UNRESTRICTED
SALE OF BEER
LOOMING NOW
House Won't Pass Senate
Bill This Week, Belief
in Raleigh
INQUIRIES FLOOD
DEPT. OF REVENUE
By HENRY LESESNE
The Times News Bureau
Sir Walter Hotel

RALEIGH, April 25.-It has
taken the senate, which is inclined
to get through with Il job quicker
than the house, a week to put a
beer machinery bill through three
readings. The bill now goes to the
lower branch &C the assembly,
where mighty quick action is re-
quired if any restrictions at all
are thrown around the sale of 81
per cent beer which legally goes
on sale in North Carolina at one
minute after midnight. April 30.
The house can do one Of several
things with the beer bill. 1t can
place it upon its calendar for lm-
mediate passage, which would re
quire three days before it could
be law. Or it could send the bill
to its judiciary committee, whi:n
for a week or more has been work
ing on q separate beer machinery
bill. In this event there would D"
Mt least several days more of de-
lay. Even if the house considers
the senate bill. in preference TO a
committee substitute. there are
bound to be some amendments,
which will neceSsitate the measure
being sent back to the upper
branch for concurrence.
So, whatever course the house
pursues, it is now extremely
doubtful that any sort of beer
regulation will have been passed
bv the time beer goes on sale IN
North Carolina. A substantial
part of public opinion, and a few
members of the legislature, hold
that this would be just as well.
This group holds that there should
be no strings on the sale OF beer
that might be manipulated by
peanut politicians. They believe
that since 30 per cent beer IS non
intoxicating it should be sold ~
freely as soda pop or popcorn, a.
II is now being sold in South Car
DINA, where no restrictions at All
were placed on its sale.
However. it is certain that tn
legislature will enact a regulatory
bin requiring a license to sell beer,
permitting the state, counties ana
municipalities to get a whack a.
the license fees, despite the TACT
that the state levies what amounts
10 a so-called luxury tax on beer
and wine. In the event the house
masses the senate bill without re
ferring it to a committee, and
without lacking on any mend
ments, the bill could not be ratl-
fed until Thursday of this week;
This would give the retailers ana
others only about two days IN
which to obtain a license.
IF the house makes such quick
DISPOSAL of the beer machinery
act, however. it will be one of the
biggest surprises a the present
session. There will be an attempt
to rush the beer regulatory meas
ure through the lower house I'M
der a suspension of rules, since
the department of revenue has for
DAYS been flooded with cOmmunt-
cations inquiring about license
fees, and has been unable to an
swer them because the Legislature
has not enacted a machinery bill.
However. quite a few of the house
members who want to rush the
legislation through have some pet
ideas of their own that they would
like to tack on to the bill and It
any of these are accepted by the
house, more delay will result.

 Fortunately, in most of the smaller communities and in the lesser schools there is still to be found wholesome athletic ac- tivity, in which friendly rivalry and real sportsmanship are the Iule. But the events which draw the crowds and fill the sport pages are marked by bit terness and frequently result n long-standing feuds.
 So long as the public de- mands this sort of thing it will no doubt be supplied. But why call it sport?

Why Call It Sport?

An interesting phenomenon in American life is the amazing seriousness with which we take our so-called sports. This ser iousness is reflected in the sporting sections of the daily newspapers, which play up the activities of athletes to an extent bordering on the ridicu- lous.
 Originated as friendly games for the exercise and recreation they afford, baseball, football and other pastimes have de- generated into grim struggles for notoriety and gate receipts.

Legislative Rubbish

One of the crying needs of the present day is the search ing out and repeating of the useless, unenforcable and un- necessary legislative rubbish, !" according to M. J. Hickey, sec retary of the National Indust- rial Council.
 At a conference held recently in New York, the Council pledged itself to labor for the simplification and qualification of really useful and necessary laws, which are now buried or obscured throughout our law books by a mass of obsolete or unnecessary enactments.
 Mir. Hickey declared that there are now about 2,500,000 separately enacted laws and ordinances on the books of the various states. More than 10,- 900 more will be enacted dur ing 1883.
 It is his belief, and most citi- zens will concur in his view, that too many of our lawmak- CTS conceive it to be their duty to make misdemeanors cut of trivial actions, putting absurd restrictions on freedom, bur- dening innocent people with undeserved punishments and otherwise loading the state books with unnecessary laws.
 When we reflect that most of these useless laws not only har- ass the public but cost them handsomely in one way and an- other, it must be the inevitable conclusion that MT. Hickey's point is we'll taken.

Turkish Exile Warns
of Fascist War Plans
Against Soviet Union

NEW YORK.--A militant Turkish
worker, eXiled from that country for
his active participation in working
class struggles, writes a letter to the
Daily Worker in which he points out
that the capitalist government of
Turkey has carried on vicious
attack against the workers and peas
ants, and the Communist Party has
been declared illegal. Recalling earlier
attack on the workers, the letter de-
seribes the railroad strike of 1925, in
which the workers won rs per cent
increase in wages after a three-week
strike.
Although the workers fought
against a terrible speed-up system
and daily wage of 80 to 40 cents
in American money, the government
initiated a vicious terror against the
strikers, arresting seven of the lead
ers.
A series of attacks carried out by
the government in the strikes OF the
year 1929, in which many workers
we're arrested and imprisoned on
long sentences, eliminated in the
attack on the Communist Party in
December, 1882, when seventeen
members of the Party, including two
women, and two members OF the
Central Committee, were taken pris-
oners.
The letter calls upon the U. S.
workers TO support their Turkish
brothers.

TENN. ROAD WORKER
FRAMED BY FOREMAN

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. - This
town has about 10000 jobless and
about 10000 get IS cents a week in
groceries. The rest get nothing. If
you open your mouth, you are called
a Red and thrown into jail and put
on the road gang. The police are
trying to find the Reds working for
the r. F. G.
When we wait for the county truck,
the police will not let more than
five stand together. They say they
don't want no damn Red to get us
all together, and start trouble. The
road foreman found Daily Worker
on the job and called us all to-
gether. He said if he didn't find
the man who brought it, he would
turn us all out and take away our
cards. One worker went up to him
and said he would punch him in the
nose. The foreman didn't say any
more and when we went in this man
was arrested. The next day the
foreman told us this was the man
the job. The worker was framed up,
he didn't bring the paper. We would
brought 1t out there. We would
like to get his man out SO please
print this in the Daily and some
points on how to organize.-C. u. w.
Editors Note.-This worker should
send in his name and the gang he
was working ON SO that we can COM
municate with the Chattanooga IN
ternational Labor Defense and start
a campaign against the terrorizing
of relief workers. This worker should
try, until he hears from us after
sending his name, to organize the
workers in his gang by talking to
them and getting them willing to
fight against the police spies and
prosecutions of the foreman. Talk
to them and decide on an issue that
all of them are ready to fight over
and then get in touch with other
gangs and elect committee repre-
senting all of them and make the de-
mands upon the officials but have
the workers there to back up the
committee,
