(Special to The Star) WASHINGTON, June 3.—While President Roosevelt stripped the l!PA of its last shred of authority ^ tossing out 411 court cases in volving Blue Eagle violations, or ganized labor prepared for battle. The President’s wholesale action, coupled with an announcement that other legal actions contemplated would not be initiated, followed olose after the dropping of hints in high quarters that the President would propose no stop-gap NRA legislation. And if any permanent plan was ready for submission. Con gressional leaders,at least, lacked any inkling of it. Cummings Approves. Labor and other cases that made history were formally thrown out bv the White House announcement. This constituted his approval of a recommendation by Attorney Gen eral Cummings. Involved were nearly two score labor oases, including the House majority rule” action, the Fire stone and Goodrich labor election cases and the Weirton Steel and Greif clothing company cases in volving company unions. Others, both initiated by and against the government, concerned art-ions taken by the Alcohol Con trol and Petroleum administrations, the National Steel Labor Relations board, the AAA and Textile Labor board. Final Release. The dismissals generally were in terpreted in Washington as not only a final release on business for merly regulated by the NRA, but also a concession that no hope re mained for pressing such actions since the Supreme court’s sweeping derision. On?*meed labor chieftains today were summoned to a special war council to chart tactics for battle “the emergency created” by NRA’s death and to consider the Supreme court * power to invalidate laws. Labor Meet Called. WiBtam Green, president, called the American Federation of Labor’s executive council to assemble Thurs day. He urged all workers to use “their economic strength” in resist ing “to the utmost all attempts to lower wages and living standards.” Terming the high court’s opinion “a severe and stunning blow to eco nomic advancement and social prog ress" Green said: The fundamental principle in ■'mived In the decision of the Su preme court is a question which must be and will be considered not only by the American Federation of Labor but by the masses of the peo ple generally. This involved exercise the power of the Supreme court io declare laws enacted by Con s’*** as unconstitutional.” Rev. Lawrence Lee To Get B. D. Degree Pev. Lawrence Lee of Lawndale receive his B.

Labor and Capital Must Work in Harmony to Hold Ground Gained by Code Typhoid Fever Warning Given By Dr. Thompson Issued as a potential warn ing today pas the announce ment from the office of Dr. H. C. Thompson, county physician, that two cases of typhoid fever have been reported in the coun ty in the past two weeks. One case is in West Shelby and the other hi No. 7 town ship. Dr. Thompson said these are the first to be reported since the county wide vaccination two years ago, and advises imme diate vaccination for those who have not had it recently.

Tenants are not required to make these applications, but landlords are required to post their records on their bams so the tenants can examine them. The 20th of this month is the last day applications wil be received in Raleigh, Mr Propst said WASHINGTON, June a.-Wheth er they approve or disapprove of the 0. S. Supreme court’s decision holding the NRA unconstitutional, not a word of criticism has come from employer or employee. Each grants to the supreme court its right of supremacy In interpreting the law and the constitution. No one will dare question the fairness of the unanimous ruling of the nine Justices who reviewed the “sick chicken" case and decided that con gress can make laws but not dele gate its law-making authority to the executive branch of our gov ernment. This decision was one of the most far-reaching that has been hanedd down by the supreme court in a generation. It has completely upset New Deal plans. Official Washington is in a turmoil to de cide where to go from here. Presi dent Roosevelt maintaining his characteristic poise and calmness is conferring daily with officials and working out a course to pursue. It ie reasonably certain now that the ground gained will not be lost. Washington newspapers are re ceiving dispatches from thousands of big business heads, most of whom declare that wages and hours will be maintained and that child labor will never be resorted to However, organised labor is In i quandary. The court’s decision throws out the puszling trouble making “section 7?A” which or ganized labor seized upon to un ionize tabor throughout the na tion. Green and Gorman who made threats of strikes if the Wagner labor disputes bill and the thirty hour work-week bill are not passed, have quieted down. They fear that they have already been to mili tant. Industries that have adhered (Continued on page six.) Postal Employees Choose J. H.

Three Bound Over On Charges of Theft Three men were held for break ing and entering charges in Record ers Court last week. They were Wiley McSwatn, who pled guilty to forcible trespass in Watson's tin shop, and was given r suspended sentence of six months dependent on good behavior for two year; James Sisk, who was held in the Watson case, and for breaking into the home of Burt Wright, who was bound over under $260 bond in each case; and Worth Towery, for breaking and entering Clyde Wal lace's home and stealing $18. He was bound over for the Superior Court. Cleveland cotton growers tn seven townships were obtaining Bank head tax exemption certificates this morning. Competent fingers, of pretty stenographers flew In the county agent’s office recording AAA activities here. But In Washington, both agricul tural and political observers fear ed that all this-and similar work In hundreds of other counties— may come to naught. The Supreme court decision that slew the NRA may also kill the AAA. President Roosevelt hinted Friday, when he envisioned ftve-oent cot ton and 36-cent wheat if the AAA were abandoned. What la feared la lessened federal control and enforced abandonment of price pegging. Including the prob able loss of the processing tax. It Is known that the President Is deeply concerned over the future of the AAA. companion piece to the NRA. Some . of the economists think that a return to lower prices and mass production would not prove an unmtxed evil, that It would en able us to recapture the foreign markets, without which there can be no lasting prosperity, or stabil ity. Some commentators regard the candidly expressed fears of the President that the country may against experience 86 cents a bushel wheat and five cents a pound cot ton, as an admission that the ef forts of the last two yean, accom panied by government spending, has not placed agriculture on a sound, or permanent basis, and that pres ent prices are dependent upon a continuation of government loans and the maintenance of artificial measures of restriction and control. Shelby Crime Rate Lowest Last Month Total arrests for the month of May were 87, of which 27 were for prohibition violations, Chief of Po lice D. D. Wilkins’ report shows. This Is a drop of more than 50 percent for the past two months, he said. There were eight arrests In three cases of breaking, enter ing, with one case yet unsolved. For the same month last year, there were S3 arrests for drunken ness, five for breaking and enter ing, and a total of 81.
