Sen. Wagner
Defends His
Labor Law
Continued from Page I

''Ill- advised as these practices
are, their effect on our econ
omy is insignificant compared
to capital monopoly and cartel
restrictions of production, and
price fixing.
Assailing the proposal to sub
ject labor to the antitrust
laws, the New Yorker asserted
"to apply the antitrust laws to
business encourages competition
in prices and is economically
desirable. To apply the anti
trust laws, however, to break
up unions would promote COM
petition to reduce wages and the
purchasing power Of the work
ers.
Throwing labor disputes into
the courts would contribute
nothing to industrial peace,
Wagner emphasized. Contrary
to expectations, ploye
would suffer most from court
litigation because there are
many more grievances of en-
ployes against employers than
vice versa"
Defends Union Security
Defending union security
clauses, Wagner stressed that
cit is only under a union shop
or maintenance of membership
that union leaders can most eff
fectively maintain union dis
cipline, which is so essential to
avo dance of unauthorized
strikes. Union security is not
opposed to but, on the contrary,
strengthens company security"
On the question of violence,
Wagner asserted "there is little
evidence. that local authorities
are unable to deal with picket
line violence. The attempt to re-
vive the labor injunction might
hamstring labor and result in
bloodshed, but would contribute
not an iota TO reducing the num-
ber of strikes.
"The proposal for strike linn
! itation calling for the cooling
off period has been discredited
by our war experience as solv-
ent of labor disputes" Wagner
concluded. THE incidence of
strikes was greater after the
passage of the War Labor Dis
putes Act than before, even
though it contained a strike no
/ tice provision.

court that defendants would adj
here to their policy of defiance. "
However, the UNIV case is
still far from settlement. The
question of whether Lewis had
the right 10 announce the ter
mination of the UMW's contract
with the government must still
be decided by the same court
that found him in contempt.
And whatever decision this
court makes can be appealed by
either the UNIV or the govern
ment.

He said it was his understanding
that Warren Wagner, outstanding
commerce attorney of Washington,
had been retained by the COM
plainants to argue their case be-
fore the commission.
Tampa charges that rates pub
lished, maintained, and applied by
the 221 railroads for import and
export traffic from the port of Tam
pa as compared with dates appli-
ed to similar traffic to and from
the Wilmington port are unduly and
unreasonably prejudicial and dis
advantageous to Tampa and to the
shippers and consignees shipping

Such a difference of rates, the
group charges, gives Wilmington
and other ports an undue advan-

ports in and out OF the city.
In answer to these charges, Boyd

WINTER WEATHER
BLANKETS NATION

Sections OF Country;
Floods Threaten
By The Associated Press

Snow. sleet and rain pelted vast
sct ons of the country Friday as
the most severe and wide spread
storms of the winter continued un-
abated.
The heavy precipitation slowed
traffic in more than a score OF
states, Kentucky faced the threat
of floods and a sub-zero cold wave
began overspreading the midwest.
A wide snow belt, which reached
a depth of "a inches at Alpena,
Mich, stretched from New Mexico
to Western Pennsylvania. Snow al
so covered many parts of New Eng
land. A freezing rain glazed high
ways in Northwestern Ohio, North
ern Pennsylvania and Western
New York.
Texas experienced the coolest
weather in several years. A four
to 10-inch snow blanket in the
Northwest and Western parts of the
state disrupted communications
and endangered livestock.
Wheat Crop Safe
AS the cold wave moved South
and East from Central Canada
bringing temperatures as low as "a
degrees below zero, grain analysts
said the heavy nov blanket al
ready on the ground had assured
at least temporary safety Of the
winter wheat crop.
Snow has fallen generally in most
sections of Kansas, Oklahoma and
Texas-the principal winter wheat
growing area.
Near freezing temperatures ex-
tended almost to the Gulf and

To Present Report
Mcmillan said that Solicitor Dan
K. Moore intended to present the
report to the next meeting OF the
Haywood grand jury.
The SBI entered the Bladen
probe after the State board had
reversed the Bladen Elections
board for ordering a recount of
votes for sheriff in two precincts.
Lee G. Priest, defeated candidate,
charged there had been irregulari-
ties in the disputed precincts. The
State board directed the county
board to certify j. B. Allen as the
Democratic nominee, and ad-
monished election offisials in two
precincts for negligence in con-
nection with the care of unvoted
ballots and care of ballot boxes
after the conclusion of the count"
A charge of tampering with the
ballot boxes resulted in an investi-
eating by SBI Agent j. F. Brad
shaw. The state board is to re
ceive the report Monday.
Solicitor F. Ertel Carlyle of
Lumberton said he would present
it to the Bladen grand jury Mon

men Admitted To Units
In Wilmington

Eight hundred and fifty-seven
veterans of World War II and
their families were admitted to
War Housing units here by the
Housing Authority of the City of
Wilmington during 194S, Henry R..
Emory, executive director, an
nounced yesterday.
At the end of the year, his re-
port disclosed, 796 veterans were
living in the four projects. This
decrease, it was pointed out, was
the result OF a rapid rate of turn
over, especially in Maffitt Village.
Admissions Of veterans during
the IL months by projects were
as follows:
Lake Forest, s66; Hillcrest, 50;
Maffitt Village, white, 402, and
Maffitt Village, Negro, 80.
Veterans in the projects as of
December 81 ere as follows:
Lake Forest, 400; Hillcrest, Sc,
Maffitt Village, white. 255, and
Maffitt Village, Negro, Is.
Active applications from veter-
ans on hand at the end of the
year total 212. Of this number, ISL
are for Lake Forest, So for Hill
crest, three for Matitt Village,
white, and none for Maffitt Viii
lage, Negro.
Discussing the comparison be-
tween admissions during the year
and applications now On file,
Emory said that it was apparent
that the veterans housing prob
lem here was a minor one in COM
parison with that in other COM
munities.
In addition, considerable tempo
rary or demountable housing has
been shipped cut Of Maffitt Village
to college centers. to house ex-
servicemen, during the past year.
There are now a total of LOST
permanent units in Lake Forest
and 216 in Hillcrest. There is, he

to inquire into the validity of the
charges and report back its find
ings.
Because Bilbo was challenged
Immediately after Baldwin was
sworn in, IS Senators-Elect went
home Friday night still not bona
fide members of the Both Congress.
They will not be until they have
taken their oath in the alphabetical
order prescribed by Senate custom.
Bilbo's first challenge came on
a surprise move from one of his
own colleagues-Democratic Sena-
tor Glen H. Taylor of Idaho, who
stole Republican thunder by seek
ing first and loudest for recogni-
ton by the chair.
When he was through, Bilbo
told newsmen:
"This nincompoop Taylor stole
the Republicans show. The great
est joke of the Both Congress is
that a cowboy named Taylor stole
the whole Republican show"
The COP tried hard to get the
spotlight back, and succeeded
twice.
First was when Sen. Robert A.
Taft offered a motion to table two
resolutions one for seating Bilbo,
the other for denying him his post
until after the Senate had been
organized. Twenty-eight Republi'
cans joined with 10 Democrats to
pass that motion, and only &c
Democrats rallied to vote against
it.
Taft was successful a little later
when he got a 1919 vote on a
motion to table a resolution that
Bilbo's name be substituted for
Brewster" in a Republican move
to swear in Sen. Owen Brewster
of Maine.
Taft raised the gag threat after
the southerners had consumed
most of the afternoon with delay
ing tactics. He said that if they
persisted Saturday he would move
to invoke debate limitation which
requires a two-thirds vote.
ut is not a good time to start
a filibuster and it is not a good
time to try and break one" Taft
said after the session. but the
only thing to do, in my opinion, is
to attempt to break the filibuster
starting Monday"
Taft's threat came after the COP
had turned down a request by
Senate Democratic leader ALDER
W. Barley of Kentucky that Bilbc
be permitted to take his seat, tina
the charges against him be airec
by the Rules committee, and tina
the committee report back to the
! full Senate by Jan. 20.

loss of hands, fingers and harm
full results to other parts of the
body.
He cited the case of the auto
mobile which burned in Whining
ton New Years eve night as an
example of danger to property
which results from fireworks.
Casteen indicated his support OF
any move to place a ban against
the sale of fireworks in the state,
explaining that even though they
are banned in New Hanover coun-
ty, persons a purchase them in
neighboring counties, thereby max
ing the local ordinance less ef-
fective than if a statewide law ex-
listed.
Senator-elect A. A. Lennon said
he had not as yet had the op-
portunity to study the situation as
to the damage caused by the use of
fireworks in this area and con-
sequently did not care to comment.
Earlier in the week Chief of the
Fire Department, J. Luddie Groom,
had gone on record as favoring a
ban on fireworks. Like Police
Chief Casteen, Chief Groom point
ed out the destruction Of an auto
mobile by fire due to fireworks as
a strong talking point for a COM
plete ban against them.
Representative-elect. r. M. Ker-
mon was out of town last night
and could not be contacted for
comment on the proposed legisla-
ton.

j. T. Conner, of Raleigh, entom-
ologist of the State college extern
sion service; R. W. Galphin, New
Hanover county farm demonstra-
ton agent; c. R. Cook, assistant
agent.
The inspection was to determine
the best method to control the Red
spider, an insect which does con-
siderable damage to strawberry
plants.
Galphin said last night upon re-
turn from the trip that the best
control plan was the use Of a new
powder known as Nitro-dust, and
recommended that planters spray
the plants with the powder imme-
diately.
He said that the tour was chiefly
an educational one in preparation
for the appearance Of the pest this
spring. He added they had been
quite prevalent in recent years.

incomes above $500, 900 are unearn-

ure q stipulation that on income
above that amount the reduction
would be held to 10.5 percent.
Additionally, the bill sets out:
/. The income of no person,
however high it might be, shall be
taxed over 1875 percent. The pres
ent law permits taking away as
much as 1915 percent of an income
by taxes.
Withholding Clause
2. On April 1 all tax withhold
ings from pay envelopes and salary
checks shall be reduced to meet the

withholdings from Jan. / to April

payer over IS years old is grant
ed, with each person in that age
group being allowed an additional
exemption of $500, making a total
