WASHINGTON, Augl 30.JS4i -eonv mereial and indnstriai organisations in tho State of "North Carolina have gone on record in support of a declaration of twelve principle of indnstriai relations designed io establish a basis on which em ployers and employes may work out em ployment problems. , Tho vote waa taken on the report of a committee of the .Chamber of Coxnmercs I of the United State submitted to a eoun- try-wide referendum of business asaoeia- tions. The principles received the over- whelming approval of the organisationa in .rv .tat hi th union. i The organisations voting were: Hard ware Association of the Carolines, Char lotte; Chamber of Commerce, Fayette ville; Chamber of Commerce, Greensboro; Chamber of Commerce, Hickory; Heating and Piping Contractors, North Charlotte; I Wilkes Commercial Club, North Wilkes boro. Summarized, the twelve principles are as follows: 1. Every person has the right to en gage in any lawful occupation and to en- ! ter imlivMtially or collectively into any , lawful contract of employment, either as employer or employee. 2. The right of open-shop operation, I that is, the right of employer and em j ployee to determine the condition of em- , ploymenfrelations with each other, is an I essential part of the individual rijfht of contract possessed by each of the parties, j 3. All men possess the equal right to I associate voluntarily for the accomplish tnent of lawful purposes by lawful means but such association confers no authority over, anil must not deny any right of. . those" who do not desire to act or deal with them. -.. - 4. Associations or combinations of I legally responsible for their conduct and that of their agent. 5. The restriction of productive ef fort"or of outnut bv either emnlover or j employee for the purpose of creating an artificial scarcity of the product or of labor is an injury to society. 6. The wage of labor must come out of the product of industry and must be earned and measured by its contribution thereto. It is the duty of management to cooperate with the worker to secure continuous employment. 7. The number of hours in the work day or week in which the maximum Out put, consistent with the health and well being of the individual, ean be maintain ed in a piven industry should be ascer- tained by careful study and never shoub j be exceeded except in case of emergency i and one day of rest should be provided I Reduction in working hours below such economic limit, in order to secure greater leisure for the individual, should be made on'y 'Wlth understanding and acceptance ot ,ne fi,rt 1hat 11 inv0,w eommensu rat ,os" in ,he parninK POer of the workers, a limitation of output and an increase in the cost of the product. 8. Adequate means satisfactory both to the employer and As employees, and voluntarily agreed to by them, should be provided for discussion and adjustment of employment relations. 9. When. the employer and his em ployees do pot deal individually, but by mutual consent through representatives, , representatives should not be chosen or i controlled by or represent any outside group or interest. J 10. The greatest measure of reward and well-being for both employer and employee and the full social value of j their service must be sought in the sue ces9ful conduct and full development of j the particular industrial establishment in which they are associated. I 11. While the right of government em ployees to secure just treatment must be amply safeguarded the community wel I fare demands that no combination to pre- I vent or impair the operation of govern ment or of any government function shall be permitted. 12. The power of regulation and pro tection exercised by the State over the corporation should properly extend to the employees in so far as may be necessary to assure unimpaired operation of pub-lic-utilitv service. MAY FIND OIL ON CALDWELL FARM Peculiar Outcropping on Farm of J. L. Clay, Near Granite Falla Oily Sub stance Rises on Low Place in Field; Smells Like Oil. Lenoir News Topic, 27th. What is believed to be indications of oil deposits have been found on the farm of Mr. J. L. Clay, five miles east of Granite Falls. Mr. Clay's farm is lo cated on what is known as Mills creel The indications have cropped out at two places on Mr. Clay's farm, which places are about fifty yards apart, and cover only about ten or fifteen feet square. These two places are low spots in a field and surrounding these places is a red clay soil. These two spots are black and smutty looking, and in dry weather the soil when handled will leave the hands in a greasy condition. This oil de posit or outcropping will readly burn when set on fire. During the past few weeks rain water has collected in the low places and an oily scum shows on top of the wattr. Mr. Clay is much concerned over this appearance, and has had a number of people to look at it . He believes that the appearance or tnis ouy substance may be mc uuicropping oi on ueposus lower down. Mr. Clay is deeply interested over the possibility of a discovery of oil on his place, and is anxious to have fur ther investigations made.

At first some sur- prise waa expressed among British insur-1 anc4 and shipping companies transacting busiae in the United States,' when - it waa learned that United States Treasury officials were eomlng to this country to investigate their books in connection with taxation, says a Times article. However, any favorable feeling that may have been aroused nt first has been overcome by the personality of the officials who were com- . missioned zor tne nurpoc purpose and by an ap preciation cf the attitude of the United States Treasury officials toward taxation assessments. I British business men have learned that i I the work of chartered accountants has haidly the same standing in the United States as it 'has in this country. Here the certificates of a first-class firm of I j chartered accountants attached to a bal j nnce-sheet mean that the figures of profit are accepted as stated, without question. It seeins that there is not al j way the same unquestioned acceptance of figures so certified in the United States and that the Unjl'l StaU-s Treasury maintains quite a lare field staff of in spectors whose businiss it is to examine the books of companies. Appreciation of this fact, coupled with" an assurance that officials of the Treasury never disclose to other govern ment departments he results of the in sight they may gain into the conduct of companies' affairs h'a done much to rec oncile British business men to a proce dure which struck them at first as being strange. GREENSBORO JITNEY DRIVERS REQUIRED TO GIVE BOND Must Put up $500 as Guarantee That Laws Will be Obeyed , Ordinance Won Over Strong Opposition. Greensboro Newe. 2Sth . Commissioner Donavant 's ordinance re quiring taxicab drivers to furnish bond to the city, which seemed doomed Thurs day when Mayor Stafford said he thought this the wrong time of the year. for its adoption, was offered again yesterday and passed after City Attorney Hines niaue some slight changes m it and ex plained in detail its provisions. The most important change was that the amount of bond to be required was made $500, instead of $1,000, as at first sug gested by the commissioner of publii safety. The ordinance becomes effective 20 days from yesterday. The coudition of the lnuid is such that if the Car driver shall "faithfully observe all laws of the state and or dinances of the city relating to vehicles for hire, traffic and automobiles, and shall pay all damages occasioned to per son or projerty on account of any viola tions of such laws or ordinances, ihen this obligation shall be null and void ; otherwise, to be in f ull forcv and effect. " It is also provided that "any person violating this ordinance shall be subject to a penalty of $50, and each day's viola tion hereof shall be a separate offense. " The sureties offered by the driver are to be passed on by the mayor. Commissioner Donavant said he had in mind protection for the public anil the bringing about of a proper respect of the law by public car drivers when he had the ordinance prepared. City Attorney Hines gave it as his opinion that the city could sue and collect on the bond if a driver is found guilty in court of haul ing whiskey. The commissioner was pleased to hear his opinion, as was Chief of Police Isley, who was present when the board of commissioners passed the or dinance. In addition to the bond, the taxi men must furnish satisfactory proof of good character before the chief of police will give them a certificate permitting them to operate. Drivers of public cars in the city, 75 or more in number, will be notified right away of the ordinance passed yesterday. They have 20 days in which to arrange for their bonds.
