Max Gardner as president of the Cotton Textile Institute, which would carry with it chairmanship of the code au thority for the industry. Efforts to draft Governor Gard ner have so far been unsuccessful and it is not Relieved that any per manent successor to George A. Sloan, who withdrew his resigna tion as head of the institute in the face of the nation-wide strike last September only to renew it a few months later, will be chosen until it shall have been definitely deter mined what oongress will do about pending NRA legislation, Governor Gardner, who has been attorney for the institute for the past two years, is regarded as ac ceptable to both northern and southern interests and there are few men connected with the indus try who are. Unless some such per son is placed at the head of the in dustry, internal conflict as well as conflict with labor seems inevitable. Governor Gardner has always ad vocated a conciliatory attitude to ward labor and played an import ant part in adjusting the strike last year. Governors of New England states and members in congress from those states have recently been agitating a removal of the one dollar a week wage differential between northern and southern mills. However, the apparent conflict between north and south is much less acute than it otherwise would be due to the fact that identical interests in many cases own mills in both sections. Child Labor Law Faced By Defeat; HearingTomorrow Committee Headed By Tam Bowie Openly Hostile To Proposal Fostered By Gardner. Public hearing on the highly controversal child labor amendment to the federal constitution, pre sented in the house by Representa tive Ernest Gardner of Cleveland, has been set for Tuesday night, but the hearing will be little more than a formality. The committee has al I ready made up its mind to give the proposal an unfavorable report. Tam C. Bowie of Ashe is chair man of the constitutional amend ments committee and he is bitterly opposed to ratification of the child labor amendment, he says, adding, however, he will “not try to influ ence” any other member of the committee to vote against a favor able report. The news breaking today is that Representative Ralph W. McDon ald, who by virtue of the part he is playing in the formation of the McDonald-Lumpkin anti-sales tax bloc in the house has come to be known as the leader of the anti Ehringhaus bloc in the house, will make a fight for a favorable report on the child labor amendment. A member of the constitutional amendments committee, Represen tative McDonald said today: “I am confident the child labor 1 amendment will be given an un favorable report, but if I can find i two other members of the commit tee to sign a minority report with me we will take the bill to the floor of the house and see what hap pens.” Twenty-two of the 48 states have ratified the amendment to date. It takes ratification by 36 states to make it a part of the basic law of the nation. The amendment in question would give the congress the right to reg ulate child labor under the age of 18. Opponents of ratification have been successful in creating the im pression that if the congress is giv en this power it will be illegal to work any child under the age of 18. Hence a great amount of the opposition to its ratification. The special session of the 1924 North Carolina general assembly refused to ratify a similar amend ment. Governor Ehringhgus has asked the amendment be ratified | but he is not making any apparent fight in its behalf. Special Session Under Way Here; New Act Invoked Solicitor Spurting III, C. C.

Shaw in Superior court this morn ing, Deputy Clerk of the Court William Osborne estimated at noon as he sped all resources to get the documents written up and served Court was delayed all morning by the non-appearance of defendants. A capias instanter directs the of ficers to bring the defendant to court immediately.

Funeral services were held this afternoon at 4 o’clock at the Eliza beth church for Odell Gardner, 27 year old son of Mr. and Mrs. T. Clarence Gardner, who died Feb ruary 4 at Schofield Barracks in the Hawaiian Islands. The post is near Honolulu, and the body was shipped from that port and was due here March 8, but the boat was delayed a short time. It afrived in Kings Mountain this morning at 10:32. The Rev. B. P. Parks, pastor of the church, will be in charge. Reports of Mr. Gardner’s death have been vague as to detail, but it is understood that he died of asy phyxiation or strangulation result ing from an enlarged gland in his throat when he was given gas for an operation. He was in his home county in the fall of 1933, but since that time had been stationed In the Pacific. He had been in marine and naval service for a period of eight years. He is survived by his parents and two brothers who live in Shelby and a sister and brother in New York. Youth With Dislocated Vertebra And Fractured Skull Is Treated A victim of circumstances, the depression, an automobile accident, and the general hardships of the traveled road, Edward Lane, 22, was given treatment at the Shelby hospital. while there he had a plaster cast, which was holding a dislocat ed neck in place, adjusted, had a fractured skull examined, and best of all was given a square meal. Young Lane was taken to the hos pital after he had fainted and fall en on the streets in the southern part of Shelby and Dr. Lattimore, who attended him, stated that the most serious thing wrong with him immediately was that he was al most perished to death. The youth was on hfs way to Summerville, Massachusetts where I he lives, after an extended trip to | Florida and other parts of the south. Some where in the deeper south he had been run down by an auto and sustained the dislocated vertebra in his neck and a de pressed fracture of his skull. He remained for two months in the St. Francis hospital in Greenville, 8. C., where under the care of Dr. White, an operation was performed on his head and the cast placed around his neck. He was out of money when he left Greenville and had not eaten since that time. He was pjcked up by Roscoe Lutz who said he appeared to be intelligent, from a good home, and very grateful for any kindness. He was sent to Charlotte by bus where he will contact a specialist for his injuries. Bailey Out To Gig Fighting Kingfish In Battle Today N. C. Senator Gets Job From Robinson Political Pond To Be Stirred Today As Report Cornea On Farley Probe. WASHINGTON, March 11.—North Carolina's Senator Josiah W. Bailey, mighty fisherman of the Morehead City coast, where his prowess is not ed, has been chosen to cast flies, grubs, live bait, grappling hooks, or whatever bait he chooses, in an ef fort to hook a Louisiana specie known as the Kingfish. Senator Bailey was due to start angling today for Senator Huey P. Long. Democratic Majority Leader Robinson is worn and weary from the battle, and hands the pole and gaff to Mr. Bailey this morning. Bailey finds himself thrust in the fore under rather unusual circum stances, and such as he no doubt relishes. For the past month, after all Democrats in the senate had failed to handle the “Kingfish,” Bailey was picked on several occas ions to gig the "Kingfish." Stung Him Once. He speared him last Thursday which evoked a threat from Long to invade North Carolina next year and campaign against Bailey for re election. Undaunted, Bailey contin ued angling for Long and the threat was repeated next day, though Long was careful thereafter to ward off Bailey's thrusts. Then Bailey was up on the sub committee of the senate postoffice committee to Investigate and report on Long’s charges against Farley. Meanwhile, Long has brought in the name of the President. Late yesterday Bailey's committee report ed that the “Kingfish” had failed to make good, or substantiate his charges, and the report comes up Monday. Big Show Today. The smart, artful and resourceful Long will be on hand. So will the astute, cunning and learned Bailey. Monday’s senate show is expected to be the biggest of Washington’s passing parade. Bailey finds himself in the fore, the man who will de fend the report, Farley and the ad ministration of Roosevelt. Everyone concedes that Bailey finds himself in a fortunate position, just the kind that those who know Bailey best know he likes best. Bailey's luck is not expected to fall him. Local Creditors Ask Bankruptcy For Byrum Mill To the troubles of the Byrum Hosiery mill, which was thrown into receivership by Superior Court Judge Don Phillips on Feb. 13, is now added the probability of a fed eral receivership, petitioned by lo cal creditors. Such a petition has been filed through Attorney Peyton McSwain at the request of Shelby merchants who accepted labor checks, written by the Byrum company prior to the receivership. Many of these checks—their total could not be de termined—were returned by the bank marked "No Funds.” Under the receivership, the mill has paid all labor in cash. The petition in federal bank ruptcy is to be heard by Judge E. Yates Webb on March 18. On that date, he opens a term of federal court in Shelby. Lutheran Lenten Services Continue Lenten services at the Lutheran church which began last Thursday night, will continue this week with preaching each evening at 7:30 oy the pastor Dr. E. C. Cooper.

The rumor was denied and at 2 o'clock it had recovered 100 points lost. \ Huty P. Lony Bailey, Potent Angler, Tries for Kingfish —■ ■ ■ , . ---- ... «■ After a furious flareup in the saute <mrtog which he was called a “madman”, Huey P.

Again the revenue bill Is promis ed by the finance committees early In the week, although trouble Is be ing experienced In getting enough estimated revenue in It to take care of the appropriations made by the appropriations committee. Governor Ehringhaus conferred during the week with the four chairmen of these committees In an effort to get the two nearer together, it is possible that the appropriations measure will have to be pared In bpots before a balance can be reach ed, as the finance committee Is hav ing a hard time getting much more money.

March 10.—The legis lature today completed the 60-day period which legislators are allow ed to draw their pay at the rata of 110 per day. Under the constitution the law makers get $600 a legislative sea1 slon and the state auditor allows payment at the rate of $10 per day the first 60 days. Up to today the 1936 general as sembly had cost the state $84,445.96 for personal service alone, and many legislators had not drawn their $600. No costs of printing and other miscellaneous Items were Included. There have been 246 new laws written Into the Nviks since the legislators assembled January 9, but the number of new bill Intro ductions Is trailing behind the 1933 figure. For 52 legislative days this term the record shows 936 new bills, 303 senate and 633 house, compared with 1,144, 336 senate and 818 house on the comparative day in 1933. The personal service payroll for the legislature last week, exclusive of pay to members, was $1,786 for senate attaches, $1,695110 for house attaches and $667 in the enrolling office.

The third reduction in electric power rates, to wholesale c us to Biers I of the Duke Power Co., went into] effect March 1st, according to Util* | ities Commissioner Stanley Win-1 borne who writes The Star as fol lows : "The reduction, which you men tion having seen published in the Associated Press dispatch, became effective on March 1st, throughout the Duke territory and is applicable to municipalities purchasing power from said company. This reduction is based upon the load factor of the municipality and the amount of the reduction, depends upon the way the municipality operates its mup‘ cipal water pumps, et cetera, so as to even the spread of consumption: as nearly as possible throughout the [ 24 hour period. The amount erf the reduction further depends upon whether the municipality rein's ic manufacturing enterprises which operate at night. In the town of Lexington, I am informed, the re duction is approximately 11 per cent. In order to determine what the reduction will mean to Shelby, it will be necessary to determine its load factor by measuring with a demand meter the amount of elec trical energy each hour for the pe riod of a month and obtaining the average difference between the high and low consumption during said period. The nearer uniform the consumption the greater the reduction. "The Duke Power company would be glad to inform yen what the rr dnetion would be in Shelby."
