Organization Held Patriotic Duty
President Green and Secretary Morrison, in Labor Day Messages, Stress Workers’ Unequalled Opporunity
ORGANIZATION aSB Labors opportunity and responsibility under the “new deal” were emphasized in Labor Da-y messages by President William Green and Secretary Frank Morrison of the American Federatiop of Labor. Both chieftains sounded a clarion call to workers to organize effectively, declaring th^t this is absolutely necessary to assist the government in putting through its program of national recovery. “If is the patriotic duty of every America ’ ncitizen,” said President Green, “to assume responsibility for making recovery plans successful and for identifying himself with his group for carrying out its principles. “Without the cooperation of labor, the NRA would be fatally handicapped. “The experience and the needs of workers are essential in order to formulate the rules of the industry wisely. To make this information useful, workers must be
| organized to collect facts and orm judgments.” Without organization, President Green insisted, workers will be cheated of the benefits of the adpiipistration’s program- He added: “Union workers will have a part in formulating plans to provide jobs for the unemployed and to increase consumer buying power. “Workers outside of unions will he unable to participate and by their failru.e to take part will lessen the influence of organized groups.” Secretary Morrison emphasized that workers can obiain protection only through bona fide unions, and pointed out that the National Recovery Act recognizes their right to join groups of their own choosing. “In no other type of organization,” the beloved labor leader continued, “has the worker greater freedom to deal with questions relating to conditions of immediate concern to himself than is af forded in Hie trade union.”
Profteering Worrying NRA; Keezer Pledges Consumer Aid
Appointment of Young Newspaperman Answer to Charge Public Is Neglected; Two-Salary Employes Block Price Control; Wallace Fears Buyers’ Strike.
“I understapd jjpy job is to look industry, and announced an in after the interests of the consum- instigation, to start next week,
er, and I expect to do so.”
That assurance was given this |, expfir t s w ill take a squint at them week by Dexter Keezer when be tc see whether they give a true

Manufacturers are to be comjpelled to bring in their hooks and

-heard of the NRA.
4 Keezer is a young Coloradan who has made a reputation as a Washington newspaper writer. He is a recognized economist and a liberal. For years he has specialized in the study of distribution and consumption 9nd has written
'hooks ou these subjects.
The appointment of Keezer was regarded as the administration’s response to a challenge by William F. Ogburn, a University of Chicago professor, that the consumers’ board was following potijl_ «ra«r for pro-
cies that paved the way
fiteering.
A Disturbing Situation Ogburn and two associates resigned because, they said, they >yere unable to make the board an effective instrument to safeguard •consumers. W]hat the economists declared openly officials of the NRA have been saying “off thcrecord.” They admit that the bureaus set up to protect consumers have neither the staffs nor the money to do an effective job. One official told LABOR that they were set up for “psychological effect” and were not expected to go after profiteers with a club. •In both the AAA and the NRA are strong elements which bitterly oppose every sugestion of price regulation. ' It is openly charged that employes in responsible positions are drawing salaries from outside interests in additon to their government pay, and that their loyalty, apparently, is to their private employers. So fav this group has been able to head off a real movement in behalf of consumers. It is clear, therefore, that the new economic adviser’s task is already cut out for him. Soaring prices have become a matter ot sericus concern to agencies handling the administration’s recovery
program.
A fear expressed from the outset—that the cost of goods would get far out in front of employment and wages—has in so many instances become a painful reality that leaders of the administration this week sounded warnings of
danger ahead.
The Department of Labor reports that living costs have jumped about 10 per cent during
the past two months. Fears Buyers’ Strike

Likened to Highway Robbery Peek pointed out that the total cost of raw cotton, including tire tax, is much lower at presenf thai] at any time between 1922 and 193,0. Nevertheless, he said, pi’ices cf cotton goods are at least 40 per .cent higher than they should be— and in some cases nearly double
that figure.
Making no effort to hide the fact that he is “peeved” at What has happened, Peek cited instances of “deliberate pxofiteer
ing.”
W'hite shirts, he said, in the last few weeks have egoxxe .up 7" per cent; cotton drosses, 75 per cept; men’s socks, 73 per cent; sheets, 55 per cent. These px-jees are “little lest than highway robbery,” Peek in sisted, and showed that the tax in.creased the prices of men’s shirts less than 1 cent, added only onelalf cent to a pair of socks, and ess than 3 cents to a typical coton dress. o Radio Workers Win Union Recognition Atwater Kent Employes Gain Wage Increase; Second Big Victory.

In answer to the questions of a million visitors from all parts of the world who have seen the life size, three dimensional reproduction of Fildes’ famous painting, “The Doctor” now being shown in the famous painting. “The Doctor” now being shown in the Chicago Fair’s Hall of Science, Miss Retta Clark, a Toledo, Ohio, nurse, a recent visitor to the fair, and a great grand niece of Sir James Clark, personal physician to the late Queen Victoria, said in id recent interview that the child in the picture recovered from the attack of diphtheria. ! Miss Clark’s great uncle, Sir James, was the physician used as a model for the original painting and actually eared for the child during its illness on the Queen’s Balmoral Castle estate in North
Scotland.
The answer of the Toledo nurse, through her knowledge of the circumstances connected with the scene shown in the famous picture, may be trusted as authentic and is of great satisfaction to the throngs of people who daily crowd in to see “The Doctor.”

KEEPING WOOLENS WOOLLY
Y^OOL, since it is an animal fiber, is very sensitive to extremes of temperature, rubbing and harsh soap. Great care should be taken in washing woolen garments, in order to prevent fading, shrinki«g or stretching. Washing Suggestions 1. Prepare tepid or cool suds, using mild, pure, white soap or flakes. Do not take a chance on home-made soap. A little borax will soften very hard water. 2. Put garment into the suds and wash quickly by gently swirling and squeezing suds through it, repeating in fresh suds if necessary. Do not rub. 3. Squeeze suds out without wringing and put garment through several lukewarm rinsings. Squeeze as dry as possible, without twisting. 4. Spread knitted garment on bath towel and pull into shape according to original measurements taken before washipg. Place another towel between front and back of garment if there is any trimming or contrasting color. Garments made of woven material may safely be hung up. Dry in warm place; never place .on a radiator or before a fire. Small garments such as children’s sweaters and adults’ wool hose, will keep in better shape if dried over forms.

By unanimous vote of the legislative assembly, Quebec has dealt a death blow to billboard advertising along more than 15,000 miles of improved highways. Under the new law, high spot in a campaign to preserve the natural appearance of the countryside, Minister Perrault of the Highways Department is empowered to prohibit or remove any signs which, in his opinion, disfigure the landscape or obscure the scenery. Picture shows kind of forest and lake scenery law protects.
QUEBEC.—With enactment of a| law ridding its 15,650 miles of improved highways of unsightly billboard advertising, the Province of •Quebec, Canada, has won a war against an enemy which organizations in the United States have
long battled in vain.

Passage of the legislation, of the type so long sought by civic organizations and women’s clubs in the United States, marks a high spot in the movement which Mr. Per-! rault has been directing to pre-; serve the scenic charm and .quaint French atmosphere of Quebec. Calling upon the lawmakers to protect the Province’s investment in its good roads and at the same time decrease traffic mishaps through better visibility, the min- ! ister said “it is little short of criminal to pour money into scenic j highways and then qblitorate their beauty with road signs and hot dog stands. I think it is high time •we returned our rural districts to
old Mother Nature.”
