THE BIG PROBLEM

That the 80 cents per day wage paid workers
on federal relief projects in and around Greens
boro is less than half enough to keep family OF
five going is quite evident, but does the worker
better his lot by striking for higher wage? Some
how we fail to see it from that angie, though the
relief worker who gets but 80 cents per day and
not over three days of work per week has an abun-
dance of reasons to register complaint.
There is here presented situation wherein it IS
not question of deciding between a right and
wrong but rather striking balance between two
rights Relief funds supplied by the federal gov
eminent are necessarily limited. The work re-
ouired of men sharing in the relief funds is not OF
an emergency character. 1t might just as well he
left undone or certainly postponed. But in order
to help the worker retain his self-respect and to
avoid an out and out DOLE he is asked to exchange
work for the relief given No one pretends that
the wage paid from relief funds is complete COM
pensation for eight hours work. The relief agency
is not operating an employment bureau in compe-
tition with other employers Of labor.
II seems to US, therefore that the strikers are
bit inconsistent when they refuse to accept the
best proposition the relief agency has to offer and
demand daily wage Of two dollars. If the funds
were available we have no doubt but that those IN
charge would gladly increase the compensation TO
two dollars or more per day.
Dealing fairly and adequately with the problems
of the unemployed is one of the greatest tasks OF
the day. 1t requires the wholehearted cooperation
and support Of the unemployed as we'll the en-
ployed national, state and local governments The
present method of meeting the situation is faulty
but until we can work out better plan the rehet
worker who quits Job paying 80 cents day adds
to his own misery. Eighty cents is small amount
but it is just that much more than nothing. We
hope way can be found to increase the pay but
those out of work. food clothing and shelter viii
not make the task easier by going on a strike

oLD-FASHIoNED VIEWPOINT

according to a Washington dispatch, the Ameri-
can Chemical Society was informed by two workers
of the National Research Council that they had
discovered synthetic method by which silk can be
made out of air.
Now, if these ingenious gentlemen will devise a
process whereby jobs for several million persons
in this country can be manufactured from the
ozone they will write themselves into the history
books as the greatest benefactors of the race.
Mr. Hoover tried it when he announced the
abolition of poverty two cars in every garage and
chicken in every pot. Only there must have been
something wrong with his formula. After great
deal of hocus-pocus the ingredients still remained
thin air.
The tech0ocrats (you may remember them) also
had a list of miracles by which machines were to
take over almost every human effort except child
bearing.
So the mind of man runs on ngeniously looking
for short cuts, cIeverly devised gadgets to eimi-
nate work and almost childishly hopeful that hui
man happiness can be fabricated in quantity pro-
ducton.
Meanwhile we suspect that such old-fashioned
things as tolerance charity and common honesty
still operate more to the advantage of mankind
than do all of the astonishing mechanstic theories
and devices of this troubled age.-The New Yorl;
World-Telegram.

COMING OF THE TOURISTS

The resort hotels in the wP"tern part of the
state are being put in order for the coming Of the

son of 1888 is going to have more money and the
transportation agencies are arranging the lowest
rates ever known, while the increased railroad trat-
fc will be augmented by the automobile all North
Carolina now being opened by the finest of good
roads"
As Indication that a heavy tourist business IS
assured for the season, we might instance the fact
that the past season in Florida, contrary to gen
eral opinion, was one of the best known in years
past, the increase ranging from 10 to 60 per cent
in many of the hotels. One company operating a
chain of five hotels reports an increase of SO per
cent in number of guests over the previous season.
For the first time since the real estate boom, one
big hotel at Miami was forced to send arriving
guests to other hotels, and some of the larger no
tells are being kept open during the summer, which
is something unusual. Our mountain resorts are
set for brisk business with the coming Of June

REAL FARM RELIEF

Electricity is a practical kind of farm relief
that makes every dollar do the work of two or three
on places where current has been introduced.
Tests reveal that the farmer and his family save
three months yearly by turning four farm tasks
over to electricity, according to the American
Washing Machine Manufacturers association.
Washing clothes by old methods requires more
than 1-2 months of eight-hour days year. 1t
SAYS. pumping and carrying water, turning the
cream separator and filling and cleaning kerosene
lamps each consumes 80 eght-hOur days year.
Passing to the electrical age on the farm does
more than give the farmer convenient, cheap pow
err for histass. 1t brings the home higher stand
ard of living by giving the family an abundance Of
clean clothes at all times, makes good appearance
a matter of easy accomplishment.
"Eighty-fve per cent of the farms still lack
electrical power. Of course many of these enjoy
the benefits of such advantages as gas engine-op-
Grated washers. To operate the farms the power

UNITED STATES OFF THE GOLD
STANDARD

Today the United States is off the gold
standard in international financial rela-
tons and in world trade and business. This
2ction was taken yesterday by President
Roosevelt. 1t is called faction for con-
trolled initiation by some Of the news
papers The Presidents action is general
" approved throughout the country. Wall
Street raises no objection. Initiation plan
is we'll received in Wall Street" morning
newspaper comments. J. P. Morgan eX-
presses approval of the Presidents inan-
cial policy.
The approval of Wall Street and the
money kings" will be the most disturbing
development to the average citizen; but
this fact can be discounted for around
ninety-nine per cent. Of its ordinary Signlti-
canoe, by reason of the fact that Wall
Street is probably thoroughly convinced Of
the fact that deflatiOn has run its course
as far as it can be safely allowed to go,
and further deflatiOn would prove as dis
astrous to the money changers as it would
to the masses of the country.
What the country has to expect from
this latest action of the President is more
or less sustained rise of commodity prices,
followed by increased activity in industry
and relief of unemployment. If it does not
bring about more business activity in this
country it will fail of its chief purpose; but
leading business men and economists are
anticipating that result However. this step
must undoubtedly be followed by interna-
tional adjustments and agreements for the
settlement of world problems and for the
promotion of world trade; and it must be
followed by reorganization of the finan-
cial system of this country.
The way back to normal and stable con-
ditions in this country and in the world is
long and tOilsome one, but the United
States seems to be headed in the right dl-
rectiOn.
