Same Old Question.

At present Argenina's putting the
same old query:
'What about the Malvinos is
lands?"
The situation is aggravated at this
juncture, because the English are ac-
cussed of hunting military recruits in
Argentina and concentrating them at
Port Stanley, capital Of the MalvinOs
group Cor Falklands). The Argen-
tines reason that this barefaced
violation of their neutrality.
And Uncle Samuel Winlks at it,
they contend.
The nub of it is that Argentina
hates England-on account Of the
Falklands, and, incidentally, on ac-
count Of the United States, also be-
cause Of the Falklands.
1t makes Pan-American solidarity
difficult.
A little peWee Of the Latin-Amer-
lean aggregation wouldn't matter,
but Argentina is a major power.
It's worth considering the differ
ence between the MalVinos and the
Falkland islands.

Selling Wave
Hits Stocks

New York, Oct. 31.-(AP)-A sell
ing wave hit the stock market today
after an early upswing in aircrafts
and steel motors and other leaders
were knocked down fractions to
points. Top gains in the aviations ran
to three points, but these were sub
sequently cancelled or substantially
reduced. Volume picked up for
while on the slide. Near the fourth
hour, though the slow jog was re-
sumed and some recoveries were in
evidence.
The market apparently remained
cold to Europes war of words and
nerves. and brokers attributed the
slip-up mainly to the speculative con
clusion that if the list would not re-
spond to the heavy assortment Of
recent cheerful home business news,
it might be in a position to react

soever that the federation plans a
more vigorous political attitude than
it has ever adopted in the past, and
there are signs that its increasing
strength is being recognized by nu-
merous office seekers.
This despite the fact that in the
1889 legislature there was an over
whelming majority against any of
the more advanced or drastic legis-
lation sought by labor. A State wage
hour law, for instance, was SO badly
beaten from the very start that eff
forts to enact such a measure almost
boomeranged into weakening Of the
existing State statutes on the sub
ject Of hours.
About the only North Carolina law
which has to do with regulation Of
pay provides that railroad workers
shall be paid twice a month, and this
law says nothing whatsoever about
the amount they shall be paid per
hour, or week, or any other unit Of
time
First indication of a really belliger-
ent attitude Of the federation in
North Carolina came during its State
convention some months ago, when
rousing resolution was adopted de-
nouncing Hap" Barden, congress-
man from the third district, for his
stand on Wage-hour amendments.
Now President Fink is calling on
all unionists to rally en- masse for a
legislative campaign to seat law
makers friendly to Labor and unseat
those who are not.
"NoW is the time to begin Waging
campaign for the enactment of
legislation as called for in our con-
Vention," says Fink.
Some members of the 1899 legis-
lature must not be reelected to the
1871 General Assembly. They have
manifested such antagonism toward
all labor and social legislation that
they should be defeated if they offer
again for election
The names of such legislators will
be published at an early date
MIR. Fink also promised publica-
ton of list Of those legislators
whose records are satisfactory to
labor.

conflict in designations is a bad wor
ry to our State Department.
Some early navigator first sighted
these isles soon after Columbus
time. Other navigators, Of various
nationalities, sighted them subse-
quently, but no country laid claim
to them until the French did, in 1854
After that title to 'em was disputed
by the French, English and Spanish,
respectively. Finally, they gravitat-
ed to Spain, though the English didn't
waive their claim. But nobody cared
much. They were uninhabitated and
of no consequence.
Too Many Pirates.
Shortly before the Monroe Doc
trine made its appearance, Argen-
tina proclaimed its independence of
Spain, set up in business as a re-
public on its own account and an
nounced that the Malvinos bunch was
an outlying possession Of its own.
However, the Argentines didn't
police the archipelago worth a cent.
They couldn't; they were too young.
Pirates found it a convenient base
of operations and became pest to
Yankee shipping in adjacent waters.
Accordingly, in 1881, Uncle Sam dis
patched to the scene q cruiser Which
cleaned out the sea marauders. Why
we didn't keep said islands then isn't
a bit clear, but we didn't. We didn't
turn 'em back to Argentina, either.
We recognized 'em as English.
The English thereupon started to
colonize them. They've hung on ever
since.
The Argentinos were dead sore and
have remained SO. They say that that

Samuel to live up to his Monroe
