Two things are happening. First,
agriculture is being mechanical. 1t
was my fortune to address the stu
dents at Chapel Hill some six or eight
years ago and to forecast then the
future effects of the cotton picking
machine. Those effects are here.
Most of the labor displaced by this
and other equally formidable machines
is Negro labor. That is something to
think about. 1t is Negro tenant-farm-
er labor. You can speculate upon where
that labor will go and what it will do,
but you can't decide for sure quite
yet, except that the effect will be pro-
found in North and South.
You have to bring the war into the
picture, too, because the war taught
thousands upon thousands of Southern
workers to earn and spend wages that
to them then were almost fantastical-
ly high. 1t isn't easy to turn back the
clock, if it can be done at all
So now the war plants are no longer
turning out planes, etc. Machines have
come into the cotton fields, the tobac-
co fields, the cane fields and the rice
paddles.
Population, too, is getting smaller
in several Southern states.
The South has No. economic
problem-and also No. 2 and No.
3 and No. A economic problem and you
can wrap them all up in one huge
package and label it "upheaval", or
"reconversion", or something like that
and you can know two things. First,
that it will not be brought into good
order for many years and Second, that

Half Million Workers
Needed in Vegetable
and Fruit Canneries

Washington, d. C. (ILNS). An es-
timated half million full and part-time
workers will be needed to pack this
years crops Of fruits and vegetables,
the United States Employment Ser
vice, q. S. Department of Labor, an
nounced. In the race against famine
in Europe and Asia, USES officials
said that it is vital that every pound
of fruits and vegetables be processed
in order to supplant in large mea-
sure the fats and cereals shipped to
starvation areas.
USES officials emphasized that the
demand for workers in canning plants
this year is as great as in 1945. They
pointed out that the United States
will have to produce foodstuffs, includ-
ing processed foods, at rate equal to
that Of any Of the war years. The
problem is complicated to some extent
this year by the absence Of prisoners
of war and foreign workers in can
ming plants.

SENATE APPROVES
BILL TO RETURN
USES. TO STATES

Washington, D. C.-Disregarding
the firm opposition of President Tru-
man, the Senate, by voice vote, ap-
proved and sent to the House for
conference bill for return of the
United States Employment Services
to the States by December 81, 1916.
Soon after the opening of the pres
ent session of Congress, Mr.. Truman,
in budget message, expressed hope
that the employment services would
be retained under Federal control
through the reconversion period. He
was defeated by coalition move
ment.
Some Federal jurisdiction was re-
tanned under the Senate version of
the measure. 1t provided that en-
ployment services must be returned
to the States by December 81, but
specified that if individual States did
not meet Federal standards in the
use of Government funds, the USES
would be permitted to intervene and
establish it's own system.
The employment services, under
terms of the bill as it passed the
Senate, would be under supervision
of the Labor Department, but USES
would have authority to set up it's
own programs in States which have
none.

Both the North and the South will
do well to pay some attention to the
South as these reconversion months
go by.
The word "reconversion" is used
here to mean more than switching a
war plant to civilian production. 1t is
used to cover the broad job of recon-
verting whole economy and the peo-
pie in it.
The South has boasted the rule of
King Cotton for so many long years
that the boast will not be forgotten
easily-but the fact is passing swift
ly.
As matter of fact, what we seem
to be working toward is one national
economy, displacing the old double
economy, which was composed of one
economy for the South and another
for the North, not to mention another
for the West.
Whether the economy of the West
will undergo quite the change that is
taking place in the economy of the
South isn't vet clear, but it is clear
that it is greatly modified.
The economy of the South is rae
ing hell bent for something new to
the South.

Major Disputes Ended,
DR.. Steelman Believes

Washington, D. C.-Dr. John R.
Steelman, Director of War Mobiliza-
tion and Reconversion, declared he is
of the opinion that labor and manage
ment have settled their major prob
lens and that, with the physical re-
conversion of war plants about COM
plete, production was the big task
facing the Nation at this time.
"The country is producing more
goods and services in terms of 1941
dollars now than before the war, but
the supply is still inadequate" DR..
Steelman said.

Dor are handicapped, because labor
has obliged the forces Of reaction in
this field by splitting itself into two
houses which do not always see eye to
eye with each other, thus cancelling
out much Of the good that might be
done, just as one reactionary Senator
cancels out the vote Of a liberal Sena-
tor.
With it's agriculture being revolu-
tionized the South is pleading for in
dustries, preferably, is most cases,
small industries.
That is q factor in the great change,

Wage-HOur Law Violation
Costs Clothing Co. $3,45O

New York City (ILNS).-The Ala
bama Clothing Co., Inc, of 1852 At
lantic Avenue, Brooklyn, was fined
$3,450 by Judge Grover M. Moscowitz
in Federal Court, Brooklyn, after a
plea of guilty to violating the federal
wage-hour law.
The company had been charged with
failing to pay employees the minimum
wage of 40 cents an hour, time and a
half for overtime and with keeping
false wage-and-hour records.

ization is factor. What is coming is
thus far cloudy, but that something
big is coming is beyond doubt, just as
it is beyond doubt that the effects will
be felt north Of the Mason Dixon line,
as well as South of it. No economic
fact as big as this can be fenced in by
state lines.
And, as the economic picture chang
es, SO will the political picture. Watch
this great operation as it moves in
exorably forward toward something
that will mean the end of what is by
some nostalgically called "The Old
South" ".-CMW.

the cloud from an atomic bomb, until
its smudge sneaks over great por-
ton Of tie nation certainly that part
