Manteo. July 25.-Rev. G. X.
Proctor. head of the Masonic Or
phanage at oxford. delivered tine
sermon at the special service held
in the amphitheatre at Fort Raj
eigh, this morning.
Despite a cloudburst at the hour
for the beginning it was noted
that the largest congregation yet
to assemble for these services
were present. Under the large
canopy that protected them from
the rain hundreds listened in rapt
attention to one of the finest
ministerial speakers in the state,
Observers noted that more and
more these Sunday morning SER
vices are becoming popular beyond
the confines of Dare county. Un-
till today, most of the audience
has been made up of local people,
the churches on Roanoke Island
giving UP their morning service
in order to attend the special SER
vices at Fort Raleigh.
More than twenty-five percent
of the states in the United States
were represented at the services
this morning. To be exact thirteen
different states license tags were
checked. Of these many stated
they drove long distances this
morning to be here for the service
and expected to stay over for the
pageant Sunday night.
Increasing interest from out
side North Carolina is noted now
in all exercises and in the at
tendance at the pageant-drama.

of show business, she was inspired
from the time she could first tod

that glamorous life. Then. cir

than glamour. She plugged lines
into a switchboard, washed dish

Stewards Higher Law Speech

Stewards higher law speech was
a speech delivered by William H.
Seward during the debates on the
compromise of 1850, in which he
said: The Constitution devotes the
domain to union. to justice, to de-
tense, to welfare, and to liberty.
But there is a higher law than the
Constitution, which regulates our
authority over the domain, and de-
votes it to the same noble purpose.

JOAN CRAWFORD WAS A
TELEPHONE OPERATOR
by Jea q n {

Joan CraWford'S life is an eX-
ample of a girl who had talent,
ambition anu enthusiasm, but who
might never have risen beyond an
ordinary occupation without the
necessary confidence to keep try
ing.
Joan Crawford was born about
1907 in San Antonio, Texas,
daughter of a theater manager.
Most of her play hours were spent
playing "choW,' and she danced
her way through many struggling
years before a real opportunity
came her way. At fourteen, Joan
went to work as a telephone oper-
atcr in Iawton, Okla. Then, she
was sent to a convent in Kansas
City, where she had to earn her
way by acting as a kitchen maid
and waiting on tables. After leav-
ing college, Joan Crawford tound
q lob in a Kansas City depart
ment store as a stock girl at $40
per week during the day and prac-
ticing dancing at night.
Finally a theatrical agent found
job for Joan in a show which
failed a month later, leaving ner
stranded 800 miles from home.
Couragcously, she found Job after
lob in cabarets and night clubs
in Chicago. Detroit, and New
York. She was working in a Chu-
bert SHOW, innocent Eyes" when
a Metro-GoldWyn Mayer executive
saw her and signed her for pic
lures.

ment I don't see why they don't ac-
cept the thesis Of the most revolu-
tionary Communists. Because, after
all, it's the same line Of thinking. The
rich have too much, the poor too little,
| therefore the poor are justified in ex-
propriating the rich by force. The
whole have-not nation argument is an
international soak -the-rich campaign.
But the thesis itself is absurd, be-
cause 1t suggests an economic organi-
zation of the world that does not exist,
has never existed for generations, and
to create which would mean poverty
and misery for everybody. The Nazi
argument, as clearly set forth in Mr..
Hitler's book, which is now the ac-
cepted bible of Nazi politics, is that
Germany is very large country,
without colonies, extremely poor. un-
able to support her existing popula-
ton at proper standard of living on
the land she now possesses, and there
fore justified in expansion. The Italian
Duce has made the same argument
time and again. 1t is also the argu-
ment Of the Japanese.
u. S. Among Have-Nots.
According to this thesis, it is neces-
sary for all nations to be, at least
potentially. self-contained. And, ac-
cording to this argument, all the ma
tions on earth, including our own, are
have-not nations. 1t is only relative
| matter. The United States is the
richest nation on earth in national
| resources, but We do not have on our
own soil the essentials for our basic
industries. We must import tin. nickel,
rubber, mica, antimony, tungsten and
mercury-to name only few things.
Furthermore, all nations constantly
face the fear that at some time in
some future they may become have
not nations. II Mr.. Stuart Chase is to
be believed II think he eXaggerates)
we can already foresee the day when
| many OF our national resources will
be exhausted. A provident and far
sighted nation would, therefore, under
this argument be already preparing
for new conquests in anticipation OF
the time when existing resources are
exhausted. Mexico and the South
American states are near. and rela-
lively weak, and we ought to be SUBJ
jecting them right now, apd boarding
their resources against tomorrow. OF
course, this is not Mr.. Chase's argu-
ment. Rightly he counsels conserva-
| ton.
Britain Heads List.
| Actually under the German Italian
Japanese argument the first have
not nation in the world is Great
Britain. For on the British Isles are
100000 people who would starve in
a few weeks If they were blockaded.
| Britain has on her own islands
almost none Of the basic raw materials
essential to her industries. Most OF
her empire consists Of a common
wealth of sovereign states. She may
make preferential treaties with them
but she has to persuade them that
such treaties will be to their advantage
and hers, and after a short trial o1
empire-preference it is by no means
certain or universally agreed in the

follow economics or customs very
closely may think this is contradictory
but actually 1t is part Of the general
situation today as it affects all labor.
First Of all, it should be explained
that the railroad brotherhood unions
are we'll managed, fully responsible and
conServatively conducted Nobody can
attach to them the stigma Of irrespon-
sibility or radicalism or communism
characterizations frequently attributed
to the c. 1. o. But the membership
drives OF the c. I. o. know no
boundaries. They are seeking to get
q foothold on labor organizations of
all kinds and there are radicals within
the ranks of the railroad brotherhoods
who see the trend of John Lewis
policies and seek to capitalize upon
them.
Net Income Decreased.
The railroad executives find them
selves with less and less net income
due to higher wage costs and higher
prices for commodities and raw
materials they buy for themselves
Likewise the passenger rates are too
low in some instances to give the
roads the revenues they had antici-
pated even though their volume of
traffic has increased. Similarly the
revenues from freight are not as high
as the railroads require and it is a
question how much more they can
increase their gross business, especially
with truck competition.
The railroads have been, therefore,
IN no position to add to their expenses.
They told the representatives of the
workmen the same thing. But the
leaders OF the unions were being
pressed from within. They had asked
for 20 cents an hour increase. The
railroads had to do something-ttley
agreed to about cents.
Examining the way the increase was
spread, it will be noted that the men
in the lower brackets got a bigger pro-
portion of the increase than hereto
fore. The eyes Of the negotia tors were
on the numerical side Of the equation.
But when it came to paying for the
$35, Don 900 addition to expense. each
road was left with its own problem.
To balance budgets or at least to keep
deficits from growing, there had to be
economies. The seniority rule on the
railroads prevails when lay-offs begin.
The worker who has come on the pay
roll last goes off first Hence the men
who have a vested interest in the
seniority system, who benefit by it.,
can force their wages up while the
more recent employees must take the
consequences II economies cause men
TO be laid of.
Parallel in Auto Plants.
Somewhat the same situation pre-
walls in Western automobile factory
where the labor union limits its mem
bership permanently to SIS per cent of
the total number of employees, but re-
quires the other As per cent to pay
dues for the privilege of being con-
sidered union men. When there are

while at the same time FORCING other
workmen out of jobs altogether?
1t will be contended that the
seniority groups do not consciously
force anybody into unemployment,
but, when their representatives insist
on wage increases beyond the capacity
Of employers to pay and the only way
out is to cut down the total force so
as to care for the pay roll increases,
then the effect of the negotiation is to
create unemployment.
In lesser way the experience OF
the railroads with the negotiators for
their employees is repeated in many in
dustries and businesses. Pay roll in
creases are forced under threat of
strikes. The demands are agreed to
and then the employers, faced by q
diminishing volume Of business in q
downward trend, find it necessary to
cut some employees off altogether.
