Cars Unhurt: Say

SHANGHAI. Oct. IL. (UP)
Three British embassy mo-
tor cars, flying the union
Jack. were attacked today by.
airplanes on the road from
Nanking to Shanghai, where less
than six weeks ago an airplana
attach on the British amhaSsador
to China caused q British-Japsnese
crisis.
Members of the embassy party
said that the planes were Japapose.
Arriving here they went at once
into emergency conference with
other embassy and consulate general
cfficials-and, in token of their con-
victicn that tho planes were Japa-
nPse. notified the Jananese consul
late general of the attack.
None Of the partv was wounded.
Suspncting an attack. Braham
said, all members Of the party left
the cars and scattered to fields
alongside the road.
The incident today was regarded
all the more seriously because it
was learned that the British en-
basSy notified japanese authorities
that the cars were leaving Marking
for Shanghai In the previous in
ci1ent japanese insisted that there
had been no such notification.
1t was believed certain that Great
Britain would protest to Japan.
Only recently did Britain close the
dangerous incident precipitated by
a japanese airplane attack on the
automobile in which Sir Hughe
Knatchbull- -Hugessen, British am
bassador to China, was driving
along the same roads-from Nam
king to Shanghai on August 26.
Savage fighting broke out on the
Shanghai front today.
Throughout last night and the
early hours of this morning artil-
lery, naval guns and machine guns
were roaring around Shanghai.

as the vitallv-interested growers them
selves, will have a keen interest in,
finding out whether prices will hold
up in the face, Of the big crop.
During the 1887 legislative session
there was great hubbub about the inn
perative necessity for some form Of
tobacco acreage control, and com
pacts'' measures held the, centre of
the stage for quite a while. After
weeks of controversy, conversation,
contention and compromise, North
Carolina finally put, a control measure
on it's statute. books, only to have the
whole thing pullified by refusal OF
Georgia and South Carolina to- come
into the fold and cooperate.
At the time there were dire predic-
tions of disaster Many who have been
in the tobacco business all their lives
forecast that the markets would be
closed soon after opening while the
growers rushed frantically to Wash
ington for aid
Since then improving business con-
ditions have allayed many, If not
most, of these fears. The consensus
at present seems to be that weed
prices will be about as good as last
year when North Cardinals border
belt crop averaged slightly better than
20 cents per pound. But just the same
there is great interest in what an
uncontrolled crop will bring.

Raleigh, Aug. 1O-Hundreds OF dol
lars are being paid out each year on
workers in North Carolina from winch Z
these workers will receive no creole
and no benefit, because employers
with home offices in other states
have less than eight employees IN TINS
State, but do not have more IMAM
eight in their home offices and IN
other states, said Charles G. Powell,
chairman of the N. c. Unemployment
Compensation Commission, today
Unless an employer has as many as
eight employees in North Carolina ne
does not come under the provision oi
the North Carolina act. Mr.. Powell
said. However, if he has as many as
eight employees in the United States,
he comes under the Federal act ana IS
required to pay the full two per cent
to the u. S. collector of internal reXe-
nue.. This payment goes into the
Federal treasury and the individual
employee gets no benefit from IT, the
law provides.
IF an employing firm has it's home
office in New York, for example, and
has enough employees there to come
under the state act, it pays on the
employees in that State, or if it has
as many as eight employees scatter
ed over several states, it is required
to pay to the Federal government the
two per cent for this year on the
payroll of it's employees. In the latter
case, the employees get no credit or
benefit from these payments.
However, if the New York firm,
with as many as eight employees scat
tered in one or more states, with, for
example, one, two or seven employees
in North Carolina, it can apply for
voluntary coverage, and normally the
North Carolina Commission will per
NIT the firm to come under the act.
It then pays on it's payroll for work
ers in this State, and they are credit
ed with these payments, Mr.. Powell
| points out.
| Mr.. Powell suggests that resident
| North Carolina workers for out-of-
| state firms, make more than their
firms seek voluntary coverage for
| them under the state law, SO they
will get the benefits of the payments
their employer have to- make anyway.

Fletcher pointed out.
"There are some very sound rea-
sons why there should be a wage diff
ferential between the South and the
highly industrialized North" Major
Fletcher said, "and the board should
keep these reasons in mind when it
comes time for it. to fix wages"
In the South, Major Fletcher point
ed out as an example, practically all
the industrial plants provide their la
Dor with houses at unusually low rem
tai charges. This practice is virtually
unknown in the North where the COM
panies which furnish housing facili-
ties for their employees base their rem
tails on those ordinarily charged.
"Most North Carolina industries
rent houses to their employees for less
than 81 per room per month, on. the
average" said Major Fletcher. so far

able to this cheap rate in the North. .
