State Young Democrats
To Work For Repeal
? ?
State Convention Goes On
Record With Big Vote
For Repeal
ALSO AGAINST SALOON
Wrightaville, July 8. ? A resolu
tion committing the Young Demo
crats of North Carolina to work for
repeal of the eighteenth amend
ment was adopted by a thunderous
vote of approval today after the
ouly person who attempted to speak
against it had been shouted from
the floor.
When Ney Evans, of High Point,
chairman of the resolutions com
mittee, introduced the resolution he
Bras greeted with shouts of appro
val.
Debate on the. question was lim
ited to two minutes for each speak
er.
E. C. York, of Lee county, urged
the convention "if possible to avoid
this issue of repeal." He termed the
question one of personal liberty
and said "there is not pne iota of i
reason why prohibition should be a'
political question.
"The leaders of the Democratic
party in the state are opposed to
? the Young Democrats pledging
themselves for repeal," he shouted,
"and there is no reason why the
Young Democrats should be listed
vs a wet organization." " "*
Yelled From the Floor
When York's two minutes were
up, he was yelled from the floor by
cries of "time up," "time up" and
a roll call vote ordered.
The roll call was started but only
a few counts had been made when
Dewey Dorse tt, of Raleigh, presi
dent, called for an oral vote.
He was greeted with a prolonged
and thunderous aye" when he
called for those favorable to vote.
Approximately 20 persons voted
"no."
W. W. Neal, of Louisburg, at
tempted to amend the resolution by
adding a paragraph condemning
the Turlington act, the state's pro
hibition act, and asking its repeal
but this was tabled by a loud oral
vote.
The convention, while opposing
national prohibition, evidently took
the position that the state's own
laws on the subject are matters for
future consideration.
Charles Lucas, of Wilson, the only
man to speak in favor of the re
peal resolution before the vote was
taken, urged a unanimous vote with
out hearing "the other Side of this
matter." Lucas said that drys
could vote against repeal in the
November referendum.
In addition to calling for repeal,
the resolution pledges the Young
Democrats to "urge the enactment
of such measures as will actually
promote temperance and effectively
prevent the return of the Saloon."

WIS CALL FOR

President Southern Baptist
Convention Issues Appeal
To All Christians
A call for Baptists of the south
to rally to support of prohibition
and fight against repeal of the
eighteenth amendment to the con
stitution is made by Dr. M. E. Dodd,
president of the Southern Baptist
convention, in a formal statement
received here yesterday.
Addressed "to the pastors, offi
cers and four million members of
the 24,000 Southern Baptist
churches," the appeal says:
"Since various states in the terri
tory of, the Southern Baptist con
vention will tfoon have the oppor
tuntly to vote again on whether or
not the eighteenth amendment shall
be retained or repealed; and,
"Since Southern Baptist pastors,
evangelists, deacons, Sunday School
teachers and other leaders and
member^, in the past, had much to
do with creating a south solid
against the liquor business;
"It seems imperative to me to
issue the following statement and
appeal as President of the South
ern Baptist convention.
Traffic Is Legal Outlaw
"The liquor traffic is a legal out
law, an economic outcast, an intel
lectual imbecile, and a moral dere
lict.
"It is an outlaw because It is not
now, never has been, and, by it*
very nature never can be subject
to any legal restraint, regulation or

J
Momentous Question"
Finally Is Settled
For the past several weeks the
question of the location of the post
office has been a burning question
here. Moving a post office site, like
moving a school house across the
creek, will raise more ire than al
most anything, and the talk of
moving the post office here was
no exception. Trips had been made
to Washington, inspectors had made
several visits and checked and
measured almost every building in'
town, and those personally inter
ested had watched the mail every;
day to see if they had not received
notice of acceptance of their bid.
Well, the notice came Saturday
morning and Mr. Claud Hall was ?
notified that hte bid had been ac
cepted, and for another five years
the post office will remain where

Shows Signs Of More Will

OTHERS TO FOLLOW
Washington, July 11. ? President
Roosevelt's bold stroke today In
creating a supreme recovery coun
cil immediately speeded up the de
termined drive to bring lagging and
reluctant industry into his far
reaching plan to increase mass pur
chasing .power.
Fresh from the first council Ses
sion at the White House, General
Hugh S. Johnston, industrial recov
ery act administrator, announced
he is about ready to set a dead line
date for submission of industrial
codes. v
He revealed further that the re
covery administration has many al
ternative plans to bring industry
into line. They include formation
of a set of basic standards of wages
and hour schedules with which all
types of American industry could
comply quickly until more detailed
codes are worked out.
The energetic administrator, who
is beginning to show the strain of
days and nights at his arduous task,
frankly laid his problems before
President Roosevelt and the recov
ery council today at the White
House.
Steel Code Today.
Meantime. Industry showed signs
of more active cooperation with the
recovery administration. Johnson
announced the steel industry, giant
hub of America's industrial wheel,
would submit a code tomorrow.
The oil indusrty also is ready to
furnish required statistics tomorrow
and various coal groups, still strug
gling on separate codes, will be
brought in and virtually forced to
reach an agreemnet on a code.
Simultaneously, the big lumber in
dustry. sorely hit by the depression.:
submitted a . code. It included the
first provisions yet i proposed for
-control of production and price-Ax
ing. A wage scale ranging from 22
1-2 to 45 cents an hour was pro
posed. Johnson immediately pro- ,
nounoed it too low. A suggested
weekly work schedule of 40 to 48
hours was declared to be too long
by the administrator. Johnson or
dered the hearing on the lumber
code to begin July 20.
He Said the steel industry hearing
probably would begin about July 19.
As submitted, the code represents
between 90 and 95 per cent of the
Industry.

GOLD BLOC WINS
LONDON VICTORY
ON MONEY ISSUE
Conference To Discuss Silver
And Private Debts But Bar
Controversial Matters
SESSION TO END QUIETLY
London, July 11. ? Atter many
days of fierce controversy the steer
ing committee of the world econo
mic conference late today rendered
a decision which the gold bloc pri
vately declared virtually kills the
monetary agenda an$l represent a
complete victory for the gold group.
The committee, constituted of
leaders of the parley, adopted a re
port calling for the discussion of
silver, commercial 1 n d ebtedness,
central banking co-operation and
other subjects which can be treat
ed without dissension.
The' American delegation, sup
ported by the British Dominions
and a number of smaller countries
had fought for the inclusion of the
full original program in the revised
agenda of the congress.
In addition to the three topics ap
proved, sub-committees were au
thorized to decide for themselves
what other matters could be use
fully considered without provoking
renewed discord.
Since they are thus in a position
where they can block discussion on
any subject considered undesirable,
the gold countries regarded the vote
as a triumph for their thesis. They
have insisted that monetary ques
tions in general should be elimi
nated until the dollar has been
stabilized and under today's deci
sion they will be able to see that ?
this view prevails.
Publicly this evening all confer
ence leaders were saying that busi
ness of the carley was moving
smoothly and that work would be
continued.
It was understood that a gentle
man's agreement had been reached
whereby the conference would be
would up soon without any triumph
ant shouts by either side.
James M. Cox. of Ohio, was a
piember of the monetary commit
tee, which, he said before the steer
ing committee met. had unanimous
ly agreed on procedure for a future
program.
Prime Minister Bennett, of Can
ada, who has vigorously supported
the American delegation In efforts
to keep the conference going, said at
the end of the meeting, "This agree
ment will permit smooth progress."
