RALEIGH, July 28.-The De-
partment of Labor will assist the
Corporation Commission in the
enforcement of it's new order
limiting the hours for drivers OF
trucks and buses in North Caro-
lima, Commissioner of Labor A.
l.. Fletcher said today. This new
order provides that no franchise
bus or truck carriers in the state
shall permit any driver to work
more than seven hours in one
stretch without rest period OF
at least one hour, and that no
drivers shall be permitted to oper-
ate a truck or bus more than Ia
hours iu any "a hour period. A
rest period of not less than nine
hours shall be allowed drivers at
the completion of every two
seven hour periods Of duty.
Since the Corporation Commits
sion does not have any inspectors
or field men to enforce its reg
ulations, it asked Commissioner
Fletcher if he would undertake to
enforce it, along with the other
state labor laws, and he agreed.
IL think it is just as much the
duty of the Department Of Labor
to enforce orders 1of this sort is
sued by other branches OF the

state government, as it is to en-
force the laws passed by the gen
eral assembly. AS a result. l
am issuing orders to all our in
spectors to include all bus and
truck operators in their regular
visits and to see that this order
is being properly observed. They
will also be instructed to talk to
truck and bus drivers and ask
their cooperation in reporting any
violations"
Between LILO and 1900 truck
and buses come under this or
der, according to r. o. Self, ex-
ecutive secretary of the Corpora
ton Commission. Most of the
bus companies observe regula-
tions similar to these and do not
stretch without at least one hour
of rest in between runs, Self
said. But many of the truck
operators have been requiring
their drivers to work excessively
long hours. This order is ex-
pected to stop this practice. Il
"This order is a big step in
the right direction" Commission
er Fletcher said. II know of a
large number of wrecks caused
by drivers going to sleep from
long hours on duty. This should
result in fewer accidents and
promote greater highway safety"

incognito at the resort. 1t was
pointed out that it would be an
easy matter for him to confer
secretly in the Auvergne noun

1t was pointed out. however,
that Baruch enjoys the conf
denee of President Roosevelt, al
though he holds no official post,
and therefore would be an ideal
person to negotiate with Russia
on the question of diplomatic
recognition.
In view of the indications at
Washington that recognition
probably would be accorded even
tually, it was believed that the
United States is eager to hasten
such action because both great
Britain and France are negotiat-
ing commercial treaties with the

WASHINGTON, July %. CUP
Business men by the thousands
rallied today to President Roose-
velt's call for higher wages and
more jobs.
Postmen are delivering letters
and pledge cards to five million
heads of American concerns eX-
planning the NRA.
The response to the presidents
letter is so overwhelming that no
accurate check of joiners was
available Immediately.
President Roosevelt's campaign
to raise wages and reduce hours
started off triumphantly yesterday
as employers, led by clamoring
and excited crowd in San Fran
cisco hurried to sign the blanket
code.
Simultaneously a complicated
problem arose here in interpreta-
ten of the voluntary agreement,
revolving chiefly about whether it
supersedes existing contracts with
labor unions.
Between 100000 and 4,000,-
600 union labor employees are af-
fected. After toiling all day, three
officials of the recovery admins
tration still had not perfected
their Interpretation of section Z"
of the blanket code.
Under this section, employers
bind themselves mot to reduce
the compensation for employment
now in excess of the minimum
wages hereby agreed to (notwlth-
standing that the hours worked lii
such employment may be hereby
reduced) and to increase the pay
for such employment by an
equitable readjustment of all pay
schedules"
The question arises as to
whether employers should reopen
existing contracts and adjust them
to the voluntary code or whether
contracts are exempt.
President William Green of the
American Federation Of Labor,
insists that employers must pay
the same wage for the 35-hour
schedule that they pay now for
longer hours regardless Of pres
ent contracts. He visited the COM
merce department today as the
three officials tackled this delicate
issue.

State Farmers Ask Whole
Influence Of State
Against Its Return

RALEIGH. July 28.-The ma
tional administration was COM
mended for efforts to establish
pre-war parity of prices for agri-
cultural products. the tax relief
measures of the 1888 general as
sembly were endorsed and its OPP
position to the open saloon for
North Carolina were expressed as
policies of the North Carolina
State Farmers convention here
last night when, in a business Ses-
sion attendant upon the 3lst an
nual gathering of the Organiza-
ton Is resolutions were adopted
by that body.
Acting in the matter of farm
product price levels, the conyen-
tons resolution pointed out that
since only -1S per cent of the
wheat grown in this state is eX-
ported, it was asking that there
be no discrimination against cot
ton and tobacco which are the
more widely exported of state
crops.
The eight-months school term,
supported by state revenues was
given approval, but the fear was
expressed in resolutions that the
schools could not be operated eff
ficiently or the health of the chill
dren safeguarded on the low sal
airy schedule and small allowances
being provided for fuel and incl
dental expenses.
A position was tqken strongly
urging that a salary for teachers
in line with their training and eX-
perience be provided in this state.

resolution took cognizance of the
fact that taking sides in a matter
