VOLUME XXXVIII
President Green Defends Right
Of Laboring Glass To Organize
Head of American Federation
Of Labor Gives Talk in Bing
ham Hall ; Predicts Unionizing
6f South.
William Green, . president of
the American Federation of
Labor, gave a 30-minute talk in
Bingham hall yesterday after
noon before a large audience
upon the aims and purposes of
the nation-wide labor organiza
tion's southern campaign. v '
Characterizing the Southland
as evolving f romN an ""agricul
tural land into an industrial em
pire," the successor to Samuel
Gompers continued to say that
the A. F. L. "responds to the call
of the great masses of people in
the South." Mr. Green ; ex
pressed the Federation's desire
to help the laborer. ' .
"We hope to bring the right
of organizing into trade unions
to the southern worker." This
aim is, according to Mr. Green,
iLc prime purpose of organized
labor in its campaign in the
south. Mr. Green said that cap
ital organizes and has the right
-to organize. Certainly labor
' should be accorded the same
"privilege. "There is no justifi
cation of employers discharging
men because of associating
themselves with trade unions !"
The need of labor to organize
was cited by the speaker as most
urgent. . . .
Another aim of the Federa
tion which it hopes to accom
plish is to see that greater social
justice is meted out to the many
women and children toiling in
the mills of the south. Mr.
Green said that with 3,000,000
unemployed laborers in the Uni
ted States, there was no neces
sity of employing 25 per cent of
the total number of workers
from women under 18 years of
age. ;" ;V :
Other points of the American
Federation of Labor's platform
are to see that workmen's com
pensation laws are made univer
sal ; to see that children are giv
en the opportunity to enj oy their
youth and to obtain the benefits
of an education; to see that the
working week and day are . made
shorter and that the laborer is
granted more, leisure in which
to exercise his cultural and
spiritual abilities.
Mr. Green laid the present
conditions of the textile industry
at the doors of the managers
and owners who, for the past
two decades, have exercised a
"perfect dictatorship." j
The talker stated that another
great problem directly allied
with the labor situation is the
plight of the agricultural work
er, who, in Mr. Green's opinion,
is worse off than the industrial
worker. He declared that the
"agricultural laborer must be
lifted along with the industrial
laborer."
The fact that poor, small
farmers form an almost mexr
haustible labor supply for the
mills presents a very' serious
problem to the organizers and
for that reason alone it will be
necessary for labor to carry ag
riculture's cross as well as its
own.
Mr. Green urged hearers to
investigate and seek more knowl
edge of the subject. '
Many listeners availed them
selves of the opportunity to
question the leading exponent of
the American Federation of
Labor. Almost the last question
asked was that of Dr. Schwen
Ring of the school of commerce.

pondent Of - New York Herald
Before Coming Here In 1923.
In an article appearing in the
February issue of the Alumni
Review, Robert W. Madry, di
rector of the University news
bureau, received due. praise for
his excellent work since he be
came' director, of the bureau in
1923. The article is based
mainly on the statements made
at the recent convention of the
North Carolina Newspaper In
stitute, wherein several promin
ent journalists of the state com
mended publicly the news ser
vice rendered by the University.
These newspapermen spoke
highly in favor "of the policy of
the news bureau in- supplying
the papers with real news and
not press-agent publicity. This
policy they attribute to the a
droit handling of Director Mad
ry. Prominent among those
praising the University news
service were W. Carey JJowd,
publisher of the Charlotte News
and president of the North Car
olina Press Association, and
Frank Smethurst, managing ed
itor of the News and Observer.
"There was never a time,"
said Mr. Smethurst "when the
University was closer to the peo
ple of the state than now, and
the people of North Carolina
had more interest in it, when its
activities, on and off the cam
pus met with such fine encour
agement. I would not in any
way detract from the fine ad
ministrative and professional
achievements that have merited
this appreciation, but I do be
lieve that in a large measure it
is due to the fact that there is
here a serviceable and efficient
news bureau through the opera

ENGINEER DANCE
FRIDAY NIGHT
TO BE COLORFUL
Lighting and Decorations of
Ball Room to Be Elaborate;
Buccaneers To Play.
-forget your tecnmcal wor
ries" is the advice given, the en
gineers by the committee; in
charge of the annual engineers
dance to be held Friday evening,
and if advance reports of the
affair are correct, every oppor
tunity to do just that thing will
be given. . ' "
The campus sometimes thinks
of the engineers as a gang of
roughnecks, smoking pipes and
wearing boots, but Friday they
are staging a comeback, in giv
ing what they say will be the
best dance of the quarter. Al
ready plans have been made for
some of the most unique light
ing effects in the history of
Carolina dances ; the decorations
will be different; the music will
be good; the girls will be there
in quantity and quality; and
everything points to a grand
and glorious time for the tech
nicians Friday evening.
The Buccaneers, regarded as
one of the best music-making
groups, will outdo themselves in
furnishing the necessary synco
pation. The engineers' dance, an an
nual affair of the school of en
gineering, is sponsored' by the
three engineering societies, and,
as it is practically the only social
activity of the engineers, they
are planning to put it across in
big style.
Engineers may secure tickets
for the dance at the senior room
of the department in which they
are registered: civils at room
320; electricals, room 217; and
mechanicals, room 216: Students
other than engineers will be ad
mitted only if they are bringing
a girl. Those desiring to attend
with girls should see Johnson
Alexander in room 217.' Phillips
hall for tickets.

NUMBER 11G
Students of Two Universities
Unanimously Endorse Seven
Constructive Resolutions Fav
oring Future Amity.
! (By E. C. Daniel, Jr.)
A speech by Joe Savage, presi
dent of the student body of Duke
University, was by popular ac
claim the most potent factor of
the meeting held in Gerrard hall
last night in an effort to promote
more amicable relationships be
tween the students of Duke and
Carolina. Under the sponsor
ship of the Di and Phi societies
of the University and the Colum
bian and Hesperian societies of
Duke University, a small but
enthusiastic group of students
and faculty members from both
institutions were present for the
discussions. Speaker John Lang
of the Phi was presiding officer.
President Ray Farris of the
University student body was the
welcoming speaker of the eve-
ning. Following his introduc
tory remarks he stated that the
main objective of his talk was
to introduce a movement for the
organization of a state federa
tion of college students, to be
organized among the students of
Duke, Carolina, Davidson, State
and Wake Forest. President
Farris stated that, due to their
geographical situation and to
the influence of other factors,
these, the five largest schools in
the state, should be interested
in. fostering this . movement, to
be extended later to include all
the colleges in the ' state.
When asked for a vote on the
proposition stated by President
Farris the audience responded
unanimously in favor of the
motion.
Following Farris, Speaker
Lang spoke eloquently on the
necessity of cooperation in mak
ing efforts at intercollegiate
amiability successful. He was
followed by the President of the
Duke students.
Mr. Savage, whose jovial re
marks received the hearty ap
proval of his audience, apolo
gized in beginning for the small
attendance of Duke students, but
assured the representatives from
the University that they were
equally as interested in the move
as were local students. First
deploring the false pride that ex
isted at both Duke and Carolina,
Mr. Savage urged that the ef
forts of student leaders be di
rected to encouraging whole
some rivalry between the insti
tutions in the proper way, as
well as encouraging the ex
change of facilities and mutual
ly beneficial athletic privileges.
Speaking of the relative ad
vantages of the two schools, Mr.
Savage was responsible for stat
ing the prize quip of the evening
when he said, "You have a good
library. So do we, but we have
the best-looking co-eds." Later
speakers took up this statement,
lnaking quite a joke of it before
the '' meeting was concluded.
Editor Holder of the Daily Tar
Heel gallantly defended local
pulchritude, however. He de
clared that some time he would
take Joe Savage and Ray Farris
down to the "co-ed shack" and
show them: pur 'good-looking
girls "all three of them," in
fact. ' ''-''"'
One of the primary objects in
calling this j oint meeting was
was to present to the assembled
students a group of seven reso
lutions relating to the subject
under discussion. They were
