CHARLOTTE, N. c., Sept. IS
uN.S0.-The New Deal has
aggravated to a serious extent
the South's oldest problem-the
negro.
When the cotton and textile
and tobacco codes were approved
by the President late in July,
they were hailed throughout the
country as a decisive blow
against child labor and marking
o new era Of prosperity for the
South.
Unfortunately, all such broad
statements must in time be quail
fled by the realities. Down this
way they are admitting-the
planters of cotton and tobacco,
the employers of labor and the
employees on the farm and in the
mills-that to some extent some
thing approaching an agricultural
and industrial Utopia is in the
offing.
A Serious "But"
Indeed, the sociological minded
are asking what effect this
greatly increased flow of money
into the pockets Of the average
worker will have on the COM
munity.
They say the reduction of hours
and the increase in wages of Sc
and 81 weekly to twice those
sums will stimulate undreamed- of
prosperity.
Yet a serious BUT" hangs
over all this. There are grave
currents Of unrest and apprehen-
soan abroad in the rolling hills
and valleys of the Carolinas. It
all resolves itself into the phrase,
"racial competition.
Until the new codes became
effective here more than month
ago. The great bulk of workers
in the fields and in the mills
consisted of negroes. They were
satisfied with their wages of Sc
and 81 a week, even though they
had to work SIS hours a week.
The white man disdained such
conditions.
Negroes Affected
Then came the new codes and
the white man sat up. If he
could get $13 for a maximum of
40 hours, instead of Sc or 81 for
q minimum 55-hour week, then
he wanted the job. So the white
men swarmed into the fields and
the mills demanding-and get
tlng-jobs. That meant, of course,
that the negro found himself, for
the first time in years, out in the
cold.
OF course, the New Deal came
as blessing to the white man.
Years before he had been a vir-
tual serf in the textile mills. He
sweated from morning until night
for paltry wage. His home was
heavily mortgaged and he was
never out of debt.
Now-and this is a visible sign
OF what the New Deal is doing
down here-the white man no
longer regards himself as serf
to the mill owners. He is once

monthly salary paid DR.. Clyde l..
King, one-time milk industry ar
bitrator in this area, had been
paid by the association.
Charges Price Boost
Whiteford charged that the as
Sociation had boosted the price
of milk so much that the farm
ers increased their herds in the
belief they would make a large
profit. This resulted, he said,
in a surplus of milk.
John Magill, jr., secretary

FIRST LADY HITS
PRICE FIXING

Opposition to price-fixing un-
der the NRA codes was voiced
today by Mrs. Roosevelt as a
means of effecting stabilization
of prices.
Mrs. Roosevelt said the only
way to make the operation Of
the codes successful is make the
public learn to protect itself"
The whole national industry
recovery drive, she said, depends
entirely on the consumer and
only if he sets himself to prevent
illegitimate increases in commod-
ity prices can the plan succeed.
She said that out of the de-
preston and the present drive to
end it is emerging an Intangible
change in values, new philoso-
ply of life, and a growing feeling
of brotherhood"
The First Lady continued with
the assertion that the drive to
end the financial crisis is
awakening a wider national
knowledge" and expressed the
hope that ultimately it would
awaken a wider international
knowledge"

Of the Kidnapers' Auto

CHICAGO, Aug. 16 (I.N.S.).
A threat of death to John

and a wild dash into southern
Wisconsin by a posse Of SO
heavily armed officers today
followed the sensation man
hunt of yesterday when $50
policemen failed to catch two
kidnapers of Factor.
The expedition was reported to
have been undertaken at the re-
quest of the Federal Government

The fiasco of yesterday was a
curious upset of well-laid plans to
nab the collectors of the ransom

While two airplanes zoomed
overhead and 81 squads Of Off

area of La Grange, the two kid
napers took a package of $500
in marked bills from two police
men disguised as a messenger
boy and a taxicab driver. The
money was to have been the
final instalment of $55,000 for
Factors release. The promoter
previously had paid $4,000 to
gain his freedom.
