AFL Schedules
Me Meetings
For Two D,?ys
jjl The United Textile Work
ers of America, AFL, has
scheduled AFL election Co
mmittee meetings for 1:30
P. M. and 7:30 P. M. on
Tuesday and Thursday in its
drive to win bargaining
rights in the election to be
held &t the Erwin Mills on
Friday.
Delegations of Erwin workers
<c- from Durham and Cqoleemee, where
the UTWA-AFL won landslide vic
tories in the National Labor Rela
tions Board elections on October
Ist were invited to attend the two
meetings. Scheduled to talk were
UTWA-AFL Southern Director
Joseph Jacobs. Harold Foster and
Benny Fagler of Cooleemee, and
Edgar Maynard and Albert Pierce
of Durham.
It was reported that the ‘AFL
_ Victory Committee of 50” had been
enlarged to an “AFL Victory ’Com
mittee of 100” in order to enable
ac ive Erwin workers who were
volunteering, to participate in the
AFL campaign.
TO SWITCH VOTE
Local 250, UTWA-AFL Business
agent Thomas West said: “Every
day dozens of Erwin workers tell
us or come by the UTW-AFL of
fice to let us know that they voted
either CIO or “No-Union” in the
October Ist election, but are going
3? to vote AFL on the 17th, so that
all Erwin workers will be in the
same Union-the AFL.”
Edgar Maynard, UTWA-AFL
leader from the Erwin-Durham
plant said: “With the signing of
our UTWA-AFL cbntract at Dur
ham and Cooleemee, we are now
busy processing the grievances that
the CIO left kicking around and
that we couldn’t get settled because
of CIO interference. The other
Erwin workers are waiting for the
V AFL victory in Erwin on the 17th
so that Negotiating Committees
from these three Erwin locals can
begin working on plans for a new
and improved Union contract.”

IT’S NOT SAFE TO BET
ON ELECTION THIS YEAR
This is not a good year to bet on
A the presidential election. Even if
we had the noney, we wouldn’t
think about even a small wager.
This is not just an opinion, either.
It’s an authoratlve statement and
the authority is none other than
our good friend, Dewey Whitten
ton.
Dewey out-galloped the Gallop
poll and everybody else four years
ago. When everybody around here
was predicting Truman would be
defeated Dewey kept reminding
them that Truman would win.
He has been just as successful
at predicting other elections.
We got to thinking about the
election the other day and decided
we might wager up to 50 cents on
the election, provided we could
get a good hot tip from Dewey.
“I’m sitting right on top of the
fence this time,” declared the pro
minent Dunn Democrat. “I’d be

it first came up for discussion, told
the group of his sentiments. “Os

Scott Hoyman, representative for the Textile Workers

“One day after the UTW-AFL
took over increased workloads have

he said.

Guest Speaker At
Church In Erwii
The program of Christian
education is concerned with
turning the thoughts of the
students upward toward the
more important things of
life, the spiritual values and
a concent of God. Dean A.
R. Burkot of Campbell Col
lege told the members of
the Men’s Fellowship Club
at St. Stephen’s Episcopal
Church in Erwin Monday
night.
“This is a cause I believe in,”
Dean Burkot declared, "and this
need is not being adequately met
by the state institutions.” Eighteen
years in Buie's Creek, he said, had
given him an excellent opportunity
to observe this county in relation
to the rest of the state.
“The primary function of the
Junior College is regional,” he said,
"and we axe trying to serve our
orbit to tfie best of our ability.”
Campbell, he pointed out, is part
ly supported by the Baptist de
nomination. Os the last year edu
cational budget $380,000, Campbell
i received $40,000. There are seven
j denominational colleges under Bap
tist subsidy, he stated.
Methodist colleges function under
the eastern and western confer
ences and the Presbyterian colleges
function under the various synods
of that curch. Belmont Abbey is
under the Catholic Church.
The present day trend is toward
municipal colleges, he declared, and
we now have three in the state,
at Asheville, Charlotte and Wil
mington. He predicted that with
in a few years there would be a
dozen ih the state.

Burlington Plant
John Harden of Greensboro, vice president of Burling
ton Mills, told The Daily Record this morning that con
struction of the company’s proposed new $8,000,000 plant
at Lillington will be started “iust as soon as business con
ditions warrant.”
“The thing, that’s hold’Jig up
Burlington Mills Lillington plant,"
said Mr. Harden, “is the genuine
depression which has swept the
textile industry for the past two
years.”
NO POSSIBILITY NOW
“There is no possibility of ex
pansion at this time," declared Mr.
Harden.
“But.” he added, "business is
looking better at the moment and
the textile picture has brightened
up a little bit.”
Burlington Mills acquired a beau
tiful site for a proposed new plant
two years ago and had adopted to
have the plant in operation by this
time, but a depression developed ii.
the industry, which affected Bur
lington and all other textile com
panies.
Mr. Harden said it, is the plan
of his company to begin construc
tion of the plant at Lillington just
as soon as the need arises for fur
ther expansion.

Harris, appearing as the first
