For instance, the President was re-armed with statistical information newly" gathered by his economic gladiators here, just before he set put southward. One official survey given to him by a government agency indicated there are 1,500,000 to 1,750,000 families in the South with incomes of less than $30 per month. Practically all of these (roughly 1,200.000) are farmers or ruralities. Only 175,000 to 200,000 are city families. In addition there art about 315,000 families on WPA receiving less than $30.

No break-dosvn between white and colored families was made.

Speaking on tho topic of "conflicting taxation." Long declared: "I believe the states should have parently under orders, but; Jackson has been left standing there. Later the Henry Wallace boomlet Mail Week ia to intensify the -Greats Care Taken" Secretary of State CordcU Hull has informed Governor Hurley that Massachusetts protests against tho reciprocal trade treaties would be given "careful constdcratioo."

The paper is given to passengers for writing. Eaton's may also designation, front and back, so as to be easily recognizable by Post Office employees. It ia interesting to note that the Eaton Paper Company's predecessor in South Lee made thin paper for the pony express back in 1868-1870 and subsequently made thin paper for foreign corespondents.

A special and official cachet has been authorized for Kitty Hawk for air mail week by the Post' Office Department.

This thick volume of statistics concludes that about one-fifth bf one per cent of southern textile workers receive than 12 cents per hour; 34 per cent receive 324 to 374 cents; 18 per cent get 37 to 42 cents. The Labor Department also has other new ammunition placing the average rate on common labor in the9 South at 39 centa and in the North at 55 cents. In a breakdown of this common wage average by South Carolina is shown at 23 cents; Georgia second 26.7 cents: North Carolina 28.1; Arkansas 28.8. Highest is Washington with 61 JJ. 0 The statistics do not show the difference in cost of living in various states, but without this they make out a clear case of need for better wages at the bottom.

Where the trouble will come this time as last, is over the practicability of improving them by federal edict. Apparently no one in Congress disagrees on the need, but practically everyone disagrees in some-degree as to whether specific proposals will work. That is, if a Louisiana lumber mill is put out of business by a federal edict for a 40 cent minimum (because it cannot meet competition with the increased coat of operation), the workers of that company will not cocial purposes.
