Africa and elsewhere, j ( While tiiere they told the President ' wage earners are not getting enough ' money and they urged relaxation o: ' labor board yardsticks used as a basis for harmonizing wages and living costs. Thi- latter proposal will elicit many sound ..mens iro-n all over, if only the sin e tand ird is applied • to all the pe -pie Miner.- -tee! work ers and labor r general have lu.d f numerous wagi . es in the past M-ver.i 1 year.-, and the wildcat labor, ' nian-.et h,.s had as much to do with bunging .• t>• t 'ijditi >ns complain-jc en i>l a . nything else. A v. age i 'c ease of two dollars a | day for IDti.OflO coal miners would j ] amount to $8ii'i.OOO a day. Multiply that by »n and you gi-t S240.000.000. That is what the increase would amount to in one year, and which i consumers would bo a'ked to pay)' in their coal bill each twelve months ! It would be paid alike by 'hose whol are able to do :-o and those who are1 not now -baring in these fabulous w age boost;; and have not been shar ing them. The middle classes are being made the goat becau e they have no spokes man with enough influence to pre sent their cause. Naturally Mr. Green and Mr. Murray are not pri marily concerned about this group. Neither does any one el«e seem to lie. Universal ceilings, mentioned by the labor chiefs on their . i-it to the White House, are a good thing, and should have been invoked long ago. The reason there is -■< much contu sion now is because they were not. There should have been ceilings ap plicable to prices of all commodities and to labor, for the duration of the emergency. Green and Murray can well afford to talk of universal ceilings now. after organization mem bers have hoisted incomes to per haps the highest in history. Even so, however, universality if such controls could still be beneficial. But Washington seems not to subscribe to that theory. The coal miners will get another raise, principally because they have asked for it and because they have influential leaders either heading their fight or in sympathy with it. Many of the rest of us will f»»ot the bill because we do not hove a friend I at court.

Were not the Federal government shot through with radicali-m. and were there no other e*vide*nce or reason lor le*cting and tearing that [here i> something behind '.lie Dies iicusations. there* woulii be k*s> rca i n for lending him an ear. This time time* names a:\. calL'd— it le*ast one is. It is that ot Mau ice Farnielee. who uiit.l recently \ as feeding at tiie public trougn to tie tune of S.i.000 a ycai as a ne'inber of the Hoard ot Kconomic A" a r fa re—whatever that is. Ho was tismissed Ironi that alphabetical igcncv only to be take:, on by an ther, at a salary of a year an economist of the railroad re . 1'inent board. Parinelee* is author f a book on "Nudism in Modern ...:e." and is said to have spent m*v- j r.ii years 111 European nudist camps, | mil to be an adherent to that phi- \ o-ophy. mo. cnarges that when one of heso alphabetical lecchos is exposed , nr bureau and tired as the re-| ;ul:. lii- is picked up by another, so j .h.it u is nut separated completely! : in ,..veninu'nt payrolls. He also the contempt tiiese bureau-1 •rats have for Congress. although it ,s Congress that appropriates their ialai les. So that Dies proposes to >et rid of them by failing to vote jay for them. In that manner he) voul complain of high taxes, and these rc being imposed now in the name | f a global war. The war is taking lot of money—an unprecedented mount We do not believe all of j uit is f occs>«iry. not oven for vnci [•rials wo are getting for that pur ose. and certainly nothing like as ,uch is necessary as i- being squan e.ed in maintaining the vast lahy inth of the prc-cnt system of office oldinff. The people could put a stop n it if tbev would, and when >nc lay they wake up to the true con-, lition.- ;t may be too late Reynolds to Announce Word trom Washington ir> that. Senator Reynolds will probably jour- j icy down lu Kale»gh beiore thei ieneral Assembly adjourns and from hat vantage point make lormal an-j louncement of his candidacy for re-, lominalion in the 11144 primary. The a me advices say that Tar Heels in he national capital arc "convinced ! .jut ilii' junior .-enator will be op posed by ioriner Governor O. Max Gardner and possibly also Dr. Ralph McDonald. Such a three-way contest would unquestionably provide some diver-j sion from the war. if the war is still in progress at that tunc. It would furnish a rivalry and generate heat without equal in recent years in this ftale cxcept possible the 193(5 gu bernatorial campaign, and might even eclipse thttt. Reynolds was one of the Demo crats on the Senate Foreign Rela tions Committee who voted for con firmation of Edward J- Flynn as American minister to Australia, and that, of course, did not hurt his standing with the administration in Washington. He has crossed up with the powers in the national capital in stands he has taken as chairman of the Senate Military Affairs Com mittee. and these might not be en tirely forgotten when he reaches the place where he will need all the help he can get. Should both Gardner and McDon ald oppose Reynolds, one or the other of the two would more than likely get the nod from the White House, for whatever that might be worth. It could be much or might be little. As between Gardner and McDonald, our guess would be that the University extensioner would have the inside track, depending to some extent probably on prospects i Reynold' ha? soiten himselt ii i bad with thousands of North Caro limans since lust h«. r:.:i '.or olllcc and this uupopulai i'y will eo.-t him plenty.

Many things could happen in the meantime to influence candidacies and i • ults.

The jury consists .>t s:x men. "Mr. Watkins. who w;i< ai home ti.r the week-end. saiil today there had been criticism of tin* -v-ti in locally and that prompted hi.- hill. Me said he had found most local attorneys were in favor of the change. Convictions have been <■! by jury in the lower court, that is. lecorrter's court, in all these coun ties IS NOT DENIED to any defend ant and I think this right that has been given to the people for the~e many years prevails in most of the counties in the State of North Caro lina that have a general county court, recorder's court cr mayor's court. I realize there is no foundation or system, or order, or organization that is not subject to criticism, be it ju>t or unjust. We live in a demo cratic country and in a democrat .-eel a n wherein the will of the pe pie should prevail. I do not tccl that a ,-iili-tantial right of long stand.mi that has been given to the poor man and the rich mar. alike: that i«. the l ight to a speedy trial at the It* -st possible cost by ;i jury, it it vhnuld be demanded, -hould be denied, un le.-s this question has boon submitted to the voters ot Vance County. ,md they and each of them have had the right to go to the poll- and cast their ballot as to whether or r."t this right should be removed from Vance county while 't remains with the other counties of this judicial dis trict. As a citizen and member of the local bar, who has practiced in both recorder's court and mayor's court, I feel that I should -av that I am unalterably opposed to denying to the people of this county the r ght of a trial by jury in recorder's curt and mayor's court unless. and 'Til. the question shall have been sub mitted to the voter- and their w.U known by way of the ballot. In this way the voice of the en tire people will have -poken. and when they have spoken then I know all will be content and no one. even those who cannot be here now. but are serving their country, can ever "RUSSIAN BANK" leel or have reason to say that any individual, group, or sunup*, or or ganizations. if such there be. might prevail, as against the will of the masse- of the people.
