PENSAT|()N ACT E.
TO Be PRESENTED

Raleigh, N. c., Dec. 14.-A work
mems compensation bill will be rc-
commended by Commissioner of Labor
and Printing NJ. l.. Shipman and III
troduced at the next session of the
North Carolina general assembly, it
was announced at the capitol today.
After unsuccessful efforts last year
to pass such legislation because lacor
representatives opposed all proposed
measures, the bill to be introduced IN
January probably will be framed by
committee of manufacturers aEo
labor delegates, it was stated, and
will have the support of woman's or
ganizations, the Democratic party and
Commissioners Shipman.
Eve have scarcely begun our labor
legislation along the line of giving
security to the working man in his
job" said the commissioners. "One
step in this direction would be the
enactment of workmen's compensi'-
tion law based upon the principles
of right and justice to wage earnets
and those who EMPLOY them.
''Under the present statutory condi-
tions, when an accident occurs II
nine cases out of ten the victim Is
thrown upon his own resources. "lti
., workable compensation law, pro.
perlv enforced, no matter who is II
blame in the matter of an accident, tn,
laborer would be protected during tho
period of disability. The employei
would insure himself against accident'
by the introduction of devices to nre
vent them.
"He would face a new kind OF taxa
ton, species which it would be law
lful for him to evade, for he coul'
evade the tax on accidents by pre-
venting the accidents. His claim agen
would Ee converted into safety eA
pert, whose activitie- would be large
llv confined to the installation of pro
per safeguards rather than In secu-
ing releases from injured empioye
due oftentimes TO defective machinery
"Wo, kmen's CONDENSATION intro
|duces the idea not Of making the EN-
ployer pettv criminal, but slmpi
making him a taxpayer and glvln
him an option of getting rid OF n;
tax by preventing accidents. He woui

thirteen thunderbaltls in the other.
On his breast is shield bearing

thers and it takes thirteen letters TO

There are thirteen letters in John
Paul Jones, name.
| There were thirteen eships in the
first American navy.
Perry's victory. on Lake Erie was
won on the thirteenth of the month
The stars and stripes were raised
over Fort Sumter on the thirteenth

| Gen. Pershin~ arrived in France on

CHRISTMAS CHECKS
FOR COTTON CROPS

Raleigh, Dec. 14,-The first hatch
of "Christmas checks" from the North
Carolina Cotton Growers Cooperative
Association are due to go out Satur-
day. These checks will represent a
second advance Of $Z5 on each bale
of cotton delivered to the Association
up to December 1st.
The last two weeks has been the
busiest that the Headquarters OF the:
Tar Heel cotton cooperative has had.
In addition to having to prepare for
sending out thousands Of checks to
growers of nearly a thousand bales
a day There has been considerable
llet-rn in deliveries since the close
of November it is stated, but re-
CENTS are still heavy.
The association Headquarters re-
port receipts to date of more than
125 coo bales on which advances to-
falling more than six million dollars
have already been made and on which
more than three million dollars Will
be advanced within the next few days.
The physical task Of handling thou,
!sands of accounts with members Will
prevent all checks from "oing out OF
December 18th, but they will begin
moving then and the various patches
} will follow each other in quick sue
cession. -,
1t is safe to say that there Will
be, no Christmas presents this year
that will be more gladly welcomed
than these advance checks.

to whom it had been addressed as
greeting to the council.
Declaring he wanted the government
to "do everything within reason and
sound procedure for the aid of the far
mers,' Mr.. Harding said he was "stll
more anxious that the farmers them
selves cooperate to make the govern
ment's effort doubly useful"
! 81 know no organization which cal
do more for agriculture than this one,
the letter added. s'Whoever has reas
my recent at address to congress vii
realize my desire to help the farme
through the present era Of depression
.sIn the long run government aid can
not be helpful unless the farmers ar
organized and ready to use practlca
agencies for their own relief. This as

most intelligent efforts to help them
selves"
