FOSTER And Family. ltc IH WASHINGTON IB9BBR wmat ■HHj is TAKING I PLACE yi by UNITED STATES SENATOR ****** The legislative decks of Con gress are being cleared for action. Speedy consideration will be giv en to important measures already n the Congressional hopper, many having already undergone the scrutiny of committees. Adjourn ment of what has been one of the three longest sessions of the last fifteen years may come as early as August 15, or it may be pro longed until September 1. Events of the next few days will have a bearing on the adjournment date. Of the pending measures, two are of prime importance to North Carolina —the wage and hour bill and farm legislation. The form er may vitally affect the work ing conditions of countless hun dreds of industrial workers in the state and any new farm bill will, of course, exercise an influence on the income of the agricultural population. WAGE AND HOUR BILL—As a result of careful consideration on the part of the Senate Committee on Education and Labor, the wage and hour bill to be given early attention, provides only basic standards for maximum hours, minimum wages and child labor. The administering board would be given some powers of adjustment, based on forty cents an hour and forty hours a week. Many highly controversial fea tures of the bill, particularly as regards separate wage and hour standards in the absence of union agreements more favorable to workers, have been eliminated. Of extreme importance to the South is the regional differentials >. in •minimum wages permitted in the revised bill. The measure would apply to all establishments whose goods enter into interstate com merce or compete, in a substan tial way, with goods moving into interstate commerce, regardless of the number of employees. Ob viously, the great tobacco, cotton and rayon manufacturing plants in the state would be affected. And these plants and their em ployees may rest assured that members of Congress from the South are alive to the influence the wage and hour bill may have on the Southern states and are ready to see that the rights of all are safeguarded. FARM LEGISLATION The situation as regards new and much needed farm legislation blows hot and cold. One day it looks as if the Congress will speedily enact new farm legisla tion before adjournment. The outlook for a heavy cotton sur plus is a source of concern. On other days the outlook for im mediate action is not encourag ing. In other words, there are two schools of thought on the sub ject. One favors quick steps to aid the farmers and to prepare for any emergency now while crops are good and prices are high. The other school of thought is oppos ed to temporary expedients and hurriedly drafted laws. It includes many Congressional veterans and leans toward the Idea of exten sive regional hearings to get at the roots of the problem on a permanent basis. There is some merit to this plan, when It is considered that steps must be taken to meet conditions ahead that can only be seen dimly now. Reconciliation between many conflicting attitudes and ideas and attempts to solve the farm problem on the basis of econom ics and not politics are essential to an improvement of the status of agriculture and those who till the soil SWAN CREEK A number of relatives and friends attended the birthday celebration of Mrs. Jim Vestal last Sunday.
