thought the committeeman would no,
resent such an expression.
When the President recently outlined
his views on the tax-revision bill In q
letter to the conferees, some criticism

cality, just as the Walsh Healey Act
makes similar provision for workers on
Government contracts.
Metcalfe Walling of the Labor De-
partment, who administers the Walsh
Healey Act, said in an interview that
Southern wages and low wages are not
necessarily synonymous.
Pay often varies more among differ

different parts of the Nation, he said
One hosiery firm in Georgia pays its
employees an average of 4s1 cents an
hour; another hosiery firm in the same
State pays an average of 213 cents
Wages Of hosiery workers in New Yorl
State vary from 244 cents per hour to
49.7 cents.
The lowest wage SO far accepted un.
der the Walsh-H -Healey Act is 32.5 cents
an hour in mems underwear factories
in the South. In the North this wage
was settled at IS cents.

Live Match Held
Over Small Hole
In Tank Is Cause
Nearby Buildings In Danger I'm
til Burning Structure Is
Moved BY Driver.
CAUSES EXCITEMENT
BY RAYMOND .LOWERY

About 9:45 Monday night West
Jefferson residents heard an ex-
plosion that caused their homes to
tremble and number of window
lights to shatter. Some thought an
earthquake had struck town. A
large truck carrying load Of liquid
tar, belonging to the Tyler Con-
struction Company, had caught fire
and exploded at the government
stockyard, near the Norfolk Western
sidetracks.
Truck driver Eugene Craven and
his companion, Henry Curlee, had
just finished filling the enormous
truck-tank from reservoir on a fiat
car resting on 4 sidetrack di-
rectly behind the West Jefferson de-
pot. Craven climbed on top of the
tank, struck a match, and peered in
side to see if it was filled. It was.
Before he had time to jump clear
of the tank flames were spreading
over the truck and climbing toward
the sky. He suffered painful burns
on his hands and arms.
Fortunate for both of the drivers,
however, they were out of the way
when the big explosion came. The
back end of the tank blew out,
sending a hungry stream of fire
'scurrying across the yard toward
the nearby buildings.
~ ~.
ever-growing fire might soon ignite
surrounding structures, Henry Cur
lee climbed under the steering
wheel of the burning truck and
moved it to a safe spot in the yard
where volunteer firemen, with dirt
and chemicals, soon extinquished the
mass of glowing steel.
Damage was estimated to be be-
tween $500 and $4,000.

much in fact, that the sale Of cattle
is not often completed until after
shutdown on Thursday afternoon.
Comparing the prices paid for
livestock of all kinds on the local
market during the past two weeks
with those on other neighboring
markets, results have shown that
'smore is paid for animals right here
in West Jefferson. More and more
buyers are being attracted each
week.
Main buyers last week were Ben
White of the White Packing Co.,
Salisbury, who bought $1.028 worth
of livestock; G. L. Duncan, who pur-
chased 5000 worth; and, Oscar Pitts,
who bought $525 worth for the 10

Heifers sold for top price of
$7.45; steers, $7.35; cows, $6.40;
calves, SO; hogs, $8.15; lambs, $7.55;
sheep, 1925.
The managers of the local mark
ct have been well pleased with the
enthusiasm ! shown at preceding
sales, and although nothin
special" has been announced to
hold the spotlight this afternoon, 9
successful sale is anticipated.
