Durham, Winston-Salem and Wilmington, only 38 higher
than Charlotte; only 16 higher than Elizabeth City or
Washington; only six higher than Goldsboro, New
Bern, Oxford or Henderson.
This waa the period in which North Carolina Utilities
reached thejr peak ratea. The revised tabulation adds
no strength to their cauae. It brings a positive conviction
that North Carolina citiea having led the way to rate ex
cessea have been numbered with the 355 long enough.
Here is the reaaon : J
190 have. a lower rate than Raleigh, Durham and
Winston-Salem.
202 have a lower rate than Wilmington.

Pressure by the! government wa.
understood to hav been largely re
sponsible for the attaining of the
agreement. The controversy between
th packer aad their employes waa, the
first major labor difficulty to face" the
new adminiatration and President
Harding referred the matter to Secre
tory Davis, who ' called Am Secretaries
Hoover and Wallace to asaiat him.
Statement, iaaued by the Dertieitrttt-
ing partiee after the aigning of the
agreement showed sem. divergence of
opinion as to the real meaning of the
settlement. Secretary Davis aaid, "it
baa prevented a atrika of vry serious
consequence.." Th. employes' dele
gates, Denni. Lane and Redmond 8.
Brennan, declared "the agreement ia a
true to prepare for war.". Th packer'
representatives, James G. Condon and
Carl Meyer, declared "thia will enable
th packer to complete plant alreid;
announced to adjust between-, them
solve, and their employes all matter,
of mutual interest.'

to present evidence later oa during tha
hearing for Baleigh. The Waahingtoa'
