Between The Lines
(By DEAN GORDON B. HANCOCK For ANP)
TO THE ROOSEVELTs' RESCUE

With southern political rebellion in the offing and
with the Republicans methodcay trying to embarass the
Roosevelt administration the going for Roosevelt IS get
ting tougher day by day. The hope is the antiFourth
bunder which will be the inspiration Of democratic vic
tory in November There is the subtle possibility that
Roosevets over-ambitious opponents may overkl HIM
between and election day.
Even If the south politically succeeds, it is doubtful
if they destroy the constructive administration that
Roosevelt has given this nation in one OF Its most critical
periods The hopes Of the Republicans lie in the possibility
of "ooing all the people all the time remote possibility
at most Negroes must bear in mind that although the
New Zeal may be on the way out Roosevelt of the New
Deal is our best bet in the coming election.
Roosevelts greatest trouble is Negro trouble a
trouble incurred in honest attempt to ntegrae Negroes
into the political and economic and industrial life of this
nation 1t must be admitted that great President IS
up against of the hardest political propositions he has
been called upon to face 1t is going to take some
bring Roosevelt through VIGOROUSLY in the coming cleo
tion Negroes should begin to line up behind the
Roosevelt banners for up or down with Roosevelt
If Roosevelt wins win; if he loses lose and great
will be loss
Negroes who hitherto have roligousy voted the Re-
publican ticket should reappraise their position in the
light of the unhoy alliance entered into by the recacl-
trant Democrats and the old line Republicans who have hit
below the belt time and again to embaass the bodest and
bravest President who has occupied the White House.
That mighty Roosevelt team President and Mrs Roosevelt
has given to Negroes in this country something that h
erto has been denied them since the count beginning
and that recognition citizens of this country and not
stepctizens More Negroes have been to the White
House and have been cordially received during the Roose
welt administration than in all the history of this country
under all the other administrations.
Roosevelt has attempted to come to the Negroes
Negroes have chance to come to Roosevets
To not to rescue is the pressing ques
ton confronting the Negro voters Of this country!

Spieer NLRB
Decision
Expected

Decision is expected soon from
the NLRB on the representation
hearing held in Toledo recently
for the office workers of the
Spicer Mfg. Co. according 70
the Local II organization staff
in charge.
Every evidence in the hear
ing pointed to a favorable deci-
sion due to the attitude assumed
by the Spicer management at
the time the representation case
was before the Board.
"Office workers at the Spicer
Co. are among the white collar
workers with whom everybody
sympathizes, but for whom no
one seems to be able to do any,
thing" said Scot Rogers of the
organization staff. The work
ers realize this and say they are
going to do something for them
selves by joining with the UAW-
CIO and voting that way when
the election is held" he added.
Membership in tho UAW-CIO
is growing constantly and it now
appears that there will be an
overwhelming majority of the
office workers signed up by the
time the election is called.

Drugs Go TO
Middle East

Increased quantities of drugs,
pharmaceuticals and o t h e r
health supplies are expected to
move to the Middle East through
normal commercial channels
during 1914, as a result of modi-
fications in foreign trade opera
tions, the Foreign Economic Ad-
ministration has announced.
Improvement in the supply
and shipping situations makes
this development possible, and
commercial channels will be
used to the full extent permitted
by the Governments of the
Middle East countries.
The countries involved are
Egypt, the Anglo-Egyptian SUI
dan, Iran, Iraq, Syria, the Le-
banon, ench Somoliland,
Ethiopia, Eritrea, Saudi Arabia.
Cyrenaica, and Tripolitania.
Civilian imports for all these
countries are programmed by
the Anglo American Middle

Labor Seeks
State Unity

COLUMBUS, o., Feb. %
With an announced goal of
registering every L b 0 r
Union member to vote in the
1914 elections, all branches
of Ohio organized Labor are
working together on a broad
political front, it was announced
Tuesday by policy-making
committee representing n i n e
state Labor organizations.
The move marks the first
time all branches of Ohio Labor
have jointed together in such a
manner. The organizations re-
presented are Brotherhood of
Locomotive Engineers, Brother
hood of Locomotive Firemen
and Enginemen, Brotherhood of
Railroad Trainmen, Order of
Railway Conductors, Ohio CLIO.
Council, Ohio State Federation
of Labor, Ohio Typographical
Conference, United Mine Work
ers of Ohio, and Ohio Brewery
Workers. The latter three are
not affiliated with the major
Labor organizations.
Group Issues Statement
In a statement issued Tues
day, the group declared that
"the elections of 1914 are
fraught with deeper and weigh
tier consequences than any pre-
vious elections in our time"
"The kind of postwar world
we shall live in hangs in the
balance" the statement con-
tinued, "and employment, job
security, living standards, edu-
cation, social security, collective
bargaining-all are heavily de-
pendent upon the results of this
years elections.
Therefore, it is of paramount
Importance that all L a b o I
Unions bend every effort to
register all members for voting
in 1914.
Workers are aware that q
reactionary Congress and an un.
progressive state Legislature
can sabotage the legitimate as.
pirations of the common people
of the nation. Workers know
that big-business-minded gov
ernment can mean unemploy-
ment, low wages, devastated
conditions, and smashed Unions

Haas Quotes
Pope On Goods
For All

CHICAGO (FP) - Brushing
aside the cry of socialism"
Bishop Francis j. Haas told the
Catholic conference on indus
trial problems, meeting in Chi
cago, that full employment and
full production are proper So
cial and economic goals.
Haas quoted Pope Plus XI's
encyclical that then only will
the social economy be rightly
established and attain its pur-
poses when all and each are
supplied with all the goods that
the wealth and resources of ma
ture, technical achievement and
the social organization of eco-
nomic life can furnish"
Free enterprise" the bishop
said, without a considerable
amount of help from govern
ment and workers organizations
cannot provide for full produc-
ton of goods and services after
the war" He urged adoption of
the industry council plan spou-
sored by CIO President Philip
Murray.
