This census is expected. to give a complete list of all those totally unemployed, partially employed and those on the W P A, N Y A, C C C, or other emergency Work, in the United States. On Tuesday morning all City and Rural Carriers and Clerks at the Post Office at Louisburg, Franklinton and Youngsville will distribute unemployment report cards, so far as it is possible for them to do so, to every family or patron of their ofTice. These cards are to be filled in by the persons receiving them and returned to the post! office. If for any reason any person coming within the classes mentioned above fails- to get a card on Tuesday or Wednes day they should see the Carrier or call at the post office aild get one, and if anyone does not know how to fill them out they should see one of these postal officials who will gladly assist them. It is very important that you give immediate attention to this matter as it is imperative that this census be completed before the 20th. Therefore the postal authorities are appealing to the public for cooperation to the end that a complete census be made of Franklin County unemploy ables. This does not mean a job, although it may lead to that end, for anyone, but it does mean that' it will give the government the necessary figures upon which to base its relief activities in the future. Most all the other figures are estimated, these should be as nearly accurate as it is possible to get. Remember that if you get a card Tuesday or Wednesday, and are in either of the classes above you should fill in each and every blank on the card and return it at once. If you^are not In either of these classes return the card anyway. If you don't get a card call for it and fill it,.out. If you can't fill it out get a postal Clerk or Carrier to fill it out for you. Bear in mind every blank on every card must be filled in. Employers Warned Of Labor Law Maj. A. L. Fletcher, State Labor Commissioner, said Wednesday his department will try to makej the public conscious, through pro per follow-up of the law, that parents may not work their own minor children in places where such minors are prohibited from employment. He used as an illustration '-he case of a Wilson cafe operator, one of three successfully prosecut ed by the department Tuesday. I Jasper Howell, proprietor of ; the cafe, was convicted of work- ! ing his 17-year-old daughter in j his establishment, which sells t beer. Child labor law says no j minor under 18 years o? age may work in a place selling beer or wine. Howell was fined $10 and costs.

AN APPEAL The Mayor Asks For Cooperation In Cleaning Streets and lie moving Garbiifte and Trash The Town of LouUburg is anx ious to cooperate tnily in remov ing garbage and trash from the premises of our property owners, and from the streets. However, we can iioL_Iiaul large accumula tions of trash, such as limbs, trees, and debris, which arc not ordinary accumulations. ?The ex pense of hauling such, accumula tions will 'have to be borne by the person making such unusual ac cumulations. We wish to ask our citizens not to pile trash in t>lie streets, but to pile it between the sidewalk and the curb. The piling of trash iu the streets may cause a disastrous automobile wreck. Again we re quest our citizens to stop burning leaves on ou'r streets. The heat melts and ruins the asphalt street surface, thereby causing unneces sary repair expenses. We are re moving the leaves as fast as we can tlo sq. Thanking you to cooperate with us iu preventing accidents, and in preserving our public streets. I ' yours, W. C. WEBB, Mayor.

The first attempt in two years to end the bittei Hostility between the' two rival labor movement* nearly hit the rocks when the C.I.O. group, headed by Phillip Murray (right) flatly refusejl to dissolve their organization aa a condition tor peace. Now A.F.U awa ass raMsAwMus: 'Electric Eyes' Will Count Cars Highway Planning Survey To I'se Photoelectric Oil Motors to Count Traffic Eight automatic "electric eye" traffic recorders will be placed n . strategic spots on North Carolina | highways about December 1 as a part of the Stat<e Highway Plan ning Survey, it was learned yes-h terday from James L. Burch, en- : gineer in charge of the survey. This will be the first time these 1 traffic counters will have been used in this State. Four of the- devices will be placed on U. S.-t-h rough routes 1 and four on State routes, Burch said. The traffic counters operate by means of a photoelectric cell. Two beams of light, gractically invisi ble. cast from one side of the road are focussed on* two photoelectric J i cells on the other road shoulder. When both light beams are broken at the same tiiue, a record is made on a register attached to the photoelectric cell unit. Thus, k pedestrian would break only one beam at a time, while a passing automobile or truck would break, both light contacts at once. The register is so designed that at each hour, the number of con tacts made are recorded on a tape, which will show t'he day and datej of the count, as well as the hour. | The traffic counters will re main for 12 months at each place. T. A. Cousar of FayettevMIe is to be in charge of servicing the i meters. The percentage of trucks, pas senger cars, busses and other ve hicles wiil'be- estimated from the relation of yiese as determined from a 12-months manual count recently completed in which the different types of vehicles were recorded.

Arrival in th? j Capitol for Congressional Session; pretty much of an old story t<: Vice-President John N. Garner 0 who swings the Senatorial gave; over what already promises to hi one of the most turbulent gather lng3 that body has ever known. WASHINtirci Washington, November 10. ? The question which political look ers-on are asking, on the eve of the extra session of Congress, is whether any really important leg islation will be enacted or wheth er the session will resolve itself into a general talk-fest. with the anti-lynching bill and matters of foreign policy holding the floor to the exclusion of the things for which the President called the Congress together. Opinion among experienced observers is(- about equally divided, which is another #?iy of saying t>hat consl<H?rYble doubt exists as to the present^ in fluence of the President with Con gress. It is certain that he can 110 longer obtain the passage of new laws by having them written by his advisers and handing tjiem to Congress with orders for fheir enactment. The temper of both houses now is to scrutinize every proposal coming from the Admin istration with an eye to its prac ticability and necessity, as well as to its political advantages. It no longer is true that political wisdom on t'he part of^Congress men consists in "going along" with the President. Story of (lie A.A.A. As an illustration of the differ ence jtetween now and in 193;!, conipai\ the jt rouble which the House Committee oil Agriculture is having in trying to agree on a Crop Control bill, with the way in which the first Crop Control law was passed. The complete program of the A. A. A. was written in the office of Wie Secretary of Agriculture and was handed to Congress in May, 1933. with ord ers from the White House for its immediate passage. So sure was the Administration that its orders would be obeyed that) even before the measure had been sent to Capitol Hill an army of workmen was engaged to build new- offices in the Agriculture Department building, to provide rooms for the new officials who would be need ed to administer the A. A. A. Ahd t'he bill precisely as drawn up by the Executive, was passed with out a change, almost without be ing read. Can't Agree on Crop Control Now the President has asked for a new Crop Control law as the first item on t'he legislative pro gram for which he has called the special session of Congress. For three weeks the Committee on Agriculture has beeii holding meetings and listening to appeals from Administration leaders, argu ments from farm representatives and reports from the farm dis tricts brought in by members re turning to Washington after con ferring with their constituents. Yet nothing like an agreement has been reached as to what form crop control should take, even whether 4t is necessary or desirable. The majority of the committee is re ported as being definitely opposed to any inflexible and compulsory plan, such as has been proposed by Secretary Wallace. The result Is that, as., Congress meets, it is no where near ready to begin con sideration of Item No. 1 on the PresidenO's program. Friendlier Toward Busin<-v? In the matter of tax revision the outlook for any definite action by the special session seems almost equally dubious. A great deal of , strength has been added to the arguments for repeal or amend ment of the corporation surplus tax and Ihe capital gains tax. by the recent acute business depres TOBACCO SELLING WELL On Louisburg Market ? Good De mund For All Grades Although the bulk of the 1937 tobacco crop has been sold (airly good sales are being experienced each day on the Louisburg Mar ket with prices considered good for all grades, the demand for which is still strong.

Thal> business expansion has been definitely impeded by the Government's tax policies has long been contended by business leaders, recently with renewed emphasis. Now the truth of that contention is being admiMed by Administration officials, and the Treasury is reported as favoring such tax changes as will encourage capital to seek investment in new business ventures or tiie enlarge ment of existing enterprises. Iftrw far that may result in new laws at this session is anybody's guess, but there is evidence of a decided (change of tlte" Administration's at jtitude 'toward business. In the' worry over the possibility of a umajor business depression and its inevitable bad effect upon the poli tical fortunes of the party in pow er. high officials seem inclined to let up in tlie effort to punish busi ness as a whole for the sius, real or imaginary, of some business men iA the past. Some Kra>ons For Slump Failure of the expected build ing boom to materialize is regard ed here as one reason why the business situation has not improv ed as had been hoped. The reduc ied earnings Of the railroads, due to wage increases and rising cost's | of materials, liaVe curtailed their buying ability for new motive power and rolling stocky and so resulted in slackening output and reducing employment in mills and factories. The Interstate Com merce Commission " has granted rate increases to many of the rail roads, but not enough to satisfy their needs as they see them. The belief here is that the application of the Class I railroads for a gen eral 10 percent' increase in freight rates will be granted. Hall Growth of Opposition Party politics is a more lively topic of discussion here than for | many months past', with the ap parent beginning of the rejuvena tion of the Republican Party. The real leaders of Democratic thought would welcome a stronger Oppo sition than has been effective in the past few years. The movement) for a Republican conference early In 1938, at which all elements of the party would be represented, and where a concrete, clear-cut de finition of party policies may be formulated, is looked upon here as a constructive first stiep. Be cause the proposal In its beginning had the indorsement of fortner President Herbert ? Hnnvep, tf it. did not originate with him. It was looked upon with suspicion by many Republican poliMoians. { who feared that it was a bid for 'he. nomination of Mr. Hoover for 'the Presidency in 1940. His Boston 'speech, in .wUie'.. he dsftatteiy dis claimed any such desire or ambi tion, is regarded here as having cleared the atmosphere and paved the way for a general reorganisa tion of the party.
