New Proposal
Being Studied
SAhte College Economist Antici-
Pafes Government Campaign
This Autumn

DR.. G. w. Foster, agricultural
economist at North Carolina State
college, said he anticipated that a
government campaign similar in
nature" to the cotton acreage re-
duction plan would be launched
this fall to cut production of aue
cured tobacco in this and other
states.
Forster, who has just returned
from Washington, where he spent
nine days with the tobacco section
of the agricultural adjustment ad-
ministrator working on a plan for
control of the fue cured tobacco
crop, said no officials information
was available at present.
"Thb plan as developed will
vary somewhat from cotton in that
it provides for payment based on
quality and yield in the past pc
riod,' Forster said. 1.-The price of
flue cured tobacco has not brought
a fair exchange in recent years,
and in 1892 was approximately
three and one half cents per pound
less than the fair exchange value
as defined in the Agricultural Ad-
justment Act.
"In order to bring the price of
tobacco to a parity" he continued,
1T will be necessary to formulate
a plan for the curtailment of the
1884 crop, and should a plan be
adopted, it will be necessary tc
take out of production from 90
900 to 100000 acres planted tc
fue cured tobacco.
ITO raise the necessary revenue
to take 10000 to 100000 acre,
out of cultivation, a tax of be-
tween three and four cents a pounc
would have to be levied on hut
cured tobacco domestically con-
sumed, which is approximately
230,0o0,oo pounds annually"
Forster said a three and one-hal1
cent tax a pound on domestic con.
sumption would yield approx
mately $S,oo0,o0o annually, ane
payments for an acre of tobacco
taken out of cultivation We;
vary with each individual farm.

New Deal
Boosting
Payrolls
Over 100000 Work
ers In Two Caro-
linas Benefit
SPEED

Over one million workers went
to their benches, machines and
shovels this week at increased
wages, and rens of thousands more
are slated to get their old Jobs
back, or new jobs, as a result of
President Roosevelt's drive for the
nations economic recovery.
1t is estimated by state officials
that more than 200 900 in the Two
Carolinas in the textile industry
alone will get a boost in their
payrolls, with an increase of ap-
proximately 100000 900 annually.
This industry's code providing
cooperation with the National In
dustrlal Recovery commission went
into effect at that hour under fed!
eral law. The code imposes a limit
of 40 hours of work for operatives
each week and 80 hours of opera
ton for productive machinery.
Elimination of employees under
sixteen years of age is required.
A minimum wage of S12 per
week for operatives in the south is
provided in this code, which, by
virtue of President Roosevelt's ap-
~proyal, has the force of federal
law.
Approximately 100000 900 per
year will be added to the income of
the cotton mill workers of North
Carolina and South Carolina, &C
cording to estimates prepared in
formally by cotton manufactured
here.
The probable average wage Of
employees of the mills heretofore
has been between $40 and $11 pei
week. The new scale, requiring
a proportionate diferential for EN-.
ployees heretofore earning NOR
than the s12 present minimum
will increase this average to ap.
proximately SIC per week.
Manufacturers throughout tn
South, according to reports OBJ
tanned from we'll informed Sails
bury men of this industry, ar
making studies with the view o
increasing the selling prices of thei
products to meet the added pro
duction costs growing out of tn
wage increases and the shorte
working hours. In recent month
many mills have worked 10 hour
per week but hereafter they Wi
work only 80 hours weekly. Tn
mills now begin at 6 A. M. an
the second shift goes to work a
2 P. M. The mills suspend opera
tons at 10 P. NJ, when workin
on a two-shift basis. In additio
to eliminating child labor, tn
newly adopted code also solves tn
controversial problem related t
night work by women, for tn
plants will not operate late in tn
night, though some women at leas
for the present will be employe
on the second shift, according t
reports obtained from numeror
executives of mills.
