Launch State-Wide Drive On Defective Lights “Labor news By F. T. CORNELIUS, Secretary Salisbury-Spencer Central Labor Union NEW AGREEMENT The local Barbers Union, while feel ing compelled to reiterate their pre vious opinion that as a matter of right and justice they could not be called on to lower-their price list. Nor wish ing to give any assent to the theory that wage reductions are to be regard ed ordinarily as the appropriate means to promote prosperity and not being in accord with the belief that public welfare is advanced by reducing the purchasing power of labor, have agreed after careful consideration to meet the demands of public sentiment and un fair competition from those who ad mitted their inability to compete on a fair basis and had for some time pre vious run cut rate shops, by putting into effect a new price list which brings the price of union shops and union services into a favorable compet itive position and answers every argu ment of those who favor lowest pric es and at the same time still adhere to union principles which insure best of service. RAILROADS ANSWER After securing permission from the I. C. C. to raise freight rates the rail roads are cutting rates to meet truck competition. Two important instanc es occurred last week. The Western trunk line committee has approved a plan designed to get back the L. C. L. freight-less than cat load lots.—The new tarffs will be submitted to the I. C. C. in time to go into effect during March. In the East, the Jennsylvania, Jersey Central and Reading have asked for permission to cut the freight on mixed lots. Also changes are being made to provide greater convenience to the shipper. STILL FIGHTING Although the LaFollette-Costigan relief bill was defeated in Senate by a vote of 48 to 3 5 the sponsors of the bill with the aid of organized labor are determined to press the issue. A by-partisan combinaton of ad ministration Republicans and Demo crats who followed the lead of Sena tor Joe Robinson of Arkansas togeth er with Senator Fess of Ohio are giv en credit for the defeat of the bill which provided for $375,000,000 for unemployment relief. It will require no effort on the part of members of the labor movement of the nation to determine those among our representatives who are inclined to be fair to the masses as a complete roll call on this bill has been sent trorn coast to coast and local labor regrets to find the Senators from North Car olina voting with those who provide millions for bankers and railroads but not one Federal cent for Humanity. However, the fight is not lost and labor with all its influence will con tinue to fight until present Js^lorable conditions are relieved. Eunice—Has the doctor you’re en gaged to got money?
