SATURDAY, JULY 17, 1948 os i AAAI PARTIE 155. Seg Southern States Split From Democratic Party By CHARLES F. BARRETT Atlanta, July 17 -- (AP)--Many leading southerners expressed be- lief today the civil rights battle marks a major turning point in American political history. The United States is witnessing, they said, either the first pangs of a new party or the beginning of a significant shift, a new line-up of supporters and policies under the old Democratic and Republican labels, Some of the South's larges® naws~ papers saw an end to the half- century of one-party Democratic rule in the South. Editor Ralph McGill of the At- lanta Constitution summed it up today with an emphatic: "An era is ended." A remodelled Democratic Party, he said, will swing a little to the left of the late Franklin Roosevelt and will be based on the big-city and labor vote. Meanwhile, "the Republican Party moves slowly into the South. An era is ended." Among Southern political leaders, closer to the fray, some professed to see a major new party in the making. : Senator Richard Russell (Dem.- Ga.) under whose banner 263 southern votes rallied at the Dem- ocratic convention, said in an in- terview: : "I believe ft is inevitable, and has been proven in the history of our nation, that thése of us who feel alike must unite in a single party. "We can only 'speculate on a spe- cific form fer a constitutional party which would uphold Jeffer- sonian Democracy and the right of * local self-government. States rights certainly would not be the only issue, "But if the Democratic Party is to become a tool of the big-city machines, as it now appears, then we Southerners must take some other steps." Railways, Unions Sign Agreement Montreal, July 17 -- (CP) -- An agreement between the railways and 18 International brotherhoods giv- ing effect to the 17-cents-an-hour wage increase which settled a com- pany-union dispute Wednesday was sighed here Friday. The agreement was reached Wed- nesday afternoon 15 hours before the unions threatened a general - strike to enforce wage demands. Frarkk H. Hall, chairman of the brotherhoods' negotiating commit- tee, who headed the union signa- tories, said today that the agree- ment in Ottawa was with the gov- ernment, not with the railways. It did not become official until signed this afternoon. Privy Council Adjourns Hearing On Sask. Board London, July 17--(CP)--A seven- day hearing before the law Lords of the Privy Council of arguments as to whether Saskatchewan's Farm Security Act is valid was ad- journed yesterday with a statement by Viscount Simon that a second question relating to the Act need not be argued. 'The question was: If section 6 of the Act is within the legislative power of the Saskatchewan Gov- ernment, can it be applied § mort- gages under the National Housing Act or mortgages held by the Can- adian Farm Loan Board of the Central Mortgage and Housing Corporation? Lord Simon said that the law Lords had decided not to call for | argument on this second issue. Previous argument had been over the question whether the Saskat- chewan Mediation Board had pow- er to decide if 'the farmer has been a victim of crop failure. H. Cronkite of Saskatoon, clos- ing his argument, thanked the five law Lords 'hearing the appeal for their "most patient hearihg" and other Canadian counsel bowed their assent. Earlier Cronkite replied to argu- ments by J. L. Ilsley, a former Ca- nadian Cabinet Minister, and C. F. H. Carson that the provincial Me- diation Board, which the Saskat- chewan Government proposed set- ting up to decide on cases of crop failure, was not constntutional un- der the B.N.A. Act.
