THOSE AFTER JOBS SHOULD REGISTER High Wage* To Be Paid Un der Schedule Set Up By The Government Dully Ulspnlch In Ihe Sir Walter Hotel. RV J. C. BASKERVII.Iv Raleigh, Nov. 20. —Any who are now unemployed an dwho wish to get jobs under the Civil Works Administration should register at once at the nearest county Reemployment Service office, otherwise it will be impossible for. them to secure any jobs under the I Civil Works or Public Works Admin- I istrations. it. was pointed out foday by State Director Campus M. Waynick of the Remployment Service. There J are now 83 reemployment offices open i in the Sfate with from one to three j offices in every county. So there is. no reason why every unemployed person who wants a job should nSt register a< once. These offices regis ter both ksilled and unskilled labor. The wage scale for those on civil works projects is the same as for those j on public works projects and ranges from 45 cents an hour for unskilled Labor to sl.lO an hour for skilled labor with a maximum week of 30 hours. The only difference between the Pub- ( lie Works and Civil Works projects is that the Public Works labor is on con tract over a given period for the duration of the particular project, while all Civil Works labor must be on a by-the-day basis. However, the plan is to provide as many days work as labor as is necessary for each in <Continued * Page Five.)

RV J. C. BASKERVILL. Ra'eigh. Nov. 20.—The attention of those in polifical circles is again be ing focused on the contest for na tional committeeman 'n the State as a result of the conference here Sat urday between Governor J. C. B. Eh ringhaus and State Democratic Chair man J. Walace Winborne, of Marion, j despite the fact that neither of them would make any statement with re gard to the vacancy or as when a meeting of the State Democratic Exe cutive Committee would be caled to fil it. Th'- vacancy was caused by the resignation of former Governor O. Max Gardner several weeks ago. There is stil more talk about C. Leßoy Shuping, of Greensboro in con nection with this post than any other of sev ral whose names have been mentioned, probably because Shuping seems to be the*only one whose back ers are making a determined cam paign for him. One Greensboro law yer who has been busy writing let ters in behalf of Shuping announced here recently that Shuping already had enough votes pledged from mem bers of the State Democratic Execut ive Committee to elect him. But this claim is being taken with a grain of sa’t here. For there are others men tioned in connection with the post of national committeeman including Julian Price, president of the Jeffer son Standard Life Insurance Com pany. of Greensboro and Major L. P. McLendon, now also of Greensboro, though formerly of Durham; also J. O. Cary, of Wilmington, who many think will be more acceptable to the executive committee than Shuping. In fact, the principal objection to' Shuping is not that he is not able and efficient —he proved he wos both of these when he was campaign manager for Senator J. W. Bailey in his cam paign again Senator F. M. Simmons —but the fear that he will be too inclined to look out for the interests of Shuping Senator Bailey and gressman W. B. Umsfead of Durham first, and of the Democratic party as a whole only incidentaly. Those who know Shuping and who have follow ed his style of politics, maintain that he belongs to the old school of politi cians who took care of their friends and who were ruthless with those who opposed them.
