Lack Or Adequate Facilities I . . ! Handicaps Training Program Daily Dispatclt Bureau. | In the Sir Walt; r Hotel. Raleigh. July 20.—Lack of ade quate "shops" in Xorth C ifiina's schools is seriously haudii aping the training of skilled work en f;> ,iid in tin- national defense r> o»r..m tor industry. Tiit-it' is availablt to the state a fair share of the SliVDupOOO recent ly appropriated for vocati >nal train ing classes in indust. :e> »-»senttal to national defense: and quite a num ber <>t such eta -ses are :>eing. or will he set up. T. I" H:o\vne. director of vocational education '."or the Depart intnt ' ! PuMic In.-iructu n. said to day. The lacK <-i available school shops will seriously affect the entire pro gram. and \\i!! lic it the number of schools and trainees, he said. This is particularly true, he added, because regulations for the program specifically prohibit purchase of "equipment" tor the classes. All money must be expended for instruc tional purposes only and where there are no shop facilities there can be consequently, no training. Despite the handicap of limited| facilities, numerous coupes will be offered in North Car. !'na in the, trades for which t:y : My be set up. These include aircraft manufacture.I maintenance and .vpair: machine tools: shipbuilding: automotive manuacture. maintenance and repair: electrical forging: welding: 'hatting: internal combustion engine me chanics. etc. The courses authorised .mder the. Federal program are v■ ■ two kinds— (1) Supplementary : >;■ employees in occupations essentia! to national (de fense. and (2> Pre-employment re fresher courses in preparation for such occupations. The fiist type will be largely night! courses ut some two hoars d iy. andj those taking the courses w i 11 be em-, ployed personnel desi: ::;g to take up some special branch ot training. Fori these courses all employees in oc-j cupation essential t national de-• tense will be eligible The "pre-employment refresher*'J courses will be open to only twoi classes—those now on WPA or NYAI projects and thost listed o>i the rolls of the X. rth Carolina Employment { Service as seeking jobs in the oc-j cup&tions for which courses are of-1 fered. Three courses have already been' opened at State College here and a ; tew in other sections . : the state. It' is the purpose or Mr. Browne and: the vocational education division to make them available in as many places as there can be found the pro per facilities. There are courses for Xegroes now at Greensboro A. and A . Mr. Browne said, and courses of one sort or an other will soon be started in Can ton. Greensboro. Durham.

I Every effort is being made to con fine the courses to occupations in j w hich there really exists a shortage j of skilled workers. Mr. Browne point- . ed out, for example, that there would be no point whatever to giving courses in textiles in North Carolina, despite the fact that at pre>ent the textile field is. of all tho>e es>ential! to national defense, the only one is which this state is equipped to be of much assistance. There is alread\ a surplus of textile workers, lie ad- . ded. and to train more for thai in dustry would merely be to rflut the market further. Although the immediate program is being set up on the theory that it is immediately important to the de fense program. Mr. Browne feels that it will be of very great value to the state's general program of vocational education. I Stocks in Slow Session Today Xew York.

It isn't because the lumbermen, have all of a sudden been converted J to any great system of social reform and progress on the contrary there is the most selfish motive in the world behind the sudden support for a North Carolina wage-hour law. The lumber men who have been shown to be engaged in interstate business have been forced to meet the requirements of the Federal law;j that's where the rub comes in. There are quite some lumber plants. (Miiall for the most part, but still huge enough to stay in business) which are engaged in interstate business only, and these arc competing Willi the firms engaged in interstate com merce with a resultant advantage to the interstatcis because they du not have to meet the Federal law, while the interstatcis do. Commissioner of Labor Forrest H. .Shu ford reports that his inspectors have found considerable .sentiment,, therefore, among the lumber people | for stale legislation which will place j them all m Hie same category and I thereby free them from the compeii-j live disadvantage.
