HENDERSON, (N. C. j DAILY DISPATCH MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 4, 1939
Double Effect
In Mcßryde As
Wage Lawyer
Daily Dispatch Bureau,
In the Sir Walter Hotel.
Raleigh, Sept. 4.—Appointment of
D. Lacy Mcßryde, Cumberland coun
ty legislator, as regional attorney for
the Wage-Hour Administration has
a two-fold implication, in addition
to its obvious meaning that a North
Carolinian has secured a good job
for himself.
The double effeci 01 the Mcßryde
appointment is:
(1) It’s a clear indication that l a
bor (with a capital “L” and mean
ing particularly the North Carolina
Federation of Labor) is not without
political influence, and
(2) It removes from the lists of
congressional possibilities for 1940 a
young man who might conceivably
prove somewhat troublesome to in
cumbent Bayard Clark in the seventh
district.
Under the first head the appoint
ment is proof positive of the boast
made by State Federation President
C. A. Fink that this organization has
‘had the pleasure,” or words to that
effect, of stopping dead any possi
bility that the post might go to E.
C. Brooks, lawyer who presented the
anti-wage and hour case so effective
ly before the 1939 General Asscm
ly that the Labor forces met crush
ing defeat.
The Fink statement was unusual
for its frankness, as it is seldom that
any group comes out openly and
boasts of its influence in defeating
any enemy’s efforts to land a par
ticular political post.
The Mcßryde appointment, more
over, runs over to the affirmative
side; it shows that the federation
I can accomplish something positive
i as well as negative. It didn’t want
’ Brooks and stopped him; it did want 1
, Mcßryde and got him.
If Labor was to be given the post
there can be no possible criticism
of the man picked. Through two
terms in the Tar Heel House he has
' consistently—perhaps more consis
tently than any other member—stood
up and fought hard and fearlessly
: for the worker.

London, Sept. 4.—(AP) —A rescue

to have saved all but a few persons

the Donaldson liner Athenia, which
British officials said was torpedoed
by a German submarine in the open
North Atlantic.
There were 1,347 passengers and
crew aboard, including United States
citizens listed tentatively at 311.
Bulletins from British government
agencies failed to give the number
of dead. The main basis for hope was
the announcement which the
Athenia’s master, Captain James
Cook, wirelessed:
“Passengers and crew except those
killed by explosion took to boats and
were picked up by various ships.”

tracts printed in German de

The tracts stated the German
government refused “peace

They conclude that Great
Britain “hopes for peace and is
ready to conclude it with any
sincerely peaceful German gov

legion would fight as a separate unit.
The resurgence of popular courage
inspired by the entry of Britain and
France into the war as allies of Pol
and was spurred anew by the claim
of Polish official sources that Polish
troops had penetrated German ter
ritory for the first time. The official
reports said fast-striking Polish
cavalry on Saturday had recaptured

in their first attacks, and drove the
invaders back across the border. The
