reaction
airy attack was a key task outlined
for the union in the coming year
by Robinson, who exhorted the dele
gates to make labor's weight count
in coming election battles.

Company Continues Negoi fions
With Go and A. F. Of |. locals

A negotiating committee representing the Butte Miners Union, Station
airy Engineers No. SO, and Smeler Workers from Great Falls and Ana
conda met with officials of the Anaconda Co on Aug 7 and resumed
negotiations which were begun July II.
The committee requested al answer to the demands previously sub
mhted and the company countered by asking certain changes in the
agreements with the miners and hosting engineers. All they want is the
abolition of the closed shop and the way opened for a rival miners union
These proposed changes would be serious indeed if the company officials
were serious in their position and this is to be doubted. 1t is hardly likely
that after five years of industrial peace, they would attempt to bring on
a frst-class industrial war.
The committee took these proposals under advisement and requested
that negotiations proceed on the question of a 20 per cent increase in
wages. Several hours Of discussion followed with the company stating

NO MAN SHALL STARvE
IN This NATION
Traitors Repudiste Party Pledge.

Roosevelt-hating Democrats joined
hands with the reactionary Republi-
cans and had absolute control of
Congress, during the last week of
the session. Eager to discredit the
administration, they scuttled the
lending bill and destroyed the
housing program. These two mea-
sures, with the curtailed relief plan,
were all that was left of the admin
istration's effort to carry the nation
on towards unemployment, busy
factories, purchasing power of the
masses and business stimulation.
The wreckage of these measures
shows that partisan politics of 1910
has already stifled the nations hopes
of any constructive action by this
Congress.
Many of these Democratic House
members rode into office on the
nations confidence in Franklin D..
Roosevelt, his politics and his aims,
as many persons believed with the
President that wealth must be bet
ter distributed in every part of the
country and Jared from the control
of the money barons of Wall Street.
They have blasted the hopes of
hundreds of thousands of workers
for food, shelter and clothing this
winter. They have played into the
hands of unemployment; they have
put terror into the minds of people
who were told, NOBODY SHALL
STARVE IN THIS NATION" But
most of all they have played into
the hands of the aristocracy Of the
Republican ranks, who could never
see further than the inside of their
money vaults. They have scuttled
the hopes of reform by the masses,
who can no longer look toward a
liberal viewpoint of the Democratic
party and their action strikes at the
hopes of the Democratic party in
1910.
Today there are some who are
tired of Roosevelt; tired of his ideal
ism; jealous of his magnetism, and
the arch conservative, who pirates of
rugged individualism and the Con-
stitution, has snatched his lantern

PUBLIC INVITED TO
WELFARE MEETING

Chairman Henry Mernin of the
Silver Bow County Welfare Council
has called a general council meet
ing of the organization to be held
Sunday, August 20, at 2 p. m. in the
Miners Union hall at Park and Wy
oming streets. 1t is urgently re-
quested that every labor union, civic
~fraternal and political organization
be represented by their delegates
and any and all Individual citizens
interested in the deplorable situa-
ton confronting our community due
to the inadequate financial provision
made to county welfare boards by
the State Welfare Board also be
present.
Since the last general meeting the
secretary has mailed out numerous
letters to business firms and the
clergy and priesthood in an effort
to secure their interest and support
in behalf Of the welfare movement.
The interest shown by members of
the clergy has been very gratifying
and we are looking forward to hav-
ing either the pastors or other rep
resentatives of their congregations
present at next meeting.
A special invitation is extended TO
business firms and Independent mer-
chants who may have noticed that
the decrease in the amount of cash
that their customers have had to
spend with them who are dependent
upon some form of public assistance
is beginning to make corresponding
decreases in their volume of sales
and net profits so here's hoping for
a good representation from the mer-
chants and business interests as we
feel confident that by helping others
you will also be helping yourselves.

Daughter Heads Picket
Line on Anniversary Of
Fathers Death in Strike

KENOSHA, Wis.-(FP)-On Sun
day, July 80, 7~-year-old Jacquelyn
Ann Engelmann trudged manfully
at the head of the picket line before
the Kohler plant neal Sheboygan.
Behind her in silent, solemn pro-
cession marched some $50 men and
women who walked in another picket
line with Henry Engelmann, her
father, on July 27, 1894, the day he
was shot and killed by Walter j.
Kohler's special deputies. J~acquelyn
AIMS second birthday came the
week he was buried.
Every working day since mid
summer of that year undaunted
strikers have carried their banners
in front of the Kohler gates.
Sundays line of march was
marked with unusual solemnity, for
it was a part of the 5th annual mem
orial services conducted by Kohler
strikers for Engelmann and for Lee
Wakefield, another Kohler worker
who fell in the blast of gunfire on
that fateful day.
Jacquelyn Ann beamed proudly as
she carried a wreath of roses later
laid on her fathers grave. Engel-
mann's parents and the parents of
Lee Wakefield, slightly bowed,
marched too.
They marched past the sprawling
plumbing fixtures plant and past
Kohler village-the touted model
village" which former Gov. Kohler,
the "bathtub king" rules like a
feudal baron-to the Kraedemann
farm in the open country.
There under the hot sun JAG
Friedrich, organizer for the Milwau-
kee Federated Trades Council, retold
the history of his long, bitter strike,
and former Rep. Thomas R. Amlie
praised the bravery of men and
women fighting against industrial
autocracy for the liberties of free
men,"
