would be wise for North Carolina to
call a special session, however, unless
South Carolina agrees to go into
pact with Virginia and North Caro-
lima, without Georgia, and unless Con-
gress will enact the proper legislation
necessary to validate the State pact
plan.
Can Force Action.
However, I celieve that North Car
DINA tobacco growers, with the assis-
lance of those from Virginia and
South Carolina, can go to Washing
ton and bring enough pressure to bear
to insure the necessary Federal leg
islation, just as we went there in 1888
and stayed there until the AAA and
the Department of Agriculture chang
ed their minds and finally agreed to
bring tobacco under the control plan.
There is no doubt in my mind that
we can get the proper legislation
from Congress to insure the success
of the State pact plan if North Caro-
lima, South Carolina and Virginia
agree to cooperate, and even if Geor-
gia stays out, since Georgia produces
only 10 per cent of the crop, anyway

Saws Patrolmen
Supposed to Stay

Nv j C. BASKERVILLE

Raleigh, March 5.-Highway patrol
men are not supposed to sit around in
offices and to be subject to call, but
are supposed to be out on the high
ways on patrol duty to enforce the
motor vehicle laws and prevent acct
dents, Captain Charles D. Farmer,
commander of the PATROL said today
in reply to the criticism that patrol
men can never be found in the patrol
offices when they are wanted by city
police departments or individuals.
Chose who criticize the highway
patrol because they cannot always
find highway patrolmen in the patrol
offices must remember that the pa
troll is not a police force, subject to
call by the public, but that it is pri-
marily a highway police organization
whose first duty is to patrol the high
ways to prevent accidents and enforce
the motor vehicle laws" Captain Far
1ner said accordingly, the only time
we know where the patrOlmen are is

ing, in an effort to determine Whetner
South Carolina will agree to enter
pact with Virginia and North caro-
lima for 1886 only without Georgia. IL
is expected the North Carolina COM
mittee will urge the South Carollha
committee to enact virtually the same
law as Virginia has enacted, so tnat
it can become effective without Geor-
gia, but providing that the Georgia
growers must show slime voluntary CO.

ever action is takne in South Cafoflna
will be taken by the end of this week
or early next week at the latest.
Governor Sends Inquiry.
If South Carolina enacts this State
pact law, as it is now expected TO oo'
the only remaining hurdle IN the PAIN
to a special session of the North Car
DINA assembly will be congressional
action to validate such a pact. In an
effort to find out what is being done
in Washington, or if anything is be-
ment of this validating Legislation,
Governor Ehringhaus late yesterday
sent kilograms to all the congressman
from tobacco growing sections, asking
the following questions:
/. Has a bill been prepared by the
Department of Agriculture, or by any
one, to permit the bright tobacco
growing states to enter into pact for
the control of tobacco production IN
1886 and ensuing years?
2. Has such a bill been introduced?
3. Will the Department of Agricul-
ture support such a bill if it is intro
duced?
4. What is the prospect for the pas
sage Of such a bill if it is offered?
Queries Tobacco Congressman.

stead. Governor Ehringhaus indicated
he wanted to receive and study the
Henderson daily dispatch., 1936-03-05

replies of these members of Congress
to these questions before he would
commit himself any further with re-
gard to calling a special session, even
if South Carolina should enact State
pact law identical with the one enact
ed in Virginia. For without the enact
ment of permissive law by Congress,
the State pact laws would be COM
pletely useless.
However, there is no denying the
fact that pressure for a special seS-
sion from the tobacco producing coun-
ties is growing greater every day. The
result is that if South Carolina enacts
it's State pact law and Congress passes
the required permisive act, few see
how Governor Ehringhaus can refuse
to call the North Carolina Assembly
into special session to enact a similar
law.
JOyner FavOrs Action.
The tobacco crop and price outlook
for this year is becoming increasingly
serious and immediate action should
be taken to bring about a State pact
plan and congressional action to va
lidate it, according to DR.. j. Y. Joyner
one of the leading tobacco farmers of
the State, of LAGRANGE, Lenior coun-
ty, who conferred with Governor En-
ringhaus here Wednesday. Dr. Joyner
cut short a vacation in Florida to re-
turn to North Carolina because of the
serious tobacco crop outlook. He was
one of the tobacco leaders who stood
by Governor Ehringhaus in 1888 in
demanding that the Federal govern
ment do something for the tobacco
farmers at that time.
FavOrs Extra Session.
II think a special session of the
North Carolina General Assembly will
be absolutely essential to bring about
any sort of tobacco crop control and
to prevent 1886 prices from dropping
to destructive levels, if South Caro-
lima passes a State pact plan similar
to that already enacted by Virginia, -

EIv Commercial Club Lists
Activities for the Past Year
Ffty-sx Accomplishments Included in the Activity Report
for Last Year Compiled by Secretary Ray Hoefler
and Presented Annual Meeting

In the story of the Ely Commercial
Club installation and banquet printed
in these columns last week, mention was
made in regard to the achievements Of
the club for 1885 as reported by Sec
rotary Ray Hoefler.
The report was too long for publica-
ton in the account of the banquet at
which the report was presented. The
visitors from other clubs in the county
were impressed with the achievements
listed and expressed desire for copy
to show to their home clubs and prove
to them what can be accomplished by a
wide-awake organization, such as the
Ely Commercial Club has shown itself
to be.
We are printing the report as given
citing the Sc items making up the list.
We also state without reservation that
this list does not comprise every thing
accomplished by the club, but that a
vast number of activities participated in
by the members, duly recognized at the
meetings, of which no official record has
been made.
The report was as follows:

board of directors meetings, ten regu-
lar meetings and three special meetings

DURING 1885
Supreme Secretary A. Zbasnik
Issues Fine Activity Report
in Years Summary.

In another place in this paper will be
found the statement of the condition
of the South Slavonic Catholic Union
Secretary Anton Zbasnik and presented
to the annual meeting of high officers
in this city last week.
The report is very comprehensive
one and shows the Union in excellent
condition. 1t also shows growth in
assets from 81 ,964.494.61 in 1884 to
So, lot ,623.47 in 1885. The reserve for
the protection of certificate holders also
increased during the year from ST.
769, 60403 in 1884 to $2,039, 623.47 last
year.
The sick benefit fund increased ap-
proximately so per cent during the year.
The expense fund increased 80 per cent
during the year just passed. The re-
port is compact statement Of the con-
dition of the receipts and expenditures
for 1885.
However, both Secretary zbasnik and
Treasurer Louis Champa, with head
offices in this city, state that the Union
had one of the best years since 1890 and
that this condition is brought about by
the activity of the membership and the
result of better conditions in the indus
trial centers of the east.
The officers report an increased men,
bership of 1888 for the year and that
the total membership now stands at
20,298. The Juvenile branch gained a
net membership of 972 for the year.
Deaths during the year amounted to
118 as compared to 1875 during 1884.
One lodge was gained during the year
making 1876 lodges in the organization.
The increase in the treasury for 1885
amounted to $135 900 more than during
1884.

attendant annual meeting were we'll

AS you know, the rate of production in
our industry at the low point of the de-
preston dipped to about 1870 Of cap
acity. Even now, it seems rather para
doxical that we should feel a sense OF
comfort in arriving, as we have, at a
scale of operations slightly in excess
of 500 of capacity, representing as il
does little more than an opportunity
for the industry as a whole to break
even.
Our industry is so constituted that il
requires a high volume of production
before there accrues any return on CAPT.
tai investment. Striking emphasis OF
this fact is found in a review of the
results for the ten-year period ending
with 1884, during which the industry as
a unit earned something like 214 % on
its capital and surplus investment. In
the period 1931-1934, the deficits suf-
fered by the steel industry in the ag-
gregate reached a total of nearly $500,
100000. Much of this loss must be at
tributed to the fact that the prices
which we have been getting for ou
products have failed to keep pace with
increasing costs, due in large part to
the voluntary advances in wages which
the industry inaugurated in its effort tc

ELY PIONEER
DIES SATURDAY
John M. Brown, Resident Here
46 Years, Died Saturday of
Heart Attack.

The people of Ely were shocked Sat
urday when they learned of the death
at the Shipman hospital at / O'Clock
that morning of John M. Brown, more
Familiarity known as Jock" Brown, of
heart failure
Mr.. Brown was taken to the hospital
Thursday suffering with hemorrhage
of the stomach. Ana operation was per-
formed that evening and surgeons
found a perforated ulcer of the stomach.
Following the operation, Mr.. Brown
felt much better and was getting along
nicely. Friday evening his heart
weakened and death followed the next
morning.
John Mason Brown was born in
Brechin, Scotland on January l. 1869,
son Of John and Mary Brown.
He attended the schools of Brechin
up to the age of Is years when he went
to work in the finishing department of
linen mills and worked there until he
was 81 years of age when he emigrated
to America, coming direct to Ely to
join his brother, David, at that time
engaged in the tailoring business.
The date of Mr. Browns arrival in
Ely is given as 1890. Shortly after his
arrival he accepted position as night
clerk at the Exchange hotel and also
was assistant to the late Sam Rapson
as news agent on the D. & l. R. rail-
way for several years.
After serving as news agent for sew
eral years he entered business with Mr..
Rapson in the corner now occupied by
the Chocolate Shop. He conducted this
business for some time, later entering
the employ of the Miller Store company
as clerk and order taker. He was with
the Miller company until March 16, 1916,
when he became postmaster of Ely,
serving in this capacity for nearly 9
years, or until succeeded by Frank
Schweiger.
After leaving the postofhce, Mr..
Brown returned to the Miller store for
a short time, opening in the grocery

ADULT FORUM TO
DISCUSS FAScISM
Frank Bourgin to Lead Subject
at Meeting of Education
Group Tonight.

One of the most interesting subjects
of the seasons program will be discussed
tonight at the Memorial high school
when Can Fascism Happen Here?'
is scheduled for discussion under the
leadership of Frank Bourgin, forum
lecturer
The lecture will center around the
debatable question whether America
is immune to a Fascist movement
Some have held that the American ira
dition of constitutional government
would not tolerate Fascism in this
country. The subject has lately been
revived by the Nobel prize winner
Sinclair Lewis new novel, ut Can't
Happen Here" If Lewis does not
exactly prove that it could, he leaves
a great many doubts in the minds OF
those who believe in maintaining dem
ocratic traditions.
Mr. Bourgin, in his lecture, will sum-
Marie the results of the New Deal with
reference to whether or not it has
eliminated the menace of American
Fascism. Who are the outlaw elements
of American society that would act as
the nucleus of a native Fascism? Is
the American love for liberty great
enough to overcome movement to
establish dictatorship in the saddle?
How can men act to prevent Fascism
from coming here?
These are questions that all in.
telligent men are asking today. The
Forums meeting this evening is ex-
pected to be one of the most interesting
of the season. The meeting begins at

Both First and Second Teams
Win From Strong Teams
in Local Pool.

Revenging a defeat handed them
earlier IN the season, an inspired Ely
team downed the Chisholm swimmers
at the local natatorium, Saturday, by a
score of 20 to 35.
The outstanding race of the day, ac-
cording to Coach Herseth, was the 100
bareback stroke in which Harvey Tjader
negotiated the distance in 1:11.9. This
race was very fast considering the fact
he lost time on one bad turn in which
he injured his elbow
Ralph Majerle won his pet event, the
100-yard breast stroke, with a comfor-
table margin although his time is far
behind his state meet record made last
year.
Joe Grahek is back in the game after
a temporary absence. Grahek proved a
powerful unit of the Ely team, winning
a first in the 40-yard free style and
first in diving, although not consistent
as usual in the latter event.
The Freshmen squad is developing by
leaps and constantly threaten to re-
place some of their older rivals. This
is pleasing to each Herseth who SAYS
that William Carlson, Paul Hendrickson.
Walter Jones, Edward Klun and
Leonard Levar will make headlines a
few years hence. The coach further
says that these boys are the finest group
of Freshmen swimmers he has ever had
on his squad and that in two or three
years from now they should all be
champions in their respective events.

In an address delivered by William
A. Irwin, president of the United States
Steel Corporation at the Union League
Club in Chicago, on January 9th, he
spoke on Steel as Barometer" and in
the address dwelt on the part steel
plays in the economic condition of the
country. He said:
IT shall try to confine my remarks
to the relationship of the steel industry
to the people of this country. I select
the steel industry for two reasons: first,
because know more about it, or hope
do, than I know of wheat, or cotton, or
oil; and second, steel has frequently,
if not usually, been regarded as the BAR
ometer of business in the United States.
I was reminded of this recently when
the head of one of the great railroad
systems was asked by a reporter what
broad economic principle he used in
basing his forecasts of future pro-
grams of development. His reply, with
out hesitation, was ''the curve of steel
production" I am happy to say this
curve has been on the upgrade, especi-
ally in the past six months.
One can readily understand why the
steel industry has come to be regarded
as barometer of business. Agriculture,
for instance, furnishes the greatest buy
ing power in this country. When agri-
culture prospers, it is Immediately re-
Elected in steel operations because prac-
tically all the equipment required by
the farmer requires steel. The canning
industry, closely allied to the agricul-
tural industry, prospers coincidentally
with agriculture and that, in turn, is
a very important consumer of steel.
And so We pass on to the motor in
dustry, the railroads, the construction
industry, and in each case point to
the direct bearing their progress and
activity has upon steel operations and
understand readily why steel has come
to be regarded as the barometer of
business generally. 1t does not neces-
sarily depend upon the prosperity or
decline of any single one of the i'm
portant industries mentioned, but re-
fleets rather a composite picture of the
condition of them all.
Upon the steel industry itself depends
the welfare of nearly 100000 employees
directly employed in the manufacture
of steel, who with their dependents
number 2,250,000 in the aggregate and
these figures do not take into account
those hundreds of thousands of en-
ployees who are indirectly given en-
ployment through the activities of the
steel industry-in furnishing the raw
materials, and fashioning the countless
articles made from steel These en-
