WT,RB General Counsel Robert

mo This ruling is that all top
Dff;cers of the AFL and CLIO must
"uaar they are not Communists

The Denham ruling allows 20

Red. Cross Workers Ready
To Aid Residents If
Hurricane Hits

Residents of the Wilmington
area, alerted by reports of the
proximity of the most severe
tropical hurricane to be recorded
in modern times, are treasured
today that the Red Cross has CO.
ordinated all government and pri-
vate agencies in methodical prep
aration to guarantee effective
relief measures regardless of
what may develop as the dis
turbance passes by.
This area was placed on an
alert status at II am. Tuesday
by Gardiner Greer, chairman
of the New Hanover Red Cross
disaster committee, following
the decision of the weather bu-
reau to call for voluntary evac-
uation of the beach areas.
Greer presided over a meet
ing of the disaster committee
at Red Cross headquarters, on
Front street, late Tuesday aft
-ernoon at which all details were
perfected for the development
of relief measures according to
the requirements Of the situa-
ton.
Emergency Power
In the event that serious dan
ger threatens this community,
Greer after, consultations with
the weather bureau, Coast
Guard, mayors and law en-
|forcement officials, is empow-
cred. to declare a status of
emergency.
Officials Of the city water de-
partment Tuesday informed the
Red Cross that the city water
supply is not threatened in Will
mington and that residents here
need not draw an emergency
water supply in jars and bath
tubs.
The Wilmington water supply
is inland, officials pointed out,
and is protected by under
ground 'conduits. No overhead
tanks. exist to be threatened by
high, winds. Standby gasoline
engines are ready to pump a
normal supply of water if a
power failure of electricity
should develop.
Should an emergency status
be called, evacuation from any
low coastal areas where lives
are believed to be endangered
will take top priority.
To Man Shelter
At the same time, personnel
already designated will man
emergency shelters already Sc
lected at various points
throughout the city. If an emer-
gency arises, the location OF
these shelters will be broadcast
from radio stations WMFD and
WGNI, a spokesman for the
Red Cross emphasized.
A food committee was named
at the meeting of the disaster
committee, and details of the
collection and distribution of an
emergency food supply, if need
ed, are already completed.
Medical care will be provided
at each shelter. A first aid unit
at each station will include a
nurse and Red Cross personnel.
Should persons arrive with seri-
GUS bodily injuries, they will be
hospitalized. War trained
nurses aids will be summoned
to the hospitals to help resident

.Would-Be Governor
Holds Meeting At

University of Arizona alumni
were invited to meet the new
president and vice-president of that
institution at a party Monday
nght-held at the strike-bound
Hotel Westward Ho. Outgoing
president of the university Alfred
Atkinson, introduced his successor.
It should have been a nice party.
Many boys and girls in the Salt
River Valley would have given
much to have gone. But the asso-
cations secretary, Mel Goodson,
prevented them from going. OF
all the places in Phoenix where
the party could have been held
and all former students could have
gone, Goodson choose the ONLY
scab hotel in the city-the West
ward Ho. Several people, ex-stu-
dents, some of them Phoenix busi-
ness men, called the Labor Journal
to protest and to say they were
not present at the meeting.
Undoubtedly much pressure was
brought on Mr.. Goodson to have
his meeting at the swank hotel
That is being done daily. Many
prominent people are resisting that
pressure. Evidently Mr.. Goodson
could not do so.

Arizona Contributes
IFS Share Of Jobs

Arizona contributed its share to
the nationwide upward trend of
employment in March as was re-
flected by the total of 3,O17 appli-
cants who found work as a re-
suit of being referred to jobs
through the Is Employment Ser
vice offices in the state. In the
previous month of February, 1854
applicants were placed in employ
ment as a result Of such referrals.
It is true that February was a
short month and is not an exact
comparison on that account, but
taking the average monthly place
ments of applicants for the first
quarter of the year which was O.
814, the March record of 3,O17 is
still we'll in the lead and is indica-
tive of the upward trend.
There is also a prospect of this
trend of increased employment
continuing for the next few
months, as evidenced by a poll of
1850 representative industrial
showed 45,188 workers employed
by these firms in February; 49,
371 in March, with an estimated
47,6O2 to be working within the
next go days.
This is further reflected by the
number of active applications on
file at the end of March, which
numbered 1859 as compared with
14,259 at the end of February and
Is, ,429 at the close of January, in
dicating that the employer demand
to that extent is balancing the
supply of workers. There was a
decline, too, of the number of in
migrants, or newcomers to the
area, which also reduced the vol
urne of unemployment in the
state.
Of the 3,O17 total placements
made in March, 1925 were those
of veterans, as compared with 983
placements of veterans made in
February. Average placements OF
veterans for the first three months
of this year was 1929. Placements
of women numbered 1,O12 in
March and 878 in February. Aver
age placements of women for the
quarter was 944. The office load
as shown by reception contacts, OF
calls at the local offices, likewise
showed an increase, totaling 64,'
3O1 in March as compared with
81, ,612 such calls made in Febru-
ary. The average monthly calls
for the quarter was 65,013. Oi
the calls made in March 33,423
or little more than one-half the
total were made by veterans, ano
II, ,348 were made by women. Ir
February, 32,819 were by veterans
and 1882 were by women. The
average of veteran calls for the
