Outside of international affairs,
Washington is more interested
right now in the peace moves in
the Labor war than in anything
else. Both wings of Organized
Labor recognize that their posi-

the G. I. o. President Green of
the Federation intimated his will

Chairman John Lewis of the c..

that the two organizations hold
simultaneous conventions in the
same hall and see whether they
can't get together again. Any
thing or nothing may come Of

Holler Resigns
To Accept Work
At State Capitol

Dan F. Holler, Wilkes county
farm agent for the past two
years, has resigned and accepted
position with the North Caro-
lima Extension Service in Ra-
leigh.
The resignation occurred as a
result of a controversy between
the Wilkes county board of COM
missioners and authorities of the
extension service over appoint
ment of a county agent.
Last year the commissioners
appointed Edward M. Freas, of
Traphill, to succeed Mr.. Holler
as county agent but the state au-
thorities, who pointed out that
the services of Mr.. Holler. had
been most satisfactory, would not
approve the change. Later the
commissioners appointed Howard
Coward, of Reddies River, and
he likewise was not approved
State authorities also failed to
approve the appointment of L. F

U. 5. on Unemployment
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
A railroad labor leader told the
Monopoly Committee yesterday that
unless this Nations unemployment
problems were solved the United
States might follow the European
pattern Of dictatorship.
George M. Harrison, president of
the Brotherhood of Railway Mail
Clerks, said, 1--WE have already seen
labor willing to trade human liberty
and Democratic institutions for a
chance to eat in other nations"
I'm not here to wave any red
flags or be an alarmist," he said. IT
try to be realist and keep my feet
on the ground"
Mr.. Harrison suggested that Con-
gress might make a start" on un-
employment in the railroad and
transportation industry by legis-
lation establishing maximum g.
hour day for labor.
Since 1921, he said, 622 ,426 rail
workers had lost their jobs because
OF chronological advances.
