Sparta Pipes, Inc. » - — TEL. 15 — SPARTA, N. C. . . ; . jJ MR PHILIP MURRAY, PRESIDENT, CONGRESS OF INDUSTRIAL ORGANIZATIONS, 1500 COMMONWEALTH BUILDING, PITTSBURGH 22, PENNSYLVANIA. Dear Mr. Murray: I am writing you because of the critical situation , which faces Ford Motqr Company today. We are threat ened with a general strike next Monday which we are sure could be avoided by the use of patience and reason. We believe in collective bargaining. We have, more over, scrupulously followed the practice of negotiating across the bargaining table. It is our conviction that no good purpose can be served by turning the bargaining table into a public forum. We find now, however, that we are no longer bar gaining with the representatives of our employees. The negotiations have become a marionette show, with hands far distant from the bargaining table pulling the strings. For this reason we feel we have no choice but to bring to your immediate attention a proposal which we have made to the Ford.UAW-CIO, and one which the Union claims it is powerless to consider. The Union is asking us to include in our new ag reement a provision which would in efTftct nullify cer - tain provisions of the Taft-Hartley law. This we can not agree to do. We respect and obey the laws of the lnrwl and cannot be party to placing Unions above the law. On the other hand, we are aware that irresponsible factions in Ford UAW-CIO could inspire incidents over which the Union leadership might have little or no con trol, and that the Union might in consequence suffer financial penalty for an act it could not prevent. To eliminate this possibility, we have suggested a contract provision which would leave no question as to our good faith under such circumstances. We have, to be specific, proposed that the Company will agree not to institute suit against the Union for damages arising out of illegal strikes under the following “good faith” conditions: L If the Union has not inspired or authorized . such an illegal strike, and 2. If the Union will agree promptly to denounce: publicly such an illegal strike, and 3. If the Union and its responsible officers and agents will agree to use prompt and honest effort to prevent or end any such illegal strike, and 4. If the Impartial Umpire, who, by agreement with the Union, decides other points of dif n ference arising out of our contract and who has always had the complete confidence of both the Union and the Company, can be the final judge as to whether the Union has taken these t reasonable steps in regard to illegal strikes. In short, this provision merely asks that the leader shin of the Union pet in good faith and with reasonable diligence to avoid illegal strikes or the threat of such strikes. In turn, we are pledging the good faith of ford Motor Company not to claim damages if, in the opinion of the Impartial Umpire, the Union meets these, reason able conditions. Finally, I would like to point out that tlie strike which is threatened against this Company would not really be a strike against Ford Motor Company at all. It would be a strike against the Government and the laws of the land. In this connection, may we say that we sharply question the wisdom of a strike or a threat to strike under these circumstances. Our customers, our em ployees, our management—none of whom is at fault— will suddenly suffer loss of cars and trucks, wage, and ' ply because Ford Motor Company has been lie guinea pig in an effort by UAW-CIO to veto those parts of a Federal statute which it does to like. In our opinion, it is things like this _ _e people to lose confidence in labor leader ship, which we will both h*ve cause to regret. We do not want a strike. We believe our employ it a strike. To avert a strike we have we are sure you will find fair Ford UAW-CIO to act in i The Everyday . Counselor Bev. Herbert Spaugh, D. D. ^ a" i 1 i ii. .1-.in".-tr-sss To marry or not to marry is the question seriously confront ing many young couples today. The case for early marriage is well presented in the August issue of Better Homes And Gar dens by Howard Whitman. He ways, “Eager for normal family life, millions of young Americans are being forced to choose bet tween promiscuity and repres sion. Economic barriers to an early marriage recognized by any marriage counselor, postpone early marriage. These barriers pose two problems, physical re pression with the mpch more difficult adjustment of a later marriage, or premarital relations which leave them with a sense of guilt that they cannot escape. Those who marry in the late twenties or early thirties after a long engagement carry into married life repressions which are difficult to overcome. They have also learned to adjust them selves to single life, have formed habits, which make it difficult for them to give and take. If they have engaged in pre marital relations and then marry, they’ve hung a millstone about the marriage which is difficult to carry. Many will be tempted to think that Bill married her be cause he thought he ought to do it, while'Bill will think that if she yielded to him, she .would have done it to another man. I’ve had both cases in my mar riage counselling experience. It is difficult for a man to forgive his wife for yielding to him be fore marirage, even though he I urged her to do it. It puts a ques tion mark in his mind. I’ve long been convinced that : early marriage is the answer to ! this problem. If it is not done too early, these young couples adjust themselves more easily if the conomic burden is not too heavy. Unfortunately, too many young couples want to start out econ omically at the point their parents reached after twenty years. Recently I was in the home of a young couple which was taste fully furnished with simple ar ticles, many of wjiich they had ' made themselves. They pointed to improvised and bargain pieces of furniture with great pride. It was theirs and no debt hanging over it They did all the work, and had a good time at it. There was a charming little boy who was natural, happy and unspoiled. There are many such couples like this. Some are receiving some temporary help from their parents. This procedure is sound, If the young couple does not learn to depend upon it and if they continue their joint efforts to wards full self support. Many are doing this, finding happiness, and establishing homes which will keep this country great. But the most important factor in the settling of this problem is spiritual unity, establishing a God-centered home. When they learn to work together, play tor gether, and pray together, there’s success ahead. After The Election Well, the election is over And it all went well. ’ There are not as many bad folks As they all did tell. The “Wets” couldn’t buy enough votes For the ABC Store in town. They tried hard enough But there were good folks around. They offered six dollars a vote, Which was very high. But we all can’t say That the “Wets” didn’t try. They said it would lower taxes Alleghany would do well. But they didn’t care about Sending our children to Hell. They said the church members Would let the preachers down. They would run it over them And hav£ a liquor store in town. But we thank God for the few Good folks in Sparta town. Who didn’t vote for the store And let our boys and girls down. “Woe unto him who puts the Cup to his neighbor’s lip." Fou better listen folks Don’t let his work slip. rhey said Alleghany was sunk, [f the store they didn’t get. Wonder what it would be [f it had gone wet. rhe Preachers and church mem bers, Surely knew they did wrong. When they voted for liquor, rheir religion wasn’t strong. The wrecks on the highways And in the homes as well. That liquor did cause Has sent many to Hell. The Lord is coming back to earth His blessed word did say. So you better do better folks. And go home iyith him to stay. Written by Viola Williams,’ • Peden, N. C. ents, Mr. and Mrs. W. E. Joines. Mrs. Combs is slowly improving from a recent illness.

An derson Who departed this life one year May 27, 1946. Oh, the memory of that evening As I stood with aching heart. To see the one I love so dearly Must from us forever part. One year has passed Since our great sorrows fell. The shock I received that day I still remember well. Our life has never been the same Our home is lonely still. I sometimes cannot understand Why such, should be God’s will. To your grave mother, I sadly wander Flowers to place with loving care And I feel that you are near us As I sadly linger here. Till memory fades and life de parts You’ll live forever in our hearts. God is the only one who knows Our loneliness and our loss. Without you, dear mother Our days are so lonely and, Can never be the same, Sweet but sad and precious Memories, cling to your dear name. There’s grief that finds no com fort. There are wounds that do not heal The sorrow buried in our hearts Is to deep to be revealed. Surrounded by friends, we are lonely, i In the midst of pleasure, we’re blue. The smiles on our faces are heart aches.' Always thinking mother of you. Her son and daughter Mrs. Bessie Crouse and Ray Anderson Martinsville, Va.
