Arbitration Of Wage
Dispute Is Refused
IBvA, B. &W. Official!

The Alexandria, Bancroft 6
Washington Transit Co. today re-
fused to arbitrate a wage dispute
with its drivers and maintenance
workers as suggested by Gov. Tuck
Of Virginia.
Bus drivers and maintenance
workers last week voted to strike.
July 81, when their present con-
tract expires, unless an agree
ment is reached by that time.
In a letter to the governor.
President r. L. May said:
THE responsibility of officials
to manage with prudence the af-
fairs of the company through the
coming year-in the face Of un-
mistakable signs of economic un-
rest-to discharge their duty to
the public and to maintain a
sound financial position in order
to fulfill the company's respon-
sibility to employees and to insure
their jobs, removes beyond ques-
ton the submission of the issues
here involved to arbitration"

the wage increase. would shove
the company into a deficit for the

"A wage increase now woulc
only mean that fares would have
to be increased or the company
propelled toward bankruptcy. and

should be called upon to pay in
creased fares In order to increase
wages to employees when there Is
no evidence of increased costs Of
living"
Willing to Continue Talks.
If the dispute went to arbitra-
ton, Mr.. May said. the arbitrators
would be in the position to tell
the public what fares they should
pay.
In refusing to arbitrate. the
company made it clear it was will

Tuskegee Nurse
School Gets
Official Rating

Tuskegee Institutes School of
Nursing received official rating
last week ranking it among the
top twenty-five per cent in the
nation. 1t was scored by the Ma
tional Committee for the Improve
ment of Nursing Services.
The rating, according to Dean
L. H. Harvey, came about as re-
suit of overall improvement in
curriculum and facilities. AS late
as 1914 this school underwent a
complete reorganization to bring
its course offerings up to stand
ard.
It's three-year nursing course
was given equal status with other
schools of the Institute. The
school was moved into its own
new building in 1915. The cur
riculum, clinical facilities, library
facilities, and teaching staff rep
resent areas of greatest improve
ment.
The school enrolled a four-year
class of nursing students this fall
to become the first collegiate nurs-
ing school in the state. This four
year nursing course has academic
standards equal to requirements in

Winter Legumes Pay
Big Dividends On
MarengO Farm

For the past 10 years, I. c.

outstanding job of building up his
soil by planting Austrian winter
peas or hairy vetch on his farm.
Before | started planting Win
ter legumes and planning a sys-
tenn of crop rotation" says the
farmer, "my average cotton yield
was $50 to IT'S pounds of lint. Ny
corn yield was not more than 20
bushels per acre.
Now / can boast about $50
pounds of lint cotton to the acre;
although my crop has been dam
aged very badly by the rain and
boll weevils, I still can expect more
than bale to the acre. My pres
ent crop of corn should average
about 45 to so bushels per acre
attributed these increased yields
to soil building through the use
of Winter legumes."
The Marengo County farmer
owns SO acres of land, of which
SO acres are in pasture, nine are
In corn, six are in cotton, and five
are in open land.

Five Year Work
Scholarship Plan
Provides For 1885

Tuskegee Institute, Ala, Oct. 18
(SpeciaD - One hundred and
thirty-two college students who
would otherwise find it impossible
to be enrolled in college this fall
are working their way and study
ing under the Tuskegee Institute
Five-year Work Scholarship Plan.
This student-aid program is
made possible by funds given by
self-sacrificing donors. Students
selected for the five-year plan are
carefully screened. They must
have high scholastic records from
an accredited high school. They
must present evidence showing
the need for such job opportuni-
ties.
The 1872 students now on this
program represent a cross section
of American youth. They are
courageous, Industrious and deserv-
ing. To remain on the program
they must render an eight-hour
day of productive labor and attend
classes at night. They must main
tain at least an average of B
minus.
By following through on this
plan the student earns financial
credits to pay for most of his ed
ucation. In the first twenty-four
months he completes his freshman
college requirements.
At the beginning of his sopho-
more year he enters as a regular
day student and if his standards
are maintained he completes his
college work in three academic
years. Since most students enter
college at an early age, five years
in college presents no great hand
leap.
According to j. j. Flood, Di-
rector of Student Personnel, these
students have turned in an excel
lent record of performance. They
are carefully supervised by faculty
and staff members. "Job oppor-
tunities," states Flood, "are often
opened to students after gradua-
ton who excel in their area of
work"

That AFL Backs
Chicago Strike

indianapolis LPA) - Propa-
ganda spread by some publishers
that the Int'l Typographical Union
does not have full support of the
AFL in it's long Chicago strike was
punctured in a letter just sent by
AFL President William Green to
President Woodruff Randolph of
the ITU.
"The courage and devotion to
trade union principles shown by
your membership on strike in Chic
ago has commanded the respect
and support of the AFL and all its
friends" Green wrote.
Permit me to extend to you my
personal and official assurance of
the support of the membership of
the AFL in the heroic fight which
the members of the ITU are max
ing in Chicago"
Green declared that the strike
involves a principle "vital to the
membership OF organized LABOR
everywhere"
at is" he said, "a fight for the
preservation of individual and col
lective freedom, a fight for the
right to engage in collective bar
gaining. and for the sale of SER
vices on terms and conditions
which may be acceptable and sat
isfactory.
eff these rights are ever sur
rendered by the working people of
America they can no longer enjoy
the blessings of freedom and lib
erty."
Green closed with an "official
endorsement" of the strike.

New Invasion OF
'Wetbacks' Begins

Ell Paso, Tex. (LPA)-With the
aid of a wholesale fake passport
ring, Mexican nationals are getting
into the Estates" by the hundreds
each week, grabbing off jobs in this
country and driving down prevail
ing wage rates in some areas. The
Ell Paso Labor Advocate, AFL
weekly here, so charged in a BAN
ner front page expose.
This flood of "wetbacks" follow
ed breakdown in negotiations be-
tween the American and Mexican
governments for an agreement to
permit legitimate importation of a
limited number of workers from
below the Rio Grande. Such an
agreement would have covered
wage standards and working con-
ditions.
According to the Labor Advo-
cate, the ring has made up a lot
of fake passports to get the Mexi-
cans into this country. Also there
are "braceros" who get across the
border and mail their passports
back to the others in on the con-
spiracy. The passports are then
doctored for use by such Mexicans,
and this goes on over and over
again.
The paper quotes the Mexican
Workers Confederation as esti-
mating that 10000 nationals from
that country are now illegally in
the United States. Another 5000
are poised at Juarez, the paper
said, hoping authorities may lift
the lid, wink at the law and per-
nit a mass invasion Of the Mexi-
cans to work on southern and west
ern farms and plantations. Such an
invasion occurred last year and
was stopped only after the AFL,
its affiliated National Farm Labor
Union, and other organizations
raised a terrific protest.
Big farm operators from Texas
and other states are reported to be
working to have the barriers open
ed for mass influx of cheap labor.

.MIF Scorns
WITH Link

Washington (LPA)-The Mine
workers Int'l Federation meeting
here last week reaffrmed its in
dependence Of the Communication
mated World Federation Of Trade
Unions, and pledged itself to re
newed efforts to raise the living
standards Of miners thruout tbs
world.
Representing today the coal dig
gers of the US, Canada, Great Bri-
tain, France, Austria, Germany
Belgium, Holland, Sweden, Nor
way, India, and the Union Of South
! Africa = with japanese miners
leaders present as observes-the
MIF has sounded the death-knell
of the WFTU's hopes of creating
an important miners department.
This is the first time that the
MIF-which was established in
1890-has met in the Us. Host
union was the United Mine Work
ers. President John L. Lewis, Vice
President Thomas Kennedy and
Secretary-Treasurer John Owens
were among the UNIV officials
participating in the conference.
A similar disavowal of any con-
tact with the WFTU was issued by
the Int'l Metal Workers Federation
when it met here two weeks ago
in the headquarters Of the Int'l As
sociation of Machinists.
Sir William Lawther, president
of the British Natl Mineworkers
Union-largest single union Of
miners in the world-and secretary
of the MIF, said that miners all
over the world have gained increas-
ed recognition and improved living
standards in the past few years.
The once despised trade has
come into its own, he declared.
Governments and peoples are be-
ginning to understand the import
ance of the industry to the whole
economic system, and are recog-
nizing that coal miners are
amongst the most skilled workers
in the world.
President of the MIF is A. De
lattre of the Belgian Miners Union.
He pointed out that despite the
great advances the coal miners
have made many of their demands
are still untitled. Most important of
these, he said, is the demand for
of employment.
This and other questions affect
ing the life of the pit men will be
further when the MIF
meets in Amsterdam, Holland, in
October.
Charles MOrel, representing the
Miners Union of the non-Commun-
st CGT-FO in France said that the
