NEWSPAPERS OPINIONS
NEW HIGHWAY SAFETY PLAN

Thirty-fve states will conduct highway safety
campaigns in September. 1t is believed that past
campaigns have resulted in cutting down highway
accidents, and it is expected that the campaign
this wear may prove even more helpful.
A UNIQUE suggestion comes from Connecticut
where the head of the motor vehicle commission
calls on the motor public to form voluntary
motor patro' The commissioner says:'"Every op~
orator on the highway, because his own safety and
life are involved, should take upon himself the bur-
den of policing the other fellow. You will not be
Inconvenience you will not be under obligation
to report in person or to be present at hearing.
Simply make report of attractions and the oe-
partment will follow up the case"
This is something new in the education of motor
lists 1t seems as though the traffic laws and police
enforcement have failed to prevent the annual har
vest of death on the highways and perhaps sane
drivers may do what law and police patrols cannot
do.
Perhaps the careless, reckless or drunken driver
may be impressed when he receives visit from a
highway official or patrolman who hands him a
slip of paper and summons him to hearing to be
told that on certain day. at certain hour and at
a certain point on the highways he was menace
to the life of others and that they have filed re-
port of the incident. Having been given that IN
formation, the suggestion would be made that he
be more careful in future and warning issued
that similar reports will put him persona non grata
with the department and that repetition of such
reports may lead to the placing of an officer on his
trail to watch for future violations.
The theory of the Connecticut commissioner
seems to be that the cure for dangerous driving
must be found by the drivers Themselves sort
of Observation-Disclosures" treatment in which there
is much merit-Spartanburg Herald.

THIS WILL. GET RESULTS

If Secretary of Agriculture Wallace carries out
his plans to reduce the cotton acreage to 25,O0O-
900 acres next year the world will see much higher
cotton before the first of July, 1884.
With an average yield of IT'S pounds of lint to
the acre the crop would total little more than
six million bales. However, the increase in the
use of fertilizer and intensive cultivation would
add about 100000 bales to a normal crop and
we could count on crop of at least 100000
bales. '" '
This brings us back to the old question which
has been argued time and again that small crop
at high prices will give the producer more net
profit than large crop at low prices. An eight
million bale crop at 20 cents will turn out more net
profit than IL million bale crop at Is cents.
The gospel of reduced acreage and intensive cul-
tivation has been preached for years, but in the
meantime the policy has been to gradually increase
the acreage and cultivate it indferently The re-
suit has been high yields in good cotton years until
last July the carry-over reached the enormous to-
tai of 100000 bales. .....
The Wallace plan, if adopted, will achieve in a
collective sense what the farmer has been desiring
individually all these years but unable to do
without the cooperation of his fellow farmers.
The moment the adoption of the plan is an
nounced the price of raw cotton and cotton goods
is likely to take substantial advance-The Dillon

AN INTERNATIONAL SITUATION

One of those little incidents which make "inter-
national situations" occurred on Swiss territory
near a German city the other day. when three Ger
man policemen chased Czech citizen across the
border and dragged him back into German terri
tory for arrest.
Swiss border guards attempted to interfere, but
the Germans got their man. And the Swiss govern
ment has made protest.
The protest however is merely against the &C
ton of the German policemen who violated Swiss
territory by invading it three hundred feet.
Arrest of the Czech is matter of no concern to
Switzerland Probably he deserved it. The Ger
mans appear to be welcome to their possession now
they have got him.
But Switzerland wants the German policemen
punished for going even three hundred feet over
into that territory.
1t is not likely anything serious will come out Of
this little incident but it is the sort of thing that
keeps neighbor nations in turmoil when they are
disposed to make much ado about trifles.
On the other-hand, the action of the German
policemen the sort of thing that cannot safely
be allowed between nations. 1t bit of Hit
lersm gone wild and to allow it to go on uncurbed
would be to invite trouble on a greatly magnifed
scale.
Which makes an international situation and
calls for "strong representations" The Rock Hill

HARD EFFORT
MADE TO KEEP
NRA RULINGS
Most of Complaints Heard
in This State Are
Said Unfounded
The Times-News Bureau
Sir Walter Hotel

RALEIGH, Sept. 6.-More than
half of the complaints so far in
vestigated by the State Depart
ment of Labor, alleging violation
of the NRA codes or wage scales
have been found to be unwar-
ranted and due to miSunderstand-
ing of the codes or scales, accord
ing to Inspector L. L. Mallard
who for more than week has
been checking up on complaints.
"While we are finding some
plants and employers that evil
IDENTIFY are not trying very hard to
live up to the spirit Of their codes
and wage schedules, majority of
them are trying their best to OPP
crate in accordance with the codes
and to pay the proper wage
scale" Mallard said. MANY OF
these have come from employees
who are not affected by code or
wage agreement. but who have
not known this. Several COM
plants have come from odd JOB
workers for whom there is no min
imum wage or from plece-Work
employees. So on the whole, the
situation is not as bad as 1t looked
for a while"
While the new codes and wage
scales are proving a good thing
for the workers who are expert
enough to qualify under them,
they are working real hardship
on the older workers, according
to Mallard.
"Most of the textile mills have
a group of older workers between
60 and 70 years of age who have
been working for them for years,
but who are no longer able to
work as fast and turn out as
much work as formerly" Mallard
said. "Most of the mills put these

Observation-Disclosures Of the
NRA in the field privately re-
port latest reactions to The recov-
cry campaign which may be sum-
married as follows:
People generally: Glad to pitch
in, but dreading whGt may happen
if the program fails. Somewhat
inclined to take the show in} the
spirit of a circus parade, despite
their determination.
Business: Intensely interested
everywhere, but still fearful. A
substantial minority is found in
opposition or chiseling. The most
pronounced fear Of the majority is
that there won't be adequate en-
forcement and that chiselers will
be able to maintain unfair competi-
ton. Some fear that the program
is an entering wedge to an in
esCapable controlled society.
Labor: With certain exceptions,
slow to take advantage of its OPP
portunity to organize and allow
ing business men and industrial
lists to do all the planning.
VARIOUS employees of tEo in

when they heard that Secretary
Harold Ickes had been appointed

work in eight hours. This means,
of course, that some who need

ployed in their places. 1t is caus-

FARM WORKERS AND WAGES

The Monroe Enquirer reports that many
people in Union county refuse to work
They are so busy working" Uncle Sam
and North Carolina for relief" that they
can't find time to labor. The Enquirer also
speaks of the troubles of the farmers who
are having serious difficulties in rounding
up labor to harvest the crops. Farm labor
erS are harboring the delusion that NRA
provides an eight-hour day on the farms
with a wage that would amount to several
times what is commonly paid. This is q
mistake, of course, as farmers are not un-
der a code, but out in the Piedmont and
eastern sections of the State this fact does
not seem to be known.
This condition brings to public attention
the fact that hours of labor on farms are
long and the pay is short. There is no room
for argument on this point; but the answer
of land owners is that prices of farm prod
ucts the past several years have made it
impossible for farmers to pay higher wages
for labor: There is little room for argyll
ment ON that point also. Another reason
for low farm wages in the South is the in
efficiency of labor, and the tendency to
loaf on the job The service the average
farm laborer has rendered has not been
worth any more than he was paid. More
hard work and efficiency applied to their
jobs would enable farm laborers to make
their services worth more to their employ
ers, who might be disposed to pay higher
wages for first class help.
Farm work is seasonal employment
There are times when long hours of work
are necessary, and at other times work is
slack. 1t would be impossible to place
farmers under code such as is being ap-
piled to industry and business. They must
work as many hours as are necessary to
carry on their business. Where farm labor
is employed it must be on this basis; but
the road to Improvement for farm labor
.ers, who sell their services to land owners,
is that of increased efficiency. If they do
more and better work, they will earn more
money. Of course, there will be employers
who will decline to pay more, but the high
ly efficient farm laborer, like the man in
business or industry whose qualifications
are above the average, will be able to find
employers willing to pay above the aver
age wage for better than average service.
