Tells Women

Absentee owners who invest in
Southern industries and evade local
responsibilities by residence else
where are among the critics of the
Fair Labor Standards Act who wall
that the Wage and Hour law is ruin
ing the South, Maj. A. L. Fletcher,
assistant administrator of the Wage
and Hour Division of the Depart
ment of Labor, asserted yesterday in
an address before the Council of
Southern Women.
Speaking before meeting at the
Woman's National Democratic Club,
Maj. Fletcher pointed out as signifi-
cant the fact that a large number
of the actions to obtain the wage
and hour benefits for Southern work.
ers haven't been filed in the South
ern courts at all, but in such cities
as New York and Philadelphia.
I'VE filed them there because that
was where the operators were in
corporated or where they lived and
maintained their headquarters" he
said. These are some of the people
who have been Wailing that the
wage and hour law is running the
South. They are not interested in
building up the South, in making 1t
a happier place to live; they are in
terested in exploiting the South"
Cites Gains Under Act.
Abuses practiced in communities
were the Fair Labor Standards Act
has been violated were cited by the
speaker, who declared that where
wages were unfair and working con-
ditions poor, there was an increase
in demands upon welfare agencies
which added burdens upon tax pay
ers.
In one community where there
were violations of the act" he said,
I'VE found the local welfare agency
was aroused because, of course, when
workers do not make enough to live
on they have to call on the county
for support
Maj Fletcher declared that
monthly indices issued by the
Secretary of Labor show that en-
ployment in many industries in
which the South is interested in
creased each of the first four
months of this year over the cor
responding months of last year.
Pay rolls also increased, he said.
And while he did not attribute the
entire gain to the Fair Labor Stand
ards Act, he pointed out that the
law had not made for unemploy-
ment, lowered pay rolls and raised
prices.
Step in Right Direction.
Higher wages lead to an army of
new consumers, he contended, and
while the Fair Labor Standards Act
is not patent cure-all," it is a
step in the right direction.
Maj. Fletcher also urged the de-
velopment of the South's re-
sources for its own benefit and de-
.lared that the Fair Labor Standards
Act lis at least one important de-
vice that will help us to do that"
The group which Maj. Fletcher
addressed is composed of Southern
women interested in all problems
affecting the South. The council is
open to all Southern women and
holds luncheons twice a month for
the discussion of matters of i'm
portance to the South. There are
no officers, but one of the group
presides at luncheons and arranges
for speakers.

vision of the Democratic National
Committee, presided yesterday.

Liquidation in Spain
Cincinnati Enuuirer)


General Frances mammoth victory parade in
Madrid planned a national fiesta and as a farewell
TO the German and italian troops who helped insure
the victory finally carried off despite many delays
and obstacles That the event not marred by any
disorder or friction indicates the skill with which
Franco and his aides harmonized the divergent views
CT CarlistS Falangists, and other factions.
The victory celebration for six weeks has been
the pretext for keeping italian and German forces
on Spanish soil although some repatriated in
advance of the Madrid rally. Withdrawal of the for
eign troops has promised many times that the
promises are no longer taken very seriously. But
there are many indications that the promises will
finally be kept in the next few weeks.
This will make it distinctly easier for the new
Spanish Government to choose its foreign policy with
out regard to italian German pressure for open
adherence to the Berlin axis That the demands
OF the Fascist powers are being countered from the
other side is indicated by dispatches from London.
These hint that British private bankers preparing
lend Frances regime $100000000 for reconstruction
purposes contingent his adopting policy of
trality.
From Burgos however, there has been hint of
such loan such policy Every public statement
and every expression of opinion in the controlled
press augments the suspicion that the foreign policy
Of the new Spain will be one of close affation with
considered Judgment of General Franco and his
bgother-n-law the two dominant figures at Burgos,
ca whether it stems from the middle ranks of the Fa-
angst party which is strongly Fascist in tendency is
not easy to ascertain.

FRIDAY. JUNE 9, 1899


Although the planetary govern
ment for today is not strong, ac-
cording to astrology, adverse as
poets suggest caution in all impor-
tant decisions and care in conduct
ing business matters.
Deceit, secrecy and even disloy-
atty are encouraged by the stars I'M
der this CONFORMATION which pres
ages concern regarding subversive
movements and organizations.
Labor unions are to be subject to
more serious efforts to undermine
them than at any time in the past
Strikes of great potentialities are
presaged but compromises are in
dicated.
Many changes in official posts in
Washington, D. c., are prognosti-
Gated. Honors and promotions will
be numerous and women will re-
ceive unusual recognition for high
services.
Girls will receive chivalrouS trlb-
utes under this rule of the stars
which encourages reverence rather
than sentiment. At several universe
ties there will be ceremonies of
unusual significance.
Crops this year should be good,
but prices of foodstuffs will be
high. Exports of grain will be heavy
Farmers should profit. There may
be many pests to destroy crops.
Close relations between the Unit
ed States and Great Britain may
cause disapproval in certain quar-
tiers, but it will prove fortunate in
the end for this country
Persons whose birthdate it is have
