I I I CAPITAL HOST TO AMERICAN LEGION Gov. Gardner Thinks Strikes Should Be Settled By Men Sitting Around Table TOLL OF DEATH HEAVY By M. L. SHIPMAN RALEIGH, Aug. 27.?The eleventh annual convention of the North Carolina department of the American Legion and its auxiliary is now in session here and the capital city ? ! of the State is playing me ruie v* host to the very best of its ability. Tonight the greatest parade ever staged in North Carolina is expected to be pulled off, with around 40 floats and ten bands and drum corps leading the way, one of the drum corps being the only negro organization of the kind in the world. The reviewing stand located at the old Yarborough Hotel illuminated with twelve high-powered flood lights will afford a splendid view of the colorful parade and, at the same time, enable the Hearst newsreel service now on the scene to take pictures which will give Raleigh and North Carolina valuable publicity all over the country. American Legion decorations and flags have been placed on more than 100 store fronts in Raleigh and the city is in gala attire for an event which has filled all the hotels, boarding houses and many of the private homes. Delegates to the convention this Tiro of Vio/^rroc? -f/vr fho "fircf t.imp J nv?l K/ MUgW av* V14V A?4WV v*M*v at the annual meetings of the Legion and 3,750 of these have been provided by the local committee in anticipation of a record attendance. The badges feature the legion color scheme of red, white and blue and are very attractive. The principal contenders for the office of State Commander are Colonels George K. Freeman, of Goldsboro, and Hodge A. Newell, of Henderson with friends , of both candidates claiming sufficient strength to put his favorite across. Two Strikes on Governor The strike of textile workers at Marion has claimed the attention of ' Governor Gardner, who has been ; vacationing at his old home in Shelby the past few weeks, and Judge N. A. Townsend, executive counsel, who was called to the scene early in the week. Anticipat- . Ing violence, State troops were or- ; dered to Marion, but have not been called into action. Conferences re- ' quested by Governor Gardner be- 1 tween representatives of the mill involved and striking employees. 1 with Judge Townsend presiding, did not bring the contending parties together and the Governor decided to frame terms of his own for presentation accompanied by an intimation that the whole power of his administration would be put behind these terms. The Governor also declared that the need for a State board of arbitration and conciliation to handle industrial disorders has become apparent. The Governor says he can see no reason why intelligent men sitting around , a table cannot reach an agreement, if both sides are willing to be fair. A goodly number of manufacturers, shippers and representatives of traffic organizations were here during the week with the avowed purpose or ngnting ror lower ireignt rates. The outcome of the meeting was the organization of the North Carolina Traffic League which is considered the initial- step in paving the wey for an aggressive contest for a re-adjustment on the traffic structure in the State as it now affects shippers. Julius Cone, manufacturer, of Greensboro was chosen president and 20 prominent shippers of the State were named to constitute a board of governors. The organization is the outgrowth of a movement started by Governor Gardner in July to correct rate abuses and members of the League nrnnncp fn rnisp an exnense fund of WJ/VVV VW X $100,000 with which to "carry on." The State Corporation Commission will cooperate, it is said. Toll of Death Heavy It appears that North Carolina's excellent highways were literally strewn with lifeless human bodies the past month, despite the timely warnings of the State Highway Patrol and the operation of traffic laws.

TH FANCY a broad expanse of lake ; whose shimmering bosom . otrotr-Vips miles awav to disau- i pear in the haze of a horizon of summer clouds, and this little j bungalow in a wooded setting facing , upon it. That is the sort of picture ( that has a lure in the vacation sea- ] son. And it is this type of summer home that the farseeing man is building more and more of late. It is the new type that insures durability under the neglect that is well nigh inescapable with the average summer cottage. In the bygone years most summer communities, especially lakeside resorts, offered little else than a flimsy type of cottage which was more or less a makeshift for the vacation period. Folk found that after a comparatively short time they more or less went to pieces, leaked, decayed from lack of paint, lent deaths were reported for July f and 45 of these are attributed to s automobile accidents. An increase e of 12 per cent in deaths from this c cause in the State during the first c six months of 1929 over a similar c period last year is said to be more c than double the rate of increase of ? the nation at large, which was 5.8 t per cent. The motor vehicle bureau of the State Department of f Revenue finds that there were 295 r fatalities in this State through June v as against 262 for the same period i ast year and the July report brought s the total for this year to 352 dead j and 2,589 injured. A continuance of t the present rate to the end of the year would bring the total deaths r to around 30,000 in the country ac- ? cording to estimates of the National j Safety Council, with North Caro- f lina takiflg "first rank." t The State Board of Health re- C ports that tuberculosis claimed 199 t victims in North Carolina during f July, diarrhea and enteritis 164, I pallagra 99, pneumonia 238, septic r sore throat 58, typhoid and paraty- 1 I J.

Half a dozen other cases 'on appeal" are pending and more vill likely follow as time passes and jrovisions of the law become better cnown. Another Tune To Turner Another imposter has been exDased. Paul Turner, who palmed -limself off at the State's Prison as ;he "Mystery Man" while he was serving a term for manslaughter as ;he result of running over and Idling a man in Hendersonville early in 1927, turns out to be Paul Heroert Schmidt with a checkered car<w and a. number of Drison records behind him. But the public became none the wiser until after the man tiad toured the State giving concerts as a baritone singer and deceived an innocent young woman into becoming his wife. In a joint statement by the State Treasurer and the State Auditor the State had a cash balance on July 1st of $2,121,079.23 and August 1st it had climbed to $2,789,925 55, a gain of $67,846.32. Recently the Duke Power Company paid into the treasury its tax for the present year amounting to $182,000, this being a rate of 2 per cent of gross receipts, but that is not included in the balance. Payment has not yet been made of the $80,000 additional amount demanded by the Department of Revenue for back taxes. On the first of the month the State Highway fund had a cash balance bf $6,057,929.28 and the bonded indebtedness of the State was placed at $174,592,600. j Claims for compensation under the provisions of the Workmen's! Compensation Act continue to pour into the office of the Industrial Commission at a rate of more than 200 per day which keeps the three :cmmissioners and twenty-one employees busy checking up and making decisions.
