THE lack-COnnery, or more
generally known as the
Wagcs-Hours bill, is moving
WHAT
WAGES?


swiftly toward passage. There
will be some tinkcring with it before it ac-
tually becomes a law, but it will be much
in the form in which it left the Senate last
week
A fvc-man administrative board will fix
hours and wages for industries engaged in
Interstate commerce. this board forbidden
from fixing minimum wages above 40 cents
an hour and from fixing minimum hours
below 10 a week.
Industries like the Southern pine lumber
industry with a 50-hour week and wages
as low as a dollar a day have so long op-
Grated on low wages and long hours that
they will have great difficulty in adjusting
wages. The result is that we shall likely see
an increase in the number of small ground
mills, commonly known as ''peckerwood
mills" This type of mill flOurished under
the Blue Eagle which was supposed to cover
them. They will prosper under an act which
' does not embrace them because they do not
engage in interstate commerce. The South
ern pine lumber industry may be in the
thrOes of a revolution
And now the ClO enters the picture. The
lot of the Southern lumberman is not an
enviable one
Still, the Southern hImberman can safely
demand lower minimum wage than the
wage that may be prescribed for the North
All the Southern lumberman needs for argll-
ment is to produce the wage schedules of
the Works Progress Administration. The
WPA didn't fix one schedule of wages for
the whole country; its wage schedules were
determined upon the basis of living costs,
State by State. and as to residence of labor

Standards Board created by the Black-Con-
merry Act functions fairly and squarely, it

KING OUT North Carolina Farm Bureau
Federation, Senator Josiah
William Bailey suggests that the Commod-
itv Credit Corporation has the power ana
the money to lend money OH cotton at the
rate of II cents pound and thaht at one
word from the President this will be done
Farm Bureau Federation executives prob
ably will make the most of the suggestion.
The worst feature of the farm price pic
ture i'm America today is the downward tend
encv of the price of cotton ,as pointed out
bv Senator Bailey Otherwise the farmer IS
sitting pretty. Right here in our own little
corner of the State farmers stand to recover
from corn, sovbeanS, livestock and other
farm produce going on the market this fall.
much of the losses sustained by reason of
the failure of our recent early Irish potato
crop to return profit.
But the lesson is obvious: The small
planter here in the South must abandon
cotton Here in Pasquotank County we have
made impressive reductions in cotton acre
age in recent years. PasquOtank today is
little effected by the price of cotton.
With other countries increasing their cot
ton acreage and with the threat of the me-
chanical cotton picker hanging over the
heads of tenants and share-crOpperS like
the sword of Damocles, it is folly for the
small farmer to continue to gamble on cot
ton. Cotton is going the way of other kings

passed the senate.
The senate received a bill by
NOEL of Person to provide equal
educational advantages to persons
barred from North Carolina insti-
tutions. Should a person seeking
"higher education" be prohibited
from attending q state institution,
the state would pay the difference
between the cost of attending the
state school and the one which
the student was forced to attend
out Of state.
Another measure, introduced by
Gravely of Nash, would appropri-
ate S250,O0O for the systematic
advertising of North Carolina pre-
paratorv to state exposition.
The move was recommended by
Gov. Hoey and the bill was re-
ferred to the committee on con-
servation and development, which
will meet in joint session with the
house group tomorrow.

navy officer who said she was as
saulted Sunday night in garage
near her home. last night said
they would continue the inveSti-
cation until "every clue is eX-
hausted."
Police Chief William A. Ga
brielson said Mrs. Coping "still
is hazy regarding many of the
details, and we do not have the
slightest clue to the identity of
the reported asSailant.'
Similarity of the case to the
sensational MaSsie case five years
ago, in which Mrs. Thalie Massie,
also wife of a navy officer, said
she was picked up and attacked
by give natives" caused police
to bend every effort to clear up
the case.

Forced Down By
Storm In Desert

BAGHDAD, IraQ, Feb. Is. -
(UP).-Colonel and Mrs. Charles
A. Lindbergh flew from Rutbah
Wells, Iraq, to BaSrah, lraq, at
the upper end of the Persian gull
today and took off half an hour
later for Bahrein, British island In
the gulf on the way TO India.
After night at Rutbah Wells,
where they took refuge from a
dangerous sand storm, the Lind
berghs flew 400 miles to BaSrah,
across the desert and down the
Euphrates.

(UP).-Col. and Mrs. Charles A.
Lindbergh, en- route to Baghdad
in their orange and black mono
plane on a vacation iaunt, were
forced down in the middle Of the
Syrian desert last night by a
binding sandstone.
They landed at the Oasis of
Rutbah Wells, slightly south of
the Damascus Baghdad desert
trail, and took refuge in a rest
house, waiting for the storm to
subside.
Lindbergh climbed above the
sandstone, turned about and re-
turned to Rutbah Wells, about $50
miles west of here.
The flying couple took off from
Cairo at 1890 a. m. $3.50 a. m.
