j INWASHINGTON WHAT - IS TAKING PLACE BY h r^i tfvLxwvtrU^. UNITED STATES sENATOF NATOR or Any survey of the NAtional leg islative situation at the half-way point of the Special Session of Congress, while not wholly en couraging from the standpoint of giving^ needed reassurance to in dustry, business and agriculture, does disclose some cheering fac tors. The more outstanding of1 these are: 1. Tax revision is no longer something to merely be wished for, but Is assured at the regular 1 session beginning in January. If the Senate were empowered to I originate revenue legislation, it is likely Dhat it tvould be undertak en at the current special session. But the prerogative of originat- L ing revenue laws is reserved to ! ] the House of Representatives. 2. New farm legislation, while temporarily bogged down with , amendments and disagreements, < , promises to be finally drafted with ; more real thought and real desire to help agriculture than any other similar measure of recent times. , 3.. The recommendation by j . President Roosevelt calling for a drastic cut in Federal ? highway funds has thrown the question of cutting Federal expenditures into bold relief. Regardless of the 1 merits or demerits of the Presi dent's proposal, it now seems evi- ' dent that t'he Congress must find, as speedily as possible, the point' where needless spending ends and real economy begins. _ 4. That there will be more and more a tendency to adjust sectional differences of opinion ou legislation on t^ie basis of com promise. Members of .Congress j from eastern industrial sections . want a wage-and-hour bill. Like-; wise, members from agricultural sections want immediate action on | farm legislation. Naturally, in a situation of this character. North ! Carolina, both industrial and ag ricultural. sets astride these sec tional differences. There is agree ment that the best interest of the country as a whole is the point of compromise, although sometimes difficult' to reach. ??While North Carolina is, of course, vitally interested in tax revision and farm assistance, a matter of immediate concern is, the President's recommendation on highway. This is true because, the Chief Executive has urged a cancellation of all road authoriza tions made by Congress for the fiscal year 1939, under past proce-| dure, these 1939 funds would be I allocated to the states before Jan uary 1, 1938. Thus the question; of whether North Carolina will secure some $4,250,000 inlantici pated Federal road funds in l-he fiscal year beginning July 1. 1938, is an important question. Informed opinion at mo ment seems to be that the Con gress can hardly act within t'he time between now and December e 22, vhe date tentatively set for'j adjournment. As a result, it is g not unlikely that the apportion- j i raent of road funds for the 1939 i fiscal year will be made as origi nally scheduled. Consideration i may be given to a curtailment of I road expenditures at t'he regular I session beginning in January. j Speaking of the legislative situ- c ation as a whole, the deadlocks, disagreements and delays in Con- t gress are in themselves that sen- I timent from "back home" is hav- i ing an Influence on Congressional a procedure. It is in such times t that compromise is essential, des- < pite the fact that compromise Is t slow. But it assures the country t more efficient law machinery. i Subscribe to the Franklin Timea $1.50 Per Tear In Advance Watch Your Kidneys/ Help Them Cleanse the Blood of Harmful Body Waste T <m kMtejr* touteatlr Oat, If ntaM. an d *?d apart tk* vtola U ? tka ?yrf a ImHm at mim DOANS PILLS Takes USSR Post MOSCOW - . .

Imme liately after the settlement of the rcent strike of certain Grey bound bus drivers, full schedules were again in operation, effective December 1st. Except in isolated cases, service had been maintain ed throughouti the period of the strike but some schedules had been omitted. With the resump tion of all scheduled runs ? inclu ding suburban ? the paBSenger volume nose to normal at once, with every indication pointing to heavier Mian usual pre-hollday travel. Following a deadlock in nego tiating a contract between execu tives of eight Greyhound bus loniik-uies, serving 18 States east of Chicago and St. Louis, and rep-, resentatives of the Brot-herhood | of Railroad Trainmen, a strike i was called by members of the) Railroad Trainmen effective atj 12; 01 A. M.. November 25th, 1937. Approximately 1,300 men were effected by the etrike call, of which number about 4 0 per cent refused to leave their jobs. Effects of the strike call were felt immediately in some sections. Operations on Greyhound Lines were declared at Philadelphia and J Boston. In Cleveland, headquar ters for both the bus opmpany and 1 the labor union, some local ser i vice was cancelled, but all inter state schedules moved without I interruption. In Buffalo. ? inter- 1 1 state operations were curtailed j the first two days of t-he strike, ' but thereafter all schedules were moved on time. Normal opera tions of all bus schedules through out the strike of seven days, were observed at Pittsburgh, New York, ! Chicago,' Cincinnati, Detroit and I Syracuse. Efforts of Mr. John Conners, of | the Department of Labor, bore I fruit on December 1st, the dead line set by Greyhound officials for> strikfhg drivers to return to work i or be classified as having resign ed, and the agreement offered by Greyhound officials to t'he drivers previous to the strike, was accep ted by them almost without change. In the contract, the application for a "closed shop" on the part of the Railroad Trainmen was de nied. A raise in the base pay of one quarter cent per mile, effec tive July 1st, 1938, to all drivers was accepted. All drivers, with' the exception of those guilty of destruction of company property during the strike, were returned to work, December 2nd. . Only the Greyhound Lines oper ating east of Chicago and St. Louis and North of Louisville, Ky., and Norfolk, Va., were ef fected by the strike.
