Max Gardner, former gov ernor and counsel for the Cotton Textile institute, told the North Carolina Cotton Manufacturers association at Pinehurst this morning. “I am going to speak to you to day about a subject which I think, at this particular time, is of fun damental and far-reaching impor tance to the textile industry in North Carolina.” said Mr. Gardner, nf I am right in this conclusion it is of equal importance to the in dustry as a whole. "My subject is The Menace of the Third Shift. "For the first time since the Summer of 1933, the cotton textile Industry is showing evidence of getting on its feet again. After a long period of adversity we have every reason to rejoice. For the first time in a number of years the industry is now resting on a solid foundation and every indication points to a long period of stability and reasonable profits, provided a decent regard is shown for the importance of keeping production is reasonable balance with present ind prospective demands. "There is doubtless great diver sity of opinion as to the reason for this upturn and revival in cotton textiles. I have a decided view of the subject. In my judgment, the present position of the cotton tex tile industry is due in a large mea sure to the imposed lessons the In dustry apparently learned In the kindergarten days of Its operations under the unconstitutional Nation al Industry Recovery Act. I do not feel that there is a mill owner in this audience that honestly believes the cotton textile industry in all its branches would be operating full time today, with profit, if the twenty five million spindles of. this country were running on the same basis of hours and wages that pre vailed throughout the states prior to 1933.

No. 1098 is finally approved in Washington for a $150,000 high school building in Shelby, it waa learned here this morning. The county put in application over a year ago for Federal grants for the schools of Shelby and Kings Mountain, the grants to be 45 per cent of the cost of the buildings, to be matched by 55 per cent from the county. wnue much pressure nas Deen brought to bear by local people on Washington authorities for the Shelby High School, the project was worked on by number rather than by name and It was only learned this morning from Supt. B. N. Barnes of Kings Mountain and Supt. J. H. Girgg of the county schools, that both school expansion programs are included in the ap plication. It is thought, therefore, if Shelby’s high school is approv ed for the federal grant that Kings Mountain’s grant will come through at the same time, much to the delight of the citizens gen erally. A recent letter from the office of Senator J. W. Bailey says Col. Hackett of the PWA department has assured favorable action on project No. 1088 just as soon as the persident returns to Washington and clears his desk from an accu mulation of official matters.

(Jp) — The triumphant return of President Roosevelt to the capital today found powerful labor groups, who backed him so strongly for re-elec tion, pressing for* new legislation reminiscent of NRA's aims, and for a major change in the social se curity act. American federation of labor chieftains tentatively mapped plans to ask the next Congress to shift the whole social security payroll tax to employers, instead of col lecting part 6f it from workers, as provided In the present law. As Mr. Roosevelt came home to receive an uproarous greeting from throngs of Washingtonians at Un ion Station and to plunge into work “to try to balance the budget,’’ aides expected him to give renewed attention to the problem of unem ployment. This problem is linked directly with that of relief expenditures, which In turn bulk huge In the present imbalanced budget. In the effort to cut unemployment, dim inish the necessity for relief, and thus make headway toward making both fiscal ends meet, the adminis tration is expected by some In formed observers to make a new move to attain certain NRA ob jectives. Speculation as to what this move would be ranged all the way from a proposal to amend the constitu tion to an attempt to obtain the supreme court’s approval of some new plan designed to raise and stabilize wages, shorted “over-long” hours and ban “unfair” trade prac tices.
