ASSOCIATED ' PRESS DISPATCHES VOLUME XXVI FACTS LEADING UP TO SURVEY TO BE IDE MOLINA Question Was First Raised Several Years Ago and Was Raised Again Sev eral Months Ago. MUCH INTEREST IN THE MATTER Governor Said to Feel That State Forces Can Make Survey as Well as Any Outside Experts. Stale Capitnl Bureau cf , The Concord Daily Tribune ' Sir Walter Hotel Lobby Haleig'j, April 21.—'The story of an incident that was developed into an issue, through careful cultivation by a few determined women and still few er North Carolina newspapers—that is the history of the survey of women in industry, ordered by Gov. A. JV, McLean yesterday. Over a period of four years, the question has been raised intermittent ly. Much of that time it has lain dormant. At other times, and es pecially during t'.ie past two.months, it has assumed the magnitude and importance of a state-wide issue; why, no one has been able to ascer tain. From the clamor which has been raised, one not familiar with the situation would have become con vinced that the condition of North Carolina's feminine industrial work ers approximated the ante-bellum days of slavery, yet not even the - most per sistent advocates of the survey would have admitted that. The only explanation that those ou the sideline could advance for the furore among the combatants was that someone wanted something that somrone else doubted the necessity or advisability of Mantling out. It might have been a survey or it might/ have been a new wrist watch; the prin ciple was the same. Since the survey of women in in dustry first was proposed, two sur veys, similar in purpose, have been launched and completed and a third has been begun, all in North Carolina. Negligible state-wide interest has been evinced ib them. Outside i'uf state, seven state-wide surveys have*, been - agettrK rftr in Mitt th em states. Little, if any import ance has been attached to them or to tbe results. The results of all the surveys have tended to diminish general interest in the proposal of a state-wide survey in North Carolina, since the conclusion in practically every case '.ins been that tbe entire question of women in in dustry, her home conditions, etc., is an economic one which cannot be changed to any material extent or remedied by nny legislation which might develop from the facts brought out. Mothers who were Working, for instance, had to work in order to prop erly support ttieir children. Both bad and good home conditions were found, but it was found that this was de pendent, largeley, upon the family’s in come. No general mistreatment of women employes was found in any state. Since the agitation first was begun, tbe I’niversity of North Carolina has completed a social and industrial sur vey of Orange county ; the State Col lege has completed a survey of condi tions of agricultural folks in several counties: through the agency of the Nort'.i Carolina College for Women, an economic and social survey of Oreenßboro lias been carried out and Duke University, in conjunction with the Durham Chamber of Commerce, has launched a sipiilar survey in Durham. So slight has been the interest in those surveys that no one seems even to recall the resu’ts T'.iafc might be taken as evidence that it is not just a survey that is desired by the pro ponents of the agitation jUBt ended, but their survey. The survey soon to be undertaken by the Child Welfare Commission, with the assistance of the State Board of Health, is expected to take several months for completion. It will be impossible to. cover the entire state. While no detailed . announcement of the plan to be followed has been made public, it is generally understood that typical counties, or groups of coun ties, will be selected for the survey. For Instance, for the survey of wony en in manufacturing plans, a group of counties such as Guilford, Meck lenburg, Gaston and Durham might be chosen, and plants employing women covered thoroughly to determine the exact conditions under .which women are asked to work. ! Then, a group of agricultural coun ties, such a« Hoke, Moore and Co lumbus probably will be selected and a survey made of the conditions un der which women work on farms. The investigation qf women in stores might be - made almost any where in the state. 4 considerable amount of data al ready is in the hands of the Child Welfare Commission and tbe State Department of Health as these bodies constantly are doing investigating up on the same lines outlined in the specific survey of women. Just what is expected to be gained from the survey seems to be in doubt. Jn several southern states federal sur veys. such as the agitators of the North Carolina survey first requested, were completed three and four years ago and, so far ae can be learned, no action has been taken to remedy any of tbe evils uncovered.

DAUGHTER BORN TO DUKE j ANI> DUCHESS OF YORK j The - Little Wmws Mat!; Advent Into I World a: 2:10 This Morning and Is Do'ng Fine. j London, April 21. — UP) —The Duke and Duchess of York are the praud possessors of a girl baby, Tile little princess made its advent into the world at 2:40 o’clock this morning in the childhood bedroom of the Duchess in the town house of her father, the Karl of Strathmore. The baby is the first child of the Duke and Duchess. The Duke of York is the second son of King George and Queen Mary. The Duchess Was formerly Lady Klizabetli ! Bowes Lyon. The couple was mar-! ried in Westminster Abbey April 4, 11)23.

Jacksonville, Fla., April 21.— UP) — Charles Pnnzi. former Boston “finan-! i cial wizard." was sentenced to serve one yeas at hard labor in t'.ie State penitentiary at Raeford by Judge ‘ James M. Peeler in criminal court today. He was convicted on April , i 9th of violating the Florida law re-! ■ lating to the conduct of business un • der a declaration of trust. i Judge Peeler denied Ponzi’s motion for a new trial. Ponzi who is now ■ engaged in conducting the Charpon Land Syndicate, was given sixty days l in which to perfect an appeal. a number of those states it now is frankly admitted that the trouble which was to be remedied goes too deep into the social and economic system now in force to be eradicated with out a complete revolution. Nothing constructive has resulted because it resolved itself into an economic situa tion. It is admitted that some moth ers have to work too hard to support their families, but no remedial meas ure, except outright charity, has been brought forth either through surveys or otherwise. On tenant farms, no one has denied that mothers and daughters are forced to work Jong hours in the fields, in addition to do ing housework, but none of the sur veys in other states or in North Car olina have resulted in higher prices for crops, about the only remedy that would permamently cure that ill. j Charges have been hurled during he final stages of the campaign that manufacturers were opposed to the survey, but no grounds for substan-. ( tiation have been - uncovered. Govcr- ! j nor McLean a number of times has ( declared that not one has ever given j him to believe that they were against it and a number of the manufactur ers themselves have stated that it made no difference to them, one way [ or the other. In a survey conducted some time ago by one of the State educational institutions, questionnaires were sent out to manufacturers asking facts con cerning costs. A number of manu facturers refused to answer on the grounds that such matters were trade secrets and would lead to unfair com petition should their costs become known to their competitors. It is be lieved that this refusal has been mis taken as the attitude of leaders of industry toward all surveys dealing with their businesses.

C., WEDNESDAY, APRIL 21, 1926 —— - -l-te.-i HAYES OR BRITT WILL OPPOSE MR. OVERMAN Britt Believed to Have Slight Edge in Betting at This Time. State Capital Burenu of The Concord Daily Tribune Sir Walter Hotel Lobby Raleigh, April 21.—Either Johnson .T. Hayes, of North Wilkesboro, or J. ■I. Britt, of Ah'.teville, will be the Re publican nominee for United States senator, in the opinion of those Ral eigh Republicans who make nny at tempt to forecast the action of the State executive committee in its meet ing Thursday. Mr. Britt has a slight pdge in the betting, due to the fact that he al ready has weathered two successful oninpnigns one under great odds, but doubt is expressed as to whether or not he will accept the nomination should it be tendered him. Mr. Hayes had won his spurs prior .to the recent State convention at Durham, bnfabv his forceful handUug, or file"difficult' job of spokesman dnd I floor leader for the organization in the fight against Marion Butler, he proved his ability to handle the most difficult assignment the party has to offer. It is admitted in all quarters that he would make ns good n race as anyone for senator and some in- 1 clitic to the belief that he would make j a shade the best of anyone else. : It was freely predicted following the State convention that the Bram | hmn-Butler scrap brought forth the party's next leader in Mr. Hayes nnd : there is no little sentiment in favor of starting him off right with the sen atorial nomination. | Republican oracles have declared that Charles A. Cannon, the cotton mill magnate who enjoys the confi dence of labor and capital alike, would have won easily over either Senator i Overman or R. R. Reynolds. His i refusal to accept the nomination be l cause his own business affairs would I not permit it, they are convinced, cost I the Republicans their first United | States senatorship since Marion But* ; ler. They are not disparaging either ! of the two likely substitute candidates ' when they say that, either, for their J confidence in Mr. Cannon’s election i was based upon his appeal to the pop j ular imagination as a capitalist who j I has made good and kept faith with . his workmen. No other available I nominee can produce that particular I appeal, so they now have only the us ual forlorn hope. j The largest hotel, or place of resi dence, is said to be the “Freihaus,” Bituated in a suburb of Vienna. It has more than 3,000 rooms, 13 eourt ; yards, and a large garden.
