ONE MANS OPINION

Operation of the National Labor Relations Act IS
creating a myriad of individual resentments, the
cumulative effect of which threatens the whole fab
rc of individual relations in this country, concludes
Douglas G. Woolf, editor of Textile World after
attendance at several National Labor Relations
Board hearings in recent months.
Bitter enmities between families and between
erstwhe friends are being created out of the most
unimportant details imaginable" he states in the
March issue of that publication.
Community unhappiness is being aroused--and
unrest is the keynote before, during and after the
hearings Smart-aleck attitudes of attorneys for
the board, and apparently endless suterance of
those tactics on the part of the examiners, are
making the trials public disgrace. The most ap-
parent lies are given credence and built up into
major causes.
Local lawyers are given opportunity for racket
in the form of taking cases on the chance OF
share of the back-wage awards. Once liberal man.
ufacturers after undergoing weeks of unfair treat
ment become inevitably reactionary These and
dozens of other calamities are the product of the
MIRA and the NLRB."
These resentments, Mr. Woolf emphasizes, are IN
addition to what he calls the fundamental unfair
ness" of the Wagner act.
The discord created by the succession OF charges
and counter-charges and hearings under the NLRA,
he holds, is exactly the opposite of the spirit of
harmony which ''labor relations act should be
expected to produce.-Greenville Piedmont.

NEWSPAPERS OPINIONS
DESCRIBING THE NEW DEAL

The Baltimore Evening Sun consumed "uole
page in editorial discussion of the New Oeai ~
comes to the conclusion that Mr.. Roosevelt lhot-
ley political philosophy teaches that whoever 10
getting on in the world is suspicious charac'e''
and whoever is left behind is hero and martyr
That is about all there is to the New DEAL stripping
it of its surface bufooneries and false pretenses.
Notwithstanding all the persuasive words, not
wthstanding all the assurances, 1.-THE notion thaV
the New Deal is directed at the rich exclusively
or even predominantly, will not bear examination
1t is directed quite as savagey at the small man.
The profits of the little fellow have been pmched
and his security has been menaced, and at the
same time apparent wages have gone up, put real
wages have tended to go down.
Who is the real beneficiary of the New Deal
The farmer? The workingman? The teachers
None Of these, says The Evening Sun. Inc chronic
and incurable incompetent, "bemused all his days
by envy of his betters. Here is the real pet OF the
New Deal, and the keystone of its sngularly ldlotc
moral theology. The rest is only afterthought"
Unfair to the New Deal these expressions? NO.
The New Deal has made the shiftlesS more SHIFT
less. 1t has taught millions of Americans to look
to Washington for support, instead of looking TO
themselves for support of their families and their
government. Thousands of millions of good Amer
lean dollars have been spent in pursuit of counter
felt panaceas. They have been spent and not yet
is the country in the condition of prosperity which
the New Deal magicians promised.
Here in the South where the much discussed
American standard of living is hollow myth,
Washington has made believe that the people were
fattening on federal bounties. All the while 1t has
been sharing the South short All the while it has
been pursuing adventures which bring harm to the
South. The cotton adventure caused the South to
lose control>of the world cotton market and stmu-
lated cotton culture in areas which paid little at
tention to the staple.
Have the American people profted by the New
Deal destruction of cattle, swine and foodstuffs?
How has the consumer Jared in the policy of con-
trolled production? Have his wages increased pur-
chasing power? With millions of Americans unable
to afford butter, how was there surplus of but
ter? And so with other Standardization News
and Courier.

THE COST OF RELIEF

The Central Statistical Board, federal
agency, created for the purpose of supply
ing such information, among other things,
has made public figures on the cost OF
relief in this country for the past five
years.
The Boards figures show that the grand
total expenditures for this purpose since
1888 have been S19,3O3, 100000. This in
clades the total sums expended by local,
State and national governments.
lOf the sum total of relief costs the fed
eral government paid S14,219, 100000.
The per, capita expenditure for relief in
1888 was S12.75; and in 1886 it amounted
to'S41.3O. The total per capita for the en-
tire period is S151.00. This means that re-
lief has cost the average family of five per-
sons $755.O0. -'
Perhaps In, few cases in municipalities
and States the bills for relief have been
finally settled In a majority of cases, no
doubt, the bills remain in the form of debts
which must be paid in years to come by
future generations. More than fourteen
billion dollars expended by the United
States government is a debt against the
people of this country. 1t is a part of the
sum of SO billion dollars which is now the
total debt of the United States.
THE people of this country are now be-
ing taxed by the federal government to the
tun ne of approximately EIGHT BILLION
dollars annually. This unbelievable sum,
= no
count of the Washington government, and
a fair estimate is that the deficit during
the present fiscal year will amount to
TWO BILLION dollars. The national debt
will be increased by that sum and at the
end of the fiscal year the country will owe
approximately FORTY instead of THIRTY
EIGHT billion dollars.

A NATIONAL DISGRACE

prominent American business man and leader

national production today is national disgrace"
And it will continue to be national disgrace as
long as we continue to carry on under the present
official theory of economies that scarcity and Inn
tied production breed demand that VIII bring
forth prosperty--a false doctrine it ever there was
one.

What do you know about the
power of conduct? Have You the
power of conduct? Can you con-
troll your conduct? If you can
you are we'll on the highway to a
high place in the eternal scheme.
Most Of us lack the power to
regulate our conduct. We are
shifted this way and that by this
emotion and that, by this impulse
and that, by this influence and
that. We have no definite pur-
poses and are guided by no fixed
principles. We are like leaves
blown here and there by the
wind. Small wonder we are in
constant turmoil and distress. The
person with his feet on the
ground and his eyes on the stars
will have difficulties as does
everybody else, but he will push
right through them like staunch

PROGRESSING WITH CITY PROBLEMS

Mayor A. V. Edwards, the police depart
ment, and the city commissioners are to be
commended for their efforts to make the
city safer from traffic hazards and to elm
mate traffic congestion in the business dis
trict. ->. ... ...... .... .......,.-y ..
THE posting of signs and patrolling of
the school zones has done much to elimi-
nate the hazards to school children en-
route to and from the schools, and the
recent ordinance zoning truck traffic to
Church street will do much toward elimi-
mating congestion on the city's main bust
ness thoroughfare. .ss
The truck ordinance is in keeping with
re gulationss of other cities and works no
hardship on anyone. Trucks are not incon-
venieneed through the use of Church street
and truck operators have evidenced a will
ihgness to cooperate with this regulation.
One suggestion might be made relative
tOi Church street traffic. Due to the park
ing SYSTEM on Church street between
Fourth and Fifth avenues a bottle meek is
CREATED at the Fourth avenue intersection.
AFearrangenient of parking regulations on
the east side of Church street, beside the
Jackson building, and the parking of cars
parallel to the curb there might do much
tot eliminate congestion at this intersection.

commissioners. they should be commended
