The Governor made addresses during the week to the Negro State Fair at Raleigh aiid the Railroad Trainmen at Charlotte and then departed for Washington to appear before the Ways and Mer.n Committee of Congress and oppose the inheritance taxes. The will of J. B. Duke made public interested North Carolinians because of the large sums which were addedd to Duke's endowment fund. The will ul so made further provisions for charitable and religious objectives in North Carolina. The Salary and Wage Commission withdrew from its stand abolishing six of the holidays established by the Legislature when the Attorr.oy General advised the body it had no power to undo what the General As sembly had done. The commission got back at the employes however by stating that it was considering cut ting the annual holidays to six d7S unless the department heads co-operated wth it in reducing the number of legal holidays. The matter is still at issue. The commission had a hearing on salaries and classifica tions last week and decided to give consideration to a few appeals, but denied the great majority. The MRS.
