NEW THREAT is SEEN
IN SILVER ACTION

WASHINGTON, Apr. Is. (UP)
A new and powerful silver move
arose in the house today just as
the administration had hoped the
silver drive had been checked
through revelations indicating
widespread speculation in the
deal.
The new threat to the presi-
dents determined stand against
anything but permissive silver
legislation at this session of con-
gress was the revolutionary Colds
borough monetary bill.
This measure now carries L.
900, 100000 ounce silver purchase
plan. The United Press learned
today that silver advocates are
preparing to report the bill favor
ably to the house. The admins
tration-controlled rules committee
would then be in a position to
block consideration Of the bill ex-
cept under suspension Of rules.
Silver advocates, claiming daily
recruits from representatives of
agricultural areas, are hopeful OF
sufficient strength to pass the bill,
even with the two-thirds rule.
They also claim sufficient strength
in the senate for passage.
The Goldsborough bill is now
before the house banking and cur
rency committee. 1t was written
by Rep. T. Allen Goldsborough,
DEM, Maryland, but the silver
purchase plan was inserted by
members of the silver bloc.

Open COUNTY
LEAGUE PLAY
ON APRIL Is
Eight-Team Group Is in
Field With Saluda as
Newest Entrant
SATURDAYS SCHEDULE
Fletcher at Fruitland.
Green River at East Flat Rock,
Mills River at Balfour.
Saluda at Valley Hill.
By E. H. CASE

Be it the weather mans will,
eight Henderson County baseball
league teams will engage in bat
tie next Saturday afternoon at
$3.50 o'clock. The final details of
the 1884 organization were ironed
out at a meeting held at the
courthouse last Saturday nigh.
But during the sessions it was
found that CCC Camp F-2 was
forced to abandon plans of taking
part in the league this year, and
Saluda, which had applied for a
place in the loop some days ago,
was given the camps berth.
The teams were paired off as
follows:
Valley Hill will initiate Saluda
into the loop at the Laurel Park
diamond. The Fletcher nine, 1888
champions, will journey over to
Fruitland to make their first bid
for the 1884 championship and
trophy. Green River will take on
East Flat Rock at Fast Flat Rock
and Mills River will invade Bal
tours big park for the fourth and
last contest.
All these games will start not
later than $3.50 p. m, and should
be worth seeing.
Each team has added strength
for the 1884 campaign.
Fletcher will have almost the
same team that ran away with
everything but the scoreboards
last year. Fruitland is better or"
ganized and pulling together to
win more ball games instead OF
arguments. 1t has plenty of classy
material and should give any
team, real battle. Mills River
has enlarged its roster of play
ers and, with it's usual terrific
batting attack, should ask no odds
of the loops strongest teams,
East Flat Rock has more bal
players than the st. Louis Cardi'
mails and with big Johnny Jack:
son, the leagues most feared
pitcher, in perfect form, is sure
to win lot of ball games. Greeh
River, also, has more players this
year and, with its hard hitting
and disrespect for any pitcher
can be counted on to make a real
bid for top honors. Balfour has

We tell the truth
about many things, sometimes pro-
foundly, sometimes Aippantly,
sometimes recklessly. .

Those whose job it is each year to
cast up the record for the past year
and to set forth forecasts for the
coming IL months aren't having such
rosy job getting happy forecasts
in shape for the New Year editions.
Secretary Perkins says she has a
program that will put ALL the un-
employed at work for the next Is
years, but details are still guarded.
II she breaks forth with that program
before the forecasts are all run into
the mold the job will be easy. She
will have fixed everything.
But there isn't any great rush of
enthusiasm toward taking the prom
Use on faith until the details are let
out Of the bag.
We and the forecasters wait to see.
They wish to behold. They wish to
observe the blue prints.
Meanwhile facts are the only things
that count.
That old unemployment figure still
sticks out Of the economic picture
like very sore thumb. Much more
worrisome to all who have to do with
fixing the machine so it will work and

Building trades employment shows
slightly better tone, but the building
trades are facing a wage battle that
doesn't look like picnic pleasure.
Honest Harold Ickes is out to bring
wages down on the shadowy promise
that there will be more work and a
higher annual income. He hasn't yet
said whether he means higher than
it is just now or higher than it was
in 1927, '28 or '29-or when.
That is important and SO are sew
eral other things. Chief among the
important things is the question of
what Honest Harold intends to do
about the cost of building materials.
All, there's point. Right now they
are just 100 per cent above year
ago.
So many things happen i'll this

It's always fair game to go after
labor and its wages, but it seems so
seldom to occur to great many per-
sons that there are real abuses lurk-
ing elsewhere that might be gone

Building trades labor never has
earned a high yearly wage, and
it's hourly wage never has been
really high. Propaganda has made
it seem high to those who don't
pause to think. Meanwhile the

Tender LulIabys Were croonsd by the
/, Young Mother.
The lullabys crooned by the young
mother in the stiffness Of the moments
when the divine child was lulled to
sleep have had no listener who passed
them on to an eager world. What could
have been the burden Of the intimate
things Of which the mother sang when
the restless world was shut away and
the two, closely entwined, communed
together, with the knowledge Of their
destiny lowering about them. Did she
sing Him tender baby songs that made
no reference to His divinity or did
she praise Him AZ her God and sing
her fidelity a. she held Him close and
soothed His earthly WEAKNESS? Did she
beg Of Him to spare her the suffering
she knew awaited them or did she en-.
courage Him in tender human fashion
to bear the terrible human agony fore
ordained for Him? The lullabies that
soothed the sacred child were never
heard by profane ears.
In the life Of Christ there must have
been much music. Descended from the
greatest singer Of all times, the psalm
ist David, and his advent into the
world proclaimed by the singers from
His heavenly home, there was human
and divine heritage Of music woven
into the scheme Of His existence on
earth. In the childhood years Of the
Lord, what were His childish pleasures,
what were His childish songs? Was
the soul OF the young Saviour too sad
for singing or did He fashion Himself
songs from 4 heavenly source whisp-
cred by angels or did He sing the songs
Of His people heard on the lips Of His
companions? In the synagogue did He
praise His Father after the manner of
David and to the tune Of the lutte and
was His sacred voice heard when He
read from the scriptures. The songs
the Saviour sang have vanished.
Yet the music Of that sacred time
Ia not lost, for II ID born again In the
hearts Of the great composers. Bit by
bit the melody that was heard the first
Christmas night has come back to US
distilled from the pens Of the specially
chosen, and who is there to say 1t is
not akin to the music Of the celestial
choirs? The inexplicable urge Of mel
ody. the grandeur of musical thought,
the loftiness of inspiration must sure
~ be from the same source az was
the music that was heard but once on
earth.
It was not without intent that the
message OF peace was sent out on the
"wings Of song" for that IL the power
Of music-to bring peace. Nor was II
By chance that the melody came from
the heavens, for ever the inward eyes
Of the soul turn heavenward under
the influence Of great earthly music.
The radiance Of the star shines In the
heart under the touch Of melody and
the soul expands to a fuller comprs-
hension of the promises for eternity.

Indicted For Labor Viola
tiOns

BY A. F. of L. News Service.
Philadelphia, Pa.-The Indictment
Of the Gulf Refining Company on 72
counts of violating the labor provi-
sions of the oil code was hailed by
the oil administration as one of the
progressive major steps in the con-
slant campaign for enforcing the code
against all violators.
George w. Stocking, chairman of
the Petroleum Labor Policy Board, in
formally advised Oil Administrator
Harold L. Ickes of the Indictment.
Chairman Stocking asserted that the
federal grand jury, by it's action, sus-
tanned the administrations contention
that the company resorted to illegal
practices to break a strike last sum-
mer at its Girard Point, Pa, plant.
The Indictment was returned by
the grand jury at Philadelphia.
The jury agreed in effect with the
boards findings that in breaking
tn. strike, the company made
employees work as long as 48 con-
secutive hours. The boards in
quiry also disclosed that many
longtime employees Of the COM
pany were discharged when they
struck.
Prosecution was recommended to
the department of justice by Armin-
istrator Ickes when the board re-
ported it's findings to him.
