The following news item appear

Business Leaders
Urged To Promote
Building Revival

Washington.-A move to muster
Ia formidable group of business
leaders to help the government
stimulate private construction is tic
be proposed to the commerce de-
partment's business advisory arc
planning council.
The proposal is to Great a spec
ial committee of business leaders
to cooperate with the government.
Behind it is strong belief that a
sizeable squirt in private building
is essential to recovery. Squirting
the move is the opinion that 1884
construction spending will drop be-
low 1888 levels.
A report already has been pre-
pared for submission to the private
construction committee Of the
council and with that committee
likely approval, to the council it
self. ~
This report says that of a normal
annual $1,000, 600, 900 construc-
ton business, $4,000, oo0,oo was
private spending and from $4,000
600, 900 to $2,5Oo,o oo, 900 public.
Today, the report finds, private
construction has shrunk to ST.
900, 600, 900 annually. This means
the unemployment of 100000
workers at construction sites and
1000, 900 more in supplying mat
eria1s+ :-.

Spirit OF Optimism
In North Carolina

Secretaries of the t~hirty-one Pro-
duction Credit Associations in
North Carolina from which H.
$50 farmers borrowed a total of
$2,S72,316.25 for production pur-
poses this year reported at a con-
ference in Raleigh that prospects
were exceedingly bright for 100
per cent collections. The secre-
taries whose associations are in the
tobacco belts where the markets
have already opened reported that
the collections were already splen-
did in those sections.
Ernest Graham, president of the
Production Credit Corporation Of
Columbia, told the secretaries that
he believed every dollar of the
nearly 100000 borrowed by the
North Carolina farmers from the
associations would be repaid. The
splendid prices being paid for to-
bacco and the most favorable out
look for cotton, he said, should
place nearly every grower who OBJ
tanned a loan in position to repay
same and thus maintain his credit,
at the same time enhancing the
value of his stock in the Produc-
ton Credit Association from which
he secured his loan.
Mr.. Graham stressed the fact
that the money which had been
loaned to the farmers had been OBJ
tanned through the Federal Inter
mediate. Credit Bank which had
sold debentures to private inves-
tors and as collateral to these de-
bentures had used the notes and
mortgages of the farmer-borrowers
plus other collateral necessary to
secure an attractive interest rate.
The money loaned therefore was
not government money, he said
The government he continued, has
provided the major portion of the
capital stock, and is assisting in the
supervision of this great coopera-
tive credit movement for farmers.

System For Training
Apprentices For Jobs

Raleigh.-Apprentices, to b.
trained in all kinds of industrial Oh
other work, much in the order thai
they are now training in printing
and other trades, are to be provid:
ed in a new organization which
comes down to the state from Pre-
sident Roosevelt and through Score
tary of Labor Perkins, Major A. L
Gletcher, commissioner of labor
announces.
The state organization here will
be headed by Major Fletcher, F
H. Shuford, labor compliance Of
fcer of the NRA; George w. Cog
gins, director of vocational educa-
ton of the State Department Of
education, and Capus M. Waynick
director of unemployment in the
state, along with two representa-
tives of labor and two of employ
ers, the latter yet to be named.
Major Fletcher states.
Young. workers will be selected
with some degree Of fitness for the
Jobs they are to undertake. They
will be given 1000 hours of train
ing on the jobs and IA hours of
educational training, seeking to fit
them for the work they are to do.
They will be placed with experien-
ced workers during the working
time, and will be paid a percentage
of the minimum wages allowed for
the class of work under the code,
As they learn the work the pay
will be increased. The number OF
apprentices taken into any indus
try will bear a direct relation tc
the number of workers already
engaged in such activity, SO as not
to overload any particular kind OF
industrial work.
All of the industries now under
the code,, now numbering 471,
would be included in the plan, anc
each industrial plant or other en-
ployer will enter into an appren-
ticeship contract with each new
worker.
The state group will be extended
on down to local groups who will
have charge of all apprenticeship
training. The object is to provide
trained workers for all kinds Of
industries, extending the plan tc
clerks in stores, BARRIERS, shoe
makers, laundry workers, butchers
and in fact, into all activities in
which training for the kind Of
work to be done is needed.
Major fletcher, Mr.. Coggins, and
Mr.. Shuford recently attended a
meeting in Atlanta of state repres-
entatives of their various groups
from all of the Southeastern states,
at which time the plans and pur-
poses were explained.
