NRA HIGHLIGHTS Auto Code Kxtendad An amendment extending the Auto mobile Code until June 16, the expir ation date of the N. I. R. A., is one of four amendments just approved by President Roosevelt. The other three provide that time and a half shall be pajd all employees working more than ■48 hours in any one week; that the Automobile Labor Board be continued, and that the industry bring out new models in the Fall, when possible, and hold automobile shows preferably at that season of the year. Try To Get Restaurants and Bakeries Together The question as to just when a res taurant merges mto a bakery is pend ing between the Code Authorities of the industries and the Industrial Ap peals Board has asked the appoint ment of a joint committee to work out i a solution Under the Baking Code. ! restaurant employees would work fewer hours and get more pay. Bituminous Coal Prica Boards The Bituminous Coal Code’s present method of establishing minimum; pr.cas and setting up arbitration boards to handle disputes arising from price schedules has beea extended un-1 til April 30 by the N. I. R. B. This ; action was taken to m«et an emer- i gency in the industry. .Match Industry In order to give American match manufacturers relief from foreign competition, the N. I. R. B has issued an order, effective for the coming half year, relieving members from the code provison that none “shall guar antee pr.ces and floor stocks against decline in prices.” Under actual op eraton, the American firms found that this provision worked a hardship an them, because it left them at a dis advantage In competing with foreign firms not subject to the Match Code. Hollywood Complaints Settled The Studio Labor Board, establish ed to handle labor troubles arising in Hollywood studios under the Motion Picture Industry Code, settled 225 complaints m the first eight months of I its existence. The representatives of the producers, labor and the govern ment, comprising the Board, have worked together so efficiently that no appeal has been taken from any of its decisions Kmbroidery Design Registration Proposed The Schiffli embroidery field is con sidering a plan to follow the silk field into design registration. By reg istering designs, the silk firms have been able to reserve patterns for their originators, as no design may be am ployed until it has been compared with those on file to establish its orig inality. The embroidery firms have had much difficulty in reserving de signs- A public hearing to consider the proposal was held b>1 NRA on February 11, The Minimum Mark-ups on Cigarettes THe N. I. R. B. has extended the orders establishing minimum mark ups on sales of cigarettes under the Wholesale and Retail Tobacco Codes until March 30. The NRA recognized an emergency due to destructive price autting on July 12, last, and issued tlw; first orders for minimum mark ups. Mark-ups are minimum percen tages which musl be added to the cigarette manufacturer’s prices. They were designed to stop the use of cig arettes as “loss leaders." May Stop Use of Script for Wages The NRA Advisory Council has rec ommended to the N I. R. B. that the use of script in paying wages be pro hibited. Script has been widely used in the bituminous coal industry, but is now causing difficulties in the lum ber, steel and textile fields.

ADVERTISE IT IN THE GUIDE AUGUST BIGGEST LYNCHING MONTH STATISTICS SHOW Winter Always An Off Season; A Lynching Every 9 1-3 Days In Last 20 Years New York.—Lynching is an other seasonal industry with most mob murders taking place in August, according to a statisti cal analysis of 777 lynchings for the 20-year period, 1915-1934, made by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. The least number of lynchings usually occurs in the months of January, February, March and April. May generally registers a leap of 56 per cent as the season officially opens. This level is maintained through June. There follows a 17 per cent slump in July, but August marks a sharp upturn of 53 per cent to the year’s peak. In September there is customarily a drop of 53 per cent in lynching, a further decline of 13 per cent in October and in the last two months of the year mob violence tapers off to an average of 9 per cent more than the usual number for January. There has been a lynching each 9 1-3 days during the 20-year period. A similar seasonal fluctuation is noted in the burning of human beings, both before and after death, of which there were 67 during the period, 1919-1934, or .087 of all lynchings. The number of burnings is greatest in May and November; the "dull” months being February, March, April and July. The lynchings by months for the past 20 years follow: ________ Damp Wash 826 Per Pend Minimum bundle 48c -' v*« " ; rM Edholm and Sherman LAUNDERER and dry cleaners 2401 North 24th St. We 6055 L-——-- — r m January _ 55 July _ 66 February _42 August _ 105 ! March-41 September. 76 April - 44 October _ 66 May-78 November_62 June - 80 December_62 The report considers significant the fact that a campaign for an anti-lvnching bill has always brought about a decline in the number of lynchings. When the Dyer An ei-Lvnching Bill was first introduced in the House of Representatives in 1920, there had been 83 lynchings the year be fore. In 1920 lynchings declined to 65. There followed an intensive eampiagn for the passage of the Dyer Bill during 1921, when lynchings dropped to 64, and 1922 when there was a further decline to 61. Having passed the House in January 1922, the Dyer Bill failed in December in the Sen ate, but in 1923, there were only 28 lynchings, a sharp drop of 54 per cent. Likewise ,when lynchings mounted from 10 in 1932 to 28 in 1933, the Costigan-Wagner Anti Lynching Bill was introduced in the Senate and House with at tendan publicity. Lynchings dur ing 1934 thereupon declined toj 16. This bill was again introduced in the Senate in January and hear-j ings will be held on it by the Jud-' iciary Committee on February' 14. | As a fur.hejr indication of the1 effectivences of the threat of a federal anti-lvnching bill, the As sociation's officers poin to ex traordinary efforts taken by of-' ficers of the law in several South-! e*n states to prevent lynchingsj during the past year. On several occasions governors have mobil ized the militia to halt mob mur ders. WORKER KIDNAPPED Last Sunday night, marauders entered he home of Saul Williams and carried him off. No word of; him has been heard since. Wil liams was well-known among steel workers as a fighter against company violence and for the unity of Negro and white trade unionists. Brandishing blackjacks and cursing violently, a band of thugs burst into the home of A. Carter. Luckily, Carter was not at home. The brigands ransacked the house thoroughly in their search for Carter. When they could not find him, they vilely abused Car ter’s wife and duaghter. Invaders “Well Dressed’’ Mrs. Carter described the in vaders as “well dressed’’ and ro bust looking.’ They came to the house in a large closed car bear ing a Birmingham tag. SOCIALIST MAYOR REFUSES SUPPORT TO ANTI-JIM CROW MEASURE Hartford, Conn.—(CNA)—Jas per McLevy (white), Socialist Mayor of Bridgeport, flatly re fused to endorse two proposed amendments of lie Connecticut BfU of Rights, designed to end relietf administration and police terror agains^ the Negro popula tion of this s ate. “Negroes are not discriminated against any more than any other group of workers,” was ihe Soc ialist Mayor’s weak reply to he demand of a delegation seeking his endorsement. The delegation composed of Negro and white workers and professionals, was organized by the League of Strug gle for Negro Rights and ihe In lernatiomu Labor Defense. When asked for his opinion on the police murder of Lorenzo Brown, McLevy white-washed the crime, stating that the worker had died of “heart disease.” .. ■ ■ - '■■■■■■■-. .. -- - Classified Ads and Business DIRECTORY Help us to Build Bigger and Better Business.
