LoriUard Tobacco Co. Signs Contract With 7,000 Workers WASHINGTON, D, C.—A tremend ous forward stride in the organization under the A. F. of L. banner of all workers in the cigarette industry was achieved with the signing of union contracts with the P. Lorfllard Com pany, makers' of “Old Golds” and other tobacco products. More than 7,000 workers lire cov ered in the contracts, the first union agreement ever negotiated with this company. Its plants in Jersey City, Richmond and Louisville are all in cluded. Wide benefits were*gained by the workers under the new contracts. Outstanding are provisions for a 40 hour week, a flat 5 per cent wage increase, a week’s annual vacation with pay, the granting of seniority rights, union recognition and adjust ment of shop disputes. The unions which already have signed contracts with the P Lorillard Company are the Tobacco Workers, International Union, Cigar Makers’ International Union and the Interna tional Association of Machinists. Fed eral Labor Union 19897 is expected to sign a contract in a few days for its members, the warehouseman. AU unions are covered in a single master agreement covering general conditions of employment, while wage rates are fixed in separate contracts with each union. Francis P. Fenton, National Direc tor of Organisation for the American Federation of Labor, who played an active role in the contract negotia tions, was jubilant at the successful out some. He said: “Nothing can stop us now from Or ganising the entire American cigarette and tobacco industry. We already have organised some of the largest plants in the country. The addition of the P. Lorillard Company is a great achievement fo rthe A. F. of L. unions and wil lspur the drive for complete unionisation of the industry.” THE JOURNAL has by fi he largest city circulation of< iy weekly published in Char lotte.

State Treaurer of Pa. Says Lindbergh Is No. 1 5th Columnist YORK. Pa.. June 21.—F. Clair Ross, Treasurer of the Common* wealth of Pennsylvania, told Pennsyl vania Veterans of Foreign Wars yes terday that “time and history will will show Colonel Charles A. Lind bergr to be a No. 1 fifth columnist of the nation.’ Colonel Lindbergh has been both applauded and criticised for views he expressed in recent radio speeches. In one he called for an end to “hysterical chatter of calamity and invasion,” and said the course the government had been following “leads to neither friend ship nor peace.” Following Mr. Ross’s speech, he de livered at the State Department’s an nual encampment, the veterans adopt ed a resolution saying “the sentiments expressed by speakers at our conven tion do not necessarily convey the sen timent* of this encampment.
