People of America you are on
your way to war;" exclaimed Clark,
a tall. slim figure in a brown suit,
pacing up and down in the rear of
the Republican seats and pausins
now and then to bang his fist on
y desk that was handy.
"You are moving to war on a
turbulent cataract of untruths and
propaganda. You are being driven
there by international financiers
who will coin money out of the
blood If your sons"
LaFollette, quoting a speech by
his father before him on the same
floor to show that the Versailles
treaty makers were not "peace-
makers" but war makers, as
serted that modern war has be-
come such a destructive process
that it cannot achieve it's anno7 need
objectives no matter how lofty or
how venal they may be-"
He appealed to his closely-hsten-
ing colleagues to "reject this bill

year ago"-that of making the -four

Observers found significance in
an official statement that the re-

one delegate-general to translate

The new position of delegate
general for French-German nego-

for Pierre Laval, former vice-pre-
mier and foreign minister whose
restoration to power in the Vichy
government has been said in well
infomed circles to have been de-
manded by the Germans as a nec-
essary preliminary to amicable
settlement of issues between the
two countries. S

In contrast to Clark's restless

MANY TRANSMITS
CREATE PROBLEM
FOR WILMINGTON
Continued from Page One)

To begin with, most of them are
men in or approaching middle age.
They're not the youngsters, COM
paratively speaking, who moved
aimlessly about during the depres-
sion years. On the contrary, they
are, as rule, men with wives
and families waiting at home for
the word: I've got job; come
on" They are, for the most part,
the semi-skilled tradesmen attract
ed to Wilmington by the prospect
of employment at Camp Davis or
at the shipyards. Singly and in
pairs they have drifted into Will
mington, hopeful of work order.
That there is no immediate work
available doesn't discourage them; !;
or at least most of them, anyway.
WELL" they seem to philoso-
phize, ''there'll be work at tn e
shipyards in a week or two. And,
you know, the government going
to spend a lot of money building
that marine base. Well wait
There'll be work.
Where are they coming from?
From north, from south, from
west; from big cities and country
farms, that's where they m e
from, lured by the prospect ano
hope of work and a paycheck a lo1
bigger than those W.P.A. checks
most of them have been getting
since they learned there weren't
enough chickens to fill every lunch
pail.
Few of them are skilled work
ers. Most of the skilled carpenters
and plumbers and metal work
ers, and other craftsmen, have
long since been absorbed in the
business revival occasioned by

Wilmington is creating situation

some of them are passable rough

masters of any trade. There are

learn that the fellow in Philadel
phia was wrong But here he is
broke, dependant upon whatever
charity the community can afford
him until work does show up-o1

him they're begging for carpenters
and plumbers in Georgia.
Most of these men have b e Il

Brigadier James V. Breazeale

of them do, but still need help un-

II don't know how many re-
quests we've had for gasoline
money from men who, failing to
find work, decided to strike
for some other booming defense
area, or to return home. We help
where we can. -
And it's the same story w h
their private and public agencies.
Almost nightly the police depart
ment is called upon by dozen or
more men, all with the same plea:
Where can a fellow get a bed
and something to eat. Nav, I'm
broke. Just got in. Looking o r
work"
The police refer the requests to
the Salvation Army, the only IA
cility in town equipped to care for
transients on short notice. When
the Army hut is filled-its capacity
is 80 beds and a dozen chairs
pulled around hot stove-the
overflow shifts for itself.

however, these people do present
a serious problem, for which,

The solution, Mayor Cooper be-
lieves, and in this he is corrobo-

If Wilmington is to be an i'm

several years, it is only natural

won't-and they don't have t h

properly lie with the community"
Mayor Cooper says.

appearances, they'll keep coming,

BILL TO OUTLAW
"CLOSED SHOP"
MEASURE TO BE INTRODUCED
IN THE LEGISLATURE
THIS WEEK

TALLAHASSEE, April 13. -
FNS) A bill backed by Attorney
General Tom Watson was in
troduced in the state legis-
lature this week. 1t would out
law labor's CLOSED shop" on all
defense projects and provides
that all qualified citizens be given
an opportunity to work on" jobs
being financed by federal, state,
county or district money.
1t would punish any union that
enforced a closed shop prohibiting
non-union workers from finding
jobs on defense projects. 1t would
punish any person seeking to stop
work on a defense project, either
employer or employee, and would
prevent any employer from dis
eliminating against any workers
who were not members of a
union.
Punishment would be not less
than one years Imprisonment and
$500 fine, or not more than three
years imprisonment and $4,000
fine.
Watson said he anticipates
strong opposition from organized
labor but is firm in his stand
that the right to work is God
given American privilege, and
workers, whether members of a
union or not, should have an OPP
portunity to work on defense
projects being supported by tax
monies.
While labor bitterly denounced
Watson when he expressed sim

the amendment, to which there
was no opposition by the commits
Sioners, was essential to the pro-

Department four cents and coun-
