FARM PROGRAM FOR
1889 BEING FRAMED
First Real Test of Farm
Act of 1888 Being
Offered Farmers

Following the announcement in
August OF the general outlines of
the 1899 farm program every eff
fort has been made in Maryland
to work out the detailed provi-
SiOnS of the program as they af-
feet individual farmers, according
to c. q. Kellar, State Executive
Officer. Wheat acreage allot-
ments have already been an
nounced to individual farmers and
the completed program is now
ready to present, details of which
will be made available within the
next few months.
According to Mr.. KelMr. the
1899 program offers farmers the
flrSt real test of the program con-
templated under the Farm Act of
1888. He points out that in 1898
the program was not available
until after the wheat crop had
been planted and farmers were
ready to plant other crops For
1889 farmers were advised as to
their wheat allotments prior to
seeding wheat and will know weiI
ahead of time what the program
offers them and they can make
their plans accordingly.
The program encourages soil
conservation, level of agricul-
tural production that will meet
the country's domestic require
ments and all possible export
markets, and yet provide an ade-
quate reserve. These detectives
are to be accomplished through
acreage goals or allotments for
soil-depleting crops and by con-
serving the soil Of the crop-land
that is not used for growing COM
mercial crops.

Ifc'S SrcctCSt Song
BY Harry Troupe Brewer


The hardest work in the world to
do
thinks to loaf the whole time
through;
None in the world can sing a
song
Who idles through the whole day
long.
The happy man is the busy man
Ever doing the best he can;
Every man will seek to build
If his heart with right is filled;
The idle man was never known
To help in what needs to be sown
Who's satisfied to loaf along
Has never learned LIES sweetest
song.

BOthic Denies
All Charges by
Mount Olivet

Denial Of charges made by men,
bers of Mount Olivet Baptist
Church last week was registered by
the Rev. J. c. Bothic, formerly the
pastor, in a ter-point statement.
He charged that statements made
in his farewell address and chal-
lenged by members as not being
accurate were true. He denied that
he told the church to stop payments
on the back salary of a previous
pastor.
An allegation that he abolished
the trustee board was also denied
by the pastor. The assertion that
he had "disgraeed the church in
Omaha" was branded as untrue by
the pastor.
A statement was also made by
the church's representatives that
the Rev. Mr.. Bothie had been die
tatorial in dealing with certain
members. He denied this also.
Further statements on his side of
the matter will be made at the
proper time, the pastor stated.

Local SIG Has
Moved to New
Union Offices

In a statement to the press this
week the Dining Car Union No. SIG
issued the following statement:
Dining Car Employees Union,
Local No. SIG, has moved from 460
Rondo street to large, spacious Of
fees at 443 Rondo street. The new
headquarters, aside from providing
private office space for officers and
clerical hire, also provides an as
sembly room for holding meetings,
and another room for general dis
cussions and socializing among its
members.
The present paid membership of
No. Sic is 23S fully paid, and COM
prises two (2) districts, st. Paul
and Seattle, aside from represent
ing the collective bargaining agen-
cy for all the Dining Service EN-
ployees in st. Paul and Minneapo-
lis.
This organization has been made
possible because of the keen inter
est that the workers have taken in
their problems and welfare, and the
very fine support given the officers
and organizers of Sic, by the La
dies Auxiliary, presided over by
Mrs. Roy Green.
For the first time in the history
of Dining Service Employees, SIC
has succeeded in organizing into a
regular, legal national trade labor
organization.
On August Is, 1889, SIC pre-
sented to all carriers under contract
a new contract which, if negotiated,
will increase by more than 1870
the wages of the dining service
employees, aside from greatly inn
proving the working conditions.
Maceo v. Littlejohn, general
chairman, also regional vice-chair-.
man of the Joint Council, left for
Chicago Sunday night, September
II, for the purpose of comforting
with other regional vice-chairmen
and officers of the International
Union, to map strategy with re-
gard to the new contract proposals.
Edward Flore, general president,
will be there, and International
General Counsel, Judge Padway,
will also sit in and direct the
strategy.
The union invites all dining serv-
ice employees, not now members of
Sic, to join. Come to our meetings,
anyway. Progress comes through
organization. "In Unity Is
Strength"

Mitchell Tells
Brewery Unions
They Are Unfair

Discrimination as practiced by
the Brewery Workers Union
against Negroes seeking employ
rnent in that industry was laid be-
fore the membership of that or
ganization, Tuesday, by Clarence
M. Mitchell, Jr., executive secretary
of the st. Paul Urban League.
The meeting was attended by
several hundred workers in the in
dustry and the president of the
union stated that vote would be
taken on whether something should
be done about the present situation.
Mr.. Mitchell pointed out that the
Brewing industry is listed as one
Of the largest and most prosperous
in the State. He added that on
numerous occasions employers in
this field have said that they would
hire Negroes but unions prevented
ShCAh ALOh uOAlAk 50.
He stated further that during
the summer he received the first
official word on the unions stand.
This stand, he told his hearers, in
dicated that Negroes would not be
admitted to the organization and
that they were not wanted in the
industry.
Unions cannot expect, he told the
men, to receive fair play at the
hands of employers or cooperation
from the public at large so long as
they themselves do not play fair
with racial and other minorities.
Quoting from the Union Advo-
cate Of st. Paul and Bulletin pub
hshed by the Hotel and Restaurant
Employees International of Mime
apolis, Mr.. Mitchell stated that the
present trend of organized labor is
away from discrimination. He said
that more and more public SYM
pathy will be lost by those who
hold to segregation.
In closing his remarks, the speak
er pointed out that on many occa-
sions drivers tell cOlOred persons
that employers alone are respon-
sible for practice of excluding Ne
groes. This situation can be
changed by the union if it wishes
to do so, Mitchell told the meeting.

Cotton Ed Smith
Has 7 Relatives
On U. S. Payroll
(From Afro-American)

NEW YORK.-Cotton Ed Smith,
Democratic Senator from South
Carolina, has been called one of the
most vicious foes of progress in
our Congressional halls.
This is the man who in fright
eous" anger walked out of Demo-
cratic convention because a colored
man was to pray for the prosperity
and well-being of our country.
Smith is for the continuance of
lynching in all its varied forms. He
is against any kind of an anti.
lynching bill.
Economy Stalwart
During this congress, Cotton Ed
was a stalwart of the economy"
bloc. Smith wanted to save the
Government money. He also want
ed to save the monopolists' money
and so he fought the Wage and
Hour law and the Wagner Labor
Relations Act.
But one thing this South Caro-
linian saw to was that his family
was in the dough. Look at this
record: ..
Cotton Ed" salary only (mile-
age and other prerequisites not in
cluded), $4,000; Charles E. Jack
son, cousin, deputy, commissioner
of the Bureau of Fisheries, $500;
C. Alfred Lawton, son-in-law, secre-
tary, $1,000; Isobel Lawton, daugh-
ter, clerk, $500; Anna B. Pierce,
daughter, clerk, $2,299; Mrs.
Pierce's husband, RFC clerk, ST.
400; Albert T. Moore, cousin, Capt.
toll doorkeeper, $1,74O; Mrs. Charles
Jackson, wife of Cousin Charles,
assistant in Smiths office, $4,000.
Total, eight jobs, $90,SOO.

several midwestern states this win
ter.
In the spring, when he is better
prepared, he will go to Chicago or
the Brooklyn Academy in New

ton toward the young mans ex-
penses to New York.
By request, Mr.. Harris sang in
one of the largest Baptist churches
in New York City, Sunday morn
ing, September 10.
Reports have been received here
