Fast Filling

Durham Sept. 12-(AP)-The chant
of the tobacco auctioneer will move
northward again Tuesday as another
North Carolina tobacco belt, the Mid
die Belt, opens its 1888 season.
The markets i9 the belt are Dur

Springs, Henderson. Louisburg, Ok
ford, Sanford and Warrenton. Last
year Middle and Old Belt farmers
sold their crop of 192,O0O,OOO pounds
at an average price of $23.01 per hum

cast the opening day price range on
the Middle Belt, since prices recently
have slumped on the New Bright Belt

for the Middle Belt season was Top

Capital, Labor

BY CHARLES p. STEWART
Central Press COIumniSt

Washington, Sept 1.-THE recent
report by President Roosevelt's COM
mission, appointed to study European
relationships between capital and Ia
Dor, gives the superficial impression
that the English system is superior
to our own.
Other countries, especially the
Scandinavia, remain to be investi-
gated Britain is as far as the COM
mission has progressed to date.
Anyway it appears that industrial
employers and employees on the flight
little island" on an average get along
with one another more tremendously
than employers and employees do
here.
However, an analysis of the report
doesn't bear out the conclusion that
the English, system is so much better
than Americas. Seemingly the "sys-
TENS" are not widely different. APP
parently the real difference is that
English employerdom, on the one
hand, and England's organized work
ers, on the opposite hand, are mutual
ly more accommodating and coopera-
tive than the two contrasting groups
are in the United States.

Time was when English bosses and
their toilers were in as bitter conflict
with one another as ever they have
been here-and often are now.
For one thing were a newer coun-

have been through a shaking-down
process which we still are experience
ing, though even here our capital

as once they were.

Outlook Good
For Prices
OF Livestock
Daily DispaJch Bureau,
In The Sir Walter Hotel.

Raleigh, Sept. 12.-New enthusiasm
in the cattle trade has led to belief
that prices FOR livestock of all kinds
are likely to fall no lower and prob
ably to go higher during the fall, ac-
cording to Paul L. Fletcher, livestock
marketing specialist of the North Car
DINA Department of Agriculture.
"With a new top of $13s35 for fed
cattle having been scored. one school
of market thought contends that
stocker and feeder cattle will not sell
any lower this fall', said Fletcher.
ssHowever, the more conservative
wing of thought holds the view that
stoclxer and feeder prices are still too
high, and that higher prices are out
of the question unless cattle brought
are to be fed and sold at a loss, as
was true last winter"
Fletcher points out that feeders are
scarce as compared with available
feed. but the conservative wing, he
saws. points to strong tendency for
the finished cattle market to head in
to a recession around September 20
after enjoying late August and early
September boom.
Much of the recent price gain is

fear the part the European military

Thus it was in 1914. The story of

Ill a two-hour emergency meeting to-
day that it has done all it could for
the moment, both. to head off war and
to be ready if Adolf Hitler tells his
army to march to the east.
Official silence effectively blocked
efforts to learn what the ministers
said and did. But the fact that they
decided not to meet later today was
taken unofficially to mean they were
convinced that further diplomatic
steps before Hitler's address at
Nurnberg would be futile.
Encouraged by a political and pub
lie support on all sides, the cabinet
was believed to have given first place
to military steps if Britain warnings
proved ineffective and there develops
a likelihood of war over Czechoslova-
kia.
The ministers were said to feel that
they had taken every step advisable
in advance of the speech to convince
Germany that Britain would fight
at the moment Frances integrity
were menaced.
They were understood to have rc-
