POPULATION (1940 Ceaius) Lincoln County 24,18? Lincolnton 4,526 Crouse 221 Iron Station M Denver 264 *2.00 PER YEAR—IN ADVANCE * Lincolnton Gets New Dairy Industry Election Os 1944 AAA Committmen For Lincoln County ©lgton Washington, I). C. (NVVNS). —The house committee has finally cut new taxes for 1914 down to two billion dollars from the original goal of icn' billion requested by President Roose velt. The house itself may let the measure remain at this low figure, but the tax is apt to be rewritten and increased when it gets to the senate. The chief purpose for high new taxes, as emphasized by the Presi dent, was to take off some of the sur plus purchasing power in our nation which was expected to lead to infla tion. But it is agreed by most all au thorities here that this purpose will not be accomplished by the new bill —particularly in the light of the new attitude of the War Labor Relations Board toward raising wages. If wa ges of labor are raised, as it is ex- ( pected they will be, the increase in wages will amount to many millions more than the amount which will he added to taxes. Thus a two billion dollar tax mea sure will appear to be of no use at all so far as staving off inflation is concerned and will make only a very slight dent in our increasing national debt. It is difficult for most analysts here who have studied the situation to understand the attitude of Wil liam H. Davis, chairman of the Na tional War Labor Board, in saying in a letter to Vice-President Wallace, that labor, on the whole, has made heavier sacrifices on behalf of stand ardization than any other group. For, according to the government’s own figures, while living costs have in creased 22 per cent since Septem ber, 1939, the weekly earnings of workers in manufacturing industries has risen 69.3 per cent. But Mr. Davis’ statement indicates that his board wants the right to in crease wages further and is ready to scrap the “Little Steel” formula which was aimed at preventing in flationary wage increases. As soon as the government agreed to increase the wages of coal miners, after the mines had again been taken over by Uncle Sam, all labor rela tions experts here realized that the “Little Steel” formula had been side tracked ami there would be trouble on all other labor fronts unless other unions were given an opportunity to present their case for further increas es in wages. So it is likely, as a result of having given in to the coal miners, that wa ges will now be increased for all war workers and the increase will amount to much more than the new taxes which will be collected next year. 'there are some congressmen who argue that, although there is no jus tification for giving in to the coal miners, particularly while they were on strike, the most important thing is to get coal mined. They believe that the people will demand some thing to be done to curb the activi ties of the coal miners’ union but that the government’s first concern was, rightfully, to get the miners back towork no matter what the cost or how much bad feeling it might mean. But the great danger of this atti tude is that other war workers also realize that the government would be forced to go to almost any length to keep them at work, and, unless strong action is taken to prevent strikes and other forms of labor trouble, there is nothing to stop all unions from demanding more and more and getting away with it be cause of the emergency. It is commonly felt here that the labor situation is more dangerous than at any time since the war started. But it is also believed that most of the large unions will keep their men working, instead of strik ing .while the War Labor Board and various investigating groups deter mine what formula will apply to sta bilizing wages at a higher level.

HULL’S SPEECH AND SOVIET TRIP SET PRECEDENT First Cabinet Member Ever To Address Joint Meeting Os U. S. Congress Washington, Nov. 16.—Secretary Cordell Hull broke precedent by traveling 26,000 miles for the Mos cow conference, and he’ll break it again Thursday with a two-mile trip from the State Department to Capi tol Hill. Hull will he the first cabinet mem ber ever to speak before a joint ses sion of congress, which wants to hear a first hand account of the historic Moscow pact. Judging from the secretary’s re marks to a news conference yester day, his first since he returned from the Anglo-American-Russian talks, he will emphasize to House and Sen ate these points: 1. A cal for a united American i policy of interest in foreign affairs, backed by all political parties. 2. A proposed Allied commission to maintain order in liberated na tions until these countries can hold plebiscites to choose their rulers. Baltic, Balkan Free Elections Hull bore down on these points yesterday. He said all nations would be allowed to choose their own gov ernments ,at free elections, including the Baltic and Balkan States. . This reference to the future of the tiny Baltic states of Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania collided sharply with the oft-published Russian views that for other countries to discuss their status would be similar to an inter national conference on the future of California. The states were incorporated into the Soviet Union before Germany at tacked Russia in 1941. • A reporter raised the question of the Polish frontier and Hull repeated that the doctrine of plebiscites and the principle of the Atlantic Char ter were adopted by the three pow ers at Moscow. The European advisory council which the three governments decided to set up in London will examine the application of the doctrine to each country as it is liberated, the secre tary added. Mrs. Mamie Heavner has gone to Charlotte to spend several weeks with her daughter, Mrs. Joe Cherry. Affair Held In Woman’s Club House With L. B. Brown As Speaker 4-H Clubs of Lincoln County have completed another year’s work. It has been a busy year filled with many and varied activities, all of which were concluded and summed up in a 4-H Club Achievement Week. Na tional 4-H Achievement Week, No vember 6-13, was observed in Lin coln county by a series of meetings in each of the 1)1 clubs in the county and a county-wide meeting at the Woman’s Club house in Lincolnton on Saturday, November 13. A good number of 4-H’ers were present along with their 4-H neighborhood lead ers and parents for the program on Saturday. The meeting was called to order at 3 o’clock Saturday afternoon by Ryan Shelton of Salem Club, with Martha Yoder acting as secretary. Newton Smith, of Rock Springs Se nior Club, led our devotional.

Invasion Force May Spend Christmas Day in Britain London ,Nov. 16.—The Allied sec ond-front force is taking shape in the United Kingdom, but it appears probable that British, Canadian and American troops here will spend this Christmas in Britain. Talk that an invasion might be launched before the year-end can be pretty well bruhseed aside. The whole question will be linked with the Russian e ort and progress of Gen. Sir Harold Alexander’s Fif teenth Army Group in Italy and it probably will be some months before assault craft touch Europe’s beach es. BILL TO EASE FATHER DRAFT IS COMPROMISED | Provides No Father Anywhere In Nation To Be Called While Nonfather Available Washington, November 16.—The congressional deadlock over legisla t:on to ease the draft’s impact on fathers was broken today when a Senate-House committee agreed on a compromise embodying the principle that no father anywhere in the na tion would he called while a non father is available. This was the main point of a mea sure passed by the House October 26. but rejected in the Senate, which earlier had approved a bill to tight er. regulations for deferment of non faihers. Chairman May, Democrat of Ken tucky, ot the House Military Com mittee, called the compromise worked out with representatives of the Sen ate Military Committee “ail even stronger bill than the House passed.” The conferees’ agreement is sub ject to Senate and House ratification. It is to be submitted to the House first Thursday. The measure would direct that fa thers with children born before Sep tember 15, 1942, be placed at the bottom of the draft list and none be inducted if a nonfather is available for call by any local draft board any where. Nonfathers deferred because of employment on vital war work would not, however, be classed as availables. Would Nullify Order One effect of the bill would b e to nullify the order of the War Man- Power Commission that bartenders, race track employes, and other work ers listed by WMC as “nonessential,” be inducted without regard to wheth er or not they have dependents. This would mean, the Senate- House conferees said, no more new “work or fight” orders. The measure also would direct the President to withdraw all powers over selective service now held by Man-Power Chairman Paul V. Mc- Nutt, but if he wished, the President could redelegate them to May. Gen. Lewis B. Hershey, the selective serv ice director. The conferees dropped a provision in the Senate bill whereby defer ment of nonfathers in government employment would be forbidden un less congress received evidence of their “indispensibility.” As finally approved, the compro mise provides lor appointment of a commission to determine whether army and navy physical standards can be lowered to permit induction j of some men now classified as 4-F (physically, mentally, or morally not up to Army-Navy standards). It also provides that registrants may request and receive a physical examination if they are subject to a possible early call for induction.

CIRCULARS ARE ’ DISTRIBUTED IN WAY OF PROTEST Pamphlets Call Attention To Cherryville Men Not Yet Drafted (Gastonia Gazette) The community of Cherryville was astir today over pamphlets issued anonymously, reportedly by Pre l'earl Harbor fathers drafted in the Cherryville area, and listing a dozen or more names of undrafted men of the area who allegedly are not Pre- Ptarl Harbor fathers and have been deferred, declaring “They love this! country from a financial standpoint” and asking “Why were they defer red ? They have no dependents.” It was learned today the pamph lets appeared on the streets and else- | where in Cherryville yesterday, there | being two separate pamphlets, the lists of names being slightly differ ent on one pamphlet front the list on the other. One of the pamphlets reported signed “First Contingent, Pre-Pearl Harbor Fathers,” was reported to have said: “We are leaving. Our loved ones will get along. We com mend to you the following young men (here the list of names appeared). “Please assist them to acquire vast acreage, white-faced cattle, bank and milk stock, autos, gasoline, nice homes and bird dogs. We promise that only over our dead bodies will Hitler and Toj 0 take it away from them.” The other pamphlet, it was said, asked “Why were they deferred? They have no dependents.” Contacted by the Gazette today, the Cherryville area draft office had no comment or statement to make. It was understood the matter is be ing investigated by state selective service headquarters at Raleigh and it was indicated from one source to day that a statement will probably be issued from state headquarters after the investigation is completed.
