"Panting With Excitement"
.ByNina Wilcox Putnam

any chances on not being recognized from the
back view. Small danger, however Of anybody
wanting to recognize their grandmother in a
rig like that, from any angle. But Grandma
claims she was started out in life wearing
pantalettes and she sees no reason for not
shaking leg along with the rest Of the girls.
Our laundress come to work Monday-at least
she calls it Woodworking her husbands pants.
And she told me where this new trousers style
had proved a great blessing to her on account
her husband laid around home all the time
and didn't really need the pants so she was
using 'em instead of buying herself Spring
dress. Also she pointed out it was now practi-
cally impossible for him to continue alibing
himself for not working by going out and
bringing her home new washings.
One of the great conveniences in having
a man around the house these days is that
practically any married woman can be In style
without spending penny. And understand
that the sale Of two-pants suits to married
men has increased q hundred per cent this
Spring. In fact, the only married woman in
our neighborhood who has been out of luck in
this respect Is Mrs. Angus Jock Mcpherson,
and her husband come recently fra tn bonnie
ault Highlands and still wears q kilt.
On the side of disadvantages is a story Mrs.
husbands pants while he was still asleep went
through his pockets and took $810 she found
there, only to discover later it was her own
pants she'd robbed. While another time friend
Hubby went of to the city wearing her pants
and in the pockets was his wages he'd given
her the night before.
And pants are only the half Of it, if you
know what mean. The shirts and ties of
many a family have become community prop
erty. Just imagine the feelings of man who
meets his wife downtown wearing his favorite
tie? I know Aunty Bellum used Uncle Useless
S. Grant-Jones' favorite old tie for weeks,
leaving him nothing but the new pink satin
brocade tie she gave him for Christmas, and
the women thought she making sacrifice
and so she was-a human sacrifice, I'm
telling you, for seen that gift tiel

- PEAKING Of who wears the pants In
your family how has all this stuff In
the newspapers about pajamas by any
other name being just as sweet af-
j fected your household? Up to our
place the woman folks are painting like
a pack Of dogs on hot day. The race Is to
see who can look the worst in pants the
quickest.
The other morning went to the front door,
looked down the road, and then yelled Tor
Junior to come quick, the circus was In town.
But on second look I found out that what I
had taken to be retreating elephant was
merely Aunt Eata strolling toward the village
tn her new gray oxford slacks Aunty Is one
of the few living women who Is able to have
. group-photo taken all by herself. In order
to get her slacks she had to buy four pairs Of
pants and put EN- together and the outft
makes her look real boyish
Sister Anne has had terrible time deciding
between the long and short Of the pants Ques-
tion, and she decided to sell short mean buy
short. What I really mean Is she come down
to breakfast yesterday In what first thought
was Pas Summer underwear, but which Sister
Anne allibied as q bicycle suit Well, she'll
never wear the knees OF the pants out because
they are out already. And when I called her
attention to the fact that she amt got q
bicycle she answered me that these hah-por-
ton. demi-tasse suits was also called play
suits" As all Sister Anne plays Is the radio,
I can't see why she couldn't play 1t just as
easy in my old quilted bathrobe
Even Grandma has been affected by the
pants craze, and affected" Is the right word.
Darned If she didn't go up to the attic the
other day, rummage in ner old trunks" and
come down wearing q pair Of overals she
claimed she used to don when pioneering in the
beer industry, way back in the early days, when
beer was illegal and you had to wear an ashes

crock in the back kitchen. believe Grandma

immigrants, there Is not much doubt as
to how the people would divide. Those
who want cheap labor in order to in
crease their profits would vote against
restriction. Those who want to see un-
employment reduced and wages raised
would vote for restriction. The same
division would occur on the subject of
restriction of Mexican, West Indian or
Canadian immigration. The restriction
lists always outnumber the anti-restric-
tionists, but the anti-reStrictionists are
very influential and thus far have sue
ceeded in blocking restrictive legislation.
They know what they want, while the
workers are misled into thinking that
their salvation lies in other fields.
MAYHEM the question Of Chinese immi-
w grafton was acute on the Pacific
Coast, the workers, including the work
ing farmers, were for exclusion; the en-
ploying classes were against it. The
workers eventually won. When the
question of Japanese immigration was
uppermost, the same division showed
itself, and the same result followed. The
large employers Of the East uniformly
opposed the restriction Of European
immigration; the workers were for re-
striction, and the workers won after
long struggle It remains to be seen
who will win in the next struggle.
The menace of cheap labor is not only
an economic menace, it Is also social
menace It tends to widen the gap be-
tween classes. It was slave labor which
widened the gap between the slave-hold-
ing aristocracy and the working farmers
OF the old South Slave labor enriched
the one class and impoverished the other.
It enriched the one class by reducing
the cost of growing cotton and other
crops. It impoverished the other class
by forcing them to sell their crops in
competition with those produced by
cheap labor. It was not the fact that
the labor was black or slave, but the fact
that it was cheap that enabled it to en-
rich one class and impoverish the other.
Because slave labor was cheap it was
impossible for white man who had to
compete with it to avoid being poor. He
must have felt embittered to see his
wealthy neighbor growing rich on the
very thing which was impoverishing him.
That would, sooner or later, have pro-
duced an upheavel.
It is mistake to assume that the So
called poor whites" of the old South
were of a different race or stock from
the old aristocracy. They were of the
same race and stock. They were simply
not ina position to take advantage Of
the cheap labor of slaves. They had
to compete with it. No man of any
race or stock could sell his labor or the
products of his labor in competition
with that of such cheap labor and avoid

them of their problem Of unemployment,
which is chronic. They will come In
large numbers are soon as we can pro-
vide them with jobs. In providing them
with Jobs, we shall be depriving some OF
our own people Of an opportunity to
earn living.
THE prospects are not bright for the
American manual laborer. He has
not much to which to look forward to
compensate him for the hardships of the
present. That is, he will not have If he
continues to vote for anti-reStriction1St
in Congress- If he continues to vote for
anti-restrictionists who succeed in block
ing all attempts to restrict immigration
from the Western Hemisphere and the
Philippines, he will be voting for low
wages or unemployment for himself.
When he finds that these millions OF
cheap immigrant laborers are depressing
his wages or causing his continued un-
employment, he will have the consola-
ton, if it is consolation, Of knowing
that he is getting precisely what he
voted for.
It is not too late to remedy this stu
alton. Before good times return, before
a rising tide of immigration sets in to
fill the new jobs when they exist, the
quota system of controlling immigration
can be extended to the Western Hemi-
sphere, and Filipinos can be excluded
as other Asiatic immigrants are now ex-
cluded. If this is done, the American
working man will have something to
look forward to. AS employment in
creases, he will gain something to help
compensate him for these lean years.
BY American workers we mean all
those who are now here. Whether they
were born abroad or have lived here for
seven generations, the fact that they are
here and a part Of our people makes
them American workers. Restriction Of
immigration from the Philippines and
the Western Hemisphere is as much In
the interest Of our foreign born as Of our
native born workers. Yet Congress has
not lifted its finger to ward of the
menace of cheap labor from these
sources. There have been many patriotic
Congressman who have struggled long
and hard for this kind Of restriction.
Their efforts have been successfully
blocked by those who are interested In
cheap labor, which means poverty for
the masses.
It is said that I'VE" need plenty Of
cheap immigrant labor. Who are "we?"
Certainly American wage workers do not
need more cheap immigrant laborers to
compete with themselves, lower their
wages and take their jobs. I'VE" who
need" immigrant labor are the employ
ing classes and not the employed classes.

on the question Of restricting Filipino

Fishermen Suggest Plan
Acknowledging the Chambers
inquiry relative to their position
on recommendation for next sea-
sons halibut regulations, the Deep
Sea Fishermen's Union of Prince
Rupert wrote that no program had
yet been drawn up by its members.
1t suggested that each community
adopt the plan best suited to local
conditions and submit them to. each
other for consideration. In this
way, it was added, some general
agreement might be reached for a
program to recommend to the. In
ternaticnal Fisheries Commission.
The Prince Rupert organization
urged that American interests re-
port, under the NRA provisions,
any cold storages that deliberately
hold fish in their storage as a
means of boosting prices. Storages,
it was admitted, ought to have 2

said. At present there is only one

He emphasized the work that
the schools are undertaking in
physical education From the sixth
grade through the high school,
work in that subject is available
for every pupil under the direction
of specialists. In addition, the
program calls for instruction of
pupils below the sixth grade under
the direction of the room teachers.
These. Supt. Raven said later, are
being given special instructions by
the teachers in charge of physical

ALL AMERICA has felt the effects of the
N NRA. In most places there is very SUBJ
stantial progress But the "R" in NRA
will have to stand for Reconstruction, Reforma-
don, Restoration and Revival as well as Recovery
to prove real success. And from the way
people are responding to President Roosevelt
there is little doubt that they can take of as
simple thing as that one letter in the alphabet
The South is responding slowly but definitely
to the New Deal. In parts of the South pros
perity is not far away.
North Carolina has found the new program
decidedly helpful Increased business and wages
and shorter hours have added 1748 people and
IN annual $1,555, 900 to payrolls in Ashevlle and
vicinity, one industrial plant alone adding 600
persons mainly through increased business.
North Carolina will get $5O,O0O,OOO from the
Federal Fund for Public Works, which will pay
future dividends. $3,OOO,OOO is for the highway
program, IS per cent of which will be spent for
labor: Several millions will establish Smokey
Mountain National Park, 26 miles west Of Ashe-
vile, which is expected to become the Yellow
stone Of the East.
The smaller communities of North Carolina
have not suffered as much as the larger ones be-
cause they were accustomed to living on produce
from farms.
RY FAR the most extensive work to be carried
~ on in thiB part of the South is the Tennessee
Valley project. This is in charge Of the Ten
HeSSee Valley Authority, body created by Con-
gress for the economic and social development
Of the Tennessee River drainage basin, which has
$50, 100000 to spend on the development.
The objectives are broad and comprehensive,
including very new deal for the inhabitants of
the Tennessee River Basin. These will include
improvements of agriculture, proper utilization
Of marginal lands, the coordination of agricul-
ture and industry and the development of domes-
tic industries, production of cheap fertilizers,
opening of the Tennessee River to navigation,
flood control, promotion of reforestation and re-
