«Industry To
"Go To Hell"
PHILADELPHIA IIP) CIO
President Philip Murray told
the steel industry today tq
“go to hell” for trying to bar
'% gain down the 26-cents-au
hour pay raise recommend
ed by, the Wage Stabilization
Board for his United Steel
Workers.

at the union’s convention cheering
to their feet as he hotly assailed
the industrys’ role in the six-month
contract battle.
He accused the steel companies
of violating the "rul*, oi common
decency” and promised that “they
are not going to get away with it."
Murray told the delegates that
the union is determined to get the
26-cent three-installment wage and
fringe package recommended by
the board.

BLISTERING SPEECH
In a blistering 70-minute speech
Murray accused the industry of
spending "millions of dollars in tax
payers’ money” for “slanderous”
advertising in the big steel con
tract battle.
He said the advertising is “cal
culated to deceive the American
people" and charged that the oper-
A a tors have “extorted money from
W the pocketbooks of every man and
woman in this convi-^>„>!”
The industry, Murray said, has
“arrogarvty defied and wilfully vio
lated - not the rules of the game
- but the rules of common de
cency.

Seventh District Has

Daily Record Bureau Assn. Afternoon Dailies
By LINN NISBET
RALEIGH According to official North Carolina
Manuals the counties now comprising the seventh con
gressional district have furnished three United States Sen
ators and 22 Representatives in the Congress since the
first session convened in 1789. Harnett is one of these
countjes.
There have been numerous
changes in countv lines since estab
lishment of the United States Gov
ernment 164 years (1789) and
some of the early addresses listed
on ‘ official records are confusing.
When New Hanover county was
formed in 1729 it contained most
of the area now embraced in the
seventh congressional district, pins
a lot more. Bladen was organized
in 1734 out of New Hanover
and had no recognizable western
boundaries. Changes In county lines
prior to 1789 would not affect list
iris’s after that date.
Columbus county was formed In
1808- out of Bladen and Bruns
wick.* and there we-e subsequent
annexations of additional territory
from Bladen. All of Pender and a
poohlv part of Sampson used to
he New Hanover. As late as 1911
Hoke county was formed out of
Cumberland and Robeson. For these
reasons it is nrobable that congress
men credited to New Hanover,
Bladen, Cumberland or Robeson

Youth Board Has
Little Trouble
With Civic Items
A new board of commissioners
took over the affairs of Dunn last
night and turned in a creditable
performance in meeting together as
a town board to solve city prob
lems, as part of Dunn’s Youth Ral
ly.
With Tommy Waggoner serving
as City Manager and Harry Driver
as Mayor the group solved the prob
lems presented on an agenda, sim
ilar to one at a regular board meet
ing with the efficiency of veteran
cPv legislators.
Items on the agenda had been
selected by City Manager Oliver O.
Manning, so that the youthful
board would be able to handle a
group of problems similar to those
that would ordinarily come up at
a regular board meeting.
The actions taken by the Youth
Day board are official, however,
and the action they took on the
various problems with which they
were confronted will be taken as
the board directed.
Items such as having City em
ployes spread the rat poison in
stead of supplying citizens with,
the preparation to spread met the
disapproval of the board because
of its cost. Thus, this board, too,
protected the money of the tax
payers.
PREPARE MINUTES

prepared by City Clerk Fay Jack
son. along the same lines that min
utes are prepared by City Clerk
