Labor Day Message
By Frank Crane, Commissioner of Labor
Labor Day,, the first Monday in September, is
dedicated to the social and economic achievements
of American workers and to the role which labor
plays in the life of the nation. In the words of
Pete ikcGuire, who originated the idea back in
1882 it is a.n occasion devoted to “the industrial
spirit—the great vital force of every nation.”
I am proud to join in this observance and to
pay well-earned tribute to the working men and
women of North Carolina on this Labor Day.
With their talents and toil, the 1.600,000 Tar
Heels who labor in all the various occupations
are the backbone, sinews and life-blood of our
state: the priceless and irreplacable human re
source. , . , . .
Nearly half a million of us labor in factories.
Around 650.000 are employed in trade, construc
tion government, service industries and the pro
fessions. Another 450.000 work oh the farm.
North Carolina has been on the move during
tl# year and has chalked up an impressive
. slate of accomplishments. In the field of labor-
Hnanagemertt relations— notwithstanding the long,
bitter textile mill strike at Henderson—we set
several recoVds. The total number of strikes in
the state, and the number of workers involved in
them, were the lowest on record. Never before
has North Carolina had so small a part of the
nation’s strike losses. Time lost from production
amounted to only one-tenth of one per cent of
the national total.
Besides maintaining our high ranking on the
side of industrial peace, we continued at a slow
but sure pace’ to make outstanding social and
economic gains. We moved up from 46th to 45th
place among the 50 states in- per capita income.
The state’s income increased slOl per person last
vear to an average of $1,485 for each citizen.
The General AssfKWy Ifflr'yfeT' enacted the
North Carolina minimum wage law, which ha's
now been in effect for eight months. We esti
mate that this statute has added up to $25,000,000
a year to the purchasing power of low-wage
workers throughout the state.
Our industries continue to grow and to diver
sity. Employment in electronics has increased
from 18.000 to 25.000 in the last four years.
Jobs in the manufacture of fabricated metals
Umvp more than tripled in the decade just past,
expanding from 2.400 to 7.600. The machinery
industry has doubled in size, with jobs rising
from 5.000 ten years ago to more than 10,000 now.
Ftood processing industries, meat packing and
cabining are expanding rapidly. Plastics and syn
thetics manufacturing are opening new avenues
of' employment. Magnificent research facilities
are in the making. The state’s entire industrial
economy continues on its road of long-term ex
pansion. Factory employment has grown by an
average of more than 10,000 new jobs each yeai
fori the past ten years. Total non-farm employ
ment has tlimbed at a rate of 28,000 per year.
North Carolina labor has contributed richly to
this! progress and to such prosperity as we have
achieved. But the best interests of labor and
the!.state demand that we stop nowhere to rest
upop our laurels or imagine that we have scaled
a pinnacle of achievement.
V e can best serve the future of the state by re
mer ibering at all times where we presently stand
and what a long way we have to go before we
will be able to meet even national-average
stan lards in wages, per capita income, education,
heal ;h and the other yardsticks of general wel
fare
Kelieve in the future of North Carolina and
je mighty role which labor is destined to
in turning our state into the Garden of the
Sou h. With vigorous faith and intelligent lead
ersii p. the working men and women of North
Can lina will be more than equal to the chal
len{ is of the future.
A your Commissioner of Labor, I am happy
to xtend to each and every North Carolina
wor :ef my appreciation, respect and honor on
this Labor Day.

As the resultof a paragraph in this column
last week, Mayor John Mitchener got an
other free meal at the hands of the Allred
brothers. The Rev. Hoyle Allred of Albe
marle last week was preaching at a revival
meeting at the Rocky Hock Church, of which
the Rev. Thurman Allred is pastor. Both the
Allreds read the paragraph to the effect that
Mayor Mitchener was invited to attend the
revival, but that no meals would be served.
They came in town to see the Mayor and
told him they have come to his rescue and
invited him to have dinner at the Rodney
Harrell cottage, where the Allreds were liv
ing during the week’s revival. The Mayor
arrived whf-n all the others had about fin
ished, but he said there was enough food left
to feed him for a year. Anyway he got a
meal and attended a meeting in order to get
some spiritual food as dessert. And speak
ing about eating, the Rev. Hoyle Allred was
told by his doctor before coining to this neck
of-the woods that the ladies surely put out a
lot of good food and that he should be care
ful how much he eats. “What would you
do in a case like that?” Mr. Allred asked
Mayor Mitchener. The Mayor promptly re
plied, “I think I’d change doctors.” Then
while talking to the two Allred brothers the
Mayor asked this question. “How is it that
one of you wears a hat and the other goes
bare-headed?” Hoyle said. “Well, my brother
doesn’t have any hair, so that's why he wears
a. hat.” But then Thurman had his say and
said, “Well, Hoyle don’t wear a hat because
he doesn't have enough money to buy one.”
Well, both are pretty good reasons.

Quite a few Edenton football fans went to
Norfolk Saturday night to see the Washing
ton Red Skins and Philadelphia Eagles play
an exhibition game on Foreman Field. There
was some good playing and it can be said
some very sorry playing, too. Anyway, give
me a game on Hicks Field for two or three
professional games. And incidentally, any
one buying gasoline in Norfolk should be
sure to read the “fine print” on signs. Some
in the group of which I was a part were very
much surprised to see signs advertising regu
lar gasoline at 19.9 cents per gallon and high
test gasoline at 23.9. But where the rub
comes is that in very small print appeared
’’Plus 11 cents tax.” Then while at the foot
ball game the announcer at one point made
this remark: “Small Coca-Colas are 10 cents
and targe Coca-Colas are 20 cents. Peanuts
(a small hand full) are 10 cents per bag.
This announcement is made so that nobody
is over-charged.” What the heck did he
mean—over-charged r
o
Mrs. John Ross in a week or so will have
no leg to stand on if she makes a miscue
with the music at the Methodist Church. She
will have a brand new and up-to-date pipe
organ to play, whereas heretofore, she had
to mess with a bunch of junk, so that it was
more or less of a miracle that she played as
well as she did. Anyway, the new organ
will be a credit to the church and Mrs. Ross
can be depended upon to get good music out
of it.
o
Izzy Campen was on the safe side at the
Rotary meeting last week. Any Rotarians
who are not at the meeting when the bell
sounds is fined 10 cents. Well, Izzy had to
do some work on the bell and brought it to
the meeting, so that no one could bang on
it until Izzy arrived. He saved himself a
dime, for he turned up a little bit late.

The- football season is scheduled to open
Friday night on Hicks Field when the Aces
tangle with the Camden Rebels. The boys
have been practicing hard and should be in
good shape to put up a good game. The
band, cheerleaders and majorettes have also
been getting ready for the gridiron season
and they, too, will be on hand to help make
it interesting for the fans. Anyway, what in
the dickens is a football game without a
band and the cheerleaders? Let’s all turn
out for the opening game to give our support
to the whole works.
o
And speaking about the football games.
Nick George already told me I was chairman
all vehicle traffic laws. Riders drive with traf
fic, on the right-hand side of the road. They
must obey all stop, caution and warning signs
and give the pedestrian the right-of-way. Each
bike should include, as standard equipment,
lights, reflectors and warning devices as required
by local law, the Bicycle Institute of America
has pointed out.
As an additional safeguard, all bikes should
be inspected and repaired as necessary prior to
being used as for school transportation.
The inspection should cover lights and sig
nalling equipment, pedals and brakes, tires and
wheel alignment, seat post and steering assembly.
Police officials have pointed out that a well
maintained bike is a necessity if it is to be de
pendable as school transports ton, and emphasized
that cyclists who learn and observe the neces
sary traffic regulations almost invariably make
superior automobile drivers in aborteMban-aver

fmJk REPORTS
UMB§Friii,WISIIIHtTO
Washington The Senate Fi-j
nance Committee has approved
an amendment to the Social Se
curity Act embracing the pro
visions of a bill I introduced
which would increase the
amount of outside income a per
son receiving Social Security
benefits may earn without pen
alty.
Under the present law, a
person receiving Social S>t:iri
ty payments is allowed : n
only SIOO a month. v '.”f*o
a year, in outside mco ■, ■ vi , •
out being penalized.
Soon after 1 became : Ti
ber of the Senate 1 i >ced
legislation which would ease
to $l5O a month, or SI,BOO a
year, the amount of outside in
come a person receiving Social
Security benefits could earn
without penalty.
At the time 1 introduced the
bill 1 was surprised to learn
that there was considerable op
position to the proposal, r par
ticularly from the Eisenhower
Administration. On repeated oc
casions I contacted the members
of the Senate Finance Commit
tee about the matter because I
have always felt that it is un
fair to penalize those people
who receive Social Security
payments simply because they
wanted to continue active after
retirement.
A great many people are not
able to do full-time work after
they reach retirement age, but
many of them would like to do
part-time work in order to
make enough money above and
beyond their Social Security
payments to earn a decent liv
ing. No one has any desire
to become dependent on family

or friends after retirement, but
the present limitations make it
impossible for a person to make
enough outside income to fill
day-to-day needs without be
ing penalized.
Another amendment to the
Social Security law related to
my proposal also has been
adopted by the Senate Finance
Committee. It would lower the
retirement age of men to 62
with reduced benefits on a vol
untary basis. This means that
a man could retire at 62 if he
agreed to take proportionately
reduced benefits. By taking re
duced benefits, the earlier re
tirement age would not cost the
government or employers any
additional money.
Under the present law. men
must wait until they reach the
age of 65 to draw benefits. Wo
men may retire with reduced
benefits at the age of 62. The
amendment adopted by the
Committee would make the law
apply to men and women alike.
Both of these amendments
are sound and 1 hope they will
be enacted into law. Neither
would bring about any
al cost to the government or
employers, and both would add
much needed flexibility to the
law giving our senior citizens
the opportunity to live more
normal and productive lives.
Because they were added to
the Social Security bill by the
Senate Committee, the proposals
must still receive approval of
the House of Representatives.
There is no adequate defense,
except Stupidity, against the im
pact of a new idea.
