LABOR AND THE RECOVERY PROGRAM

The executive council of the American Fedora
ton of Labor is digging into the ribs of the re-
covery program.
. You would probably conclude that if there is
any given minority in America that would toss
its hat into the air over the Presidents efforts to
get his countrymen out of the swamps, it would
be the body of our laborng people.
And, perhaps, the majority body of labor is of
that mind. There are some chieftains in organ
lied ranks however, who are not willing to con-
cede the President has been instrumental in doing
what they think ought to be done for their cause
1t has been remarked for some time that lead
ers of the organized labor movement We're not
over-zealous for the President and that they would
turn their guns against him in the political cam.
paign. In fact, the Republicans have been expect
ing the accreton of this influence to their ranks
There may be something in the explanation Of
this rather strange course to the suggestion that
these labor leaders the possibility of the re-
covery program working such ideal changes in the
status of the American workingman that it will
accomplish what the labor movement itself has
striven for. Therefore, the atter's usefulness will
have been thus partly nuHifed; certainly limited

Editor The Times-News:
Just a few suggestions to help
our next tourist season to be
even more successful than the
one just ending.
The first one is that our city
officials increase the number of
green benches on Main street.
Those benches have been men,
toned as one outstanding advan-
tage that Hendersonville has over
| Ashevillc, as tourist center.
One city in Florida places a num-
Der of such seats at right angles
to the street in front of business
houses. The business men pro-
vide the seats because they in
crease sales. Let Hendersonville
double the number of green
! benches.
! The next suggestion is that
| the city council pass law pro-
/ hibiting the grazing of cows be-
yond a certain limit within the
city. The curb market is visited
by more people than any other
place in the city. This market
lis constantly surrounded by graz,
ing cattle. Thus paths and side,
walks are made insanitary. Be-
sides these cows smetimes break
loose and destroy gardens.
Then too it would be a goot
thing if something could be done
to lessen the number Of stra!
dogs that overturn garbage can
and disturb sleepers with thel
unnecessary noise. Stray dog
and cats constitute nuisance
that visitors should not have t.
tolerate.
The splendid entertainment
given during the last season call
ed for much favorable comment
Any Improvement in the enter
tainment program will prove t
be an asset to the city. Peopl
like to visit town that is file
with friendly folks. Let us in
crease the number Of our get-tc
| gether meetings.
Then we should not ovcrloo
the fact that the pastors Of OF
churches are an asset to OF
town. During the tourist seaso
our churches are filled with PEI
pie who thoroughly enjoy til
kind of messages that our cal
able pastors are able to delivc
A city needs good churches {
well as good Fairgrounds.

A THEORIST SURRENDERS TO
PRACTICAL POLITICS ta',
(Bv BRUCE CATION


The ideahst is apt to be quite radical
as long as he stays on top of his mountain
peak and surveys the promised land from
distance. l~S 49,. ...--
Get him down off the mountain, take
him over Jordan and convince him that he
really is in line to occupy the palace, how
ever, and he is pretty likely to calm down
and get more or less tame. .:.,- "@-'
A case in point is being provided these
days by Upton Sinclair, Caiifornia's we'll
known Chamber of Commerce frightener.
During the primary campaign Mr.. Sir
clair expouRded his far-reaching Epic
plan. Persons over 60 would be pensioned ;
the state sales tax would be repealed, and
homes and business properties worth less
than $4,000 would pay no taxes; a vast
chain of communal farms would be estab-
lished, and the state would buy and OPP
crate many factories.
The primary election came and when
the smoke cleared Mr.. Sinclair Was,found
mounted on his charger with the nomina-
ton firmly in his hand, while his recent
opponents fled to the foothills.
In the days that have ensued-accord-
ing to correspondence in the New York
Times--Mr. Sinclair has grown milder.
First he went to Hyde Park and ehatted
with Mr. Roosevelt. Then he went to
Washington and talked with Messrs. Far
ley, Hopkins, and others. Then he went
back to California and talked with such
state Democratic leaders as George Creel
who ran against him in the primary. i
And now it is reported that his epic
plan is being pruned down to fit the knobs
and curves of political actualities.
Phe pension plan is said to be gone
Real estate tax exemptions will be granted
only to homes and properties assessed at
less than $1,000. The sales tax may not be
repealed. The cemmunal-farms project is
being scaled down. The state-ewned fac
tories plan is undergoing a sea change
that leaves it looking remarkably like the
scheme ALREADY. adopted in other parts OF
the country under FERA auspices. a
In other words, Mr.. Sinclair has ceased
to be a radical and has become1a liberal
AS result, his chances of being Cali

enhanced. And, as another result, we get

NEWSPAPERS OPINION
OUR INDUSTRIAL STRIFE

| We herewith take it upon ourselves to express
an opinion about industrial strikes, especially IN
relation to our own Southern States economic
structure.
Involved in these strikes are two large classes
| Of southern men and women: the employer and
the employee. Ninety-eght per cent or more OF
our southern population is American born citizen
ship with its lineage reaching back into the souths
earliest history, which means American history.
Both classes have proven their outstanding loyalty
to their country Both classes have proven their
outstanding loyalty to each other during the years
Of stress brought about by the nations economic
disaster.
What then is the cause of the trouble between
these two classes? 1t can be expressed In two
words-outside interference. And this outside IN
reference applies to both classes. The only pos
sble reason for the of this outside inter
ference causing US 50 much trouble, is our own I'M
denable failure to manage our own affairs based
on the south's own economic structure, which I'M
deniably has advantages for both employer and
employee that cannot be set aside by outside in
reference under the libel of "cheap southern la
Dor"
When we analyze the problem, we find that
southern labor is being goaded into strikes-7of
which they are the main suHerers-by outside
strike promoters living on the fat of the land,
financed in 4 great measure from the pay en-
velopes of the southern worker. On the other
hand, the southern employer for the most part be-
longs to organizations presumed to watch out for
his interests, and these organizations managed
chiefly by northern employers and merchandsers
whose interests dramatically opposed to those
of the southern employer These outside employer
organizations are financed in the main by the
southern employer. Now pick up your daily pa
pers, and you will find therein continually, charges
against southern employer, by both the outside
labor organizations and employer organizations
acting in unison, of employing cheap southern
labor
Is it not about time that both the southern en-
ployer and our own American born southern
employees established their own southern or
CARNATIONS, which once done, would undoubtedly
lead to definite solution of their problems? Ger
tainly the incubus of outside interference with
southern employers and employees must definitely
be removed before any hope of establishing our
own southern economic structure on a permanent
basis can be expected
Our southern labor is not only self-respecting
and proud of the work it performs but to continu-
OuSly refer to it as "cheap southern labor is a
deliberate, insult used for the express purpose of
bringing about trouble which it must be admitted
has proved successful but disastrous to all con-
