Communist demands that France

with arms form the newest, but not

picture.
Sweeping social laws, granting a
(0-hour week and other labor bene-

lament last Spring to end widespread
occupation strikes in which more than
. million workers participated.
However, only two of the laws have
been applied, providing for paid va
cations and wage increases. Conse-
quently, in the face of new strikes
and threats of others, the Blum gov
ernment is fastening to make the
laws providing shorter hours and COL

PARIS, September II. - Leftist
French workers plan to seize the
Renault automobile factory outside
Paris, the government was told today
for IAN experiment" in industrial
sovietization."
A delegation representing $500 fore
men and technicians in the Renault
works, one of the largest industrial
plants in France, gave the information
to Premier Leon Blum in his Office.
Officials of the metal workers union,
however, denied there was any plan
to take over the factory.
The members of the delegation OF
workers told Blum the movement
was started by Communist employees
They declared they had received in
formation the Extremists were plan
ming to take over the plant by force
and operate it for themselves tempo
marily.
The delegation asked the premier
Tor a government guarantee that non
union employees would be assured Of
the right to work in the event the
experiment" materialized.
The Renault plant, located at Bill
lancourt, a suburb of Paris, employs
$4,000 workers to produce army equip
ment as well as motor vehicles of all
kinds.
Fresh labor troubles, linked to
workers demands for reconsideration
Of Frances non-intervention policy
In the Spanish civil war, brought new
worries to cabinet officials.
Acts to Halt Strikes.
Minister the Interior Roger Salem
gro left the capital hurriedly for Lille
in an effort to halt the spread of
occupational strikes in textile estab-
dshments.
Striking bus drivers in Paris and
the suburbs took control of garages.
Building workers at Metz and mill
workers at Epinal declared walkouts.
Farmers in Alsace formed mill
tant society to prevent the occupation
Of their land by hired hands.
The governments neutrality policy,
meanwhile, received support from
100000 members of the National
Confederation of War Veterans.
The veterans declared full agreement
with the "hands-off" policy of the
Blum government, throwing their
backing against the 100000 members
of the General Confederation of Labor,
which has demanded reconsideration
Of the neutrality attitude.
A rift in the labor ranks became
apparent when the Paris Railway Un-
ion protested the action of metal
workers in seeking to obtain revision
Of the neutrality policy before OBJ
tanning official approval from the Gen.
eral Confederation.
Catholic war veterans assembled at
Lourdes for a gigantic peace DEM

NEW BUILDING BOOSTED 5Sp'o
 IN FIRST HALF
By RAIDER WINGET

NEW YORK, July 7-The unpre- cedented peace-time drive for public and private construction during the first half of 1886 produced the great est acceleration of building since the depression halted the forward strides of that gigantic industry.
 Residential building, upon which government and civic organizations nave exerted the most pressure, re- sponded by rising to the best levels since the end of 1881, as measured by the Associated Press index.
 Percentage wise, the showing is phenomenal. The estimated volume for the first six months of 1936 is half again as great as for the first of last year and nearly double the initial part of the 1892 depression low point.
 Shortage Spurs Home Building
 In dollars, however, the building of private homes so far this year totaled about $320,O00,000 compared with more than a million dollars for the corresponding period of 1929.
 Nevertheless there is distinct shortage of homes. Real estate au- shorities have warned that the na- ton will face an embarrassing lack of homes unless building picks up sharply, private enterprise has erect ed model homes, corporations have offered pre-fabricated dwellings,
 Total Far Below 1929
 Estimates show that in the first half of the present year contracts were let for buildings valued at $1,- lOc,000,000 That gross is 58 per cent higher than the corresponding per iod of last year, which in turn was 61 per cent Shigher than the 1883 comparative But it stands well be- low tht total of $3,012, 100000 regis tered for the January June period of 1929.

Trends in Recent Years.
1t is a matter of record however,
that the last few sessions of the Cen
eral Assembly have given more and
more thought to the possibility of
enacting some form of excess profits
tax, and that in both the 1888 and
1885 Sessions, bills proposing the en-
actment of excess profits taxes were
defeated by only very narrow mar
gins The opposition to these bills
came. of course, from the large mon
eyed interests who would be reached
by such laws and have to pay most
of the tax. The principal argument
against the enactment of an excess
profits tax in North Carolina was that
it would either force many industries
to close or cause them to move to
other states, with the result that all
such proposals were defeated.
But if South Carolina succeeds in
enacting such tax and in collecting
it from the textile manufacturers.
there is no doubt that the next North
Carolina legislature will be more de-
termined than ever to experiment
with such tax here. Governor John
son claims, according to press re-
ports, that if they can recover only
IS per cent of the 60 per cent Of the
processing taxes which have now been
returned by the textile manufacture
ers, that the State can get at least
50, 100000 a ear i'm new revenue to ap-
ply to matching Federal grants for
old age benefits and other objects

about 10 per cent of the processing
taxes returned to them to their GUS
toners, with the result that the other
60 per cent has bccOmc excess profits
which have gone into their own
Dock cts.
Here i'm North Carolina, unofficial
estimates are that at least $40 900 900
has been returned TO textile manu-
facturcrs by the Federal government
from processing taxes and that not
more than so per cent of this $20oC0,-
600 has been returned to their Gus

Thu big trouble with tax Of this
sort, those who have analysed the sit

from the processing tax would be cx-
hausted at the end Of the first year
and that thereafter there either would
not be any excess profits to tax or
manufacturers would have to load

Nevertheless, under most govern
