WHERE
I STAND
In order that there may be no
misunderstanding about my posi
tion as a candidate for the Demo
cratic Nomination for member of
the Lower House of The North
Carolina General Assembly, I want
to state that if I am nominated
and elected 1 plan to fill the two
existing: vacancies on the Bruns
wick County Board of Education
in a fair and equitable manner.
Two men have filed for this
or'ice frora Shallotte School Dis
triet. and it would be my purpose to name one of these men to the
board. Even though no candidate has filed for a place on the board
from the Southport School District. I would, after consulting with
leading citizens of that section of the county, name a representative
from that district to the board.
I believe in equal rights and equal representation, and if nomi
nated and elected it shall be my purpose to do my best to represent
all of the citizens of the county.

[^RailiL J^ds are a means provided
avoir) * m Act in the public inter
strtkes. The President's Board^
after hearing evidence for 33 days, made
recommendations based on all the facts in
the case. The railroads have accepted these
recommendations.
Who's to blame?
Although they deplored so large an extra cost
burden, the railroads accepted the report of
the Board because they felt it was in the pub
lic interest to uphold the spirit and intent of
the Railway Labor Act.
In contrast, this small group of railroad
union leaders are attempting to flout the
intent and spirit of the Railway Labor Act,
and dictate their own terms.
They have dictated a pai^Iyzing railroad
strike.
You will be the victim!
How long will the American public stand
for the undemocratic, arbitrary, and abusive
use of the right to strike and the disregard
of the obligation to provide transportation?
How long can the American people permit
a few dictatorial union leaders to defy the
processes provided for peaceful settlement
of disputes?
Force seldom produces settlements that arc
either fair or lasting. Moreover, a point is
often reached when personal interests must
be held subordinate to the gTeatcr public
welfare. That is why the railroads have ac
cepted the Emergency Board recommenda
tions. That is also why the leaders of these
three unions should reconsider their decision
to call a paralyzing strike.
