The Labor View
By c.. r. McCray for AMP

Why Negro workers particular
ly should stand up and fight to
make the United Nations organi-
zation much stronger and much
more effective was again brought
to public attention last week. The
incident reveals that the UN is
one o fthe three bodies in the
world where the problems and the
interests of so-called backward
peoples might be effectively dis
cussed.
The UN's Economic and Social
council, created to advance the So
cial and economic progress of the
peoples o fthe world, is now meet
ing in Geneva, Switzerland. Dur
ing the consideration of the pro-
posed agenda, the council was
thrown into a brawl. The Ameri-
can Federation of Labor at the
previous session % fthe. council
had charged that slave labor ex-
lists in Europe and called upon,
the economic and social council
to make an investigation. This
AFL move was aimed directly
at Russia.
Shortly afterward, the World
Federation of Trade unions of
which Russian unions are a main
support, charged that Argentina,
Burma, Brazil, Egypt, India, Iran,
Portugal and the Union of South
Africa are guilty Of ~suppressing
trade unions and of prosecuting
their leaders.
Both of these charges, that
made by the AFL and by the WI

The IA other planes Of the seth

flight from Bangor to Goose Bay
in two hours Monday.
Good weather was reported all
the way to Goose Bay when the two
planes left Dow Base at 9:48 am.

Bad weather also held up, in Ice

The American planes are bound
to Germany via Greenland, Ice

Safety prompted the Air Force to
keep the IA planes at Goose Bay

the flight is served by a single rescue
unit, officers said.

Horse And Buggy Days
BY IDA 10 MARTIN

His first election to Congress occur
red in 1892, and the result in Wash
ington County was thus stated in
the Spy: "At closing of the polls for
the County of Washington, being a
principal part of the Sixth district
of this State, on last Thursday eve
ming October 4, 1922, it appears
that the Hon. Thomas Sprigg, Esq,
had the entire and unanimous voice
of the county as representative in
the Congress of the United States.
Toward the close of his term, the
excise laws of the Federal govern
ment began to arouse opposition and
the ringleaders of the defiant ele-
ment at Hagerstown erected a lib
erty pole. Colonel Sprigg's attitude
in this crisis was thus represented in
the following testimonials published
in the Spy:
1--WE certify that we were present
in Hagerstown on the 1st day of
September, 1894, when the mob, so
much talked of, happened. We also
certify that Colonel Thomas Sprigg
was there present and that he ex-
erted himself in a most singular and
spirited manner to prevent the err
ection of the liberty pole that was
then raised and to dispense the mob.
We were witness to many insults
that he received in consequence of
his exertions and we often supposed
his person in danger. We have also
been witness to the active and de-
cided part which Colonel Sprigg has
since taken to bring those insurg-
ent's to justice, and do think this
county under particular obligations
to that gentleman for the part he
has acted.
