VIASHINGTON.-The Roosevelt
w appeal for C. 1. GA. F. of J..
peace hasn't brought it a bit
nearer.
There just isn't any peace in
sight or even in the wind.
The chief reason is that no one
can devise a formula by which the
two groups can reunite without
giving one or the other an upper
hand. A. F. of l.. leaders would
have every reason to expect an
end to their control if they took
c. I. O.,s millions in on an equal
voting footing. c. l. o. leaders are
sure many of their unions would
be raided and carved up if they
joined A. F. Of L. on any other
basis.
John L. Lewis stands on the as
sertion that G.. !. o. would move
into the A. F. Of L. tomorrow"
if each c. /. o. unit We're prom
ised a charter similar to those of
other A. F. of l.. unions, with the
further provision that jurisdic-
tional disputes be settled by the
unions involved,
Unlikelihood of an early merger
doesn't mean there's no chance of
cessation of name-calling and
warfare between the two groups,
as suggested by Mr.. Roosevelt.
But events at the A. F. of L. con-
vcntion indicate there's no imme-
date prospect of that.
Labor's chief victory in recent
months has been the success of
Sidney Hillman, widely known as
"labor's statesman" long before

u. S. RAISES FOURTH
OF WORLDS ORANGES

BERKELEY, Cal. oct. H.
(UP)-Out Of 4 total world pro
duction of 2OG,000.00U boxes Of
oranges annually, the United
States is now producing slightly
more than onc-fourth OF this
amount, a survey of the orange
industry by the University Of Cal
ifornia reveals.
Oranges, it is pointed out, are
produced on all five Of the CONT
nents but because Of climatic
requirements, their growth IS re-
stricted to the tropical, SEMI
tropical and Sub-tropical coun-
tries.
Approximately ~ per cent Of
the more than 50,OOO.000 boxes
produced annually in the United
States are from California and
Florida, the former producing 81
per cent of the total and the LAY
ter 35 per cent. Texas. Arizona,
Louisiana, Alabama and MississIp-
pi are the other orange producing
states.
In California. oranges are pro
duced on approximately $4,000
farms. comprising 23S,G00 acres
of orange trees in more than 81
countries.
The survey said that conSump,
ton Of oranges in the United
. States has increased steadily with
the rise IN production. During the
decade following 1925 the con
sumption increased from 10 to It

WHEN BETTER TIMES COME BUSINESS
WILL BRING THEM
hat helms Business helps you.

what nelQS buSlUeSS uelpS gOu.
This is true no matter who you are,
where you live in the United States, what
you are doing, or if you happen not to be
doing anything.
When better times come Business will
bring them.
This is as true as the first proposition
and is as widespread in its application.
In view of these truths and facts the
common-sense, practical course for all citi-
zens of this country who are interested IN
their own and the general welfare, would
seem to be to show some interest In the
condition of business, in the progress and
success of business, in giving business
fair showing and ample opportunity to go
ahead.
If what helps Business helps every indi-
vidual and the people of the nation as a
whole, then helping Business ought to be
everybody's business 1t ought to be the
chief concern of individuals and of all
groups and classes.
When better times come Business will
bring them.
The country has had eight years of eff
fort to change conditions and bring in the
era of better times by other methods, ex-
periments, schemes, tricks; by talk, propa-
ganda, ballyhoo; by efforts to compel the
country to lift it's total weight by it's own
bootstraps-and last, but not least, the al
legged best bet of all, the expenditure of
around TWENTY-FIVE THOUSAND MIL
LION DOLLARS of public money on the
experiments, tricks and sleight-of-hand
performances.
What is the sum total of results?
Business has not been helped. 1t has
been hurt to the extent of the loss of bill
hons of dollars to every line of business
and industry in the country, the loss fall
ing on owners and management and work
ers. In fact, many businesses throughout
the country have been done to death by the
past eight years; and many others are be-
ing slowly strangled.
Better times have not returned to the
country.
Billions of the country's capital, which
makes it possible to carry on, do business
and expand its business and prosper, has
disappeared. 1t has gone with the wind. It
has been dissipated and destroyed by the
controlling policies of the nation.
Another proof that better times have not
returned is the,fact that unemployment OF
workers is said to be now the largest since
the depression started in 1929. The NUM-
Der of unemployed is greater than at the
beginning of the depression or at any time
in the past eight years-at least, it is sale
that the number of persons on relief meas
ures the total of unemployed and that the
figures make this showing.
After eight or nine years of the sort O.
experiences the country has had, it seem!
that all intelligent, right-thinking people
would be convinced that what helps Bust
ness helps the country - that the only
course that will help the country is that o.
helping Business-and

the privilege Of sitting in on the
monthly gabfest of the weekly
publishers of Western Carolina
Saturday night. They are always
planning, at least the more prog
ressive ones are, for greater serv!-
ice and wide interest for their
subscribers. Their latest trend
seems to be in the way of more
local pictures. A syndicated, gen
eral picture service is readily OBJ
tainablc at reasonable cost but
the expense of local pictures from
engravings has been too great for
the average newspaper TO indulge
in them to any great extent.
The trades have brought forth
small engraving plants that make
it possible to make local pictures
i'm their own plants while hereto
fore such service had to be order
ed from other cities.

THE NEW THING: Looked in
on the Fletcher Grange last night.
This is something distinctly diff
ferent in the way of rural organi-
cations. Fletcher, Mills River and

a year, meeting monthly for closer

business. These organizations
stand out in the front lines of
community thought and action
like the luncheon and other civic
organizations of the city and give
their communities means of ex-
pressing themselves in matters Of
communicative interest. They
hold out great possibilities for

MONOPOLY CURB

0'Mahoney Predicts Aids
to Business Through
Senate Inquiry.
BY the Associated Press. -

BY the Associated Press
Senator O'Mahoney, Democrat, Of
Wyoming, predicted today the Fed
eral antitrust inquiry would improve
business conditions by replacing the
spending-lending program with per-
manent monopoly restrictions.
Returning from a Western trip on
which he conferred with several
prominent business men and indus
trialists, the Unemployment Commit
tee chairman said:
Among business leaders there is a
growing conviction that a constructive
antitrust law must be adopted, and
they are ready to cooperate in the
enactment of such law
Must Consolidate Gains.
Everywhere there is revival Of
business, attributed to the Govern
ment spending program. But busi-
ness men and the people generally
have come to realize that when the
spending program ends it will be nee
essary to substitute for it new pro-
gram based on the internal forces of
private business.
THE country is going to CONSOLE
date the gains that have been made.

that out Of the study the committee
has undertaken will come a permanent
solution"
The 12-member Investigating Com
mittee which Senator O'Mahoney
heads probably will begin public hear
ings this fall. Studies on many
phases Of the monopoly problem have
been going forward under the direc-
ton Of the committeeman from six
Government departments.
Employment to Be Studied.
General business problems also will
receive attention this fall from the
Senate Committee an Unemployment
and Relief, which began hearings last
winter.
Senator Murray, Democrat, of Mon
tana, a member of that group, sug-
gested today that the Government CO.
operate with business in esta ablishing
system of continuous industrial en-
ployment. -
Tax reductions, he said, might be
offered to businesses which guarantee
full years work and wages to their
employees.
.'1 believe that this plan would open
the road to a permanent solution OF
the unemployment problem, which
is the biggest problem confronting the
country today" Senator Murray de-
clared.
He said the committees previous
study Of the annual wage plan indi-
Gated that it worked successfully in
those industries which had tried it.
Under this system laborers would be
paid by the year instead of by the
hour.
Senator Murray agreed with Senator
OMahoney that the impetus given by
Government spending had boosted
business all over the country. A sharp
business upturn by fall. he predicted,
may alter the unemployment situation
materially.
