Industrial Workers' Earnings Are "Although North Carolina has made splendid progress in the establishment of new industries and the expansion of old ones, the earnings of industrial workers in the state have fallen far behind those of the nation," said State Commissioner of Labor Frank Crane in an address to a dinner session of the University chapter 'of Delta Sigmas Pi last night. The meeting was held at the Kaneh House with George Doug- Jas, president of the fraternity, presiding. Crane explained that "The prin cipal reason for the continued exxistence of these low average hourly and weekly earnings has been known for a long time."

Tom Creasy,-in a statement releas ed to The Daily Tar Heel yester day, urged all Consolidated Univer sity students to "ask their local state legislators to oppose the pro posed cut in the University's bud get." The budget will come up in th state legislature on Jan. 5 as a part of the whole state budget, and ru mors from some quarter through out the state have indicated a $50, 000 cut in the University's appor tionment for the 1955-56 period. Creasy said "the hristmas holi days offer the perfect opportunity for students to contact ' their rr spective legislators and ask therr to oppose the cut, which will pro bably mean a raise in tuition." Some legislators and member of the Budget Commission hav suggested that a raise in dormiton rent fees would be in order as the think that "these fees are too low.' This suggestion has been oppos ed by University officials, how ever, as only 60 percent of the stu dents live in dorms and this per centage would be making up the deficit for the whole student body. Creasy continued that, "nobody seems to want a tuition raise and Charlotte Club The Charlotte-Carolina Club will present its Christmas dance on Dec. 27 n the Radio ,Center.
