As the week closes benefic as- poets dominate, according to astrol- ogy. This is a fortunate day in which advertising should be more than usually effective.
 Building and construction pro- fleets are well directed by the stars The year is to add many impressive edifices as well as artistic homes to American cities and countrysides. Saturn is read as presaging sue | cess for workers who will enjoy shorter hours of labor and larger wages, but they are warned against accepting leadership which encour- ages selfish logic.
 Deceit and misrepresentation are encouraged under this rule of the stars, astrologers announce. Indi- lrection and secret planning may be prevalent among orSanaizations of lvarious sorts.
 Success through contracts or agreements signed today is indicat- ed. Architects and builders should profit.
 Women should seek professions and vacations for which they have special talents Also, they will suc- ceed in work formally monopolized 1 by men Great demand for nurses opd dietitiauc ic fnrntold

LEWIS VS. STEEL

The battle between John L. Lewis and steel has started with the calling of a strike in some Pittsburg plants by Lewis Committee of Industrial Organiza ton First immediate reaction was a sharp settling in the stock market Leading stocks dropped off from dollar to four oteel has long been one of the bostering forces or the market and it has been particularly active in recent months as the industry has been enjoying its greatest business since 1929
 With the gauntlet down there are indications pointing to a long seige. Steel has been the prize Labor Leader Lewis has been looking at for several years for the industry has recognized union- ism. Rather. it has been antagonistic. Backed up by the Wagner labor acts collective bargaining clause, Lewis proposes to bring into labor line this business, of the last of the great industries which has re- fused to recognize organized labor
 That it will develop into long struggle is in- dicated Steel has been enjoying tonnage records for more than year Its 1886 business 69 per cent of normal Its oacklogs of orders reported April to be sufficient carry is through the sum- mer if there was no in business At the rate it has been going with ship and armament building throughout the world it's 1887 production fore cast to be the year in it's history since the de- pression.
 Thus steel is armed. It is ready for a war to the finish Lewis is equally well fortified He has been planning for the crusade against the steel industry for long time. He is back with successes in

MODERN ETIQUETTE By Roberta Lee

@. Should a young man resent 1t when the girl in whom he is in terested speaks to young men on the street, with whom she went to school?
 A. Certainly not. If jealousy is the sole reason for his resentment it would be well for the girl to be forwarned and terminate the friendship.
 0. If a guest is on diet, under orders of his physician, may he mo- tify his hostess of the fact?
 A. Yes, it is the only sensible thing to do, so that she will un- derstand why he does not eat cer- tain dishes.
 o. When a written invitation is received for a baby's christening, is a gift customary?
 A. Yes.

A Check on Peeping Toms

(New York Times)
 The House of Representatives has voted by more than two to ore to repeal the noxious provision of the Income Tax Law compelling publication of the salaries corporation officials in of $l5O00 year The vote is gratifying. The provision has never served any useful purpose. It is an invasion of privacy that satisfies only idle or malicious curl Csity It creates official sucker list, of which advantage is taken by all sorts of promoters and racketeers It is not true revelation Of income, for it publishes in effect only earned" and not un- earned" incomes, and it does not indicate what IS left for each individual after deduction of his income taxes It has never helped the Treasury Department to collect more taxes The sole plausible argument for it is that stockhoder has right to know what compensation the officers of his company recev- ing but he already has this under Treasury regu- laon permitting any bona fde stockholder of record owning l per cent or more of the outstanding stock Of any corporation to examine its tax return.
 The provision for salary publicity originated in the Senate More opposition to it's repeal may doubt less be expected from that body than from the House But even the Senate vote in favor of the law in 1884 counting pairs and announcements, was close-47 to 40 Two years of sad experience with the measure should be enough to the number of votes neces- sary to wipe it off the books.

is TRESPASS A RIGHT?
CROSS

Was the temporary settlement of the sitdown
strike in plants of General Motors victory for John
/. Lewis or William Green? That question for the
time beclouds the issue between General Motors
and the strikers.
Mr. Lewis thinks it necessary to proclaim VIC
tory Mr.. Green thinks it necessary to "bemoan
the surrender of Lewis" defeat of labor.
General Motors signs and says nothing. There
is no settlement beyond six months.
Mr.. Lewis undoubtedly wins ground upon whch
TO march on in bituminous coal, in STEEL in the tex

unions form one union, that union to have monop-
oily of labor control. Thus Lewis would be the car
of American labor. He would determine who shall
have jobs and who shall not if there be not JOBS
enough to go around So he might win the presl-
dency of the United States.
Clothed with exclusive right to bargain with en-
ployers, this Lewis union would possess part OF the
power of employers to hire whom they wish as well
as To DENY employment to persons not of their own
choosing Whether that is wise, expedent, right,
need not now be discussed. The facts and the logic
are sufficient for today.

doubtedly maintained successfully fright hth-

and tactfully they treated with the law-breakers'
So violence was avoided.
The settlement is no more than truce on one
sector of countrywide front. Other fighting Will
soon begin. It will soon come into South Carolina.
The issue is the right of private property set
against the newly claimed right of trespass. Shall

WELL FOUNDED FEAR

Like voice in the legislative wilderness, SEN
ator James A. Bell of Charlotte arose in the sem
ate to sound his resentment at social security legs-
lation which, he believes, is fraught with danger.
Although only one against the field, the able and
doughty lawmaker from Mecklenburg commanded
the respectful attention of his colleagues when he
voiced fear that social security is by way of be-
coming political football.
There is appetizng food for thought in his fore
cast that ambitious candidates of the future may
seek office the promise to raise the existing
payments for care of the INDECENT aged In a state
already overburdened with commissions and vari-
Gus agencies to regulate and regiment the lives of
it's citizens his prophecy carries evil foreboding
that should awaken the powers that be to the DEM
ocratic maxim that the people are the real rulers
and that any attempt to use the woes of the aged
poor the young poor for political stepping stones
will rot be tolerated in North Carolina. &
Senator Bell has sounded warming and it comes
at an apt; time-at time when this commonwealth
is too easily disposed to swallow all the nostruns
emanating from Washington. Social security in it
self is highly desirable-but extreme care is vitality
necessary in its administration lest the benefits de-
signed to accrue to the poor shall be mulcted for
dividends to the politically ambtious.-The Raleigh
Times.

will give if it has another opportunity to express
itself on the matter.
1t is not that Massachusetts, condones child la

the states to recognize its essential wckedness 1t
acted promptly and effectively to stamp out the
practice within its boundaries. 1t has partic-
