OF L CONVENTION In this issue The Journal carries a tentative program of the State Fed eration of Labor, to be held in Greens boro next Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, August 14, IS, IS, which, of course, will be subject to some late changes. The Convention promises to be one of much interest, and while the attendance may be cut a little, a large number of delegates is ex pected, the list of visitors not being as large. Governor Broughton is scheduled for an address Monday af ternoon, and he is always well receiv ed by the delegates. Brother James F. Barrett is scheduled to respond to the address of welcome, so we know that is going to be well taken care of. We are sorry to note the absence of the name of Brother George L. Googe from the program, for he has been a part and parcel of oar State meetings, lo, these many years. Presi dent Fink will preside, after the open ing by R. D. Apple, Sr., president of the Greensboro Central Labor Union. The Federation finds itself finan cially and numerically in better shape than ever before in its history in the state of North Carolina, due to wise management along all lines, and increased effort and interest of the members of the different locals. Plans will be laid, and a line of procedure discussed to make the next twelve months the brightest in the history of the North Carolina Labor Movement, and there is no reason that such should not be the case. PAUL CHATHAM, N. C. CAPITALIST-PIONEER DEAD In the death of Mr. Paul Chatham, The Labor Journal editor and publisher lent a good friend. The Journal has been domiciled in the Chatham Building for the past 13 years and the early re lationship of tenant and landlord, quickly became a lasting rela tionship of friend for friend. He was ever considerate, gentle and above all, Mr. | Chatham represented that old school of Southern gentleman which is fast dwindling from our midst. His good deeds were not broadcast, but they were many, and he lived a life of honor and correctness with nothing to cover up. What more can you say of a fellow human, when he has laid down his armor in the battle of life. Mr. Chatham was a native of Elkin, of the famous. Chatham family connected with the woolen and real estate affairs of our state. i | Get MiWSnth Social Security Benefit ! UNION MAN’S FAMILY.

PRIVATE USB Shortly boforo the invasion of Eurooe, tho Navy Deportment sent an argent message to all shipyards making landing boats to speed op protec tion in order to have enough barges for the gigantic amphibious operation. Recently, it has been reported to the Nary that, during this critical pe riod, a leading executive of the Dravo Corporation, Wilmington, Del., which was engaged m building barges, took the tfnw of Government-paid employes to try to paint Ids own ‘ the executive is R. W. Semp, vice-president of Dravo. Here is the story, as told in sworn affidavits, of what happened: • "About 28 employee of the Drove Corporation were ordered by Supervisor J. R. Qualk to load a naval truck with Navy drop cloths (for protection against splashing paint), Navy paint brashes, lad ders, planks, and ether Naval painting equipment, while being paid b ythe Navy and working on the Navy’s time. “Said truck was taken out of the yard to the newly purchased home of the vice-president of the Dravo Corporation, Mr. Remp, and said men were ordered to paint the newly purchased home of said vice-president. “Several hours after the men started on the job, they were called back and the entire job was dropped when the APL painters’ union protested against CIO shipbuilders being used in this paint job.” NOTE—This was at least one case where a jurisdictional labor dispute saved the Government some money.—Charlotte News Editorial. GREAT MEN NOT MUCH ON LONG TALK “I served with General Washington in the Legislature of Virginia, be* fere the Revoiatioa. and, daring it, with Or. Franklin in Congress. I have never heard either of them speak tea minates at a time, nor to any bat the —sin point, which was to decide the qaestiea. , . limy laid their ahonlders to the great points, knowing that the little ones weald follow of themselves. If the present Congress errs in too maeh talking, how can it be otherwise, in a body to which the people send one haadred and fifty lawyers, whose trade it is to question everything, yield nothing, and talk by the hoar? That one haadred and fifty lawyers should do business together ought not to be expected.”—Thomas Jefferson. “GO-TO-SCHOOL” PLEA OF SEVERAL FED. AGENCIES —V— Because of a war-caused shrinkage in the nation’s high school population until it is now back to the levels of 1934, a national “Go-to-School Drive’” is being sponsored by the Children’s Bureau of the Department of Labor and the U. S. Office of Education of the Federal Security Agency, in co operation with the Office of War In formation and with the endorsement of the War Manpower Commission. Three million young people of high school age now are working full or part time in this country. Jobs have been the big reason the young people have not gone on to high school. The lure of big money has been a factor. Other factors—desire to help the Na tion, to help an employer, and to help the family—all play a prominent part in keeping young people out of school. LLOYDS WAGERS 8 TO 5 WAR WILL END BY OCT. 31 —V— LONDON, Aug. 7.— Lloyds of London is wager ing nearly 8 to 5 that the European phase of the war win terminate before Oct. 31. Current premium rates on insurance against the possi bility that the war in the west win end before Oct. 31 are approximately $252 to $400 insured. THE A. F. OF L.
