THE NEWS-HERALD MORGANTON, N. C., JULY - 15TH 1920 THh NEWS-HERaLD. MORGANTON, N. C. Published Every Thursday MISS BEATRICE COBB, Editor and Owner. . ' . Entered at the postoffice at Morgan ton, N. C, as second-class mail matter TERMS OF SUBSCRIPTION: One Year ?2-00 Six Months i-00 Three Months 50 CASH IN ADVANCE MIAN'S RIGHT TO WORK. Governor Bickett' told the' striking cotton mill operatives at Landis the other day that their strike wr.s unjusti fied and laid down to them the princi ple of the inalienable right1 of man to work, free from annoyance or mo lestation of any kind. He said in part: "Every man in North Carolina has a right to work unmolested if he wants to, or ,to quit work if he wants to and without the molestation of any living man. Every employer has the right to hire whom he wants to hire, and fire' whom he wants to fire, and nobody has the right, to molest him You cannot force a man to work against his will, and you cannot force a man to idleness against his 'Will. " "There are many corporations in North Carolina that say with their lips that a man has the right to be long to a union and deny it in their hearts. There are many members of unions in NorSh Carolina who say that a man has the right not to be long" to a union 4f he so wishes, but in their hearts they deny it. No em ployer has a right to discriminate a man because he belongs to a union, and no union man has the right to discriminate against a man because he refuses to belong to a union. .. . : - "If a man wants to work, he has the right tck work without being mo lested, without being jeered at, hissed at and bedeviled by anybody. If a man wants to be idle, he may do so. without explaining to anybody but his wife. - A man's right to work is. as inalienable as his right to worship for God Almighty said that 'six 'days shall thou labor.' Suppose that when yonder church opens its doors tomor row members of other churches would form lines and hiss and bedevil and harass its members as they went to worship, would they stand it? "The constitution of this State gives every man the right to worship as he. chooses, to work as he chooses, and that without molestation from any source. As Governor of this commonwealth, I will use to the ut most the powers conferred upon me to enforce and protect that right. The United States courts have held that it is the right of any man to work without intimidation, without hindrance, or coercion or abuse, or assault, either verbal or physical, and I am going to enforce that law." THE MORGANTON TOWNSHIP LINK. The announcement appearing ' in the news columns of this issue that the contract has been let for the Morganton township link of the Cen tral Highway will be received with much gratification by the people of Morganton and Burice county. Mor ganton merchants have long since re alized that it has been a great detri ment to them in a business way that this part of the highway has waited so long and the actual building of the road cannot be accomplished any too soon to suit all of us. Even though it is understood that the work will be begun at once it will probably take several months to complete it, as the contract price in dicates that it will be a big job. It is a settled fact that we have lost the opportunity of having it for this year's summer travel. Two concrete bridges reprpsen a big part of; the work and we know from" experience that the building of bridges , takes time. We must still exercise some of th.i patience we have shown, prob ably to our own hurt, for some time past. Let us hope that the excellence of the completed road will compen sate us in a way for the long waiting. FIRFMEN TO THE CONVENTION Thi, State Firemen's Convention mc3, ;n Fayetteville in August, at which time teams from the various towns over the State will participate in the contests that' will be arranged. One of the local firemen was asked if Morganton would be represented, and he replied that though he ' thought that probably several of the boy's would go he was doubtful that there would be a full team, eight. Since no arrangement has been made, those who go will do so at their own ex pense. The firemen of Morganton have not asked it and of course all of them could not go, but it has occurred to The News-Herald that some arrange ment might possibly be made": by which the expenses of the eight who would compose the team and repre sent the town in the tournament might be paid, in part at least. It would be an encouragement to the company and an expression of appre ciation of the service they give prac tically without compensation. If some kind of benefit entertainment could not be arranged we feel sure that a subscription list for this pur pose 'would meet with hearty response.

HfMIHR ATTftV HOTTING BACK TO FORMER PACE .--All weekly immigration records at Ellis island since the war were brok en last week. It was announced that 13,161-aliens had been inspected, in cluding 11,161 steerage passengers. From. 00 to l,0Qjr foreigners still await inspection. c.r Nearly all ships ' landing immi grants during the week brought a larger percentage of men than of wo men and children. The ' steamship Mexico brought only 14 women out of 666 steerage passengers. , -The; men on the Mexico all came from Portugal, routed to New ... Bedford, other Massachusetts points arid Cal ifornia. "We have had no such immigration rush as this since the summer just preceding the outbreak of the Euro pean war," Superintendent Baker said. "Of course, in the pre-war days it was nothing to talk about when we had 13,000 or 15,000 a week." SCARCITY OF CARS IN THE' SOUTH SERIOUS Railroad car shortage as described as particularly serious in the South by witnesses who appeared at a hear ing of the interstate commerce com mission in' Washington on the order requiring railroads to give prefer ence to coal mines in the assignment of open top cars. Supporting the claims of southeren witnesses, representatives of more than a score of steel manufacturers informed the commission that'a shut down of the steel industry was immi nent unless better car service was af forded. Belief that any general sus pension of industry would be averted, however, was expressed by Daniel Willard,' chairman of the advisory committee of the association of rail way executives. DEATH GOOD COLORED WOMAN Another . of the good colored wp rheh' of the town has gone when death claimed !'Aunt" Clara , Fleming last Thursday. N For more than sixteen years she cpoked atNBrbadoaks and was trustworthy and,vfaithful. By economy she; had accumulated some property and friends - of both races held "Aunt" Clara f jn , high esteem. The funeral at Willow Grove church yard on Friday, was conducted by Rev. J. A. Holt, of Morganton. v i j !

If the Democracy can hold the solid South intact which few are inclined to doubt, annex New York and Ohio and pick up nineteen additional votes, it will elect the next pres ident. Pittsburgh Sun' (Dem.) Among the great constructive works of Ohio's governor are an efficient budget system, a mod el workman's compensation act, and a series of progressive laws that have given his State one of v the most complete and satisfac tory labor codes in the Union. Hartford Times (Dem.) Cox's record for progressive legislation meets evkry test. He will win because the country ' wants the jox type of man for - its president and not the Hanna type.) He is the antithesis of re action. Bangor, Maine,- Commercial (Ind.) Governor Cox has insti tuted many wise laws and has been a power for law and order. He has been fair to labor and' capital. - Syracuse Herald (Ind.) It would be folly to deny that a presidential candidate who has three times carried the impor tant State of Ohio possesses marked' elements of strength. Cox's record is not seriously vulnerable. Nashville Tennesseean (Dem) The naming of Cox places the Democratic party, in the pecu liar position -of being able to ca ter, to all elements in American life. ,Cox will appeal to those men. who have long been tired of political fads. yCox is possibly the most business like man ever nominated . by the Democratic party. 1 New Haven Union (Dem.) It must be admitted that a Dem ocrat who can thrice be elected Ohio's governor against admit tedly strong opponents is a man who has a great deal to com mend him -to all voters. The nomination ' also is a complete answer to the Republican charge that the San Francisco convention was Wilson owned and controlled. New Orleans Times-Picayune (Dem.) The Democratic con vention in our judgment has se lected the strongest candidate practically available. The con vention was unusually deliber ate in its choice. It is to be con gratulated upon the result of its long deliberations. Philadelphia Record, (Dem.) As a good deal has been said about the governor's attitude to ward prohibition, it is interest ing to recall that he was beaten by the saloon' interests in 1914 because he enforced the Sunday closing law. He procured the law and enforced t and lost the election, but his party nominat ed him again and he was elected I I! fi HiHiHiHiHiHiHiHiH r
