NEW STUNT IS SUGGESTED BY
 NUCBDPW HEAD
Apparently Crazy Idea Is Further Explained by
 A. P. Writer
By PRESTON GROVER

WASHINGTON, Aug 14.-Before another election time comes around Walter L. Williams of Millinocket, Me, wants to have all Democratic party workers organized on an in- dustrial union basis so they can bargain collectively for division of patronage jobs.
 Williams, as president of the Na- tional Union for Collective Bar gaining of Democratic Party Work 'ers, says he already has signed up 22,000 party workers disgrunkled with the way party bosses control job distribution without reference to the rank and file.
 Tn accordance with the cherished principles of American democracy" says Williams, the endorsement of Ia majority of the party workers in any given political subdivision does and should carry more force than the endorsement of any individual or minority group in that political subdivision.
 APPEAL
 Williams and attractive Mrs. Ernest Krieger of Warwick, R. l., carried their case straight to Dem ocratic headquarters and evidently ran head on into blunt Charlie Michaelson, master publicity man. He told them to put their ideas in writing and send them to the Ma tional Committee. But he said if was not likely the party officials would surrender any of their per- ogatives of management.
 Williams, who seems to have a government job of no particular im- portance, asks that party workers be given a citation for work per- formed for the party. The citation would grade the worker according to what he has done for the party, and give him claim on the kind of job his work merited, regardless of whether he stood in with the ward boss.
 He does not set out the grada- tions of merit, but might find it suitable to grade the workers ser vice something in the manner of movie reviewers with one, two, three or four star ratings.
 
 STARRING 'EM
 We would suggest:
 One star-Good for third class postmaster, or foreman on a WPA project. Something paying around $100 to $125 a month.
 Two star-Good for a job as as- Isistant internal revenue collector, ior minor executive post in the De- partment of Agriculture or REC. at $200 to $250 month.
 Three star-Good for a pretty trim job, such as Internal Revenue collector for a state, executive sec retary to some federal board, or state director of WPA or Social &c., curity, s5,0O0 to $7,ooo year
 Four star-Good for a top flight job as appointment to the Federal Trade Commission, the Labor Me- diation Board or International Boundary Commission, where the pay is about $10,O00 a year.

Washington, Dec. 1.--(AP)-A be-
hind-the-scenes struggle over crop
control and wage-hour bills. threw
House members today into such tur-
moil that some legislators said both
measures might be endangered.
Representatives of urban and in
dustrial districts indicated they would
try to strike cotton provisions from
the farm bill unless southern collea-
CUES helped get vote on the labor

The labor bloc arranged to. organize

fortnight The rules committee has
prevented House reconsideration ever
since the Senate passed the bill last
summer.
Although Mrs. Norton said "dou-
BILE edged sword" might kill farm and
labor ILLS, House leaders declared
they were not worried about either.
In corridor conferences, however,
the movement to scuttle the farm bill
picked up momentum.
The Senate, continuing debate on
farm legislation, heard today an ar
guement that cheaper money would
increase agricultural prices and halt
the downward trend in economic
induces.
Senator Thomas, Democrat, Okla
homa, asserted, "the farm program is
a price problem, and outlined. his
proposal to give the Federal Reserve
Board authority to- hike prices by
cheapening the dollar.
The board would he expected to
stabilize the price level at point not
lower than the 1886 level. Meantime,

Raleigh, Dec. Total State and
local taxes in North Carolina were
me highest in history for the fiscal
year ended June 80, 1937-and they
are still going up.
When the total tax bill of the State
reached $106,534, $50 for 1867 it was
tne second time in history that it had
passed the hundred million mark, &C
cordlng to figures compiled by Henry

magazine of the Institute.
This total tax bilr' includes taxes
actually collected by the State and

therefore, that the tax receipts of all
