CHARLOTTE, N. C., THURSDAY, APRIL 18, 1935 JOURNAL’S ANNIVERSARY EDITION The Journal is preparing its Anniversary Edition, which will appear either on the 2nd or 9th of May, when this pub lication will pass into its fifth year of endeavor, and we hope that the merchants will accord us liberal support for this edition. While the response to the picture pages has not been in keeping with the edition put out two years ago, the sup port has been fair, and we hope to make this birthday edition a credit to us and to the advertisers lending their support. USE OF FEDERAL ARMS The Connery resolution, which is in the hands of the House Committee on Military Affairs, to prohibit the use of Federal owned equipment by state militia engaged in strike breaking, reads as follows: “To prohibit the use of supplies and equipment furnished by the United States to the National Guard while on service in connec tion with any labor dispute without express approval of the Sec retary of War. “Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, That no arms, clothing, equipment, equipage, stores, or material heretofore or hereafter supplied by the United States to th National Guard, or herafter supplied by the United States to the National Guard out of any funds appropriated at any time by the United States, shall be used by any unit of the National Guard of any State, Ter ritory, or the District of Columbia while on duty for for any pur pose in connection with any labor strike, dispute, or controversy w'hether or not martial law has been declared in force in respect thereof, unless express approval for such is given at the time by the Secretary of War in each case for each such unit.” It is rumored that the Mecklenburg Civic League, which started out to purify politics and work for a higher moral standard, may put a municipal ticket in the field. So the nigger we spoke of is emerging from the wood pile. _ I . The South Carolina senate Wednesday killed the “anti-stretchout” bill. Just another defeat for the workers. Politics may be ‘is” or “are,” but there is one thing certain, and that it is, a lot of “patriots" are willing to‘“sacrifice” themselves for the dear old Queen City. With such a crop to choose from the dear voter has a varied menu from which to choose. A funny thing about our candidates in this municipal election, and all other elections for that matter about 90 per cent are “drafted by their friends” (?’ and the “heroes” put on the armor and sally forth to do battle to save a city that has been going to the “demnition bow-wows” for over 50 years. f J.

MOREHEAD COMPLETE LINE OF 1" New Spring Hats UNION LABELED r National Hat Shops 108 South Try on Street LEGISLATIVE MIRROR By ANNE OBSERVER RALEIGH, N. C., April 14.—Th< State Senate has had a great wrangle over the sales tax question. If you have watched your daily newspapers you of course have learned just who voted for a straight three per cent sales tax without any exemptions on foodstuff as the Governor requested; you also learned who voted to leave thd tax off these essential food items such as fat back, flour, meal, lard milk, molasses, etc.; you also learned just who voted to reduce the sales tax to two per cent. All of these record votes should be kept by the voters until the next political cam paign. They may come in handy at that time. There has been a great deal of in terest the last few days about a bill the workers in the State Highway Department want passed. This bill would set up minimum wages and maximum hours of labor. Some Sen ators and Representatives have been doing some fancy sidestepping on this matter, if reports are true. They seem to have told the grossly under paid highway workers that they were “100 per cent for them,” but failed to get in there and fight for them. Stranger things have happened. Maybe this Senator or that Repre sentative had a piece of road he want ed constructed in his county and he felt like it would not be best to muddy the waters too much. You never can tell. But the question arises; which is the most important, a few ..more miles of road or decent wages for the highway employees ? Someone has suggested they can’t keep up the roads we already have. A great deal of talk has been heard about the race for Governor. It has been suggested from many quarters that if Bob Doughton fails to announce for Governor that the thing to do is to persuade Dr. Mc Donald to make the race. This rumor or suggestion is said to have given the Governor’s forces a great deal of worry. However, there are those who will tell you they are sure Mr. Dough ton will be in the race and that Dr. McDonald will be the next Superin tendent of Public Instruction for North Carolina. Labor is said to be also intensely interested in pick ing the right man for Lieutenant Governor. There appears to be a flock of candidates for this important job, but so far organized labor leaders have expressed no preference and will probably not do so until some time to come. It has been learned there will be a meeting of the Executive Board of the State Federation of Labor at an early date. The purpose of the meeting has not been announced, but it is believed by some that it may have a political significance, how ever, President Lawrence says the meeting is for the transaction of rou tine business. Never before have poli ticians cast their eyes so longingly and covetously toward the labor vote. Some of them are finally beginning to realize that labor has the largest dues-paying organization in the State and that the labor members and their families are beginning to understand something of pilitics. In talking with President Lawrence today he said all local unions and Central Bodies thoroughly understood there was to be no action taken at this time in endorsing candidates for State or National offices. He said the complete records of all politicians would be furnished the local unions soon after the Legislature adjourns and that the State Federation was weighing all these matters carefully and would make a complete report in ample time. At this writing a number of other labor bills are in ,an uncertain status. Several are on the favorable calen dar and they are being carefully watched by the labor representatives here. It has been announced a re port will be made on the votes and attitudes of the various members of the General Assembly on these mat ters. McFarland Withdraws In Favor Morgan McFarland’s withdrawal from the council race in favor of E. M. Mor gan, both from Ward 8, leaves three candidates from that ward, if they all stay in the race. Mr. Morgan has al ready filed and his friends feel that he has an excellent chance of making a good showing. Mr. Morgan is well known in church and fraternal circles.

Carolina Charlotte welfare officals are ex pressing extreme anxiety over the controversy between Governor Ehring haus and Relief Administrator Harry Hopkins as to whether or not the staite will earmark $3,000,000 for re lief purposes. Administrator Hopkins has given warning that if North Carolina does not earmark this sun? for relief work the federal government will stop its flow of federal relief funds into the state. ' North Carolina is now receiving relief funds totaling more than a niil lion and a quarter dollars a month. Similar threats made to other states have been followed either by state ap propriations for relief or a cessation of use of federal funds. Charles F. Gilmore, Mecklenburg cotmty district FERA administrator, says he has no information as to what funds may be expected in the future and to the best of his belief state FERA officials are completely in the dark as to<what to expect.—Observer. M. Curley said today, was “almost a certainty” unless the federal gov ernment immediately aided the indus try. The governor made this prediction on the eve of a meeting with New England cotton manufacturers at which a move will be undertaken to have the code revised and the wage differential between Northern and Southern mill workers cut from the present average of $2.65 per worker per week, to one dollar. 1 SOME OF THE THINGS j t WE LEND MONEY ON f , Uiunooda WUeta Jowclrj Man’* Clothing Stlwwnro Shot Oona Riflao Piston Tranks * Addins Muhinas Baca Bait Cases Musical lasts.
