SAVANNAH ENJOYS
NORMAL WEATHER
MERCURY AGAIN RESTING
AROUND USUAL
POINT
Savannah’s temperature, after a
fortnight of “acting up,” is again
running true to form with pleasant
breezes lowering the mercury to the
point where 85 may again be referred
to as the maximum. Savannahians
are enjoying moderate temperatures
while other portions of the country
are sweltering in the heat wave, and
despairing of rain.
No rainfall is predicted by the
weather bureau for the vicinity, but
the forecast does promise “cloudy
weather” and variable winds. Citi
zens may therefore expect a continu
ation of the mild weather, even
though it may not rain. Local con
ditions, however, are not as parched
as those out west, and the showers
are not as greatly needed in this sec
tion as elsewhere.
Other cities in Georgia are still in
the throes of the wave, with tempera
tures as high as 104 being reported
at Americus, and only slightly lower
maximums at several other points.

APPEARS AS AFTER. •
MATH
Andrew Brown, negro, residing at

Georgia Infirmary with possible fatal
knife wounds last night as the result
of a cutting scrape yesterday after
noon.
A call at police headquarters at
3:27 o’clock yesterday afternoon of
the disorder at Perry and Randolph
streets brought Officers E. F. Kenard,
R. T. Russell and J. J. Flaherty.to
the scene. They found Brown had
been badly slashed about the abdo
men. Witnesses named a negro
known as “Eugene” as the assailant
of Brown. “Eugene” had disappear
ed before the arrival of officers but
a description of him was obtained.
The man’s home was said to be at

LABOR TROUBLE HERE IN ABEYANCE
AS FEDERAL MEDITATION BOARD
REQUESTS POSTPONEMENT OF STRIKE
The possibility of riverfront labor
disorder and interruption of shipping
activity at Savannah because of the
dock workers’ strike scheduled to take
place two wesks from tomorrow at
all South Atlantic ports was con
tained in the official announcement
yesterday of the promised walk-out.
C. M. Cox, who termed himself busi
ness representative of the local union
of the International Longshoremen’s
Association, said the members of the
union here would go on strike tomor
row because the local stevedoring
companies which hire the longshore
men would not make term with the
organization.
Cox said the ILA walkout would in
clude the ports of Brunswick, Jack
sonville, Wilmington, Charleston, Mi
ami and Tampa and that the union
longshoremen would strike simultane
ously at these ports- Mr. Cox made
the announcement in a statement to
The Daily Times early yesterday aft
ernoon. Last night he stated the strike
at Savannah and other South Atlan
tic ports had been ordered postponed
two weeks by ILA President J. P.
Ryan. The delay was requested by
Assistant Secretary of Labor Edward
F. McGrady in order that federal
mediation might be tried to settle dif
ferences between shippers and long
shoremen.
Representatives of stevedoring com
panies at Savannah yesterday after
noon denied they had been given any
official notification by the local ILA
union of the strike. In fact, in some
quarters there was a feeling appareno
that the strike announcement was in
the nature of a bluff. Police authori
ties, however, have taken the reports
of the impending walkout quite seri
ously and say any friction that might
crop up between union and non-union
riverfront hands will be nipped in the
bud. It has been many years since
any serious labor trouble has been
experienced on the Savannah water
front and a”thorities seem determined
to maintain the city’s clean record.
In his statement to The Times, Mr.
Cox said the differences of the ILA
with the stevedoring companies was
concerned with the lagging back of
these companies in submitting to col
lective bargaining. This attitude is
the reason for the strike at all the
South Atlantic ports, Cox declared.
He continued: “For the last two
months our union has striven to en
ter into collective bargaining with 11 ?
stevedoring companies here to no
avail. We named our representatives
and wanted the stevedoring interests
to name theirs so that both groups
might meet and agree on questions
relating to hours, wages and working
conditions.
“Although there has been no direct

refusal of our offers the stevedoring
companies have stalled us off time
after time and the members of our
union have finally lost patience. The
strike was to have become effective

a short time in the hope of concilia

“The strike, of course, will take
place later if no agreement can be
reached. We do not anticipate any
violence and would like to reach an
amicable settlement but if the men
walk out the responsibility for any
thing which might happen rests en

These companies have disregarded the
provision of the national labor rela

Mr. Cox was asl i i if the Savannah

MAGAZINE PROTEST
PLAY DEPICTING
CAMP CONDITIONS
STAGE DRAMA ATTACKED
BITTERLY BY PUB
LICATION
Strong protest is voiced in this
week’s issue of the “Weekly Naval
Stores Revue” over the presentation
of a play by the Federal Theater
Works Progress Administration in
New York which depicts condit.ons
in naval stores camps in the south
in a light similar to “Tobacco Road.”
The Weekly Naval Stores Review
is published locally, and is Interna
ly recognized as the naval stores
trade journal. Its comment was:
“The Weekly Naval Stores Review,
which for nearly a half century has
watched and voiced the progress and
developments of the naval stores in
dustry, deplores that some of those
in charge of the Works Progress Ad
ministration in New’ York city, either
wilfully for the purpose of influenc
ing the negro voters of Harlem and
other metropolitan district or through
an astounding gross indifference to
their responsibilities, have apparently
been guilty of encouraging, promot
ing, and paying for the presentation
of a negro play which is a malicious
libel on the naval stores industry of
the south and an offensive and un
called for reflection on the white men
of the naval stores industry.
“The naval stores men of the en
tire Scuth have a right to condemn
such methods as are shown in the
presentation of a specially written
libelous play like Turpentine,’ and
especially' to resent that this play is
paid for by federal funds out of th?
money appropriated by congress for
the Works Progress Administration of
New’ York city. The WPA practically
becomes an endorser of the play un
der such conditions.
“The Review does not b?l:eve Con
gress intended federal money to be
used in this way to libel a Southern
industry. Souther.. congressmen could
properly protest against such methods.
The piny is reviewed in the the
ater magazine, “Variety,” as follows:
“TURPENTINE”
“ ‘Melodrama in three acts pre
sented by the Federal Theater Works
Progress Administration, at the La
fayette, N. Y., June 26; written by
J. A. Smith and Peter Morell; staged
by Emjo Basshe and Augustus Smith.
“WPA’s negro theater for its fourth
presentation has selected a melo
drama of Central Florida, a propa
ganda play which, while not com
mercial, rates with any of the protest
dramas on Broadway or Fourteenth
street, this season. It is radical; so
were the others.
“ ‘Relief show unit in this Harlem
spot is self-contained. Its settings are
designed and executed here and, other
than paying the bills, ths down town
end of the WPA outfit merely oper
ates the project. 'Turpentine’ prob
ably will not get the attention that
‘Macbeth’ did because of the nature
of the play’s intent-
“ ‘lt has a mixed cast, with coloed
players preponderant. Locale is in and
near a turpentine camp, where gum
from the pine trees is collected and
refined into rosin and turpentine.
Landlords from the North have cut
wages until the negro worersk cannot
earn enongh for food. There is hard
ship among the poor whites, too.
“ ‘There is but one solution, and
that is to unionize. The men are close
ly watched by overseers, all armed.
“ ‘ln addition to their sweaty labor,
the colored men at times have to
fight to save their women from the
white bosses.
“ ‘Drama naturally is injected into
the story in addition to the expose of
working conditions.
“ Tn its fashion, ’Turpentine’ aims
to d:pict the deep South in another
and more bitter way than ‘Tobacco
Road ’ which, however, is not protest
drama.
“ ‘The play’s authors hope to bet
ter the conditions in the Florida
camps and call attention to the ever
present threat of the chain gang for
slight infractions.
“After a rather slow start the play
picks up, with its minor excitements
rousing the Harlem contingent pres
ent at the first night. Some delay in
getting the curtain up, with the or
chestra recalled to the pit for a sec
ond overture. Enough men in the
band, but they could have had a bet
ter repertory.
“ ‘Major credit is given Gus Smtih,
co-author and leading colored player,
billed as ‘Forty-Four.’ He is also co
director with Emjo Basshe. John
Houseman is the “managing pro
ducer.’ ”
