Imperial County, Fair to
Combine Big Features Of
Entertainment, Education

Tapestries, tractors, a carnival,
livestock, horse races. a hot dog
stand, free vaudeville shows and an
amateur contest-an out of towner
might call it a menagerie but in
stead it's just one peek at Imperial
county's 10th annual mid-winter
fair which will open at Imperial
on March 4.
From woman's domestic art and
science displays to the junior live
stock show the 10th annual county
fair will make previous agricultural
expositions as insignificant as the
county jail along side the Empire
State building.
Dorman Stewart, secretary OF the
fair board, has annually predicted
the fair would be the most out
standing in history, but this year
he has the statistics to prove his
forecasts.
Every stall for horses, cows, pigs
lambs, every pen for poultry, every
booth for boy scout, domestic SCI
ence and arts displays is taken.
On previous years booths were
not filled until the week before
the fair opened, but this season

The act of clemency announced
by l.. F. Chapman. prison superin-
tendent. came less than 80 minutes
before Mccall was scheduled to
walk to the electric chair. Mccall
had given up hope and was recon-
ciled TO dying today.
The poStponement was ordered
by Gov. Fred P. Cone to permit
the appeal.
The action was not a stay of
execution, but merely a postpone
ment, the governors office explain
ed. The death warrant ordering the
abductor electrocuted during the
week of Feb. 90 remains in effect.
Chapman said that the -four
days delay is more in the nature
OF postponement than a re-
prieve." He explained that the
death warrant decreed the execu-
ton any time during the week of
February 90 and that it was the
discretion of the prison superin-
tendent to select the date. The
new hour for the execution which
was TO have been 10 am. today
is II am Friday.
Chapman explained that he had
granted the delay at the insistence
of the Mccall family who pleaded
for an opportunity to place the
case before the highest court.

Might Probe
Hotel Phones
Daily lDlspatcn Bureau.
In the Sir waller iiOtei

Raleigh, Aug. 21.-Recent decision
of the Utility Commission in the
PinehurSt telephone rate case has
centered attention on the matter OF
phones in hotels which have interior
switchboards and make charge for
every call by guests to phones out
side the hotel.
In the Pinchurst case it was
brought out before the commission
that in some cases the hotels actual
ly made more money than the telc-
phone company, though there was an
exceptional situation in that the
hotels own their own SWitchboardS
and do not have to pay for use there
of, only for the trunk line into the
building.
Taken in connection with re-
cent New York case in which it was
held that hotels are not entitled to
make a profit on their "house"
phones,. however, the discovery that
North Carolina hotels do in some
cases profit is likely to bring about
hearing on the whole matter in
the near future.
AS matter of record, represen-
tatlve OF the hoteIS not SO long ago
complained somewhat informally to
the Utility Commission that rates
charges by the telephone companies
TO the hotels arc too high and ought
to be looked into.
Shortly afterward Commissioner
Stanley Winborne notified the COM
plalnant that he would be glad to go
into the whole matter" of hotel rates,
including the charges made by the
nostclrles to their guests. Whereupon
the hotels lost all interest in the
matter and nothing more has been
neard about any investigation.
The New York case held that a
hotel has no right to make a profit
out of its phones, because to do SO
would be, IN effect, going into the
utility business. The same rule OBJ
viously could be applied in North
it seems the hotels
wanted no part of that sort of thing.

Labor RaCkets At
Worlds Fair Are
Alleged by Writer

New York, Aug. 21.-"A group Of
New York labor unions, engaged in
the building trades have utilized
the Worlds Fair to profiteer, to jack
up wages and prices, to favor local
contractors as against national
manufacturers, to maintain stan
dards which did not fit emergency
and temporary work conditions, to
sabotage constructions SO that over
time would have to be paid, to dis
tress and disgust foreign exhibitors
who spent millions Of dollars at the
invitation of Congress and the
President of the United States"
That is the report of George E.
Sokolsky, delegated by Liberty
Magazine to get at the facts behind
labor troubles of exhibitors at the
Fair. The complete report based on
court testimony appears in the
current issue of Liberty.
The article states that an exhibit
costing $4,000 to construct at the
Chicago Worlds Fair cost $4,000
at New York. Sokolsky, stating that
one pivotal union can tie up an
entire industry, points to Local No.
3 of the International Brotherhood
of Electrical Workers as the central
character in the New York trouble.
"This union, he writes, "got an
agreement providing for only one
shift labor on this emergency job,
which required speed They got
tWo-dollar an hour base wage for
a thirty-hour week, with time and
a half for overtime. But that is not
all Local No. has arrogated to it.
self the right to determine what
kind of electrical equipment is to
be used, refuses to handle any
equipment unless it has been wired
IN plant which has a signed closed
shop contract with Local No. 81.
Sokolsky writes that it is be-
cause of such situation building
construction is held up, men are
out of work, and this country is in
disgrace because of the inhospitable
treatment that foreign exhibitors
received at the Worlds Fair.
