Washington, Jan. 27.—(AP) The
Senate silver bloc showed its strength
today but failed to secure adoption
of an amendment to the administra
tion money bill providing for pur
chase of the white metal until it
reached a ratio of 16 to 1 with gold.
Under speech-making limitations
expected to result, in passage of the
monetary bill in late afternoon, the
Senate went through more silver in

claiming their amendment would “ma
terially assist," rather than hinder,
the Roosevelt program.

of Failure of Voluntary Sign-Up Effort
Washington,, Jan. 27 HAP) —With
the voluntary cotton acreage reduc

nesday, Secretary Wallace made it
plain today that the administration
consideration of possible compulsory
measures was not a “confession” ’that
it expected the sign-up drive to fall

At the same time, the Farm Ad

of time for signing the contracts,
which might be granted, particularly
in those areas where the drive start
ed late, or where contract blanks were
not distributed at the start of the

The compulsory measures referred

“The voluntary approach,” Secre

Strike Os
Waiters In
N, Y. Grows
New York, Jan. 27.—(AP) —A strike
of waiters and kitchen help had
spread through most of New Yof-k’s
hotels today.
Called by the Amalgamated Hotel
and Restaurant Workers Union,
which claims a membership of 30,000.
the strike was seen as "a test of the
NRA" by Norman Thomas, Socialist
leader. He addressed a mass meeting
last night.
The number of workers out was
hard to determine. The union refused
to make an estimate until later to
day. A survey compiled from state
ments of hotel managements last
night showed 663 out. The answer of
j the hotels to demand of the union,
) which set a deadline of 5 p. m. for
their acceptance, was to recruit re
serve staffs.
Guests at the Park Central were
ready for the last course when the
waiters walked out, and a number
went to the kitchen and secured their
own deserts.
Parades and mass meetings were
held by the strikers last night, the
largest demonstration being at the
Waldorf-Astoria. There a peaceful
1 picket line, large enough to tie up
sidewalk traffic for about an hour,
assembled.
The union, which is not affiliated
with the American Federation of
Labor, demands a 40 hour week, a S2O
wage scale and improved working
conditions.

Raleigh, Jan. 2). -The “New Deal”
instituted by President Franklin D.
Roosevelt when he started his present
administration is real and is working
and no matter what may happen to
it later on, the benefits which have
already accrued to labor and indus
try will never be abandoned or last,
former Governor O. Max Gardner and
former national Democratic commit
teeman from North Carolina, last
night told more than 400 guests and
members of the Raleigh Chamber of
Commerce at their annual dinner, at
which Gardner was the principal
speaker.
The real purpose of the “New Deal’
was to increase purchasing power and
thus to assist business and industry
all along the line, by beginning at
the bottom instead of at the top, Gara
ner declared. The result is that aftei
almost a year of witnessing the “New
D6al” in operation the nation is con
vinced that prosperity that does not
lift all will never permanently lift any.
And while Gardner discussed in con
siderable detail the effect the “New
Deal” has had on the various in,
dustries, from the textile industry to
agriculture, he also stressed the spiri
tual and cultural aspects of this new
order (brought about by Roosevelt and
which, as he pointed out, is often and
too much overloaded.

my evaluation of the “New Deal" and
its effect on North Carolina has to do

collections from the 156 banks now in
process of liquidation and the cost
of liquidating these banks for the
period from June 1, 1933, to January
1, 1934, has just been sent over to the
office of Secretary of State Stace
W. Wade by Commissioner of Banks
Gurney P. Hood. This report is re
quired of the State Banking Depart
ment every six months as a result of
an act passed by the 1933 General
Assembly. At one time the 1933 House
passed a resolution demanding a sim
ilar statement from Commissioner
Hood within three days, to which he
replied that it would be impossiible
to furnish such a statement within
that short length of time, but that
he would get it up as soon as pos
sible. It was not possible to get the
complete statement on all the banks
in process of liquidation until June 1,
after the General Assembly adjourn

lized almost his entire liquidating
force and office force in the prepa
ration of the report.
The report just completed for the
seven months from June 1, 1933, to
January 1, 1934, shows that the State
Banking Department collected a to
tal of $6,916,318.63 from the 157 banks
