With the Legislature i (By Emmet Atkins, Jr.) Raleigh, Jan. 28.—The most In tensive struggle of this session of the General Assembly will reach a climax this week when the is sue of highway fund diversion is brought squarely into the open. Headed on one hand by Gov ernor Hoey and on the other by bhe petroleum interests, the op posing forces will meet in almost hand-to-hand conflict during the week. The issue—involving the proposed transfer of $7,000,000 from the highway fund to the general fund —won't be decided this week, but by week's end the field of battle should be strewn with enough dead to indicate which way the fight will go. Governor Hoey's willingness to take the stump and defend the measure, not only before a joint session of both houses but over a state-wide radio hook-up as well, indicates the import&iye the ad ministration attaches to the com ing struggle. It is seldom the governor goes before the legisla ture to defend or attack any measure being pondered by the solons. But when he indicated last week his desire to address the Assembly in defense of his stand for diversion, an invitation was promptly extended. In accepting the invitation to speak Tuesday night, he indicated his plea would follow along the lines of his first message to the legislature. Meanwhile, opponents of diver sion have spent the last few days preparing their case to present before the Finance committee Tuesday afternoon, just six hours before the Governor is scheduled to deliver his dramatic plea. The petroleum interests have waged a determined battle against diversion the past three weeks, using the radio to a great extent. E. B. Jeffress, Greensboro, and Capus Waynick, High Point, both former Highway Commission chairmen, appeared in recent broadcasts opposing diversion. The petroleum interests also pre sented Senator Willie Lee Lump kin of Franklin, campaign mana ger for Dr. Ralph McDonald dur ing the 1936 gubernatorial pri maries. The radio broadside against di version, one of the most intensive campaigns of its sort ever seen in North Carolina, is being sponsored by the Highway Users Conference.

Immediately following the an nouncement that the Governor would take to the air Tuesday night in defense of his highway stand, anti-diversionlsts began a stealthy campaign to stage an elaborate rally and display their strength on that night. So far as could be ascertained at week's end, they are planning to stage a mass demonstration by having dozens of their supporters from all sections of the state descend upon Raleigh to demonstrate their potential strength and at the same time register their op position to the administration's stand on the issue. All indications point to one of the most spectaular bonfires yet kindled in the Capital City. The "wages and hours" ques tion reared its head on the floor of the Assembly last week with the introduction of a minimum wage bill by Senator Edwin C.! Gregory of Salisbury. The issue, judging by the number of com munications already received by the labor committees, promises to be among the most controversial to be threshed out by the law makers during the session. The Gregory bill is the first of two labor bills that will be intro duced. Labor Commissioner For est Shuford is preparing a mod erated bill which he is expected to introduce the early part of this week. The expected Shuford bill has already been nicknamed the "moderate bill" in contrast to the more drastic Gregory bill. Patterned after Washington's model labor bill, the Gregory measure would place a "floor" under intrastate wages of 25 cents per hour the first year, 30 cents the second year and 40 cents af ter seven years. Hours per week would be limited to 44 the first year, 42 the second, and 40 after tlie third year. Viewed as a drastic initiation of the minmum wage law in North Carolina, the bill is supported by a relatively small bloc in both houses, and even the labor unions THE ELKIN TRIBUNE.

The meas ure would place wage-hour ad ministration under the Depart ment of Labor, which would be authorized to organize a Wage and Hour Bureau with a director to enforce the act. The more moderate Shuford bill, fostered by the Department of Labor and backed by a large majority in both houses,, is ex pected to supercede the Gregory bill. Whereas the Gregory bill seeks to blanket the minimum wage standard on all intrastate labor ers with three exceptions—profes sional and executive workers, ag ricultural workers and domestic labor—the moderate version, on the other hand, will fix the 25- cent-per-hour minimum with pro- Visions for absorbing the shock for industries demonstrating their inability to operate under it. In dustrial committees similar to the federal groups, appointed by the Commissioner of Labor, would hear employer and employee and make findings of fact as to the employer's ability to meet more moderate wages, ranging down ward from the 25 cent statutory provision. The committees, representing both groups, would be empowered to modify the standards to the needs of plants within an identi cal type of industry. Such a plan has been enacted in Kentucky and apparently operates success fully. • T Committee hearings on the two bills will start next week. In the fact of the Governor's call for uniform election laws and the State Board of Election spon sored bills for absentee ballot re form, the House Wednesday ad ded two more local bills to kill the absentee ballot. The new bills came from Clay and Moore coun ties. Twelve such local bills have been introduced in the House and absentee opponents declare that before the session ends the num ber will reach 40. Administrations election re forms, introduced by W. Prank Taylor of Wayne, would repeal all local laws in conflict and provide a uniform law, which would re turn the absentee—in modified form to about 20 counties now ex empt. Absentee opponents asserted however, that should the Taylor bill pass, new local bills will come on the heels of that law to again repeal the absentee in a large minority of counties. Such a rebellion against the ab sentee still depends upon the sentiment in the Senate, where no such local bills have been of fered. COOL SPRINGS Well, well, we've been wanting our numbers moved!
