WASHINGTON.—Some of the
most vigorous_and colorful of this
year's campaigns will be made by
women,
Miss Josephine Reche’s id for
the governorship of Colorado is
to be taken sgeriously. She is
forceful and able, popular in her
state, and has strong political
backing.
The political backing, which is
perhaps the most important fac
tor to consider, will come primar
jly from Senator Edward P. Cos
tigan, Assisgtont Secretary of thq
Interior Oscar L. Chapman, or
ganized labor, and Colorado’s
Young Democrats.
Ex-Governor Billy Adams, who
has served more than 50 years as
a state legislator or governor,
hasn't decided whether he will
also enter the race against Ed
Johnson, the present governor.
That means that his nephew,
Senator Alva Adams, hasn’t de
cided yet whether he can support
Miss Roche. ;
This country hasn’t had a wo
man governor for some time ex
cept Miriam Ferguson, in Texas,
whose husband Jim is supposed
to be the real governor there.
Costigan’s political power in
Colorado resembles that of Sena
tor George W. Norris in Nebras
ka—a personidl strength. Chap
man managed his last successful
campaign as well as that of
Adams, and probably could have
had the gubernatorial nomination
if he had wanted it. ‘
Miss Roche will run on a New
Deal platform and her own rec-‘
ord. She is perhaps the best
known woman - industrialist in
America, as president -of the(
Rocky Mountain Fuel company.
She has always been a fighter
for social justice and made co
operation with union labor the
keystone of operation in her
mines. |
Then there’s energetic Mrs.
Gertrude Bowler, Democratic nat
ional committeewoman in Wiscon
sin, who may be her party's can
didate to oppose Senator Bob La-
Follette on the Progressive ticket
and the regular Republican can
didate next November.
Active in politics long before
the Democrats amounted to any
thing in Wisconsin and a leader
in the women’s wing of the re
peal movement, Mrs. Bowler has
campaigned vigorously for nomi
nation.
Many saloons, barber shops,
beauty parlors, stores, and cases
are plestered with Bowler posters.
She tells labor of its advantages
under the recovery program and
urges it to hold wup strikes until
injustry gets back on its feet.
She tells the farmers how she
sawed wood, milked cows, and
planted corn as a xirli Thus far
N 0 very strong male .competition
has appeared against her.
An aggressive, earnest, amia
ble, ang extremely active woman,
thec has a good chance of nomi
nation unless the men drag out
4 dark horse again her—which ig
likely .

and Assistant Secretary Tugwell

ATLANTA CLUB HERE
Charter Is Presented by
International Vice
President
The local chapter of Pilot Club
International received its charter
at a banquet held last night at 8
o'clock at the Georgian hotel. Thé
charter was brought by the At
lanta club, which organized the
local group. Louise Starr, presi
dent of the Athens club, presided.
Representatives of various civic
clubs were invited guests. Speak
ers of the evening were Fay Bar
rett, vice-president of Pilot Inter
national, who presented the char
ter; Ruth Gordon, of the Savan
nah Pilot club; Rev. Stanley R.
Grubb, president of the Lions
club; and B. M. G@Grier, president
of Rotary. Misgs Minnie Cutler
played several wviolin selections
during the evening.
In presenting the charter, Mrs.
Barrett spoke briefly on the ideals
of Pilotism.
“There is nothing new about
Pilot and its principles,” she said.
“It was organized for a definite
purposge with a well-defined end in
view. There are two broad under
lying reasons why your club was
organized. First, to be of service
to the community, state and na
tion; second, for exchange of
ideas, creation of good will, pro
motion of tolerance, and the de
velopment and maintenance of
friendghip among its members.”
‘Definite Program
She said the club should have &
definite program, based upon “in
telligent forethought.” This fore
thought, she explained, should
come from the Ileaders of the
group.
“Our chief objective, community
welfare,” she stated, ‘gives us a
broad field for service. There is a
rich opportunity for unselfish en
deavor to open our hands. We
believe that there exists in every
community, regardless of how
happy and prosperous it may be,
a need for something more. Pilot
is supplying that need.”
“As citizens,” she said, conclud
ing, “you have a part in the civic
betterment of your city; you have
a voice in the problems that come
up in civic and social life. As
business women, it means recrea

On motion of Councilman Du-

pointing out that he had refrained
from bringing up theé matter soon
'or because of the state of the city’s
finances, ‘The Milledge Circle
project was passed when the lay
ing of a main on King avenue was
approved, he said, and now that
the King avenue project has been
finished he moved the beginning
of the work in the third ward. He
pointed out that the private line

It obtained, after days of peaces
making efforts, an agreemert bes
tween the management and the
workers to suspend all overt acts
until after a detailed study by
the NRA of the interlocked ques
tions of production and wages and
hours, e
A few minutes after Thomus F.
McMahon, president of the United
Texitle Workers of America, and
George A. Sloan, chairman of the
Cotton Textile Code authority,
with associates, had signed the
agreement, the workers’ represen
tatives telegraphed all Ilocals tg
rescind the strike order which
would have taken an estimated
200,000 out on Monday. 1
The agreement, however, stipus
lated that the compact in no way
prejudiced the right of labor to

brought about by Hugh S. John
son, recovery administrator, gave
to labor its request that it have
|a voice in the labor advisory board
and the cotton textile code auth
ority. A member of the united
textile workerg is to be named to
‘the labor advisory board and an
other delegated as labor advisor

code authority.
Johnson sald one of the issues
made by the workers was “an ine
crease of 33 1-3 per cent in the
labor element of the cost of cot
ton textiles.”
“As to wages,” he said in a for
mal statement which disclosed the
plan for a study of that among
other subjects, “it is clear that =
no such violent increase as 33 13
per cent in all wage scales, if any,
can be considered at this time.
The rise in price of cotton textile
hasg been one of the chief consumer
complaints.” T
To Make Study .
The revised Industrial Relations
board, aungmented by added labor
representation, will combine with

are necessary to meet nmormal de
mand? 'The report on this to be
made within ten days. - e
What increase, if any, - wage
rates is possible? Report to be
made in 14 days. e g
Have wage differentials above
the minimum been maintained?
(The question of northern and
southern differentials has disturb
ed both the industry and the
workers.) Report to be made with
in 30 days. s ey
What changes have taken. place
in man-hour productivity?
The division of planning and re
gearch is to cooperate with the in
dustrial ~relations board -in its
study of the work load, involving
the highly controverted system of

production for a worker is in
creased without a corresponding
pay increase. S
