Dy RON SHUMATE (Thin is a third in a series about Ihe Harriet Henderson strike. The series was complied by reporter Ron Shumate and photographer Peter Ness) The date was Friday, April 2, 1959. The time was 3:30 p.m. The place was TWUA local 584, Hen derson, N. C. The sky was clear, the sun was shinning and a breeze was blowing. A large crowd was gathered out side the dingy white union hall. Cars filled the lot near the build ing and lined the streets. Inside, people were jammed in to every available space. People sat on the long counter used for distributing food to hungry strik ers. Others sat on boxes of the food. Feet scuffled on the dirty concrete floor. The pungent odor of sweat drifted through the al- I ready humid room But this was not a rally for fran tic. tired strikers. This was a wedding. And across the street, some 50 yards distant, stood a neat, clean brick building. This was a church. The two newly-weds came out of the dimly-lit concrete building into the bright sunlight. They blinked, stared blankly at the crowd surrounding them and tried to get through. A State Highway Patrolman was taking pictures with a movie cam era. Other people were snapping shots with all sorts of cameras. The crowd finally let the new couple through. Then, as the pair walked dazedly toward their car, the crowd followed them much like they would have followed a movie star. with the stunned expressions U "'L :'-" . - NEWLY WEDS . . . married in a union hall still on their faces, the couple managed to get into the back seat of a green Chevrolet. The trooper ook one last shot at them with nis camera. The Chevy drove away. The crowd dispersed. The wedding was over. "They'd postponed their wedd ing for 21 weeks," the Highway Patralman said. "They wanted to get married after the strike was over, but when the negotiations broke down yesterday (Thursday) they decided to go ahead with it today." A few hours later, another High way Patrolman said he wondered what it was going to be like for the two to tell their children they were married in a union hall by a justice of the peace. The couple, according to a troop er and several srikers, had wanted to get married on the picket line, but State Highway Patrolmen had stopped them from doing so, as the large crowd would have block ed traffic. Immediately after the wedding was over a car-load of women stopped and chatted with the troop er who had the movie camena. Another car-load of teen-age girls raced by shouting "Give us a tick et." The strikers taunted the pa trolmen, but at the same time seemed cautious and aloof. The union halls, one in North and one in South Henderson, are built of concrete blocks. Both are painted white, with "TWUA" em blazoned in large red letters on the front in addition to the num of the local. The North Henderson union hall, local 584, is a single story build ing. South Henderson's union build ing is a two-story affair nestled in a little valley in the heart of the mill area. It is only a short distance from he mill. Two large plate glass "picture" windows are on each side of the door. Upon entering the front of the building, one sees a long counter used each Tuesday to distribute about $2,100 worth of food. Stack ed in front of the counter are about 260 boxes. These boxes con tain eggs, coffee, beans, peaches, macaroni, corn beef stew, syrup, j canned milk, lard, soap powder and other things. The opposite wall is lined with hundreds of bags of potatoes. The union is also furnishing the strikers with meat, flour and other staples.. To the right, as one enters the room, is an old, cany, Drosen down blue couch. Farther along the right side of the room is a large table. On this table are scattered various papers, bulletins and a box of union songs, mimeo graphed on pink, green and yellow sheets of paper. A telephone is also on the table. Over the telephone on a bulletin board, is a handwritten note: "No threats over the telephone, please." The "boss" of 578 is a grizzled old man, about 50. Part of his teeth are gone, he wears a dark blue cap, his shirt sleeves are rolled up, showing his stocky wrists. He needs a shave. He is known to young and old alike as "Johnny." He is in charge of the distribu tion of food to the strikers. Each striker has a card that is stamped each time he received food. If someone should need additional food during the week, he may ob tain it from his union hall. He talked rather softly of fol lowing some strike-breakers, who from Virginia, and warning them not to come back to work in Hen derson. But, he said, they came back anyway. Some of the strike-breakers drive from Virginia to Henderson and back Monday through Friday a total of about 1,000 miles a week. Other strike-breakers come to work at Henderson from within North Carolina. Prior to a union meeting, which was closed to the public, the peo ple sang songs in the upstairs room, where the meeting was held. The head of local 578, Charles Ranes, said he had no objections to anyone taking pictures after the meeting if the strikers con sented. Near the end of the meet ing, as the sergeant-at-arms said later, Ranes asked the group if U.N.

Later, a mopolitan Club will entertain the photographer from the Dave Gar roway Show made some movies of the group and of the union build ing itself. About 125 unionists attended the meeting. Among them were two or three Negroes. The Negroes stood, along with about 25 or 30 white men, near the back of the room. They smiled and joked with the other strikers around them. delegates at a tea at Graham Me morial from 3 to 6 this afternoon.
