Wants Broader Federal
Regulation of Industry
With Interstate Bust
ness.
ACTION BY CONGRESS
Seeks to Abolish Child
Labor, Shorten Hours,
Raise Starvation Wages

President Roosevelt is now con
sidering plans for government reg
ulation to abolish child labor, short
ening working hours and raisin,
wages.
The program embodies two mai1
principles, but is not worked out il
detail as yet. The first calls for
federal regulatory agency with ex.
tensive powers to set up minimum
wage standards and working hours
applicable to all firms doing an in
terstate business. The second prin.
ciple is intended to bring industrial
production as we'll as distribution
under federal control and will re.
quire action by congress to redefint
the meaning of interstate commerce
Purely local enterprises would be
exempt, but major industries-sucE
as steel, coal, automobiles, and tex
tiles-which vitality affect the en-.
tire nation would be defined as par
of interstate commerce.
An individual firm could escape
regulation only by proving to thu
satisfaction of the commission ane
the courts hat its business wa
predominantly interstate.
1t was reliably reported that con-
gressional leaders already have as
sured the President that the plar
might be quickly enacted if it i
introduced early in this session.
Presidential advisors are conf
dent, however that congress car
redefine interstate commerce If
terms that will be held binding Or
the courts.
Although those who had talkee
to the president said he was strong.
ly inclined toward this type of leg
islation, they made it plain that HI
was eager to consider any othe
scheme congress might advance.
Thomas Corcoran, Reconstruc
ton Finance Corporation attorney
who has long stood high in New
Deal councils was expected to play
a large part in drafting the propos
ed law.
The program was characterize
as an attempt to set an American
labor standard, which could no
be broken by chiselling competi
ton, but to permit unrestrictes
competition above that level.
Mr.. Roosevelt was said in usual,
well-informed sources to oppos
any immediate effort to amend tn
, constitution, On the ground tina
such a procedure would be slow
cumbersome, and unnecessary.

Washlngton--The 18th Congress
which has just begun its first ses-
sion, has plenty of real work ahead
for it. Like its two predecessors ii
will take its guidance from the
White House. There will be much
talk about Congressional indepen-
dence," but it is a safe assumption
that no measures of vital impor-
lance will be initiated Or enacted
by Congress without the approval
of the Administration. Also, most
of the new legislation will be on
the initiative of the President.
That is quite natural, since the
only pattern of plan for the future
is in the Presidents keeping. And
while the plan is not yet fully dis
closed, the general understanding
here is that it will move along sub
stantlally the same lines as during
the past four years. Probably fewer
new ideas will be put into law. At
tention no doubt will be chiefly
centered on consolidating the chan
ges already made and revising the
enactments of the past two Con-
crosses to make the laws more
workable.

Three Factions
In Liquor Fight

Members Of the 1887 general as
sembly are already divided into
three groups on the liquor question,
with the result that the outcome of
the prospective fight over the liq-
uor problem is regarded as being
considerably in doubt, according tc
those who have been studying the
situation. The three groups into
which the general assembly is di'
vided are as follows:
1. The county control group
composed of the II eastern coun.
ties which now have county liquor
stores under the control of county
ABC boards, and the other eastern
counties which want this system
extended.
2. The state liquor control group
composed of most of the piedmon'
and western counties which wan1
liquor stores, but which want
joint state and county control sys'
tenn, similar to that advocated By
the state liquor control commits

ed to any form of liquor contro
and who are generally conceded tt

No longer A Vanishing
Race; In Many Cases
Rate Is Higher Than
Whites.
BETTER MORALE
Confidence that his Race
Not Doomed Has Civ
en- Indian Encourage
ment.

Nc more need we speak with re-
greet of the vanishing American or
refer to the Indian as a rapidly
dwindling race. The truth is, say,
John Collier, Indian Commission,
that in many cases the red brother
is now increasing at a faster rate
than the white man, and has in the
last few years shown a decided gain
in numbers.
More food, better medical care,
increasing resistance to disease, and,
above all, the growing knowledge
that his race is not doomed, that he
has a future, side by side with the
white man, have made the Indian
more prolific and longer lived.
This psychological reason is
most important and significant OF
all, declared Mr.. Collier, for it is
a scientific fact that a feeling of
racial inferiority and adjudication
will deplete population with almost
epidemic speed.
This is why, the commissioner
believes, that the Indians of the
Southwest have led the upswing.
Their tribal roots, he said never
have been torn up. More than any
other tribes, they have preserved
their own customs, their racial in
dividuality and their independence.
Thus they are the first to expand
into the wider horizon which In
dams generally have been offered
recently.
The Navajos, largest or Indian
tribes; the Papagos, all of the Pu-
eblo groups and the one time war
like Apaches are on the increase.
The Peublos are we'll in the lead,
with a population jump last year
of more than 2 per cent. The Nav
ajos are not far behind.
And peculiarly, said Mr.. Collier
the pure blooded Indians generally
are increasing slightly nor than l
per cent a year-or better than the
white average-despite the consid-
cradle percentage of pure stock lost
annually through intermarriage.
Rehabilitation projects, pattern
ed after the governments regular
work relief programs, have restored
the Indians self respect, increased
the volume of his holdings and
taught him valuable trades, said
the commissioner.
Soil conservation and modern
farming methods have increased
his food supply. New hospitals and
enlarged medical facilities have i'm
proved his health, already naturally
bolstered by growing resistance to
the white mans diseases.

Head List of Problems.
Long Session Predicted

Raleigh-The biennial session of
the General Assembly convened
here Wednesday noon, the legisla-
tors facing many difficult prob
lens and issues.
Strife over State control Of liq-
uor or the county option plan IS
certain to be intense, with drys in
sisting upon a statewide referen~
dunn and the II counties now oper-
ating liquor stores opposing any
change. The majority of the state
liquor study commission has recon-
mended county option, with the
state getting one-fifth of the prof
its from sales.
Tobacco crop control, free school
textbooks, labor legislation, posssi-
bic reorganization of the state high
way and public works commission,
possible "autonomizing" of the
three units Of the University of
North Carolina, and a possible
amendment to prohibit diversion of
highway funds are among other
matters expected to be discussed in
the legislative halls.
Record appropriations are recon-
mended to the Assembly in one re-
port of the advisory budget COM
mission, now being printed. Re
quests for $40, 100000 during each
year of the biennium up some ST.
900, 1000 over current spending are
asked.
Possible reduction by $2,50O,0oo
annually of revenue from the sales
tax may add another problem to
the law makers in their attempt to
meet recommended appropriations.
Senator's and representatives are
divided in their opinions as to the
probable length of the 1887 ses-
sion. Lieut. Gov.-elect Horton said
the Legislature still woold be in
session by May 1, but his chief col
league in the Senate, Pres. protein
A. Hall Johnston of Asheville,
stated that 80 days would be suf-
ficient to transact the necessary
business.

MEET IN RALEIGH

The state of North Carolina was
left in no doubt as to the sentiment
of the II "wet" counties that have
had liquor stores during the past
year. They served formal notice
that they would fight any move
ment to take their revenue derived
from alcoholic beverages from them
Opposing state control of liquor
sales, representatives of the counties
meeting in Raleigh passed a reso-
luton asserting management of
stores and law enforcement must
remain local"
No direct reference was made to
a bill drawn up by. the majority of
the state liquor-study commission,
which recommended state supervi-
sion Of county stores and a division
of profits, with the state taking
one-fifth and the counties four
fifths.
The bill, which will be submitted
at the next session of the general
assembly, would allow each of the
states 100 counties to hold separate
elections on the liquor question.
The text of the resolution fol-
lows:
"Whereas II of the counties of
North Carolina have pioneered in
the matter of legal control and
sale of alcoholic beverages, and
"Whereas the cause of temper
ance has been promoted, bootleg
ging and illegal consumption of
alcoholic beverages materially re-
duced, and
"Whereas management Of local
control stores and law enforcement
must remain local, and
"Whereas the state is, through
the sales tax, collecting from II tc
IS per cent of the net profit from
the control stores, and
"Whereas county revenues will
!! be materially reduced by classified
ton of property and exemption OF
| homesteads from taxation, and
"Whereas there is at present .
volunteer association composed Of
all members of the local contro
boards who are working toward CO.
ordinating prices and putting into
= effect uniformity of regulations.
Wherefore, be it resolved, that

troll counties 60 on record as fol
lows:
"1. We oppose the creation Of
any additional offices to be paid fo'
by the state or any political sub
division of the state, to perform
duty hat is already being, and car

ready existing.
-. We concur in the resolution
adopted by the state association o
, county commissioners at its con
vention at Wrightsville in 1885 ant

"That any revenues derived o

alcoholic beverages shall renal

beverages be confined solely to til

HI BIG JOB AHEAD

One of the important jobs to be
done is the reorganization of the
Executive bureaus and departments
Almost every President has tried to
do this, but their efforts have been
generally blocked by Congress.
Just before President Hoover
went out of office he said that
either Congress must keep it,
hands off now, or they must give
to my successor much larger pow
ers of independent action than have
been given to any President" The
response of Congress was to enact
a law, before Mr.. Roosevelt's inau-
guration, vesting in the Presi-
dent broad and sweeping authority
to consolidate, eliminate and rear
range executive bureaus.
Last March the President named
a committee to study and report to
him which of the new agencie,
should be scrapped Or reduced and
how the survivors could be con-
solidated. Committees of the House
and Senate also began to study the
subject. The outlook now is for a
pretty general arrangement of
governmental departments, with
greater efficiency and simplifica-
ton as the main objective.
The main obstacle to a logical re-
grouping of administrative func-
lions may be found in Congress it
self, for the element of political
patronage cannot be overlooked.
Moreover, most of the government
departments and bureaus have well
organized methods of putting
pressure On Congress to increase,
rather than cut down, their powers
and perquisites.
Mr.. Roosevelt stands a better
chance of getting Congressional
support in the face of these power
full "pressure bloc" than any pre-
vious President ever had.

SNUFF BOXES FILLED

Preparations for the opening Of
Congress were completed by the
filing of the two snuff boxes which
stand on either side of the door to
the Senate Chamber. This is an
ancient custom, dating from Geo
w-ashington's time. There are still
four or five Senator's who are regu-
lar snuff-takers, and many more
who take an occasional pinch from
the Senatorial snuff boxes, on the
theory that a good sneeze helps te
ward off an impending cold and
clears the Senatorial head for de-
bate.
The "baby" of the Senate, 80
year old Rush D. Holt. of West
Virginia, is being disciplined by hi
elder colleagues for the Insurgency
which he displayed last year. Mr.
Holt was outspoken in his criticism
of Harry Hopkins, Federal Relief
Administrator, and during the po'
litical campaign he also opposed thu
reelection of Senator M. NJ. Nicely
his Democratic colleague from
West Virginia.

tor Hayden, that he will not b
