Daily Dtopatch Bureau,

By J. C. BASKERVILL
Raleigh, Jan. 11.—President Roose
velt’s direct appeal to the governor
and legislators of North Carolina is
likely to prove the final driving fores
necessary for adoption of the Federai
child labor amendment, Major A. L.
Fletcher, commissioner of labor, be
lieves.
The labor department head pointed
out that it is the first time the Presi
dent has issued such an appeal and he
expressed the opinion it may prove
the deciding factor in consideration
of the matter.
“Four years ago, the President was
quoted widely as in favor of the
amendment, but it was not believed
that he had a direct, vital interest in
the question and in North Carolina,
as throughout the South, the oppon
ents of Federal control of the child
labor situation prevailed,” he said.
“But now that Mr. Roosevelt put
the whole weight of his tremendous
influence behind the amendment, pros
pects for its passage in North Caro
lina are bright.”
Major Fletcher said that he has not
made any careful survey of the pres
ent assembly personnel and could not

Decision Unanimous in Up

BEFORE “LECTURE”
Roosevelt’s Threat to High
Tribunal Undoubtedly Not
Reflected in This Ruling;
Only One Decision An

Washington, Jan. 11.—(AP)— The
administration won today its third
victory this term in the Supreme
Court.
By unanimous vote, the tribunal
held constitutional a 50 percent tax
on profits made by silver traders be
fore enactment of the 1934 law di
recting the Treasury to increase its
purchases of that metal for the na
tion’s monetary stocks.
The decision undoubtedly was
agreed upon, however, before Presi
dent Roosevelt delivered his message
to Congress last week, calling for
more liberal interpretation of the Con
stitution.
Other decisions favorable to the ad
ministration since the present term
started last October included an em
bargo on shipment of arms to Para
guay and Bolivia for their Chaco war
and the Ashurst-Sumner act prohibit
ing shipment of prison made goods
into states that bar their sale.
The court announced also it would
take a recess from next Monday to
the following Wednesday, when it will
meet to attend the inauguration of
President Roosevelt and Vice-Presi
dent Garner.
Justice Van Devanter delivered the
silver decision. Only the one decision
was delivered today. Others pending

TO DETERMINATION
TO REDUCE RELIEF
President Defies Pressure
for More Money In Send
ing Bulky Report
To Congress
Washington, Jan. 11. —(AP) —De-
spite mounting pressure from a dozen
states for increased relief, President
Roosevelt sent to Congress today a
sheaf of reports reflecting his hope
to peg relief rolls at the two million
mark for the rest of the fiscal year.
Technically, the two-inch thick
volume was the accounting of the six
billion dollars appropriated for re
covery and relief since 1935.
Actually the significant new infor
mation the report contained was the
fact that relief jobs were pared down
to 2,284,000, cutting off 194,000 work
ers in the first two weeks in Decem
ber.
Drought relief accounted for the
bulk of the reduction, so regular re
lief rolls were not reduced by more
than J 56.000.
The President, in his budget mes
sage last week said he wanted to hold
WPA expenditures to $650,000,000 for
the rest of the fiscal year ending
June 30.
