EXCUSES PATROLS
MECKE ENBURG RAID
Farmer Says State Police SUPPOSED
TO Respond When Called BY
Local Officers
Daily aDisDarch Bureau.
In the Sir Walter Hotel.


Raleigh, Feb. 16.-The State High
way Patrol must cooperate with all
existing law enforcement agencies
Whenever called upon to do so, al
though it's primary job is to patrol
the highways and enforce traffic laws
Cap tai1 Charles D. Farmer, its COM
manoer, pointed out today. AS a re.
suit, Lieutenant r. Fisher and the
patrolnnen who worked with him in
making a number of liquor raids in
Mecix]enbarg county last week were
acting in accordance with the law,
since their assistance had been ask
ed by County Solicitor J. Merrill Long
The law states expressly that the
highway patrol "shall' cooperate with
all of the courts, court officials and
other law officers whenever called
upon to do so. So when the Mecklen-
burg county solicitor called upon
Lieut. Fisher and his men to help him
make raids on suspected liquor joints
in Mecklenburg county, there was
nothing else for the patrolmen to do
but comply, Capt. Farmer said
mot only do highway patrolmen
have the status of peace officers at
~AAA CAAAHOoJ WILL CAlC POWCA " N1Ac1hC oil
rests for any law violations, but
Chapter 1924, Sections 3, 4, and of
the Consolidated Statutes, further
make it mandatory for patrolmen to
assist other law enforcement officers,
including solicitors and judges, when
ever called upon for any specific
duty, Assistant Attorney General S.
Wade Bruton, attached to the De
partment of Revenue, said today. $50
when Lieut.. Fisher was asked to
make these raids in Mecklenburg
county, there was nothing else for
him to do lout comply. In fact, he
would have violated the law if he had
refused to comply"
Thus while it is supposed to be the
duty of local officers-the sheriffs
and their duties-to enforce laws
other than the highway laws, high
way patrolmen must cooperate with
any of these officers whenever called
upon. 1t is being intimated here that
the reason the Mecklenburg county
solicitor called on the highway patrol
to make these liquor raids instead of
the sheriff or Mecklenburg county
rural police, was because the county
officers were not in sympathy with
the raids.

TEXTILE ACT
Is Reintroduced; Unions
Work to Pass Measure

Washington, D. C. (ILNs)-The
national textile act bill has been re-
introduced in congress by Represen-
tative Henry Ellenbogen, of Pennsyl-
vania.
Emil Rieve, president of the Amer
ican Federation of Hosiery Workers
and the officers of the United Textile
Workers have already launched ma
tion-wide campaign to secure early
passage of this bill for which vigor-
Gus fight was made at the last ses on
of congress.
The national textile act bill, as it
now stands, is very much the same
bill that was originally introduced in
congress at the last session. The bill
seeks to rehabilitate and stabilize the
textile and hosiery industries by set
eng up basic and nationally uniform
projections for the million and half
persons employed in the industries.
Under the act textile commission
OF five, appointed by the president
would fix minimum rates Of pay for
all classifcations Of workers, ire
spective Of age, sex, or location.
Until the commission can fix mini
mum rates the law provides for aba
sic rate Of $500 week for the least
skilled Minimum rates will be estab-
lished for various occupational classi-
fications as was the case under the
NRA hosiery code.
Maximum hours will be 35 per week.
The American Federation of Hos
iery Workers will formally launch its
campaign at the national convention
Of the federation to open in Washing
ton the week Of January 25. However,
the officers Of the union are already
actively pushing the drive to mobilize
public support for the measure.

APPEAL TO TRAPPERS

Columbus, Ohio.-An appeal to

missioner L. Wooddell, after a survey
by conservation division field men in
dicated heavy fur catches. Commits
sioner Wooddell declared that the
value of furs taken in the state this
season would be the highest in recent
Ohio history.
Mild weather and good game
crop have contributed toward an un-
usually heavy catch of furs," Commits
sioner Wooddell said Several buyers
Of furs have reported purchases to
date far in excess of the entire sea-
sons purchass a year ago.
IF the present weather conditions
continue the fur crop is in danger Of
depletion to a point where the breeder
will be endangered. If that happens
the fur industry will be affected for
generations to come. Muskrats, par
ticularly, are suffering; but other spe-
cies also are in danger"

SOCIAL SECURITY
Act Ruled Valid By Federal
Court

Birmingham MISREPRESENTATION
tionality of the federal social security
act was upheld today by Federal Judge
David J. Davis, of the Northern Ala
bama district court.
In an informal brief the judge de-
MED the petition of Alabama firms
seeking to enjoin the collector of in
ternal revenue from collecting the
compensation insurance tax levied on
employers under the act. Tie deci-
sion, although informal, was detail
ed defense of the laws constitution
ality.
"The most strict constructionist
would not deny that congress has the
power under the general welfare
clause of the constitution to levy and
collect an excise tax such as prescrib-
ed in this act" Judge Davis said.
He then recited the Calamity" of
the depression ITO relieve the situa-
tion," he continued, "the federal gov
ernment spent billions of dollars. Can
it with reason be said that congress
cannot levy an excise tax on the priv
ilege of employing others to aid in the
prevention of a recurrence of such a
calamity and the alleviation of its
hardships should they come again?'
Courts have definitely determined
that congress can levy for the general
welfare, the judge declared. Other
wise, he said, the general welfare
clause of the constitution would be
meaningless.
The suit was brought by the Beeland
Wholesale Company, and the Alpha
Portland Cement Company, corpora
tion, and others.

THE SAFETY CORNER

In 1886 there were 962 workers
killed in the industries Of Ohio, not
including railroad workers, and 163,-
610 others suffered injury or occupa-
tional disease.
Most of these accidents were pre-
ventable. By observing the following
rules each worker will be helping to
make safety reality in Ohio.
l. Think before you act.
2. Don't gamble with your health
or your life.
3. Report all conditions of a haz-
ardous nature to your superintendent
4. If you have something to do, dc
it right.
5. If you break the skin on any part
of your body, take care of it at once
by washing the wound and applying
mercurochrome or iodine.
6. Don't attempt to show off your
strength or your agility. Your van
ity may be satisfied but you may never
lift or be agile again
z. Your hands, feet, eyes and health
are something that money cannot buy
and money cannot replace.
FORETHOUGHT instead of after
thought is the keynote to safety.

law was resumed in the introduction
of House Bill No. 71-Mr Disable,
