the political and economic life of our
nation is greater than ever before.
"It is clearly evident that dis
eliminating public opinion has drawn
the line between our strongly estab-
lished movement and the dual rebel,
rival movement which has been set up
in opposition thereto. Our forces are
intact, harmony, understanding and
goodwill prevail within our ranks, and
the spirit and morale Of our individual
membership have reached new heights.
GAS we appraise the spirit, courage

forced to the inevitable conclusion that
they will stand immovable in defense
of the economic philosophy and the
principles and policies of the American
Federation of Labor. ss.

Gains In Closed
Shop Agreements
An Increase Of Sixteen Con-
tracts In the Lost
Two Years

New York (ILNS).-Increasingly
favorable contracts from management
have been gained by organized labor
during the last two years, according
to an analysis Of union agreements
just made public by the management
research division of the National In
dustrial Conference Board.
The number of closed shop agree
ments rose from seventeen to thirty
four in the last two years, according
to the study covering ia union con-
tracts. Almost the entire gain was
made by the A. F. of L., which had
twenty-eight contracts with this
clause, in comparison with twelve two
years ago.
The CIO lost ground in this respect,
having only two closed shop agree
ments in 1889 against five in 1887.
Four of the seven independent unions
whose contracts were examined pro-
vided for the closed shop.

existence, that the problems of agri-
culture must be a factor in the con-
ditions of industrial labor"
Clifford V. Gregory, midwestern
agricultural publisher, said that agri-
culture cannot continue to be the
nations shock absorber," that it is
not satisfied with dole from the gov
ernment, and that it wants to live by
the same rule as labor and industry.
"The farmer feels that his work in
1887 and 1888 laid the basis for a
prosperity greater than that of 1929 4;
that the only reason we did not get
it was because industry and labor laid
down on the job," Gregory said.

acceptable, what are now the points
of dispute
Mr.. Zaritsky ridicules the idea that
questions Of basic trade union policy
divide the CIO and the A. +. of L..
"The original issue for the creation
Of the CO." he says, "has long been
disposed Of. 1t is meaningless to say
that the CIO will continue as a sep
arate body as long as the A. F. of L..
will not recognize the principle of in
dustrial unionism. The A. F. Of L..
has long recognized this principle. !
venture to say that there are fully as
many industrial unions within the A.
F. of l.. as within the CIO, and just
as many craft unions within the CIO
as within the A. f. of L."
Mr.. Zaritsky points out that in a
number of states and sections the
members of the CIO and the A. f. of
l.. refuse to fight and have reached
working agreements on local labor
problems. He feels, therefore, that
the strike is continued artificially and
"for abstruse and devious reasons
1t may satisfy "Nhated vanities and
ambitions" he says, "but serves no
other useful purpose"
Mr.. Zaritsky states further that
while the trade unions now have the
largest number of members in their
history, counting both the CIO and the
A. +. of L., their power and influence
are much less than they were when
their numbers were fewer. "They used
to teach" he writes, "that the whole
is never less than the sum of it's parts,
but here is case where the whole is
much less than it's two parts. In fact,
the labor movement with it's eight
million workers is now much less pow
erful than when it had four, three, or
even two million members in it's ranks.
For in the old days, these members
were united and worked more or less
as a competent body, speaking more
or less the same voice. Now that they
are divided, the power Of one is check
ed by that Of the other and the influ-
ence of one is used to destroy that of
the other"
In view of the fact that the oppon-
ents of unionism are gaining the up
per hand in Congress and other legis-
lative bodies, and in view of the
impending presidential elections, Mr..
Xaritsky insists that labor must settle
its differences and mend its fences as
rapidly as possible.
He ends his article by calling for the
peace terms and for a speedy con-
clusion of peace

Lewis for seeking to rule labor and
thereby causing the division, said he
would rather quit his job ''than make
one single contribution toward the
division of labor into warning, fight
ing, hating camps"
A. F. of L. Will Not Be Liquidated
In citing Mr.. Lewis's suggestions for
the liquidation Of both groups, Mr..
Green said the A. F. of L. was fifty
nine years old while the C. l. 0. has
not yet discarded it's swaddling
clothes"
"The significant feature of that
proposal was this" he said. "We had
read it in the official publications and
organs and papers in Soviet Russia,
circulated in Soviet Russia, weeks be-
fore he announced it to the press of
America. That in itself is significant.
"There is the story. My friends,
we have made our contribution. l
have told you the truth. The record
will bear out every word l have utter
ed here this morning.
Notwithstanding we are the parent
body, the old organization, we have
tried to bring back those who left us.
We can't make them come back. We
will welcome them if they will come.
There are no barriers in the way.
"We will re-establish solidarity and
unity if they will come back, but de-
clare now again with all the power at
my command that this movement
founded by Gompers and his associ-
ates which is now part of the insti-
tutional life Of the nation, l declare
to you that never will the American
Federation of Labor be liquidated by
anybody.

A Tip From Musicians to Consumers

The cry for standards blew a sweet
clear note not so long ago when con-
ference of musical experts in London
called for standard for note "a in
the musical scale.
In the United States, "a is stand
ardized at 440 vibrations per second.
In other countries it ranges from 435
vibrations to 442 vibrations per second.
And before the days Of radios, "A was
anything from 1893 to SGT vibrations.
Just as the lack of standard can
sizes introduces confusion into con-
sumner buying, so the non-standard "a
introduces confusion into an orchestra.
The request for a standard "a has
been referred to the international
Standards Association which will then
refer it for action to the countries
affiliated with the Association.

Gasoline by Grade

North Carolina motorists know
what quality of gas they get when
they ride up to their filing stations.
All they have to do is to ask for
North Carolina Premium or North
Carolina Regular or North Carolina
Motor That State has a law which
requires all gasoline sold to be quality
graded. These are the three grades,
from top to lowest quality.
Depending on the kind of car they
drive, motorists can decide for them
selves which Of the 8 grades is most
economical for them to use. The low
est grade, North Carolina Motor for
example, is not suitable for automo-
biles with high compression motors.
This gasoline must be free, however,
from water and suspended matter; it
must have an octane rating of at least
60, and it must not contain more than
a stated amount of gum and sulphur.
North Carolina Regular gasoline
must meet higher standards, and have
an octane rating of 6S. The Premium
gasoline must score even higher, with
an octane rating of rs.
Specifications for the grades have
been worked out by the chemists OF
the North Carolina Gasoline and Oil
Inspection Division of the State De-
partment of Revenue. They are based
on number of chemical tests.
Gasoline destined for North Car
olina automobiles is graded originally
at the refneries. Inspection begins
with the arrival of the gasoline in the
State. Gasoline which does not meet
the requirements for the lowest grade
may not be sold in the State at all
A crew of chemists and inspectors
travelling in trailer laboratory, police
gasoline sales at retail stations.
So that the grades can be easil!
identified by consumers, pumps selling
different grades are marked with dis
tinguishing colors.

Grapes on the Fruit Calendar


Grapes are sweetest when they are
plump and mature, not shriveled or
decayed
Look over the grape container be-
fore you buy, If it is leaky and stained,
1t is sure sign of decay. You can
also tell decay in grapes by presence
Of mold or wet berries.
Grapes at their best-regardless of
their variety-should have fresh ap-
pearance, as indicated by their plump
ness and high color, and should be
firmly attached to the stems. Avoid
those that are dried or shriveled.
High color means well-developed
sugar content and good flavor. Some
grapes remain green in color even
when ripe, but most turn amber when
at their best.
Frost Injuries grapes, leaves the fruit
rather fiat in flavor. You can tell a
frost-bitten grape by it's dull appear
ance, sickness, milky appearance, or
by the fact that the stem, extending g
into the berry is discolored and short,

How To Clean Papered Walls

Some wall papers are guaranteed
washable; others can be easily ruined
by application of moisture. If you
want to keep your walls looking fresh,
remember these rules:
Dust the paper regularly and COM
pletely. Otherwise dirt may become
imbedded in the wall. A soft duster
or an outing flannel bag on broom
will do the job. A stiff-bristle brush
may injure the paper
Too much water on washable paper
may easily soak it off. A very mild
soap solution, applied carefully with
soft sponge to heavier type wash
able wall paper will be successful On
light washable papers, use a clear
lukewarm water with no soap. Dry the
wall with a soft cloth after rinsing.
Commercial pastes or powders sold
on the market can clean papered walls,
but directions should be followed to
the letter, if streaks and spots are to
be avoided. Try the cleaner behind
picture or door first to be sure the
color or pattern doesn't come Off along
with the dirt.
If the paste works, clean a strip of
the paper at time, working from top
down, and overlap each strip Of the
paste cleaner to avoid streaks.
You can make your own paste with
this recipe: 2 cups Of flour, | cup of
warm water, 2 tablespoons of salt,
tablespoons of kerosene and 4 table,
spoons of household amonia Mix these
together, cook in a double boiler over
boiling water until the paste no longer
sticks to your hand when rolled be-
tween the fingers, then cool in a COW
cred pan.
Fresh grease spots-from oily hair,
for cxample-usuaIly come Off the wall
if hot iron is pressed against "A
blotter held on the spot. Two or 3
applications may be necessary, but be
careful not to scorch the wall.

Washington Observations
Congress Refusal Of Neutrality Program Held
Like Interference With Conduct Of War

George c. Marshall, Army chief of
staff, and Admiral William D. Leahy,
chief of naval operations. The Ma
ton would strip for action under
those leaders in a spirit of justified
confidence. 1t would have that con-
fidence for two sufficient reasons,
Cd because Marshall and Leahy are
fitted for their jobs, and ca be-
cause they are in possession of all
available information about the mill
tary and naval situation. They
would know best what to door not
to do.
Congress Would Not Interfere.
Does any reader of The Star be-
lieve the country would tolerate
congressional interference with mill
tary and naval operations, except IN
case of demonstrated inefficiency?
If Capitol Hill would and should
mind its own business respecting the
conduct of war, why isn't there in
cumbent upon House and Senate an
equally urgent duty not to obstruct
or instruct the men now trying to
prevent war. or, if war be inevitable,
are doing their best in advance to
avoid our being drawn into conflict
between other nations? What evi-
dence is there that Bill Borah, Hiram
Johnson, Bennett Clark, Gerald Nye,
Arthur Vandenberg, Styles Bridges
and Hamilton Fish are any more
jealous of Americas welfare than
Franklin Roosevelt, Cordell Hull,
Sumner Welles, George Messersmith,
Key Pittman, Alben Barkley, Speak
er Bankhead, Jim WadsWorth, Bruce
Barton, Sol Bloom and Sam Ray
burn? What right have the arms
embargo diehards to think they have
monopoly on either patriotism,
wisdom or information?
Do We Favor Friends or Foes?
Do lsolationistS possess inside
knowledge about the international
situation more reliable than the
facts at the disposal of the State
Department? Do they believe that
gentlemen from Idaho, California,
Missouri, North Dakota, Michigan,
New Hampshire and the Hudson
River Valley are better posted about
what the United States ought to do,
in its own interest, at this critical
international hour, than our wide
awake observers in London, Paris,
Berlin, Rome. Moscow and Toxic
are? Do arms-embargo Zealots seri-
ously suspect that our representa-
tives abroad are in conspiracy with
the State Department and the White
House to plunge the United States
into direct or indirect war commit
ments? And, finally, with war
threatening, do isolationists think
Congress should enact law to favor
the side with which American SYM
pathy lies or do they conceive it to
be the duty of Congress to ham,
string and handicap our friends?

munity enterprise, organized on a
nom profit basis, the officers and
directors serving without pay, and
the stockholders subscribed the cap
ital under an agreement which pro-
hibits payment of interest and divi-
dends on the investment.
The issue is really not related to
the right of unions to carry on
their closed-shop operations. The
Government says nothing about how
private shipping shall be conducted.
There is no issue of wages or hours
or conditions of employment, but
merely whether crews shall be hired
according to the method prescribed
by a union or by the Government
of the United States. Once the prin-
ciple is conceded that unions may
tell the Government how to hire its
employees, the way is opened not
merely to strikes on behalf of par
ticular groups, but for the surrender
to unions of the right to determine
when and how workers for the Gov
ernment shall be dismissed.
