I Biff Washington, April 1. Rising prices of consumer goods and the labor situation are the main wor ries of the Administration, and are regarded by many as consti tuting the "crisis" which Presi dent Roosevelt spoke of when he asked Congress to authorise him to make changes in the Supreme Court so that emergency legisla tion would be held to be Consti tutional. That prices are rising faster than the incomes of most Amer icans are rising is disclosed by of ficial statistics of the Govern ment, and that this process will continue so long as the Govern ment continues to operate on bor rowed money, is the gist of the warning sounded by Governor Marrimer S. Eccles, of the Fed eral Reserve Board. Mr. Eccles' proposed remedy is to cut down Federal expenditures and Impose new taxes, In order to balance the budget as soon as possible. This is not in accord with the ideas of some other members of the Cab inet, who do not want to have J. M. FRANKLIN - Registered Architect Phone 318 Elkin, N. C.

On the other hand. Secretary Wallace of Agriculture has in dorsed Mr. Eccles' views, and Secretary Roper of Commerce agrees, while Treasury Secretary Morgenthau is resisting as strong ly as he can the demands of the spenders to be allowed to keep on spending. Inflation Warning The force of Mr. Eccles* warn ing has not been lost on the lead ers in Congress, who have been warned many times from other sources that unless there Is a firm check upon the present. in flationary trend there is great danger of another collapse which might be as serious as that of 1929 and which. If it should oc cur before the election of 1940, would seriously affect the chances of the Democratic party contin uing in power. But offsetting that in the minds of many lead ers are considerations of imme diate political concern. Spending money, particularly for relief, makes votes; to stop spending it might lose enough votes in many districts to unseat Congressmen who will come uj) for re-election next year. Also, taxes are un popular, unless they can be * im posed only on wealthy Individ uals and corporations. That those who are now paying taxes In the "upper brackets" can pay enough more to bring the Federal outgo and income into balance is con sidered doubtful. That means that any new in come taxes must be spread down ward, to reacfy the lower incomes, which would be politically risky, or must be in the form of excise taxes on commodities, which might be equally unpopular. How ever, Congressional economists and tax advisers are diligently studying the possibilities in both of those fields. There is talk of new excise taxes on coffee, tea, sugar—which seems quite cer tain salt, steel and electrical appliances. Just at present both Senate and House spokesmen are saying that no new taxes will be necessary. That can be dismiss ed as the usual line of political talk heard every year at this per iod in the Congressional session. The practice has been, and doubtless will be this year, to "hush-hush" on taxation until along in July or August, and then rush through a new tax bill. Labor Policy Needed Out of the labor situation pre cipitated by the "sit-down" strikes in the automobile indus try has arisen a strong demand for the clarification of the Gov ernment's labor policy. There is indeed, no definite labor policy on which all elements in the Ad ministration are agreed. The ma jor item of labor legislation, the Wagner Labor Relations Act, is still before the Supreme Court awaiting decision as to its consti tutionality. That it is an inade THE BT,Km TRIBUNE. EI,KIN. NORTH CAROUNA quate tool in any serious labor dispute is indicated by the fact that it has not been invoked in the automobile strikes. It places , no power in the Government to intervene unless the organized I workers in an industry call on the | National Labor Relations Board J for aid. Employers cannot, under the Wagner Act, take the initia tive in calling for a decision as to the rights or wrongs of a dispute with their employees, and no power is lodged In any Govern ment agency to compel workers to accept the Labor Board's de cisions if they should be contrary to the workers' demands. Regard less of the constitutionality of the Wagner Act, there is a general consensus that an entirely differ- ! ent kind of labor legislation Is , needed. The Railway Labor Me- ; jdiation law has worked admira jbly In maintaining excellent re- I I lations between railway workers , and the roads, and under it the j j railway brotherhoods have not j i only maintained the respect and good will of the companies and the public, but have steadily bet ,tered their own economic condi ition. Searchers for a new Feder al Labor policy point to this me diation law as a good base to start from, while much study is being given to the British Labor Act, which places much more respon sibility upon organized Labor than any statutes so far enacted in this country. , Privately a clear majority of Senators admit their opposition to the President's Supreme Court proposal; publicly not so many are willing to go on record. Seek ing a basis of compromise, the proposal to authorize two addi tional Supreme Court justices seems likely to be acceptable to Congress, but whether it would 'be to the President, who has de jclared he will accept no compro mise is another question. It is | possible that out of the agitation i may come the submission to the [states of one or more Constitu tional amendments. More than twenty resolutions for am end mends have been Introduced in both houses. One which has long been discussed would limit the President to one term of six years. Others would limit the power of the Supreme Court to declare acts of Congress invalid, and several of the proposals un dertake to broaden the grant of power to Congress to include many kinds of social legislation and to take from the states many of the powers now reserved to them. ; | Elkin Merchants Plan -jSnecial Bargain Days ) To Be Held Next Week (Continued from front page) ; At 12:30 p. m.
