PROUD FOLKS OF HILLS WAR ON MILL FATE

Textile Strikers in South Are Descendants of Nation's Pioneers. LURED BY HIGH WAGES Turn to Unions for Help to Make Utopian Dreams Come True. Ihf followlns torv is the first of a serie- designed to five the hackfround Slid explain the issues of the present Textile labor troubles in the new indust rial south. BY EDWARD VV. LEWIS I nited Press Staff Correspondent , C oj right. l&2. by United Pre.fi) ■\TLANTA, Ga.. April 26. —Streets ol a group of mill towns in the ( rolinas and the Happy Valley ection of western Tennessee are today with lineal descendants t America’s earliest settlers, stern, n men and women out on strike. The 10,000 or more strikers—- ! .'hers, mothers, daughters, sons in is ;ny instances, are all capable of , : mng wages, worked in the mills -represent in race the proudest and 11. t , • independent stock of native \ mericans, who settled in the Caroisnas and Appalachian highlands in colonial days. The strikes have followed a social I l.cnomena in present day American life. Came Down From Hills During the past two; years, a p nod that marked the amazing movement of industry Into the < ith, the-e came down from the mountains and out from the farms, men and women and their families whose ancestors had lived the rigid independent lives of country folk. They were lured by wages offered at the new mills. At more than 400 great textile plants they found work. Such a wage as sls a week looked fabulous after the bare living eked from barren soil. The present strikes mark the first reaction, the first concerted evidence of discontent, that they have shown, since they changed their mode of living. Where they had expected to grow rich, strikers claim they found themselves exploited. Trapped in Poverty Where they had expected to live in houses with running water, receive the advantages of city dwellers. strikers claim they found themselves contracting sickness, unable to send their children to school because of their poverty and unable to earn in some instances a living wage. Mill owners have denied the exploitation. They claim that where poverty has existed, the worker was at, fault. One prominent textile manufacturer, who himself rose from the ranks, explained his resistance to strike demands, thus: "Suppose you were employer of a man who you were paying $5 a day. Suppose further that he, of his own volition, would work but. three days a week so that his weekly wage amounted to sls. Then suppose he came to you and demanded a raise on the grounds that he was unable to support his family on sls a week. Shiftless. Say Operators Raise? You would tell him that if he could work a full week he could double his own income and unlets he showed full disposition to better his own conditions, through his own efforts, you would have little sympathy for him.” The average striking operative, lute his forebears, is an individualist. Some of his ancestors settled their difficulties with the rifle. But. as they turned from the plow to the loom, many have turned to organization to settle their difficulties. Whether the labor troubles are the result of union organizers’ agitation still is a disputed question. Strikers have claimed they saw In the unions the only salvation from their conditions. Recognition of the National Textile Workers’ union in North Carolina and the United Textile Workers' union at Elizabethton. Tenn.. is the basic demand of strikers. In South Carolina, several thousand workers, unorganized. are out. however. PROTECT CITIZENSHIP I S. Moves to Prevent Other Nations Requiring Military Service. P-j I nitnl Press WASHINGTON.

Hardly had the lines been made fast to the pier and the first gang plank dropped when fifty customs officers went aboard in search of liquor. Drop Booze Into Sea According to ship’s officers, they would find none because the surplus barroom stock was dropped overboard at 1 a. m„ well outside the restricted area.

Young, psychologist, regarding the intelligence tests given Daisy by permitting a former student at Wabash college to testify that answers given by Dr. Young to questions he had been asked were incorrect. “Daisy still stands at the head of the class,” murmured Judge Van Buskirk in approving the testimony, “and if we keep on, we’ll be classing everyone with where she is.” “You mean with where she ought to be, don't you, judge?” amended H.

Join the Golden Rule Club and Cut Down Great Death Toll. Care in driving can not be legis'lated. ’ The 554 deaths in Marion county in the last sixty months and the more.than ,15,000 injured conclusively prove- this. All thfe traffic ordinances in the worlcf, wielded by the most stringent, department o.f police possible to obtain, can not compel motorists to drive carefully nor pedestrians to cross streets in the safest manner. But every man. woman and child cherishes one thing above all, and that is a. PROMISE. Mothers admonish their children to “Promise me that you will do this,” and husband and wives promise .each other at the altar to care for each other. Promise You’ll Be Careful HUMANITY asks YOU to PROMISE that you will drive with care. The Indianapolis Times believes in the promise of every man, woman and child in Marion county. If you PROMISE to drive with care, walk with care, and play with care, The Times knows that you will do so. In the interest of humanity, it has sponsored the Golden Rule Safety Club. This is an organization without dues, without rules and without officers, and with but one request: PROMISE to “drive as you would want others to drive and when walking, to cross streets as you would like others to cross if you were driving.” Fill Out the Card In every edition of The Times is a membership card. It is on Page 7 today. Fill it out, hand it to a policeman, Boy Scout, or Girl Scout and you are a member of the greatest civic organization in Marion county. You owe it to yourself, your family, your friends and the public to join the Golden Rule Safety Club. To drive home the lesson of the Golden Rule, the management of Loew’s Palace theater has co-oper-ated in the safety campaign. Beginning Saturday, it will have as an added feature a two-reel photoplay, “The Penalty.” Film Is Interesting The picture itself is based upon an old, old story in every city in the United States. The “scenario” has been taken from life. It is not the usual grim and shuddery “safety campaign” movie that spares none of the horrible details of a traffic accident—on the contrary, it lacks the grim details and has confined its appeal to the mental angle of how differently we feel about the traffic accident problem when someone dear to us or a loved one is involved. It is a story of the price of a moment’s selfish negligence —a chain of circumstances which lead to a totally unexpected, unlookedfor climax. Studio produced in Hollywood, filmed by Leo J. Lipp, former ace cameraman with Famous Players Lasky, and directed by Victor Pope. The production has a real story value and human interest appeal.

SWAT WATSON FOR SHIFT ON FARM RELIEF Democrats Launch Attack on Hoosier’s Plan to Crush Debenture Scheme. ‘WHY SUDDEN SHIFT’ Joe Robinson Recalls How Indianan Fought for Equalization Fee. BY PAUL R. MALLON United Press Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON. April 26.—Senator James E. Watson, new administration leader, moved in the senate today to crush the debenture plan of farm relief opposed by President Herbert Hoover and was promptly questioned by Democrats' on why he had deserted the equalization fee principle. Watson offered an amendment to the farm bill reported by the senate agriculture committee, proposing to eliminate completely the debenture section written into the measure by an 8 to 6 vote in committee. Senator Joseph Robinson of Arkansas, Democratic leader, asked if Watson intended to offer the equalization fee plan which he championed during previous congresses before the plan was vetoed the second time by President Coolidge. Watson said he had no such plans and would explain the situation at the proper time. What Caused Switch? “What has brought about this change in’ the dreams of the senator?” asked Robinson. “When will we take decisive action of farm relief? I am in hopes this question may be eliminated from politics although the senator from Indiana seems to want to perpetuate it. He has thrived on it and continues to thrive with his zestful propaganda in campaigning.” When Chairman Charles McNarv of the agriculture .committee, coauthor of the old McNary-Haugen bill said he, too, would abandon the equalization fee and vote against the debenture plan, Robinson recalled both Watson and McNary made speeches in the senate, “assuring us that the equalization fee was sound economically and poltically wise.” “Now after the election, the senator from Indiana says some day, some time, he will tell the senate why he was wrong when he appealed to the senate to ignore and overide the then existing administration,” Robinson continued. McNary Explains Ktand “The forceful eloquence of the senator in unconvincing speeches which aroused suspicion then is unexplainable now, although I know he can explain any deficiency in his own conduct at least to his own satisfaction.” McNary said he did not propose to support either the equalization fee or the debenture plan because he wanted a bill passed and signed this time which would be beneficial to agriculture. “If its proves to be weak and ineffective I will join the senator from Arkansas in putting some effective measure through,” McNary added. During the debate Senator George Norris of Nebraska brought up his amendment to authorize decreases in the debenture plan if it should result in ove production of more than 20 per cent. Norris proposed his amendment to meet one of the objections lodged against the plan by the President. House Passes Measure The housfe today sent President Herbert Hoover’s farm program to the senate labeled with an extraordinary 367 to 34 approval. Seldom has an administration issue received such an overwhelming indorsement. Only thirty-two of the 166 Democrats in the house opposed it, and only two Republicans. More than 100 Democrats voted for the bill. The house vote is being interpreted by senate leaders as meaning the house will not accept the debenture amendment under any conditions, and they believe it indicates bi-partisan sentiment is strongly favorable to the $500,000,000 co-opera-tive marketing bill. With the Democrats split, the farm bloc divided, and administration forces drawing closer together, it appears likely Hoover will have an opportunity within the next two or three weeks of signing a farm bill to his liking. BOY LEADS TO STILL Police Raid Due to Lad’s Remark; Man Held on Liquor Count. A chance remark by a small boy whom Sergeant Leroy Bartlett and squad were giving a ride in their police car Thursday night today resulted in discovery of an eighty-gal-lon still and a large quantity of whisky materials and the arrest of Carl Mack, 39, of 1755 East Raymond street. As the police drove past Mack’s place the boy remarked: “That’s the place they make whisky.” Bartlett and squad went there today and found the boy told the truth.
