IMAGINABLE thousands Of millions
of dollars. One plan for winter
relief which is said to nave been
advanced by Relief Administrator
Harry Hopkins is reported to call
for payments of almost $l0,OOO,'
100000.
And the other plans are sim.
ilarly grandioSe on the matter OF
outpourings from the Federal
Treasury.
OF course, it is not contem-
plated to meet any such expendl'
turC as these from current reVe-
nues ~ therefore they might not,

taxation by the Congress which
meets in January.
But, it is pointed out, II these
plans, or any of them. are adopted,
the Government will have to begin
thinking about putting its tlnan-
cial house in order.
And that can't be done on the
Governments present income, it is

Borrowing Necessary
To obtain the funds necessary
to carry out the elaborate relief
and recovery plans now under way
that is, if they are to be carried
out by the Governmental will be
necessary for the Government to
borrow the money.
It isn't going to be able to bor-
row the money advantageously-
or possibly even at all-unleSs Con-
gress shows some willingness some
time to raise taxes, thus showing
the people generally that in the
end they are going to have to put
up the money that the Govern
ment is spending.
So that while members Of Con.
gress are saying that no tax legis-
lation will be necessary this year
although legislation bringing in
about $500, 100000 will have to be
reenacted-there is decided feel
ing of skepticism among those who
are watching the situation.
There is also to be considered
the fact that if Congress doesn't
raise taxes next year it will un.
questionably have to raise them
the following year. And that
would bring the increase on the
eve of a presidential election.
All things considered, it is more
likely that the increase will be
started on its way in the coming
session,

He's Veteran of Two
Great Strikes
Bv WILLIAM H. DOHERTY

Washington, June II. (CP)-Oscure
for Is years, little mild-mannered
man has become the major figure in
the storm raging within the giant steel
industry.
He is Michael T. Tighe, president of
the Amalgamated Association of Iron,
Steel and Tin Workers, the dominant
union in the steel industry.
He is in his seventies, he admits
without revealing his exact age. The
American abor Who's Who, whidG Ig
filled with lengthy biographies of
other labor leaders, contains nothing
more than his name and his Pitts
burgh address.
There is nothing about the gallant
fight he waged for three and one half
months in 1919 against the 12-hour
day. More than 10000 men went out
on strike in Pittsburgh's "black valleys
where three rivers meet" and although
they lost their principal demands, fol-
lowed their bloody but unbowed
leader.
10000 in aRnks Now
There also is nothing concerning his
earlier career as a warrior for the
LlSHCS VI ldOOL, pal IlSuldLly TIC OAOOUJ
Homestead strike of 1892.
But these deeds are well-remember-
ed by his followers, who have increas~
ed from 6,70O iE 1916 to approximately
10000 today. They will tell, too of
his prowess as a negotiator, how the
eighthour day was won by the per-
suasiveness of Tighe and other labor
chiefs trained in rough-and-tumble
conflict.
They will tell how the Amalgannated
forces were recruited, at secret meet
ings held when the polio forces of the
steel magnates, in control of the mill
towns, had forbidden use of any as
sembling places.
Ascending the stage again, today,
his vigor and brisk step belying his
years, Mike" Tighe is faced with a
problem more difficult than in 1919

important than ever before for North
Carolina to cease any further diver
sion of it's highway funds, but to re-
tain whatever sudplus is accruing in
the highway funds to be used later on
to match federal funds. They main>
tain that since every dollar that goes
100000 automobile and truck owners in
into the highway fund is paid by the
the State, and that since these 800 900
motorists are paying in more than all
the ather tSate taxpayers put together
for other purposes that this revenue
should be used for the roads and moth
ing else.
1T is generally conceded, of course,
that one of the iggest fights in the
1885 General Assembly will center
around the highwGy surplus and the
question of highway fund diversion.
Some groups are going to advocate the
use of the highway surplus to help
the schools of the sales tax. Others
will want it divided up among the
counties or allotted to the cities for
street paving work. But those who
want it saved for highway work only
point out that there would be no sur
plus now at all if the amount really
needed for maintenance last year ana
this coming year had been appropriat-
ed by the 1888 General Assembly.
Congress is evidently already awake
to the danger of highway fund diver
sion, or it would not have written into
the present bill the provision that will
prevent any state that permits diver
sion of it's highway revenue to other
purposes to get any Federal aid. This
section of the proposed law is as fol-
lows:
"Since it is un1afr and unjust to
tax motor vehicle transportation un,
less the proceeds of such taxation are
applied to the construction, improve
ment or maintenance of highways, af-
ter June so, 1885, Federal aid for high
way construction shall be extended
only to those states that use at least
the amounts now provided by law for
such purposes in each state from mo-
tor vehicle registration fees, gasoline
taxes and so forth.

Tighe, Steel Union Leader, Never Dodged
Fight, But Favors Peaceful Settlement
Reds Are Making
Plenty of Trouble

1ederal government through the NFSA
has guaranteed to labor the right to
organize and bargain collectively
The new problem dis different. It
arises mainly within labor's own ranks
In Tighe's words:
The Reds are. maink plenty of
trouble for me-.
His task now is to conciliate the
left-wing of the union which virtually
demands strike at any price. Tighe
knows the coet of a strike, and al
though he is willing to support it to
the Limit if he believes it is the only
way to obtain the recognition he
thinks the union is entitled to, he
hopes to find peaceful way out.
Began as Pudd1er
Shown a letter which, the left
wingers had prepared to send to
President oosebelt, he declared it was
dynamite" and advised them to
throw it into the waste basket.
Called to Washington the last OF
May, after less Conservative elements
had forced strike resolutions against
his wishes, Tighe returned nome wnen
the more vocal district leaders assum-
gamated.
His friends said he hoped to retire
that the New Deal in laobr matters
had left him a little bewi1dered and
tired of it all but he came back.
Like his friend, U. S. Senator James
j. Davis of Pennsylvania, Tighe be-
gam as a puddler. He knows the sted
industry and it's workers inside and
out.
He knows, too, thetemper of the
employers. On his Judgment ana
counsel depends in large measure the
immediate future of the steel indus
try. -
Privately he hoves William z. Foster
was wrong, when he said:
THE 1919 strike was only a prelim-
mary skirmish compared with the trc-
mendous battles that are bound to
come unless the enslaved steel work
ers are set free.

came Just at a very crucial time in
the development of the crop" Parker
said. indications now are for an
excellent tobacco crop, unless it suf-
fers from dry weather later on. This
rain we have had. recently has given
it an excellent start and the prospects
are bright for good crop. 1t has also
helped the truck crops, the gardens,
pastures and hay crop, as well as all
the grain crops"
It is too early yet to tell just what
the effect of this rainy weather has
had on the cotton crop, however, since
it is difficult to tell much about the
cotton crop until July, Parker said.
He agreed, however, that this rainy
weather has been conducive to heavy
oilage development and to boil weev-
lis. But hot, dry weather later on
may offset any present weevil deve-
lopment.
There is no doubt that the rains OF
the past two weeks have meant mil
lions of dollars to North Carolina
farmers and that with normal wealth
er from now they should have excel
lent crops this year, Parker said.

able to get any more Federal funds for

vide approximately $4,50O,O00 of Fed

The bill further provides that for
the fiscal years of 1886 and 1887, the
total appropriation for highway con-
struction shall be 100000 a year,

but that this money must be matched
Under this plan, North Carolina will
be able to get about $2,S00,000 year
of Federal fundsp rovided it will
match it with state funds and thus
make a total of almost $6,000,0O0 a
year available for new construction.
But unless the State matches this
money, it will not be able to get any
of it.
