WENDELL WILLKlE
CLUB IS PLANNED
Organization Of Group Under
Way Here; Spillman Tenn
p0rary Chairman

Organization of a Willkie-for-
President club is now under way
in New Hanover county, John
Spillman, Jr., temporary chairman
of the organization, said last night.
The action is the result of a
meeting of members of the re-
publican party here several days
ago. The coming presidential cam
palgn was discussed at length and
it was decided to name a commit.
tee to make plans for the club.
Spillman was chosen temporary
chairman of this group and other
members r John H. Nigel, Miss
Sarah Bradshaw, Mrs. c. M. Wal
dorf and j. B. Swails. A meeting
of the committee is planned within
the near future, Spillman said.
The group has contacted the
state organization, as well as Will
kie headquarters in New York, he
stated.
1T is the intention of the club
to acquaint every voter in New
Hanover with the qualifications of
Mr.. Wendell Willkie for the White
House and its activity will be in
creased as the national campaign
progresses" he said.
Expansion of the club outside
New Hanover county is also con-
templated, it was reported.

campaign.
In addition to the presidential
address, the evenings schedule in.
cluded an appearance by Mrs.
Roosevelt, who flew in from New
York to do, as she put it, whatever
Chairman James A. Farley of the
national committee, might assign
her to do. Report had it, that she
might make a brief address to the
convention.
The selection of a Roosevelt
Wallace ticket presented Wendell
L. Willkie and his republicans no,
only with the third term challenge,
but the issue of a democratic slate
which is solidly and uncompromis-
ingly for the New Deal.
The strategy apparently was to
offset the farm-belt influence of
Senator Charles l.. McNary, the re-
publican vice-presidential nominee,
with wallace, Who as secretary OF
agriculture since 1888 is widely
Known VA the rural areas.
AS the crowd gathered in the sta
dunn where hundreds of fans were
busy under the hot lights above,
Mrs. Roosevelt reached Chicago by
airplane. She told reporters at the
airport that she could Not inn
agine anyone in the world, as it is
today, wishing to carry the re-
sponsibility of being head of a gov
eminent"
She had a broad smile for those
who had gathered to meet her,
which changed to seriousness when
a reporter asked about the third
term and she replied:
cts not ones individual respon-
sibility-mental' and physical re.
sponsibility-the responsibility for
the role ones country has in the
world today"
She had never asked Mr.. Roose-
welt and he had never volunteered
any information on his third-term
plans, she said.

loudly blended with cheers from

Want Democrat"
From one section of the hall a
few were calling: 1--WE want a
Democrat" evidently referring to
| Wallace's one-time affiliation with
the republican party.
AS delegates thronged to the eve
ming session Mr.. Roosevelt sent
a wire to his floor manager here,
Senator James F. Byrnes of South
Carolina. It said:
Under normal circumstances, l
would have gone to Chicago in per-
son but in these difficult days, I
must not, in the public interest, go

Workers Get
Back Wages

Raleigh, Sept. l9--(AP)--Raci
wages totaling Sl,4e4.56 have been
paid to 16l furniture and hosiery
workers in North Carolina as re-
suit of the Wage-hour divisions drive
for compliance with the fair laEor
standards act in those industries,
Major A. L. Fletcher, regional di-
rector, reported today.
Previously, Major Fletcher had
said that as a result Of two court
actions against hosiery firms, resti-
tuition payments totaling about Sd
$50 had been paid to around 1876 en-
ployeS.
Other industries being subjected

Fred J. Coke, Jr., senior inspec-
tor, reported to Major Fletcher that
24O plants with 31,150 employees had
been inspected by Wage-hour in
spectors and those of the state labor
department under instructions by
Forrest H. Shuford, state labor COM

The restitution payments of ST.

action by % plants, and SO additional
establishment were found to owe

Major Fletcher expressed the opin-
ion that many of the violations had
been caused by failure to under
stand the law. The majority of those
found not complying with the law
had failed to keep proper records,

Capital Gossip
BY HENRY AVERILL

Raleigh, Sept. 19-There are two
ads, and something in the nature of
an ad that contain more than a bit
of the unusual or the ironic in the
most recent issue of the North Car
Dina Federationist, organ Of the
State Federation Of Labor.
First, half of the back cover is
given over to an advertisement Of
''The City Of Wilmington, which APP
pears to have been sponsored by
Wilmington's city commissioners and
the Wilmington Chamber of Com
merce. So far as this corner is aware,
it is the first such advertisement in
serted in a Labor paper by NUM-
cipality and its biggest business as
ISOLATION. In the case of Wilmington
it's doubly intriguing to those who
know the executive officer of Will
mington's Chamber of Commerce as
a most bitter and reactionary foe
of union labor.
Next, there's an advertisement of
the Southern Oil Transportation Co.,
whose president and treasurer, R. L.
Brinson, was only few short months
ago engaged in one of the most VOL
ent of controversies with its union
truck drivers-a controversy which
led to strike of many, many months
in Wilmington.
Lastly, there's a rotice Of the al
legged fact that the Quality Bottling
Company of Monroe, N. c., is "Un-
fair to Organized Labor"-the I'M
usual feature being that it's so set up
that it might we'll be taken at a
glance for an advertisement OF the
company and Jacob Rupert Beer.
There's a practically unanimous
agreement in opinion heard here to
the effect that the chances CT wen
dell Willkie are less than zero IN
North Carolina and almost that pad
in the country at large.
There probably was some surprise
and perhaps a bit of CONSERVATION
among those county vlce-cnalrlnell
who recently received letter from

Dependents Ut
Draftees May
Get Income

Washington, Sept. - (hf(
Seeking to case the financial bur
dens of men drafted for military
training, the senate wrote INTO lhe
excess tax bill broad authority lor
the President to establish allowances
for dependents.
He also would be empowered 10
establish an insurance system lor lne
men and make notifications IN the
present social security regulations lor
their benefit.
1t acted while the war department,
waiting for President Roosevelt 10

machinery, rules and regulations Tor
CONSUMPTION. reported that numerous
states were announcing progress en-
preparatonS for their part IN Inc
draft.
Many governors, it was said, have
been selecting men for the local
draft boards and arranging for reg
ular election officials to handle the
gigantic task of registering l6,5O0,o0u
eligible young men on October Is.
The provisions adopted by the
senate were purposely vague, SO that
senate and house conIereeS may WORK
Out more explicit language later on
They were adopted as a substitute
for an amendment by Senator Van
denburg, Republican, Michigan, de-
signed to continue old age pension
and unemployment credits for
draftees and national guardsmen
called into active service.
The outlay for dependents is eX-
pected to be comparatively small al
the start inasmuch as the general po-
icy is not to draft men with depend
ent relatives at present, but to place
them in a deferred classification
However, they may be drafted later
