As Motor Car Plants
Cease Operations.
The proposed Federal interven
.i„n in the deadlocked steel strike
placed in the lap of Miss Per
line Secretary of Labor last
Ikht President Roosevelt, who
reived the plea for intervention
from the steel strikers, immediate
ly tamed the matter over to the
National Labor Relations Board
„d to Miss Perkins.
A showdown in the western area
0f the controversy involving three
hie independent steel producers
affecting 73,000 men was
averted temporarily.
Governor Frank Murphy, Micni
«n stepped into the “labor holi
day” at Lansing. The United
Automobile Workers of America
ailed the demonstration. All mo
tor car plants there suspended op
erations. Virtually all downtown
stores were closed. Several thous
and unionists and sympathizers
joined in a protest against the ar
rest of pickets.
Including in the papers sent to
Secretary Perkins by the President
were appeals from steel strikers in
two agencies in a day marked with
new disputes and demonstrations
and an endorsement of wage and
hour legislation by John L. Lewis,
chairman of the Committee for In
dustrial Organization.
As steel operations declined 15
points under average of a month
ago, Senator ridBges (R-N.H.) de
manded a Senate investigation of
reports that the Post Office had
declined to deliver food to work
men in picketed mills in Ohio.
Judge Hayes Firm
On Liquor Stand
Addresses Grand Jury To
Serve Federal Court In
Greensboro During Week.
Judge Johnson J. Hayes, well
known jurist of this district who
has lived for many years in Greens
boro, made a ringing charge to the
federal grand jury as that body
prepared to serve the week in court
there.
Addressing the grand jurors
particularly and a well filled court
room generally, Judge Hayep de
voted a considerable portion of his
message to the evils of liquor, to
the effect of olcohol on the human
system and the fallacy that legaliz
ed control will eliminate the boot
leger. The propaganda being spr
ead, coupled with the increasing use
of liquor and the new victims en
gulfed almost daily, combine to re
quire that serious thought be given
the subject. The court declared
that the only way to be sure of
avoiding becoming a victim of drink
is to refrain from its use entirely.
The more the matter is considered
in a sane manner, the more apt the
people are to advocate and support
full law enforcement. The tragedy
of the evil should hold the atten
tion of every serious-minded per
son, declared Judge Hayes.
Urging the fallacy of the argu
ment for revenue from liquor,
Judge Hayes pointed to the strides
made by North Carolina in the
past 30 years in public school and
college education, in manufacturing
in agriculture and in municipal
and good roads development, the
period following the enactment of
legislation education, in manufac
turing, in agri- of liquor and all
brought about without liquor rev
enue.
“It is time for the average citi
zen to think about these things,
and become aroused to the true
facts,” Judge Hayes declared. The
jurist felt that when men and wo
men calmly weighed all the facts
nut one conclusion could be reach
ed and that was to make the in
sidious drink as scarce as possiple.

Giant Plane Has
Been Found, Utah
Bodies Buried Six Month*
I .Found; Five Men And Twol
Women Were Passengers.
After having been lost six
months, a once-mighty air liner
lost nearly six months, was found
on June 6th near Alpine, Utah. The
bodies of the occupants of the
plane were buried in drifts 25 to 50
feet deep. The liner itself was so
badly battered and tom that the
“largest piece above the snow
where it crashed was no bigger
than a wash tub.”
The discovery was made on Lake
Hardy ridge, five miles up a tor
tuous mountain trail from this vil
lage in the Wasatch mountains 25
miles southeast of Salt Lake City.
The ridge is 35 miles east of the
regular airline course. The craft
was lost in rain and fog.
Four men, natives of this region,
walked upon signs of the tragedy
almost simultaneously at 8 a.m. to
day, They announced they would
seek to share the $1,000 reward of
fered by Western Air Express for
the craft which vanished last De
cember 15.
One report denied flatly by those
who found the ship and also by
airplane officials, was that the bod
ies had been found. Officials said
it might be days before they could
be uncovered. |
A report the plane “exploded”
before it crashed into the moun
tain peak—only about 20 feet from
the highest pinnacle—was prom
ptly discounted.

of the government, helping farm
owners, conservation of soil, water
and power resources and the raz

The Asheboro Chamber of Com

The approval of the Chamber,
however, is dependent upon the pri
or approval of the merchants in
general. Members of the Chamber
indicated an up-to-date city direc
tory would be of great value to
the city not only to merchants but
to residents generally. It also,
they said, would be of great value
in determining the population of
the city.
The Chamber appointed a spe
cial committee including C. C.
Cranford, C. W. McCrary, and S.
B. Steadman to revise the by-laws
of the organization.

Examination Of
State Domestics
Dr. CarTv! Reynolds Saji ilo
cal Officers Will Not Be
Compelled to Perform.
Raleigh, June 7.—The examina
tion of domestic servants will not
be generally thrust upon local
health officers, Dr. Carl V. Rey
nolds, State Health Officer, made
clear Tuesday night, when he re
leased for publication extracts
from a letter he had mailed these
local officials, in connection with
an act ratified March 22, 1937.
“At a recent meeting of the Ex
ecutive Committee of the North
Carolina State Board of Health,”
Dr. Reynolds wrote, “it was decid
ed that the public health officer
should examine, under this act, on
ly such servants as are referred to
the health department by private
physicians, or certified to the
health department by the welfare
department, as indigent. All those
cases who are able to pay private
physicians for this service are to
go to private physicians. How
ever, the public health officers
should cooperate with the private
physician in following up work of
contacts and in making Wasser
man tests on all referred to them.
This was the recommendation of
the executive committee of your
Board of Health.
“We realize,” Dr. Reynolds
continued, “that the examination
of all domestic servants, if done by |
health department, would be a ra-J
ther large order for any health de
partment, and all of those patients
who can afford to pay a private
physician should go to his or her
physician.
“A number of the health officers
have made inquiry as to how nulth
of this work they should do, and
we trust the above action taken by
the Executive Committee of the
State Board of Health will serve
to clarify your position as health
officer,” Dr. Reynolds concluded.
It would be a loss indeed to give
them up. They are interested in
the betterment of everything and
everybody and cooperate to that
end all the time.
The revival at the Methodist
church is in progress and much
