C., THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 21,1935 Byrd’s Polar Expedition is coming out $50,000 in tebt. Woudn’t that freeze you? "New Deal Wins Sweeping Gold Victory,” says head ine, and your “Pri vate, Bonds are Not Payable in Yellow Metal!” We hate that. Executioner’s Axe Falls Upon Two Beautiful Members of Berlin So ciety When Htiler,Denies Pardon!” And civilization marches on. A bum bomb has been mailed to Huey Long, but it broke when opened and did not explode. Another case where “bum” workn anship fails to get results. North Carolina is going to spend three million on “emergency” road repairs. There is lot of the same kind of repairing badly needed on nearly all of our city streets. * The boys are kind o’ slow about entering the local political game, but they have their eyes open, ears to the ground, and are “starring for points!” Just give them time and there will be plenty of them at t ie post when start ing time rotpes. The “ Health, Beauty and Safety Exposition” to be staged at the Ar mory-Auditorium March 18-23 promises to be a big affair. The Federal Labor Union is sponsoring the project, with wading pools for the kiddies as their goal. A worthy affair indeed. *r • if Rather than bare Smith Reynold’s life record the brother and sisters would.divide estate. Not a bad idea at that, even if thirty million dollars is involved. The U. Chamber of Commerce wants a dole instead of public works and asks for a slash’of twp million eight hundred thousand dollars in the President’s request for funds to carry out his program.. The dole has no place in America, a man should create something for what he receives. Labor does not want the dole. Atlantic City Is Selected For 1925 A. F. L.Convention WASHINGTON. — The Executive Council of the American Federation, of Labor, meeting in Washington since January 30, adjourned the meeting February 14. All seventeen members of the council attended. While no official announcement concerning the general work of the Executive Council has been issued, it is generally known that outstanding accomplishments were realized. A goodly portion of the time of the council .members was^fcjfcen up Kwith IJipflttUht interviews ' inuT hearings, such as the NRA and 30-hour work week bill hearings and the interviews with Secretary of Labor Perkins ana President Roosevelt. This, of course, was aside from the many regular ses sions of the council devoted entirely to numerous important Federation subjects. After extensive consideration of all angles, the Executive Council finally decided that the 55th annual conven tion of the American Federation of Labor will be held this year in At lantic City, N. J. It will begin the first Monday in October, which will be October 7. During ‘the week prior to the regular Federation convention, the several departments of the A.

C.—President Roosevelt has signed the Cigarette Code in the face of the bitter protests of labor in general and of tobacco workers in particular. The joint statement of I. M. Ornburn, president of the Cigar Makers’ international Union of America and secretary of the Union Label Trades Department, American Federation of Labor, and E. Lewis Evans, president of the Tobacco Workers’ International Union, expressly labor’s views. ‘The cigarette code as signed by the President is af ghastly reflection on the reorganized NRA. It proves conclusively that labor most fight its own battles tor better conditions,” the statement says. It continues: ‘The President's call for a further study by the NBA Division of Re search and Planning is a curtain to hide the failure of the Recovery Admin istration as dominated by Mr. S. Clay Williams, vice-chairman of the R. J. Reynolds Tobacco Co* to carry out the act of Congress which created NRA. Adequate information was and is on hand to refute every claim made by the industry in favor of its miserable code. After the disregard with which the $KA Research and Planning report on the automobile industry was received, tabor must conclude that facto are no longer considered in writing codes. IMPORTANT FACTS NOT MENTIONED ‘The White House failed to mention the tact that two of the smaller and independent firms in the cigarette industry had offered their acceptance o fthe Riley code which was a considerable improvement over the industry s proposaL The White House also failed to state that the vote of the NRA Hoard was 2 and 2 instead of 4 and 2. A further oversight at the White House relates to the exclusion of some 20,000 or 30,000 workers from the code. The code applies to about 35,000 workers and not 60,000, as stated by the White House. ‘The White House also failed to make note of the hundreds of families of tobacco workers that have been on relief because of the pitifully low wages paid by this wealthy industry. 1 ‘The mandatory provision in the code that will not be so applied as to permit monopolies or monopolistic practices, is raw irony to aU who are acquainted with the set-up of the ‘Big Four’ tobacco companies and their practices. LABOR WILL FIGHT ‘The 40-hour week will not re-employ a single worker. The code as signed makes no provision against the stretch-out and the speed-up both of which, are evils which defeat all wage increases in this industry. Labor is torced to take the code only because it is the law. “But labor will not submit supinely to the insult administered by this code. “Labor is prepared to organize a national boycott of the products of those companies which proposed the industry's code. ‘Those companies of an industry which has a labor cost of only 2 pur cent of wholesale value and which have enjoyed an enormous profit while nearly all other industry was operating at a loss, aijenot entitled to the patronage of labor anywhere.” NEW YORK—Plans for'a campaign to collect 1,000,000 signatures ot young people urging the New York legislature to approve the Federal Child Labor Amendment was an nounced by the New York State Com mittee Against Child La bo* The ef fort of the Youth Committee is spon sored by the Young Women’s Chris tian Association, the Greater New fork Federation of Churches, the I--- - Federal Council of Churches, and a number of other prominent religious, reformist and student organizations.

D.) have introduced a resolution asking for a thorough investigation of the National Recovery Adminis tration. While. 21 allegations rre made, they are not; sponsored by these Senators, who meiely contend that the Senate should know definitely what is being done and how. The “Ninth Guest,” a Mystery Picture at Charlotte Theatre Mystery pictures will never lose their audience attraction, providing they are well-made, intelligently motivated, and contain sufficient sus pense and thrills. Direct proof of this statement is offered by “The Ninth Guest,” the Columbiap reduc tion which opens Friday at the Char lotte Theatre. :J A comparatively new formula is used in “The Ninth Guest." Eight guests, all of whom dislike each other intensely, are summoned by mysterious telegrams to a party in a smart New York penthouse. Once there, they cannot discover the identity of their tiost. A strange radio voice an nounces that they are all to die un less they can outwit him. All the action of the picture takes place during that one evening in that >ne setting. And sure enough, be fore tiie final fade-out six of the ruests have met with strange and hor rible ends. Only two survive. We’ll give you but one hint to aid you in your own attempted solution, rhe murderer is one of the eight guests. But even with that informa don, if you can establish his iden nty before another member of the last does it for you, you deserve a vriting job in Hollywood. “The Ninth Guest” presents an in eresting group of players. Donald Sook and Genevieve Tobin both popu ar screen stars, again give convinc ng performances. Less well-known are Edward Ellis, Helen Flint and Nella Walker, all three comparatively recently from thel New York stag'..
