On Observance of
State Labor Laws
Dally DlKtinteli Rurens,
In the Sir Walter Hotel.
BY J. C. BASKERVILL.
Raleigh, May 22- —Textile mills and
other manufacturing plants coming
under the State labor laws, will be
graded according to the degree with I
which they conform to these laws, it
was announced today by Commission
er of Labor A. L. Fletcher. In a
letter to ail the manufacturers in the
S ate, Commissioner F’letcher an
nounces that the new system of grad
ing manufacturing plants in accord
anc with their observance of the la
bor laws will begin June 1. He also
calls to their attention the law re
cuiring the posting of the labor laws
where all employes may read them,
and the requirements of the law with
regard to inspection.
In announcing the new plan for
grading manufacturing plants, the
letter just sent out by Commissioner
Fletcher says:
“Beginning June 1, 1933, our inspec
tors will grade every mill which they
inspect. They will take into consid
eration compliance with the Labor
Laws, cleanliness of premises, ven
tilation, lighting, heating, safety ap
pliances, safety education and first
aid training, drinking water and gen
eral working conditions. The inspec
tor will leave with the Superintendent
a certificate of grade, showing how
it was arrived at. It is believed that
this service will prove helpful to all
manufacturers who are interested in
maintaining a high standard along
’.hese lines. May yours be a “Grade
V Mill.”
The letter also calls the attention
:;f the manufactures to the fact that
oil Department of Labor inspectors
must te admitted to their plants
“without delay, day or night” and that
employes should be instructed to this
effect. “It is not always wise for
an inspector to report at the office
and have the management furnish a
guide of some official to acompany
him,” the letter continues. “Frequent
complaints come to me that ‘the in
spector saw only what the manage
ment wnated him to see.’ So far your
oWn protection, therefore, i*ace no
lcstrictions on the inspectors.”

sist upon the rights of neutrality.
Mr. Davis also announced that the
United States advocates a system of
control and supervision of armaments
and said that American readiness to
participate in measures for this con
trol would be effective, automatic and
permanent.
Inferentially opposing a brisk re
vision of treaties, the American am
bassador-at-large urged the mainten
ance of the territorial status quo.
He revealed that his country defines
an aggressor as one whose armed
forced are found upon foreign ter
ritory in violation of treaties.
He also announced that the United
States is opposed to the re-armament
of any nation, and declared in favor
of the abolition of offensive arms. He
reiterated American acceptance of
Prmler MacDonald’s reent disarma
ment proposals.
Turning to the Versailles treaty,
and its consequences, Mr. Davis ex
pressed the conviction that there is a
contractural obligation for armed na
tions to reduce their arments to a de
fensive level which would be com
parable to the levels to which the
vanquishd powers were obligated to
reduce their armaments by the peace
treaties.
He referred to President Roosevelt’s
proposal for an international agree
ment to prevent the sending of armed
forces outside the national territory
and then gave his definition of an
aggressor nation as in line with that
proposal.

Harriman
Trial Off
Full Week
, >■- -■ . * * ■ * V* ' \
New York, May 22. —(AP) —Trial of
Joseph W. Harriman, former chair
man of the Harriman National Bank
atid Trust Company, who is charged
w.th falsifying the accounts of the
bank, was postponed for a week today
ES Harriman himself lay in Nassau
county hospital recovering from a
self-inflicted wound.
Counsel for Harriman offered to
’produce him at once for trial if the
prosecution desired, but United States
Attorney George C. Medalie chara
cter.zed this suggestion as “ridi
culous”. #
Although postponing the trial only
one week. Judge Henry Goodard said
the case was subject, to further post
ponement, as it is intended to have it
follow the income tax fraud trial of
Charles K. Mitchell, former head of
the National City Bank, which is now
in progress.
Harr.man stabbed himself Saturday
after being found by police in a Long
Island hotel after having been miss
ing for a day.
New Conservation
Board To Be Named
(Continuec rrom Page One.)
who think Colonel Harrelson has no
particular desire to stay on as the
head of this department, and that he
is ready to go back to his professor
ship at State College which he re
linquished four years ago when for
mer Governor O. Max Gardner ap
pointed him as the head of the con
servation department. Most of those
close to Harrelson, however, believe
he will accept the appointment to con
tinue as head of th e department if
it is offered to him, however.
One of the several names being
mentioned as a possible choice for the
director of the department, however,
is that of Representative R. Bruce
Etheridge, of Dare county, for 'many
years a member of the board of con
servation and a close personnef friend
of Governor Ehringhaus. It is gen
erally conceded here that Eitheride
can have almost any State post he
mao want and that if he wants the
conservation post, he is very likely
to get it; However, Etheridge is being
mentioned in connection with several
posts regarded as far more important
and far more lucrative than the con
servation job, with the result that he
is not regarded as an active conten
der for the directorship. Many be
lieve Etheridge is more likely to be
appointed commissioner of banks or
to some office having to do with the
finances o fthe State, since he is a
banker.
Others being mentioned in connec
tion with the directorship of the con
servation department are Representa
tive G. A. Barden, of New Bern,
Craven county; Senator Carl Bailey,
of Plymouth, Washington county, and
Robert A. Wellons, attorney of Char
lotte. Both Barden and Bailey were
tmong the leaders of the administra
tion forces in the House and Senate,
while Barden was regarded as one of
the “three musketeers” of the admin
istration in the House. There is litle
doub that Barden Is in line for a
good S'ate appointment, if he wants
one, But the general opinion here is
that he is not particularly anxious
for it. Nor is it believed that Senator
Bailey, of Plymouth, is at all inter
ested in any State job right now.
The name of Wellons has only re
cently been heard here, when a dele
gation appeared before Governor Eh
ringhaus in his behalf last week. No
one here has been able to learn of
any particular reason why Wellons
should be given the job and the pre
vailing view is that he does not have
r. chance at it.
There are also five vacancies on the
board of conservation to be filled, the
terms of four members having ex
pired. while one member has resign
ed. Those whose terms have expired
are James G. K. McClure, of Ashe
ville; Lee B. Weathers of Shelby; S.
Wade Marr, of Raleigh, and D. L.
Ward, of New Bern. The fifth va
cancy was caused by the resignation
of Ed. D. Cranford, of Asheboro.
Most of these were appointed either
by former Governor A. W|. McLean or
by former Governor Gardner. As a
result, it is expected that they will
all be replaced by new appointees, al
though it is understood that some of
these are making a strony effort to
secure reappointment. It would not
be surprising if both Barden and
Bailey should be named as members
of this board. Senator W. D. Bur
gin, of Thomasville, and Representa
tive H. E. Olive, of Lexington, are
also being mentioned as possible ap
pointees to the conservation board.
Huge Acreage Retirement
Fund Proposed By Smith

and other basic commodities listed in
the farm bill.
Smith said he .found Wallace eager
“to get started” on an acreage pro-.
tec‘ion program, applying to cotton
planted this year, but “apparently un
able to do anything quickly unless
more than the $100,000,000 set aside in
he farm act is made available to
finance acreage retirement will not
be used while the international tariff
truce is in effect, because of its pro
v.sion for compensatory import taxes”
Smith said that, while the truce is
to (continue throughout the
(London economic conference, ‘‘money
is needed to retire cotton acreage long
before the conferenc ewill be ovr, and
thei should be no delay on acreage re
duction, because of the vast surplus
of cotton.”
The program should make use of
the option plan, he said and the volun
tary domestic allotment plan and land
leasing in combination with benefit
payments for growers who retire acre
age to be made at the time of retire
ment.

In the Sir Walter Hotel.'
J C. RAtKERTIIL.
Raleigh, May 22.—“ Somebody seems
determined to get me into a new au
tomobile; I almost believe you fel
lows are framing up something to
compel me to ride in a new car,
whether I want to or not,” Governor
J. C. B. 1 Ehringhiaus said to his
private secretary, Charles Powell,
when he walked out of his office in
the Capitol Saturday to find a brand
new sedan of the laiest design wait
ing for him, instead of the regular
old Lincoln sedan that has been in
use for about four years.
“I have told you boys that I am
not going to permit the State to buy
a new automobile for the governor,
even If the General Assmbly did pass
a bill authorizing it,” Govrnor Eh
ringhaus said.
It was then explained to the gov
ernor that the old State-owned Lin
coln, which has been driven several
hundred thousand miles during the
last four years is being overhauled and
that this new twelve cylinder sedan
had merely been loaned to the State
by the garage doing the overhauling,
to be used by the governor while the
old car is in the shop. It was not until
this explanation had been made that
the governor consented to enter the
'car. He agred that the new sdan was
a “great job” and the last word in
■motor car construction. But he still
believes that the old Lincoln is good
enough for him and that the State
should not spend any money at this
time for anything that is not needed.
