VALID REGULATION
STUDIED BY n. R. A.
How to Control Four Big
Industries Centers on
Two Courses.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Ways and means of setting up valid
governmental regulation Of four major
Industries is being studied at the
N. r. A.
already supervised through the newly
enacted Guffey law, others marked for
special attention are lumber, tobacco,
paper and iron and steel.
To lesser degree, the N. r. A. is
making a review Of its past work In
code regulation Of these groups:
Automotive, construction, brick and
clay products, fertilizer. rubber. cop
per. distribution, electrical, fisheries,
food, graphic arts, land Transports
ton, machinery and allied products,
motion pictures, service trades, fabrics.
apparel and leather, including boots
and shoes.
Two studies of future regulative
methods, now that the Supreme Court
has overruled the use of the COM
rnerce clause, are under way at Re-
covery Administration headquarters.
The bulletin outlining the program
included these points for special legal
study:
Federal control (regulation) through
employment Of the power Of taxation.
Federal regulation through en-
ployment of treaty power.
Due process of law.
Delegation Of power.
"State recovery legislation in aid Of
N. I. r. A.
Problems relative to the antitrust
laws
Federal power to regulate COM
merce among the several States.
Federal control (regulation) through
employment Of so-called spending
power
The taxing power is employed In
the Guffey coal bill. Treaties with
the States and use Of the spending
power have not been used.
The way the spending power might
be employed, as envisaged by some
officials, would be through Federal
Government allotment of money to
the States on the stipulation that the
States fix wages and hours to wipe out
unemployment.

Trouble In w. Virginia

Threats of violence and to elbow
up the tracks Of the Norfolk and
Western Railway" caused 80 Negro
laborers to stop work an the tracks
in Buchanan county, Va, Thursday
evening. The threats were delivered
in person by more than 200 whites,
who declared that "No Negroes had
ever lived in Buchanan county and
we are not going to stand to see it
started now. The crew moved over
to Grundy county and resumed work.
According to reports received here,
the 80 workers arrived in Buchanan
county early Thursday morning and
after setting up the camp started to
work. 200 stood on the opposite side
of the tracks, we'll into the shadows,
five marched into the railroad camp
and delivered the ultimatum. Camp
was broken Immediately and the work
ceased. The spokesman made it plain
that the action was not taken be-
cause white men wanted the jobs

WHAT FIRE PREVENTION
MEANS TO YOU

The coming of Fire Prevention
Week, which will be observed be-
tween October 6 and II, makes it
worth while to mediate on wha
fire prevention G to you as an
individual, a taxpayer, a home owner
and a worker.
Fire prevention saves lives-yours
and your loved ones. Thousands Of
people are now cremated each year
because somone was careless.
Fire prevention is the friend of
the home. Without it, your home
may be turned to ashes-and insur-
ance can never replace the many
intangible values each home repre-
sents. Money cannot compensate
for everything.
Fire prevention tends to keep
taxes down. Eacn time a fire de-
stroys taxpaying property, thus re-
moving it from the tax rolls, higher
taxes must be paid by all other prop
erty within the community.
Fire prevention keeps insurance
rates down. Over a period of years,
the rate for each locality is based
upon fire loss-many fires mean
high rates.
Fire prevention is the friend of
employment. When a fire destroys
a business, jobs n lost, and thous-
ands of dollars in purchasing power
is lost with them. Untold privation
and misery can result.
Fire prevention ean progressive
towns and cities. Cases are on rec
ord where a single fire, destroying
a towns main industry, has resulted
in permanent r-etrogression, at the
expense Of property and all other
values II the community.
Prevent fire-and save lives n d
money. Do your part during Fire
Prevention Week.

Flags Prejudice

Columbia, S. c., Oct. IL, (ANP)
Rev. B. J.. Corbett, prominent

all of its forms, here Sunday night,
in a sermon delivered at the South
side Baptist church.
Speaking on "The Sin Of Pref

prejudice against persons, races
religions, creeds and sections of the
country were u~nchristian and that
no good can come out being pref
udice. "a prejudiced person" said
the minister, Inequalities himself
for any service whatever. He builds
a wall around himself and will not
let the facts enter. He stops his
ears and will not hear, and shuts his
eyes SO that he can not see. There
fore let me urge you to keep your
heart with all diligence from pref

Apparel Shop Jim
Crow Is Held
Violation Of Law

New York, Oct. 12.-The refusal
of the proprietor of a women's
clothing shop in Cleveland, Ohio,
to serve a colored woman was held
to be an action upon which suit
could be filed under the Ohio Civil
Rights Law, in an opinion given by
Judge Lewis Drucker of the Cleve-
land Municipal Court. The full
opinion has just been received here
by the National Association for the
Advancement of Colored People
Mrs. Ellen Sissle, through her at
torney, Chester K. Gillespie, had
filed suit against Harvey, Inc, al
leging that she had been refused
service. The store answered the
suit by saying that there was no
cause of action since women's APP
parel shops were not named in the
Civil Rights Law. In making his
decision, the Judge stated:
"The question remains whether
defendants place of business is a
public place. On the allegations Of
the petition admitted for the pur-
poses of this demurrer, we think
there a be no serious question but
that it is a public place, open to all
the people whose needs it may sat
isfy for a consideration. In other
words that it is no different from
any other place of business which
offers its wares to the general pub
lie, who is able or willing to pay
the price therefore.
Having in mind the declared OBJ
ject of the statute and the spirit in
which it has been consistently con-
strued by the courts Of Ohio, we are
Of the opinion that the petition
states a cause Of action"

ECONOMIC
HGHLIGHTS

CUTTING THE COST OF FOOD
Constant Roadway is being made
in solving an old persistent problem
that of reducing the spread in the
cost Of food between producer and
consumer.
Large scale buying and selling
methods are narrowing that spread.
The chain grocery systems led the
way in showing the consum how
to get the most in both quality and
quantity for his dollar. Now indie
pendent stores, banded together in
purchasing groups, have followed the
lead and are performing a similar
public service.
"A Dow-Jones News Service item
indicates the kind of progress that
is being made. 1t tells how one chain
grocery system recently reduced its
regular quarterly stock dividend
from rs to 80 cents-in spite of the
fact that its total sales have greatly
increased. Profits had not increased
proportionately, for the reason that
the system had to pay higher prices
for farm products and manufactured
goods, but it did not increase the
price to consumer, proportionately.
It's purpose is to continue to supply
its customers with high quality
foods at the lowest cost, and to
achieve that it is deliberately cutting
its uniformly small margin Of profit.
This same system is now spending
$46,000,000 a year for foodstuffs in
a single state-thus carrying the
benefits of mas buying and selling
methods to the producer as well as
the consumer in the territories in
which it operates.
The housewife and the farmer are
profiting by the modern system of
retail distribution of food products
which is more and more passing on
to the consumer the savings being
made by eliminating unnecessary
handling charges between producers
and consumers.

DIR. SlOcum Addresses
Old Age Pension Club

In his address to the combined
groups Of the Townsend Old Age Pen
sion Club, at the F~ontenelle Hotel,
tuesday, October 1, DR.. j. E. Slocum
made the following statements in
his speech. "The members of the
Townsend Old Age Pension Club, must
possess that Yankee Doodlism, which
IS SO essential to a group of this
kind. People do not always do the
things they think, but the things
they feel; unless you feel all the way
through, sincerely and faithfully, will
you be able to put over the great
cause Of this plan.
While in Beverly Hills, California
first took notice Of the work Of the
townsend plan, but at that time I
believed it to be just another i'm
practical and improbable plan. How
ever, on my return home, nv father
and | discussed this movement. nv
father said the plan was to give 5000
a month to the aged, the money was
TO be taken out of the sales tax. At
the conclusion of his talk, we figured
that $500 a month would be such a.
help to the aged,to keep them from
worrying about being dependents and
a burden. Both my father and I were
under the impression that it was lust
q fantastical plan, and laid it to one
side. went back to California, and
was asked by a DR.. Hall to speak
to the Townsend club. He asked me to
talk about anything l wanted to. as
q did not think much of the move
ment, refused to talk on anv sub
Ject pertaining to it. But he was a
shrewd fellow, and gave me a book
called The Speakers Manuel" in or
der to get a subject on which to speak
to the group. Before l had concluded
reading that book, | was Jared down
to a conviction that it was the sal
walton Of the people of America.
America is travelling in bad company.
She, China and Italy are the only ma
lions which have not made any pro-
visions for her citizens over sixty
years of age.
| hope | might stimulate you to
register at the poll that which is
necessary to put this movement a.
cross. Our politicians are coming
nome now; we r approaching clos
er and closer the time when they
want to come before groups and pre-
sent their plans or intentions; when
they have concluded you have just
one thing to settle will he vote for
the Townsend Old Age Pension plan.
If he is for it, then, we are for him,
if he is against it, then we are
against him.
l happened to hear a man known
as The Wandering Reporter over
the radio given US the experiences
of the happenings of the week he said
in the meeting l attended of the
Townsend movement there has been
something resembling a religious
fantastical ZEAL This was a compli-
ment.
This plan is one of the most rap
idly growing movements Of the day.
DR.. Slocum read "Eulogy to a
Dreamer, and dedicated it to Mr..
Townsend and in conclusion he re-
cited Edgar Guests immortal poem
Faith.
Over 500 people were at this meet
ing, most of which were people Of
go, or fast approaching that age.
