One striker, 43 years old. has a

worked in the mill the past 25 years.
"I've already had to take one of

said, "but I'll take the rest of them

They emphasized repeatedly that
they "haven't wanted for anything"
sircc the strike began. "We're eat
ing just as well and maybe better
than before, one striker asserted.
But all is not as rosy as the pic
ture they painted or tried to paint.
For instance, one striker said, rath
er dejectedly: "Everyday has been
Sunday for so long, I just don't know
what to do anymore.
The unionists arc not just a group
of individuals. They arc a body of
people who are standing for what

mony that exists between them is
certainly indicative of their strength.
Unions all over the state have j
joined to support the strikers at
Henderson. One or two locals in Dur
ham have sent money, others have
sent cigarettes reportedly 200 car-
ons to one local last week.
The strikers spend their days play
ing checkers in one of the union
halls, fishing, hunting or standing
around talking any and everything.
They also talked of their arrests
and near-arrests. They did this with
a haughty air but at the same time
there was a twinge of hostility. Once
in a while some of them get odd
j-bs to earn some spending money.
One striker asserted that when the
s'.rike began, he "had 11c in his
ockct. And I've got more than that
now even some bills." But they
k nied that the union is paying them
any cash.
Each Friday night, at local 578 in
South Henderson, a dance is held.
Everyone seems to know everyone
else, and the affair is one of good-
natured kidding and joking.
The men at the union halls seemed
more anxious to talk about their si
tuation than did the women. The
women stood or sat around in the
background, talking among them
selves. As a wnoie me women
seemed less cheerful than the men
And then there were the children
As in almost any situation, the chil
tiren were carefree and gay un
aware of the tension and trouble
that surrounded them. They ran
around the union hall, laughing,
sci earning, shooting each pother
and reporters with water pistols
and just generally getting in the
thick of things. And, again, as in
almost any situation, parents were
constantly giving forth with shouts
of "keep quiet for a while." They
did for a wlule.
The youngsters, 14 16 years old
seemed concerned about the situa
tion, but, here again, there was
cheerful feeling. They didn't seem
bitter about the matter merely sad
dened to some degree. They were
alio very humble - and curious
Much of what the youngsters said
was mere repetition of the things
their elders had said and were still

he did so, he looked up as if to get

saying, "See, things aren't really

The strikers' feelings toward Gov.
ledges and mill president John D.
Cooper Jr., are very strong. As one
put it, "you don't want to hear our
opinions of Hodges."
They feel that "Hodges could've
settled the strike in 15 minutes if
he'd wanted to." They also think
he "strike would have been over
in a week" if Hodges had not sent
he State Ilighway Patrolmen to
lie scene.
One said he thinks the strike
would end in two weeks if the troop
ers were pulled out now. He further
stated that he thinks Hodges is
"prolonging the strike. He's scared
