NeU CIO Program
May Change Name
BY RODNEY DUTCHER

WASHINGTON Committee
for Industrial Organization, which
will hold its first national conven-
'tion in October, and probably will
change its name, plans to expand
organizing activities again as busi-
ness conditions improve.
The present staff, not counting
officials and organizers on staffs of
its member unions, includes about
260 persons-only a third as many
as CIO had when unemployment
and decline in dues forced curtail-
ment of its ambitious program last
winter.
The CIO budget has been balanc-
ed since February and organizers
retained were the most effective
ones. Hence Chairman John l..
Lewis believes the organization can
expand as rapidly as it contracted.
Recent business improvement,
however, hasn't provided enough
basis for beginning such expansion.
Increase of steel production from
80 to 30 per cent of capacity meant
only three or four hours a week
for steel workers. Lewis, however,
anticipates continued improvement
in steel, spurt in coal after the
coal commission announces a new
price SCHEDULE in November and
other continued upward trends.
The name of the labor alliance
won't be changed much. Present
plans call for retaining the famous
initials. Tentatively being consider
ed are
Congress of Industrial Organiza-
tions.
Confederation of Industrial Or
ganizationS.
The issue of Communism in Ger
tain CIO unions, along with internal
struggles for power with which that
issue sometimes is confusedly en-
twined, seems bound to bother the
convention, at which a permanent
CIO constitution will be adopted.
No one knows how it will be
brought up, but some union head
is likely TO demand a constitutional
provision barring Communists from
holding office or even barring CIO
membership to Communists. The
former policy has been adopted by
Sidney Hillman's Amalgamated
Clothing Workers of America and
the latter by Lewis own United
Mine workers.
Faced with this issue, Homer
Martins fight with other leaders
in the United Automobile Workers
and anti-CIO sentiment in the big

Workers, Lewis will be called on to
demonstrate all his qualities of per-
sonal leadership.

NEXT THEY'LL
SOAK EVERYBODY

If the experience of Carole Lombard,
the screen actress is any indication, the
day is rapidly approaching when federal
and state governments will be forced
to do one of two things: abandon the
popular 'fsoak the rich cry of tax bod
les, or include everyone making over
thousand dollars year in the category
of "rich.''
1t is all very we'll to soak the rich, but
you can't go on doing it endlessly. The
rich are something like a sponge. They
can be soaked only so much then there's
a saturation point. When that point ar
rives, unless governmental expenditures
are curtailed sharply, the average wage
Garner will be the fellow who gets soak
ed-and he's not in a position to take
such a soaking and remain financially
and economically healthy.
We're not particularly sorry for Miss
Lombard, who still has $4,000 year
to live on, but if she is truthful in say
ing she paid more than four-fifths of
her S465, 1000 annual income to federal
and state taxing bodies, it's a pretty
good indication that the takers will have
to look pretty soon for someone else to
soak-and there isn't anyone left but the
average Wage-earner.

Smith repeatedly has been marked
for the New Deal purge" and

CAUSE ORDER
ISSUED AS TO
SCHOOL TAX
Old City School Tax Dis.
trict Question Before
Federal Court

La an order received here today
from federal court in Asheville,
Henderson county officials are di-
rected TO show cause on August
% why they should not be requir-
ed to levy tax sufficient to meet
bonded indebtedness incurred by
the old Hendersonvillc city school
district.
The order is based on judgments
previously granted the Catholic
Order of ForeSters and the Wo-
mems Catholic Order of Fores-
tiers. which hold a portion of the
school bonds. Altogether, about
$500, 900 is involved.
NJ. NJ. Redden, county attorney,
said today that the county will
contend that debts incurred by
the old city school district should
be paid by that district, and that
tax levieS for the purpose should
therefore be made by the city of
HenderSonville. Debts incurred on
behalf of the new district, which
embraces considerable territory
not inside the city limits and not
included in the old district, should
be met by the new district, the
county will argue. The fact that
the county is levying tax to sup
port an added month of school in
the enlarged district will be cited,
Mr.. Redden said.

Montgomery and Zeigler said
some of the iva officials, includ-
ing Evans Dunn, authority attor-
ney in charge of the case, first
had not believed there was any
attempt at fraud" in Berry's
claims for damages to the marble
deposits-to which the senator
and his associates had obtained
leases for dollar each.
There was no "soft pedaling"
of the condemnation suit after
IVA officials concluded there was
an attempt at fraud, Montgomery
and Zeigler insisted. They added
they were instructed "to shoot the
works" on the fraud angle.
John |. Snyder, head of the
IVA land acquisition division,
termed the Cancellation agreement
which was not consummated, as
"silly and innocuous."
"All it said" Snyder testified,
twas that Major Berry would pay
half the expense of hiring an ex-
pert chosen by iva to go over
the marble reports. He would
make no formal report. His find
ings would not be binding or pre-
judicial"

WASHINGTON, Aug. IL. (UP)
Tom Girdler, chairman Of the
board of the Republic Steel cor
poration, yesterday told the SEN
ate Civil Liberties committee that
his company sought to get in step
with labor legislation" but com
planned that New Deal policies
caused industrial turmoil.
Gingerly denying charges of
unfair labor practices hurled at
the corporation by the steel work
ers organizing committee, a Clio
affiliate, Girdler demanded revi-
sion of the Wagner labor act to
permit employers as well as en-
ployes to file complaints and to
make labor responsible for its &C
tons.
The stocky steel head, wearing
dark brown business suit and a
red and black tie, appeared be-
fore the committee in dramatic
defense of his policies during the
period when executives of Little
Steep rallied under his leadership
to resist the CLIO unionization
drive. The Little Steel" strike
in 1887 resulted from the con-
flict.

Hoey To WorkFor
Ballot Reform In
Regular Session

RALEIGH, Aug. 12.-(UP)-
Gov. Clyde R. Hoey served notice
today that he would recommend a
program of election reforms to
the general assembly when it con
vened in regular session in 1889.
The governor commenting OIL
election laws for the first time
since the primaries and the result
ing charges of fraud, did not say
whether he would propose aboli-
ton of the absentee ballot or
qualifications"
He indicated, however, he be-
lieved a new registration would
be "a great aid in removing OPP
portunities for abuse of the alb
sentee ballot" although he said
he was opposed to bringing pro-
posed charges before the special
session.
81 will recommend such changes
as in my opinion after full inves-
tigation will make for cleaner and
fairer elections in North Caro-
lina," Hoey said, land which will
make Irregularities and abuses
more difficult to perpetrate.
"This action will rot be mott

ton but for several years past

should have some definite i'm
