JOBLESS TAX RATING
HIT BY A. T. |. CHIEF

New York, n. Y.-Thomas Murtha,
president of the Central Trades and
Labor Council of Greater New York,
speaking on behalf of 100000 Ameri-
can Federation of Labor members in
New York City, opposed the proposal
to institute experienced rating" un-
der the unemployment insurance law.
According to the plan, companies Of
fering constant employment would
pay lower unemployment insurance
taxes than companies with higher
turnover. Mr.. Murtha criticized this
as merely a device to reduce the in
come for the unemployment insurance
fund.
"If the income were excessive in
relation to the need for it, tax reduc-
tions could be justified, but the plain
fact is quite the contrary of any such
notion" Mr. Murtha said.
Not to beat about the bush, the
benefits paid under the unemployment
insurance law of our state are pitt
fully inadequate to provide reasonably
for unemployed workers during the
time when they are out of work"

UNION CARPENTERS
HIT W.P.A. POLICIES

Worcester, Mass. (ILNS). - Vig-
orous dissatisfaction with policies of
the Works Projects Administration
was voiced at the annual convention
of the Massachusetts State Council of
the United Carpenters and Joiners.
The w. P. A. was charged with hiring
young unskilled workers in prefer
ence to skilled men.
President Bennett F. Gordon of the
state council said the man of SO who
is skilled at his trade is being cast
aside by the w. P. A. and young
men-with no experience, but strong
political connections-ar getting the
jobs
He said he is not opposed to the
w. P. A. hiring inexperienced men in
the construction of walls, walks and
the like, but did object to the w. P. A.
undertaking building projects, claim
ing that this not only proves costly
but is bound to result in faulty con-
struction.
After sharp discussion, the council
adopted a resolution opposing w. P.
A. infringement of established union
hours, wages and other conditions.
Another resolution favored estab-
lishment of the 6-hour day, 5-day
week as means for creating more
jobs.

BAILEY EXPLAINS

CENATOR BAILEY'S assurance that he is
- doing the best he can to get a rivers and
harbors bill through congress at this session,
as expressed in his letter to the Star-Neus re-
produced on this page, would be more reas'
surfing if he did not also say, This is not
the last year in which we can hope to do
things. If we fail this year, we may hope to
succeed next"
The reference is to North Carolina's deter
mined and understandable effort to get its
waterways improved, an understanding already
approved by war department engineers and
recognized generally as an essential step in
national defense. The states needs were pro-
vided for in the bill approved by the house
of representatives which called for $412, 000,-
OO0 for national waterways. North Carolina
requirements, therefore, are established and
recognized, and whatever revision is deemed
advisable, in light of President RoosEvELTs
economy drive, should not exclude them.
But why should there be this demonstration
of sudden, jealous fervor for economy in one
appropriation while appropriations for other
federal enterprises are hiked we'll above the
Presidents estimates of the needs? Why pick
on rivers and harbors; why be downcast and
fearful of failure to get an appropriation so
obviously needed for one prime project and
give others more than asked for? Why, in
heavens name, save at the spigot and waste
at the bunghole?
The question is not a rhetorical gesture;
the answer not hard to find. Broadly, it is
that votes are to be made in the one case
and may not be in the other. For example,
the agricultural appropriation is boosted be-
cause more money for the denser population
in mid-continent and western farm belts nat
urally means increased support for the con-
gressmen seeking reelection. Farm organiza-
tons control a solid block of six million
votes-not to be sneezed at in an election
year. Larger appropriations for the NYA and
the CCC and other wards of government may
be counted on to swell the total votes for in.
cumbents who want to retain their seats.
The gentlemen on Capitol Hill are following
the line of least resistance to the hearts of
their constituencies. Politics, then, is the an
sWer to these pertinent questions.
But it will not satisfy the people of North
Carolina, who will be reluctant to accept Sen.
ator BAILEYs admission that another wear
may pass without rivers and harbors appro-
%priations as the best that can be done in a
difficult situation.

FIRST IMPRESSIONS LAST

A major project for highway scenic i'm
provement would give Wilmington a distinct
advantage in the eyes of the thousands of
tourists who come this way, whether to visit
for a while or merely to spend a night.
First impressions are often lasting impress
sions. The view one gets of a city in ap-
preaching it, particularly if it is unpleasant.
is all too likely to outlive a nearer view even
though it be a thing of beauty.
For this reason it is important that all that
meets the eye in suburbs and even in areas
farther from the heart Of q. city be as beau
tiful as human effort can achieve. This car
be done only when jewellers beyond the city
limits unite in a Identification effort and
city residents, as we'll as ruralists, stop using
the edges of highways as dumping grounds
A tour of Wilmington's e%nvirons will revea
that much could be done to improve the ap
pearance of roadsides. That the work would
have to be done voluntarily need not thwar'
the effort. Wherever enc goes, amid what
ever natural beauty the vicinity offers, thu
view is spoiled by the presence of refuse
debris of one sort and another, and a genera

OFFICERS MEET
AT WHITE LAKE
Session Friday Night To Dis
cuss Retirement Bene-
fit Fund

The peace officers retirement
benefit fund will be considered at a
meeting of peace officers of south
eastern North Carolina at $50
o'clock Friday evening. April 5, at
Mrs. Marshburn's hotel at Marsh
burns beach, White Lake, near
Elizabethtown, Police Chief Joseph
C. Rourk was advised yesterday by
Lieutenant A. 7. Moore, state high
way patrolman who is stationed at
Fayetteville.
The following members of the
executive board or the board of com
missioners of the fund plan to at
tend: George Ross Pou, Sheriff C.
o. Robinson. B. NJ. Haynes, Dan c.
Boney, Major j. T. Armstrong, and
John R. Morris.
Board members will explain the
purposes of the peace officers re,
tirement fund, who it's benefits may
be derived, and the procedures TO
be followed in deriving these bene,
fits.
An open forum discussion will fol-
low the talks by the executive
board members of the fund. A
r~esentatives of law enforcement
agencies in the Wilmington section
have been invited to attend.

A A BOOMERANG

If H1TLER's purpose in publishing documents
discovered among Polish archives was to
breed distrust of the Allies in America and
other neutral nations it must be obvious to
any observer that he employed the wrong
strategy.
Instead of undermining sympathy for the
powers who have undertaken the difficult
task of eliminating Naziism, the papers the
Germans claim to have found in Poland's
ashes will serve only to strengthen a widely
held belief that all the Nazi regime stands
for ought to be rooted out for the lasting good
of humanity.
Washington officials in a position to know
declare the papers fraudulent. 1t appears from
this that the Berlin high command sent up a
dud in its propaganda campaign; or, if not
a dud, a boomerang destined to wound itself.

O BENEFITS

Dear Sir:
Wilmington, in its isolation from
tba benefits of favors from the
centralized state government at Ra-
LEIGH. has for years on end been
notoriously a mistreated stepchild.
And this has been true to a large
extent as regards recognition from
Washington.
But ever since Mayor Tom Cooper
began running for governor, which
he did a long time ago by hollering
about Capitalization of government
in Raleigh, Wilmington has been
getting more and more attention
from Raleigh and bigger and better
appropriations out of Washington.
The millions of dollars that have
been given Wilmington for low'
cost houses and street improve
ments in the past year certainly
show it pays to have some local
man who will force state and ma
tional politicians to recognize that
Wilmington really does exist and
does have men who can get its side
of the picture on the front pages
of the newspapers.
Yours very truly,
A VISITING WILMINGTONIAN

Editorial Comments
From Other Angles
ARNOLD WINS
New York Herald Tribune

Mr.. Thurman Arnold, assistant attorney gen
eral in charge of antitrust prosecutions, has
won the first round in his fight to hold labor
unions accountable to the criminal provisions
Of the Sherman law. Judge Peyton Gordon, of
the federal district court in Washington, has
ruled that the Clayton act docs not give, and
was sot intended to give, to labor organizations
a blanket exemption from the operation of the
antitrust laws"
The case is that of a local of the Interna-
tional Brotherhood of Transfers, belonging to
the American Federation of Labor, which is &C
cused of outrageously coercive tactics in an at
tempt to drive to the wall a rival union, a 10,
cal of the international Brotherhood Of Operat-
ing Engineers, also an A. F. of L. affiliate. TIC
prevent members of the latter from driving and
operating concrete mixer trucks the defendant
organization, it is charged, intimidated the en-
ploying companies into breaking contracts with
the engineers local, coerced drivers into switch
ing to the Transfers, called strikes and, in one
way or another, held up many large govern
ment and private construction projects. Coun,
sci for the accused entered a demurrer to the
indictment, answering, in effect: What of it?'
1t was their contention, that, regardless OF
labor's behavior, the Clayton act free it from
antitrust prosecution.
Judge Gordon's mo- follows repeated deci-
sions of the supreme court that unions may be
50 prosecuted. In civil litigation under the anti
trust statutes, the supreme court has held unions
liable for damages, notably in the famous Dan
bury hatters case before the passage OF the
Clayton act and, after it's passage, IN the
Coronado coal case. In 1927 in U. S. VS.. Brlms'
a criminal case, it found against a union whose
members refused to handle woodwork manu-
featured by non-union workers.
However,, no federal court, so far as the rec
ords show, has passed before on the question
whether a jurisdictional dispute, however con-
ducted. NAV he considered within the category
of antitrust offenses, and herein lies the slshl-
ficance ,of Judge Gordon's ruling. :.
MI. Arnold, as we know, has INSISTED That ~
does. He has included in his list OF uhreaeoA-
able restraints" by unions those designed TO

one North Carolina community against an
other. 1 may be executive secretary OF the
Brunswick County Chamber Of Commerce, but
in this matter I will be just plain BILL KE
z1AH, ready at all lines to treat people in a
friendly way and equally ready to stand ur
and slug any and all who try to discredit the
lower North Carolina coast"
Mr.. KEzIAH's arguments are, in the view Of
The Star-NeUs, soundly based. Southport sure
ly is as good a place for the nautical training
school as Morehead City-perhaps a better
site.
Certainly Southport has the right of q
staked claim and besides, since there is nc
state institution of any sort located in south
eastern North Carolina, it might be well fol-
the state to give us a trial.

~HARRELSON'S CHOICE
REVIEWED

Brunswick county people originated the
idea of a nautical training school for NORTH
Carolina, and Brunswick and New Hanover
legislators secured passage of the bill.
Col. j. W. HARRISON was thereupon ap
pointed chairman of the commission to recon
mend a site. The commission recommended
Morehead City.
These are the facts in the case.
NOW hear W. B. kEz1AH, of Southport, il
an open letter to Col. HARRELsoN:
1 have not been keeping track of the nau
tlcal school matter. So l was rather aston
lshed when 1 read press dispatches that vol
were in Washington, advocating Moreheat
City as the location for the school,. l wa.
still more astonished when you frankly came
out and gave your reasons for champion;ns
Morehead City, and that before anyone asker
you the whereof.
You say (Note the quotation marks:
put them there, but the words are yours).
L went to Washington and appeared on
Tuesday before the house committee on
merchant marine and fisheries and asked
that the Nautical School Law of 1900 be
amended to include the port of Morehead
City. I know that you and possibly the
most OF the people of your section would
prefer to have Southport or Wilmington
designated. I tried to look at the matter
IN a dlslnterested way and
Mofehead City for the following reasons:
1T is nearest the center of the North
t4Tnljna anoct 1ina. ,o.,a.A IL -
the North Carolina link of the inland
waterway; the state has the headquarters
OIL lis fisheries division there, and the
state maintains a fleet of small craft
there, and the wharves are nearer to the
sea than is the case at any other mort in
eastern America
May L state, regarding your above reasons
Morehead City is nearer the center of tn
Nortn carolina coast line-What of that; VIII,
ola you not go on and state that Morehea,
City was also in the Hatteras hurricane zone
And why did you not add that Wilmington
ana Southport were Is to 100 miles neare
LIE center OF North Carolina population an,
industry than Morehead City it?

labor organization to be legitimate"
and that nothing in the antitrust
laws shall be construed to forbid
the existence and operation of such
organizations or to forbid their
members from lawfully carrying

Were the Transfers pursuing a

charged, to destroy the engineers

"lawful'? He says not by a iue,

agrees with him, as will most Of

prosecution for such conduct then
al one can say is that our anti.
statutes need revision.
