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. One of

dustry, accordng to the Code Author
ity. At its request, the N. I. R. B.
has extended for 90 days the regula
tions for the contract system of pro
ducing garments for infants and
children. Under this system, employ
ment has been fairly well maintained

rated- At the same time, wholesale
and retail prices have not been in
creased.

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:

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.”
