NICHOLS SPEAKS ON VIEWS OF LABORITES 1 In an address on "The Point of View of Labor in Industry" delivered before the students of. the School of Commerce, on ' Thursday night, Mr. L. E. Nichols, . Assistant Commis sioner of Labor and Printing of North Carolina, gave his hearers a new point of view on the labor question. First Mr. Nickols let his audience understand that he was speaking for organized labor as organized under the American Federation of Labor, which now represents an organiza tion of four million fifty thousand labors. "The American Federation of Labor," said he, "has no tolera tion for the I. W. W., Reds, Bolshe vists, etc." and is doing all that is in power to put them out of business. Organized labor has been the great est check on their actions that has operated against them, government agencies included. "It is this propa ganda of these I. W. W., etc., that has scarred the name of organized labor and I am here tonight to dis credit it on behalf of the American Federation of Labor." Organized labor will not tolerate an I. W. W. or Red in their organization. He is immediately turned out. After reviewing the qualifications for a man to enter a union and the fact that the United States Cham ber of Commerce advocates organi zation and the North Carolina Demo cratic Convention recognized the right of the laborers to organize, he read a few of the things that the American Federation of Labor stands for. Some' of them are (1) Aboli tion ; of all involuntary servitude except that for ' punishment of crimes. (2) Free schools, free text books, compulsory education. (3) Against issuance of injunctions in labor disputes. Eight hours and only eight hours of work in a 24 hour day. (4) Release from em ployment one day in seven. (5) Abolition of contract system of employment on public works. (6) Municipal ownership of public works. (7) Abolition of the Sweat Shop. (8) Liability of the employer for the loss of life or limb. (9) National ownership of telephone and telegraph. (10) Woman Suffrage, co-equal with man-suffrage. (11) Suitable and plentiful playgrounds in all cities. (12) Initiative and Refer endum and right of recall of Federal Judges. (13) Public bath system in all towns and cities. (14) System of finance with money issued only by the government. (15) Postal Sav ings Banks operated by the govern ment. ' When asked how organized labor stood in regard to the organization of negroes he replied that negroes were allowed to organize but . in separate unions with no representa tive on the central council. Mr. Niekols also stated that organized labor resents the apparent .oversight ipiiiiililliiitlilii "seas :;:,t1ViifiRR5W::s'iJWM:jrr'!::::::: THERE'S A DIFFERENCE' Always Good SIMULATING PEPIFYING EXHILARATING At In Bottles of some individuals to think that they are not as Americanized' as the man who sits at the desk as presi dent of a bank. He said that no one had been more outspoken against radicalism and socialism than the American Federation of Labor. To back this statement he showed how labor had participated in the winning of the war by not only buying in the government loans but , by the toleration of the then existing labor standards. Mr. Nickols stated that the em ployer who does not give the same thought to his workers that he does to other problems is making a grave mistake which he will soon regret. In speaking of labors political pro gram he said that it is entirely non partisian although sometimes it is necessary to resort to political action to get the needed results. Greensboro Highs Win Championship Greensboro High School, western champions, by. defeating Burgaw High School, Saturday, May 23, by the score of 4 to 0 won the state high school baseball honors for the 1920 seasonT The game was a beau tiful pitchers' battle with Johnson, of Burgaw, having a little edge on Phillips, of Greensboro, but the Greensboro team's superior fielding and timely hitting won for them against odds of 3 to 1. Greensboro's first run came in the second inning, the scorer having made first on a pass ball and in the seventh the remaining three runs were made. The winners were never in real danger of being scored on. The game was one of the clean est and most interesting high school contests seen on the local diamond in a number of years. Phillips, of Greensboro, a south paw, was the outstanding player for the victors, striking out ten men, allowing only four scattered hits, walking none, and securing a two bagger for himself. - Johnson, of Burgaw, fanned 15, allowed four hits and walked 2, but was as well supported by his team mates as was Phillips. Hendrix, catcher for Greensboro, also played an excellent game. Even Professors Desire A Higher Living Wage Cash Paid .

Due to the ever-increasing cost of living, and due also to the fact that engineers engaged in the teach ing service are, and have always been, greatly underpaid, the Ameri can Association of Engineers has taken decided action in this respect in . preparing, through its Board of Directors, recommendations for high er salaries for engineers now teach ing in the many colleges and uni versities of the country. In order that this report might be represen tative in every detail and mpght represent conditions precisely as they exist and that conservative but decisive action might be taken, unusual consideration has been exer cised in the selection of the per sonnel of this committee. The committee is composed of about fifteen members, a little less than half of whom, are educators and the rest engineers in practice and others. The deans of nearly all recognized engineering schools were asked to serve as corresponding members. The members of the committee for salaries of engineers represent some of the leading engineers of the country. Some of the more widely known of this committee are: Prof. P. H. Daggett, of the University of North Carolina, the only southern member on the committee; Prof. George F. Swain, of Harvard Uni versity; Dr. S. P. Copen, of the American Council of Education, A. N. Johnson, Consulting Highway Engineer of Portland Cement Asso ciation of Chicago; Harrison P. Eddy, of Boston, and D. L. Turner, Chief Engineer of the Transit Construction Commission Office of New ork. C. J. Tilden, professor of engineering mechanics in Yale University, is chairman of the committee. . Several proposals have already been submitted for consideration but no final report has as yet been made. This action on part of these men is important in that another class of University Professors are Remanding that they receive a living wage as well as the unskilled workman.
