Wages-Hours
Bill Opposed
By Big Group

Raleigh, March 7.-(AP)-Repre-
sentatives of the fishing, lumber and
telephone industries added their op-
position to pending wage and hour
legislation today at hearings of the
joint legislative committee on labor
Captain John Nelson, State COM
mercial fisheries commissioner, and
men having fish and fertilizer bus
ineSSes cOntended a minimum wage
of 25 cents an hour and maximum
work week of 48 hours or fewer
would "absolutely paralyze" the
fishing industry.
j. M. PicOt, of Littleton, said that
the federal wage-hour act had clos
ed IL sawmills in his immediate Sec
ton, throwing 271 persons out Of
jobs, and that similar State law
would probably close all the mills
and put 1,700 Wage-earners out of
work.
Claude Wheatley, of Beaufort,
and Charles Wallace, George Wal
lace and Captain Nelson, all Of
Morehead City, spoke for the fish
dealers handling non-edible fish,
while Stanley Woodland, of More
head, talked for dealers handling
food fish. Wheatley and the Wal
laces said the fish fertilizer busi-
ness is, of necessity, "very seasonal"
Woodland said that the edible
fish handlers had more "spasmodic"
use of labor than the fertilizer cak-
ers, and contended that it was ''im-
possible to handle blk fish catches
in eight hour shifts"
Stanley Teiser and j. H. Bridg-
ers, of Henderson, merchants, and
William Horner, hotel operator,
also of Henderson, spoke against
the bill, as did Joseph Pippin, saw
mill man of Littleton, and E A
Bugg, Warrenton lumberman.

The House Rules Committee heard
testimony today that "well organ

New York, of the House immigration
Committee, made the statement in
asking legislative right of way for
a measure to empower his commit
tee to ask a thorough study of the
subject aimed at revision of the i'm
migration and naturalization laws.
Dickstein said practices of GER
tain steamship companies and cap
talns in over-manning their ships
would be given particular attention.
Representative Schultz, Democrat.
Indiana, member of Dicketsin's
committee, testified that "a great

He was efficient in all his duties,

made many friends who valued his ac-
quaintance to the extent that results
from a noble character and honest
association with his fellow-man.

but he seemed unconcerned as he
pitched to the Salisbury Indians, who
garnered II hits in 52s inings off his

header, four of these runs being home
runs. That night the Sox Travelled
up to Salisbury and although Valen-
tine pitched very good ball, only al
lowing the Indians z scattered hits,
very costly errors cost linn the ball
game. The local boys outhit the OPP
ponents by two hits, but were de-
feated TO, putting them back in fifth
place by the margin of " game be-
hind Centreville. Last night the Cen
treville club visited the local park and
were taken into camp to the tune of

in the first division.
Voss was in fine form in Wednes-

walked two men and struck out 9.
In the pinches he seemed to be irwin

in trips. This boy is playing a

July 7; Queen Anne's, July 1918
Talbot, July 1928; Caroline, July 81
August a; Worcester, August 7-15;
Somerset, August 1926. There will
be no conferences on Saturdays and
Sundays or on July 8 or 4.
The Especial" has al the equipment
usually found in a children's clinic.
It is divided into two compartments;
one for physical examinations and in
formal conferences with the individual
mothers about the health needs of
their children; the other for dental
examinations and treatments. The
examinations are usually made in the
car, but as the Trailer is always park
ed near some neighborhood center
a church, or school building or COM
munity hall-the conferences can be
held indoors when the weather is un-
favorable.
The tour in each county is under
the direction of the County Health Of
ficer. The staff includes physician
with special experience in the care of
babies and young children, a dentist
and public health nurse. A movie
outfit is included in the equipment
and health movies are shown in the
evenings.
The conferences afford a special
opportunity for the examination of
the youngsters nearing school age, in
preparation for admission to school
in the fall, as we'll as for the exami-
nation of the younger children. The
aim Of the conferences is to show
mothers how to keep their children
well. No medical treatments are CIV
en-. Children in need of medical care
are referred to their own doctors.
Over 1S1 places were visited and
over 1000 miles were travelled in con-
nection with the tour of the Trailer
during the summer of 1888. Over
3,40O children were examined, and
their mothers advised as to conditions
in need Of care or correction.
