Cost of Living TO Increase
AS Price G0uges Hits Public
AFL Campaign To
Expose Sifuofion
On Price Front

Washington, d. C.-The Ameri-
can Federation of Labor launched
vigorous campaign against the
rising cost of living as reports
from all over the nation indicated
tnat prices are soaring to new high
levels.
AFL President William Green di-
lected a letter to the local AFL
affiliates IN all cities and towns
in which the ate-House Com
n1ittee on the Economic Report is
preparing to hold hearings on the
prices of consumer goods, urging
the local groups to flood the COM
mittee with evidence of exorbitant
prices now gouging the consumer.
Opinion of experts revealed that
the cost Of living is due to go up
rather than down, as the profit
hungry interests boosted prices to
maintain or increase their record
take.
In produce markets dealers con-
fidently predict retail prices of 81
pound for butter and 81 a dozen
for eggs.
In Chicago, prices of corn and
oats hit new highs for the second
consecutive day, while wheat ad-
vanced several cents bushel to
"a new peak for this time of year,
at the height of the harvest.
The Bureau Of Labor Statistics
reported an increase in the whole
sale price index for 900 commodi-
ties for the ninth straight week.
The index now stands at level
20.1 per cent above year ago.
The jump in corn price was
blamed upon more bad weather re-
ported from the corn belt. On top
of this came the warning from
John F. Krey, chairman of the AM
erican Meat Institute, that the corn
crop may be damaged further by
frosts.
If frost comes at the average
time this year, from one-third to
-one-half the corn crop will be in
danger, Krey said.
He forecast drop in meat pro-
duction this year, "at a time when
there is more need and demand for
meat than ever before"
Meanwhile the Agriculture De-
partment told the world that farm
ers this year have averaged about
AZ cents dozen for eggs, the high
est price in history and about z
cents above last years price.
Although egg production is high
er than a year ago, prices are ex-
pected to remain high because of
the shortage of red meat, the de-
partment said.
Mr.. Green, in his letter to all
local AFL groups, urged them to
present to the congressional COM
mittee the facts of the present
price situation sin their true light"
He said:
"The continually rising prices of
the necessities Of life is the single
most important problem confront

Wage Porley
Report Made
BY Delegates
Weber, Finlay Delegates
To State Conventions

1t is gratifying to note the new
interest being shown by members
of Local Union No. IL at their
weekly meetings. While the atten-
dance at our meeting on Sept. z
could not be classified as one hun
dred percent, the turnout was very
good and discussions on the various
issues brought before the local,
brought forth constructive meas
ures to be taken in formulating
plans to advance the interests of
our trade.
One Of the major items on the
evenings agenda was the report
of delegates, Guy Digman and
Harry Podewels, covering the pro-
ceedings of the recent wage parley.
Both brothers done very good JOB
in that respect and our humble
thanks was extended them for their
services. We were especially pleas
ed to see the forward steps made
by the trade regarding the oiling
and changing of moulds. Long a
headache to all jiggermen, the pro-
visions in the agreement for this
work is very gratifying. While we
still have other inequities to be
ironed out, ways and means to-
meet the various cases are forth
coming and will be obtained
through our method of collective
bargaining with our employers.
The old saying "Rome was not
Built in a Day." might be applied
in this instance, and if our efforts
to achieve our goal has not been
reached to date, all efforts put
forth is not time lost, but construc-
tive steps taken to substantiate our
claim for adjustments to be made.
AS we all know and have been
told by our national head on many
occasions, evidence to support any
claim for adjustments to be made
regarding any particular craft,
must be presented when we reach
the conference table. The proper
place to compile this data is at
your local union meetings. Don't
be content to meet with your bud
dies at the corner emporium, or on
the street corners and air your
views what action the local should
take regarding cases where infrac-
tions occur. Nine times out of ten
evidence reaching your ears in this
manner is false, or in some matter
or form has not been presented ac-
curately.
Bring the case to local, discuss
the matter pro and con, build up
your case with true facts. Only by
this procedure can we hope to cor
rect inequalities and protect the in
terests of our trade in a manner
provided for in the agreement.
A report on sanitary conditions
in some of the shops leads one to
believe somebody is falling down
on the job. During the war we were
forced to put up with these un-
healthy conditions due to the in
ability of some firms to obtain ma
terial for correcting same. We feel
the time is at hand that some
thing should be done Immediately.
John Weber has been named de-
legate to the West Virginia State
Federation Of Labor which opens
in Charleston on Sept. rs.
Bro. Larry Finlay will fill the
same role at the Ohio State Fed
Grafton of Labor convention which
opens in Cincinnati on Sept. 15.-

=, erty and an apparent cessation OF
activity by the Orthodox branch in
the District until after the Civil War.
Meetings of the Orthodox Friends,
whose numbers had been augmented
by fellow worshipers coming to
Washington after the peace, grad
ually started again. The meetings
in various homes and halls then
took place.
Among those active at the time
the meeting was organized in 1899
were Lindley D. Clark, Prof. Robert
B. Warder of Howard University
and James E: Underhill. Mr.. Clark,
who came to Washington in 1893
as a clerk in the Bureau of Labor,
was acknowledged as a minister of
the church In 1897 and still holds
that position. He now lives at
Sandy Spring, Md. Prof. Warder,
who died in 1905, was acknowledged
a minister about 1892. Mr.. Under
hill and his wife, Mrs. Phebe T.
Underhill, we're extremely active in
the local group for IS years, start
ing with the 1870s.
The old form of an unsalsried
ministry has generally prevailed at
this meeting. There was a de-
parture from this practice on one
occasion, when Murray S. Ken
worthy was employed as pastor from
1923 to 1928. Prof. Augustus Murray
served as minister from March i,
1929, to the end of 1880.

The Washington Monthly Meet
ing of Friends (Orthodox)" opened
their church at Thirteenth and Irv-
ing streets NV. on February 6
1906. President Herbert Hoover
worshiped here in 1929 and 1880.
The opening of this building
brought to close period during
which the members worshiped in
many places. For approximately IS
years, prior to the erection Of the
present edifice, they held meetings
in rented rooms and at the homes
of members. In 1899, the year the
present meeting was established, the
Orthodox Friends opened a meet
ing house at First and C streets NE
This was later condemned as it was
on the site of the then to be con-
structed Senate Office Building.
The local meeting worshiped at
the Women's Temperance Union
quarters on Sixth street NV, be-
fore procuring the Irving street site.
Among the places they worshiped
in before 1899 was the YMCA when
it was on New York avenue near
Fourteenth street NV.
There were % charter members
at the time the local meeting was
organized in 1899. Those still affil-
lated with it are Edward D. Clark,
Mrs. H. v. Easterling, Jane E. Lev
ering, j. Edgar Hiatt and Lindley D,
Clark. The latter two are the only
remaining resident members of the
group.
Though the group was formed in
1899, it traces its origin back to 1903
when the Indian Spring Monthly
Meeting, near Laurel, Md, appoint
ed committee to establish meet
ing in Washington for the many
Friends who had come recently to
the Capital City In 1907 a Wash
ington subordinate meeting was es-
tablished, and about the same time
a meeting house was erected at
near Eighteenth street NV.
In 1927 and 1928 a schism occurred
in the Religious Society of Friends
between followers of Elias Hicks
who became known as "Hicksites,' -
and others, subsequently known as
ORTHODOX" The differences today
have largely disappeared. Locally
the break resulted in the Hicksite
branch taking over the street prop

one of Israel's great teachers
soon found himself sitting on the
lowest school bench and, listening
to the greatest words ever uttered
by the worlds Master Teacher.
Nicodemus was a man who be-
lived that orthodoxy was sufficient.
Jesus went about to shatter not the
orthodoxy of His visitor, but the
complacency, the smugness, and the
lack of spiritual insight with which
Nicodemus held his orthodoxy.
Nicodemus was interested in the
intellectual soundness of mems the
ology; Jesus was interested in the
spiritual soundness of their hearts
When his bewildered visitor blurted
out, How can these things be?''
Jesus cited the familiar phenomenon
of the wind, perhaps blowing out
side the house at the moment.
The greatest sentence ever formu-
lated into human speech fell from
the lips of Jesus during this inter-
tieW: For God so loved the world
that He gave His only begotten Son
that whosoever believeth on Him
should not perish but have eternal
life"
The world is waiting today for
great words-mostly for new words
But if we have eyes to see and minds
to understand, we shall realize that
until the end of time these words
of Jesus will retain their dazzling
newness. They express basic re-
ligious truth. God wants to save
man and has gone to infinite pains
to do so.
