ORGANIZED LABOR WILL EMERGE FROM DEPRESSION ERA STRONGER THAN EVER, DECLARES LAWRENCE --5— Organized labor will emerge from the present period of depression in in finitely better position than ever be fore in the history of the United States, declared R. R. Lawrence, presi dent of the North Carolina State Fed eration of Labor, in a recent state ment. Mr. Lawrence said *^<11 spite of hard times, unemployment, and a drive on the part of employers to force wages downward, organized labor is steadily and consistently growing in membership and determination in this state. New locals are being developed in all parts of North Carolina, he said. The depression has served to prove to working people that their only hope in the future lies in organization and in collective action to remedy inequal ities in the economic and social sys tem. The head of Communism is being raised in the state, President Lawrence said, especially in the mill sections, where privation and actual hunger are increasingly prevalent. The coming winter will provide fertile grounds for the activities of radicals, the labor leader said, since hungry and desperate people are apt to turn to those who hold out promises of Utopia through a new governmental system. The teachers of North Carolina have been special victims of the drive against workers’ wages, President Law rence said. Teachers’ salaries have beef in hundreds of cases, reduced fifty per cent. This procedure, Mr. Lawrence as serted, was unwarranted and utterly _ L1_ L *__* J um Lacuna~“ —— the teachers were hopelessly unorgan ized and helpless to combat the de structive wage reduction drive that has been imposed upon them. Organization work is progressing in all locals. The automobile drivers es pecially are active and signing up new members. LABOR NEWS -? By F. T. CORNELIUS, Secretary Salisbury-Spencer Central Labor Union $36,697,979 BENEFITS PAID BY TRADE UNIONS Over thirty-six million dollars were paid in benefits by the standard na tional and international Trade Unions of the United States and Canada in 1930, according to the report of the Executive Council of the American Federation of Labor to the annual convention of the Federation.

The services were held inside the church, the women standing on one side of the little building and the men on the other. More than a score of ministers and several hundred persons from this community and other moun tain settlements took part. The footwashing practice dates back to the founding of the first Baptist church in Kentucky, about 1781. It first was conducted by John Taylor in the church he founded late in the eighteenth century.

RE-ELECT GREEN LABOR PRESIDENT -5 Vancouver.—William Green was re-elected president of the American Federation of Labor at the annual convention here. He was unopposed and his election was by acclamation. The American Federation of Labor reaffirmed its stand for legalization of 2.75 per cent beer. "Dugout Dope” (This column published weekly in the interest of the Ex-service men of Rowan County). -5 There is much that would interest the ex-service men of the county, to be told, but, as most of it is for fu ture consummation the top kick wants to keep it on ice. Most unfair I calls it, instead of having a nice little col umn all written and ready to insert, the Lance Jack actually has to write one of these things. And like the guy whose night it was to get on his week ly drunk, gosh how I dread it. Didjerever try to write one of these thingumabobs? Well it’s like this, you grab a typewriter, or a pencil, and roll up your sleeves, dash madly into the dern thing with a positive conviction that in about steen seconds it will be did. Three words, two of which are misspelled, and then you roll up your eyes, which has the same effect as rolling up your sleeves in the first place, after that you chew the end of the pencil, fiddle with the doodads on the typewriter, roll your eyes to the northeast, scratch vour head and stick out your tongue, light a cigarette, scratch the other side of your head, roll your eyes to the sou’ sou’-west by west, and the sum total you have written sounds like that goofy stuff moon misted sampan rowers gargle when they are in love. Yes sir, this writing game is s’awful. The membership committee reports almost three quarters of the total 1931 strength have been signed up for 1932. Come on in, Buddy, the water is fine, the rest of the gang have jined the army, why not you? Your member ship is worth just as much as the oth er fellow’s, your comradeship is just as much desired as the other fellows, so get on the band wagon now. Pay those 1932 dues and let’s fall in for some real honest to goodness war time work. If you think there isn’t as great a battle to fight now as ever was fought on the Marne or the Aisne, you are sadly mistaken. There are some battles facing the ex-service body to day that will make the Argonne the St. Mihiel and Ypres look like a game of tag at a girls’ boarding school of the gay nineties. How about those helpless, starving children that our buddies have been so thoughtless as to die and leave? How about those wo men that long years of tears, fears and anxiety, plus lack of food, have made unable to longer fight the grim battle now that^the man they cried over and sighed Over has gone West? How abovft those countless men who were once strong like you and I, but »rl\rv evrvnr cl/nlnfAnC shadows that flit here and there for awhile then flicker out, shadows still, to join that host of shadows that gath er in the Vallhalla of warriors? They call you Buddy. We call you Buddy, what do you call us? Don’t you con sider their battle worth the fighting? Or do you mentally, and vocally con sign all such matters to that vague destination that you so freely request ed your wartime comrades to visit? Yes you are concerned, you have got a battle to fight, either with the rest of us in and of the Legion, or with yourself. Take it from me it is much easier to fight side by side with your wartime comrades, much easier to win a satisfactory battle with them, than it is to fight and be satisfied with the battle you wage with self.

G. Wells came to the United States for a month’s visit. He brought with him a six-point eco nomic plan he thinks would solve the world’s ills, but which he said he has no hope of anyone adopting. The British author outlined, be tween gloomy prophecies of war, cha os and revolution, his own six point program, which calls for: 1. Solution of governmental and economic problems by experts instead of politicians. 2. Treating such problems in a sci entific manner. 3. Wholesale redistribution of wealth and incomes. 4. Control of speculation. 5. World control of currency. 6. Disarmament. _€_ •J We judge others by what is in our selves. State of North Carolina, In the Superior Court. County of Rowan. Mary B.
