many months required in planning

Labor Conditions.
I have heard of very little labor
unrest. 1t looks as if labor troubles
had seen their peak for this cycle.
Apparently neither of the two major
political parties wants the support Of
John L. Lewis. They both look upon
him as possible liability rather than
as an asset. Neither labor leaders nor
wage workers want to be classed as
fifth columnists." Employers also
are being more reasonable. AS young
err employers take the place of old
"die-hards', better relation be-
tween capital and labor is very
noticeable.
It is evident that employers. exc
cutives, and foremen are attending to
business more this summer than for
many years. This has reacted upon

Madame Lupescu, with whom
Carol fled into exile in 1925, aban-

Madame Lupescu has frequently
been called the 'uncroWned queen"

AS Carol was reported on the verge

Daily Dispatch Bureau,
In the Sir Waller Hotel.
BY HENRY AVERILL

Raleigh, Sept. 5.-Norwood S.
Westbrook, state commander of the
Disabled American Veterans, sees a
fine job opportunity for veterans of
the World War in the call Of North
Cardinals National Guard into &C
tive training for year.
Commander Westbrook, who comes
from Wilmington, came here We'd
nesGay in an effort to enlist all job
placement officials in making these
opportunities available TO veterans.
He pointed out that government Of
ficials as well as private employers
can help in such a program.
There arc many guardSmen in
the state service and when they
answer the Presidents Call there is
no reason why veterans Of the World
War should not be given a chance
to fill their places" said WeStbrook,
and l am trying to interest state
officials in giving them a chance to
do so'.
Two high posts in the Veterans
Loan Fund office will be made Va
cant by the Guard call, Westbrook
said by way Of illustration. Colonel
Graham x. Hobbs, head Of the di-
vision, is in command of the 105th
Medical Regiment, while his chief
aide, Charles Burnett, is captain
in the Guard.
Colonel Hobbs, successor will, Of
course, be appointed by the governor;
but he should be veteran, said
the d. A. V. head. captain BurnettS
successor will be named by the new
division chief, but he, too, should
come from the ranks of World War
veterans"
