Strikes and floods occupy first place in the minds of official Washington, up setting or . deranging plans and pro grams of legislative and adminis trative agencies. The strike situation is giving the Government more concern than is indicated by official utterances. How to. remain entirely neutral in the three-cornered labor contro versy between General Motors, the Lewis C. I. O. labor organization' and the Federation of Labor is puz zling, the Administration. The major issue is whether the Federal government shall give open or tacit sanction to the principle of "sit-down" strikes, where workers take possession of an-industry, re fuse either to work or to leave the property, and prevent others from 1 working. The statement by the Secretary of Labor, Miss Perkins, that the legality of the sit-down strike has never been settled does not reflect the general view in Administration circles. But everyone concerned hesitates to approve or order any action looking to the forcible re moval of sit-down strikers from the General Motors plants. The Labor1 Deadlock Washington has not forgotten the forcible eviction of the bonus marchers from the government buildings of which they had taken illegal possession, and of the dis astrous political effect upon Pres ident Hoover which ensued. This administration does not want to run the risk of arousing Lahnr's antagonism. Yet as long as -the management of General Motors re fuses to negotiate for a' settlement of the questions involved until the sit-flown strikers evacuate the com pany's property, a serious deadlnrk . exists which the Government has no power to break. That is why Secretary Perkins has " asked Congress to give her power to issue subpoenas and so command the attendance of all con cerned at conferences on labor questions. Some observers here are pointing to what they regard as a parallel ..between the. General Motors sit down strike and those which oc curred in Italy in 1922. In Italy groups of workers, avowedly Com munists, took possession of auto mobile and other factories and not only occupied them .but undertook to operate them. A young Socialist newspaper man named Benito Mus solini offered a solution which the King of Italy accepted, a system of Home Demonstration Club News BY MRS. T. J. O'NEIL Macon County Home Demonstration Agent NEW CLUBS Home Demonstration clubs 'have been organized at Pine Grove and Higdonville. The officers elected by the clubs are as " follows : Pine Grove, president, Mrs. J. F. Peek; vice president. Mrs. T. D. McCov: secretary, Mrs. G. W. Moses. Hig donville, president, Mrs. J. J. Cor bin; vice president: Mrs. T. F. ! Crisp; secretary, Mrs. Harley Stewart. The project selected for study during the coming year is .roods and Nutrition. HOME DEMONSTRATION LIBRARY The Home Demonstration .clubs of Macon cgunty have voted to start , a home demonstration club liDrary. 1 he library is to contain books of interest to club members and their children. The books will be loaned to the clubs for the per iod of one month. Magazines are to be circulated, in the same way. It is hoped that within a few years a worthwhile '.library will be built up. The books are . to be donated by the various clubs or club members. a CURB MARKET The members of clubs who sell on the' curb market wish to ex press their appreciation to the wo men of Franklin for the support you Much Concern i 1 ' State Socialism which he called Fascism. Flood Relief and Control The disastrous floods have brought the subject of flood control sharply to the foreground. Congress acted speedily in .appropriating $790,000,000 which the . President had asked for relief purposes. Much of this, it is anticioated. will be spent for the relief and rehabili tation of those who lost homes arid property in the Ohio and Missis sippi Valleys. It is also the expecta tion that some of that appropriation will go toward startincr flood-co,n trol works in Various parts of the country under the so-called "Jad- win Plan. After the 1927 flood 'in the .lower Mississippi General Jadwin and the Army Engineer Corps worked out a comprehensive plan reaching to the farthest headwaters of all the important rivers of the .nation. By means of reservoirs, dams, dikes and dredging this plan, it is be lieved, could retard the flow of heavy rains or melting snow and so avert future floods. The drawback has been the enor mous cost. The Jadwin plan con templated that individual states would bear the cost of the necesr sary works inside their boundaries. But states began to ask why they should spend money at the head waters merely., to keep some other state, farther down river, from be ing flooded. The belief here is that flood con trol will fce accepted now as a na tional Droblem transrpnrlincr ctarp o interests, and that a beginning will be made toward carrying out the Jadwin Flan as an exclusively Fed eral undertaking. New NRA in Offing Something of the . nature of a new NKA is definitely in the mak ing. Irades and industries are to be authorized to make agreements among themselves on what consti tutes unfair competition or other improper trade practices; such agreements to cover, minimum wages and maximum hours of . work As outlined, the proposed law would make violations of such vol untary agreements illecral and oun- ishable by penalties imposed by federal courts. On Capitol Hill there is talk of going much farther, and imposing excise taxes upon business concerns proportioned to the decree to which each conforms to accented standards of hours and wntrpc Thncp .wno advocate this plan also propose ... "-o-- that Congress should set ,up its own definition of ' interstate com merce, thus presumptively block ing any attempt of the Supreme Court to declare unconstitutional any law embodying or "based on that definition. which they have given the market The women realize that much can be done to improve the market and will appreciate any helpful sug gestions trom their patrons..
