STATE RETIREMENT
BILL is ADVANCED

sion of the minority report, since
house rules claim that such a re-
port must be, signed by at least
three committee members who at
tended the committee meeting.
Wallace and Merritt. Underwood
said, were the only signers who
were present when the bill was
reported unfavorably.
His objection was %overruled, how
ever, by Speaker Null, who said
that the report listed all five sign
ers as having been present at the
meeting.
Leary also sponsored a bill which
would allow persons enormously
convicted of felonies to collect
damages from the state.
Senator Watson of Nash and %
others signed a bill which would
exempt from taxation agricultural
products owned by farmers under
the measure, a grower could re-
tain his crop for a year withou,
paying a tax on it. Sponsors said
the bill would allow growers tc
hold their produce until market
conditions were such that they
could receive good prices.
The senate passed and sent tc
the house a bill to assign a high
way patrolman to the Governor
office. The probable effect of the
measure would be to have a high
way patrolman serve as the Gov
ernor's chauffeur.
A measure to enable out-of-statt
electric utilities to homestead
for the purpose of providing rura
identification was passed by thu
senate and ordered ratified into
law. Senator Whitaker of Swair
said the bill, while statewide il
scope, was introduced to enable f;
Georgia utility to provide lines in
Clay and Cherokee counties.
The senate also passed a house
bill to validate deeds from which
seals were omitted.
Representative Pollard of Dur
ham and others introduced a bill
to increase the travel expense &C
counts of superior court judges by
ST, 900. At present, judges receive
a salary of $4,000 and travel ex.
penses of 1900 a year. His pro-
posal would give the Judges ST.
500 for travel.
Most significant development Of
the day was a sweeping victory
won by Governor Broughton wher
the joint finance committee, re
versing its action of last week
voted to exempt all foods for home
consumption from the states three
per cent sales tax.
After finally deciding to follow
the Governors recommendations
the committee gave unanimous ap
sent it to the house for floor con
prevail to the tax measure, anc
sideration.
Two of Governor Broughton's
"must'' bills-which would make
the terms of the state highway
and public works commission ano
the state board Of conservation
and development coincident witt
his own-probably will be intro.
duced tomorrow.

1t is a we'll recognized fact that
any movement appealing to the con-
sumers depends almost entirely upon
the attitude of the women who do at
least 80 per cent Of the buying 1t is,
therefore, absolutely necessary that
the women become interested in de-
manding merchandise produced in this
country under fair working condition

sion which is bound to follow the pres

outcome.
Auxiliaries have been found to be
the best way in which to bring the
need for correct purchasing habits and
the long range benefits to be derived
from them before the women.
With these two communities entire

that every woman in both East Liv-

MEET AT DENNIS
Executive Board To Go Into
Three-DdY Session
June rs

The forty-ninth annual convention
of the National Brotherhood of Oper-
ative Potters will open at nine o'clock
in the Hotel Dennis on Atlantic City's
boardwalk, Monday, June 80.
Originally scheduled for Buffalo by
action Of the delegates to last years
meeting, a switch was made neces-
sary when it was found that the New
York lake city could not offer proper
facilities. Neither suitable quarters
for the delegates nor a convention
hall could be found by those confront
ed with the task.
The Dennis is not unknown to the
potters since it was used by the con-
ference committee in 1886 for all eau
Gus sessions. 1t is one of the most
prominent Of the Boardwalk inns and
is located near Arkansas Ave.
With numerous weighty problems to
be considered, members of the Execu-
tive Board of the organization will go
into session Thursday, June 26, meet
y ing twice daily until the main body
convenes.
the delegates will consider PROPOSE
tions beneficial to the smooth opera
tion Of the Brotherhood, while prob
ems concerned with wages and work
ing conditions will be out of place.
Members of the Board, elected this
month by the trade, will take the oath
of office on the final day.

The switch to the Dennis in Allan

power as he has done the past week.
