Texas Saves Herd Of 250 Buffalo Goodnight, Texas.—The State of Texas has come to the rescue of a herd of 2JO buffaloes. The herd, the pride of the late Col. Charles C. Goodnight, was doomed to provide sport for hunters this fall, as the present owners proposed to dis pose of the animals in a mighty last hunt. The proposal caused the Legislature to pass a bill intended to save the herd. The bill declared the buffaloes game animals and forbade their de struction. Leading the fight to preserve the herd is Fred Haskett, former West Texas newspaper man. While the State Game Commission is said to have money enough to preserve the herd and acquire land for it, Haskett pro poses to wage a State-wide campaign for raising funds by public subscrip tion for use in purchasing the 20,000 acre ranch for the herd. 1 "Dugout Dope” (This column published weekly in the interest of the Ex-service men of Rowan County). The Samuel C. Hart Post No. 14 installed the following officers for 1932 at their regular monthly meet ing Tuesday, October 6th: James H. McKenzie, Commander. Kent W. Goley, 1st Vice Com mander. R.

Discussion ot the tscorts part in the Charlotte celebration in honor of Henry L. Stevens to take place Oct ober 9th., held the floor for some time. A large number are expected to go to Charlotte who are not mem bers of the Escort. Henry is a Native Tar Heel, and we of Rowan County should turn out strong to show our appreciation of the national honor shown him and the state. The Samuel C. Hart Post hopes to carry at least SO per cent of its 1931 membership, paid up for 1932 to Charlotte and present to the new national Commander, it can be done, lets do it. The matter of cooperiation with the Salvation Army toward caring for the may needy persons during the coming winter was disscussed, and plans made whereby all who apply will receive assistance according to their needs. Under the new plan dup lication of effort will be .avoided, those who are most deserving will re ceive all assistance, while those who are neither needy or deserving will not become charges upon the local wellfare funds. The Salvation Army was a ,real Army in those dark days of 1917-1918, those soldiers of the Cross penetrated to the front lines, distributing the many necessities to the fighting men that would not have been otherwise obtainable, they stood by and with us, let us stand by and with them now, in this no less grim battle of peace days.

Kenyon of the St. Louis setting of the federal circut court of appeals, a World War veteran may work and at the same time be totally and permanently disabled. The decision is expected to effect hundreds of war risk insurance cases now before various courts, in which the government has held that gainful employment is proof that veterans are not permanently disabled.

(Signed) "Marye Shumate, Secy.-Treas., L. U. 1685 U. T. W. of A.” JUNIOR UNIONS The American Federation of Labor, through its official publication, The American Federationist, has establish ed a Junior Union Section under the personal supervision of Miss Annabel Lee Glenn. This department was cre ated because of the great need of ed ucation of boys and girls who will control the business world of the fu ture, whatever their relations to in dustry. When the children realize what the union movement has done for them and how necessary it is not only for the advancement of the wage earners but for the economic well be ing of the whole nation, they will carry into their educational develop ment and life activities an apprecia cion of che unjon as a constructive i agency which should be utilized as a force for a social and economic prog ress. FIVE DAY WEEK GROWS The Department of Labor, after compiling reports from more than 37,000 establishments, submit the fol lowing enjoying the five day week on a permanent basis: Union members, (non manu facturing) . 443,197 Union members, in manufac turing ......112,541 Non union, manufacturing, (estimated) . 434,000 Trade, service, utilities, mines.. 46,700 Total . 1,036,538 THE HYPOCRISY OF WAGE rr TTTFRS For weeks prior to wage cuts of 10 to 20 per cent writers in iron and steel journals carried on a persistent propaganda in favor of wage reduc tion using the argument that the price of iron and steel products were too high to secure maximum consumption THE WAGE CUTS WERE MADE and now the Wall Street journal states "Steel producers see no point in the suggestion that the savings from wage cuts be passed on to buyers.” The New York Times, special from Pittsburgh, states "Investigation in the industry indicates that it is the view among leaders that steel prices should be maintained.” Of course the real reason for the wage cut was to transfer the money saved in wages to the stockholders in dividends. But telling the trutn before the cut would have brought forth too much public opposition. Theref )re, the wage cutters camouflaged their real objective with psychological dope about the wage reduction being re flected in reduced prices for steel pro ducts. PERSONAL MENTION T. C. Neil and family have been called to Gold Hill on account of se rious illness of his brother-in-law, R. C. McCarn, the latter being a former resident of Spencer and an employee of the Southern Railway. Little hope is held for his recovery. J. E. Sullivan has returned from Alexandria, Va., where he filled a temporary vacancy for some months. Brother Sullivan is now working on his old position at the Spencer Shop. !
