Tkc Charlotte Labor Journal aptly puts the question of labor upheavals when it cautions workers that "this is not a propitious time for strikes, when everyone is working to make the best of a bad condition which promises betterment." The Journal points specifically to the strike at High Point, N. C.. in which a number of men and wo men in several lines of work, were either striking as aggressors of a specific question or went out in sym pathy for their fellow workers. In the opinion of The Labor Journal, it will be time a-plenty for workers to plan strikes, or decide if such a thing is necessary after the codes governing different lines have become effective. Even then, The Labor Journal argues, if there is to be an argument between employers and em ployees it should not be gone about through "bootleg" labor organiza tions such as are trying to gain a foothold in the South at this time. For years, when general conditions began looking up there has been a cmcerted movement by "bootleg unions" to create dissent and strife among the employed ir. the South. Strike after strike has been resultant of people going into these fly-by night organizations that had no real backing and in many instances were purely a gainful setup for those who were the supposedly leaders of the working class. There is plenty of room in the South today for improvement in working conditions, generally speak ing, and it is to the interest of the laboring man to see that his rights are protected, but it is not a time to be led astray by every wind that blows, nor is it a time for listening to the beratings of those' who would "lift the poor downtrodden laboring class into the realms where they belong," as the average Communistic minded agitator would have it. Em ployers in every section are showing that they want to do the fair and iust thing, and in many instances more than the fair thing, when they follow the president's re-employment plan. Many, very probably the great er majority of employers have been giving their workers employment through the le,an months that have passed when in reality they would have been much better off had they closed the doors of their plants and boarded up the windows. Men have been enabled to keep the wolf away from their doors by the fact that they had been working for a com pany or business that looked upon them, not merely as another fellow who had no job, but as a man who was a friend and had a family to be supported that would starve were it not for the help they received from an employer who was losing money every month he operated. These are things that are not to be overlooked. And, too, just because there is to be a code adopted which calls for higher wages and less hours is no reason for the average worker to think business is booming and that prosperity has come down the chimney like Santa Claus. Many employers who have signed the vol untary NRA agreement are wonder ing today just where the money will come from within the next couple of months to meet the payroll, how they will manage to meet the conditions which they have or will within s short time agree to operate under. Concerns throughout the South want the program to go through, they want to pay their help more money, and give them Shorter working hours, and for the most part are willing and agree to do everything they possibly can to better working conditions, realizing that it means all. However, these same employer* have plenty to worry about without being pesked with red-minded labor organizers who are in reality "boot leggers" and are not true represen tatives of the laboring classes. It is net a time to go off half cocked, and especially is this true in the matter of "joining the union" that has any of the earmarks of communism. A car>d man for years, the editor of The Times, now employs union workers and has no quarrel to pick with organized labor. We see no reason for the laboring man not hav ing are organization that will look . after his interests, secure a square deal for him, see that he is treated fairly, but we see a lot of people in j the middle of a bad fix if they begin listening to the rosy stories that the | average agitator can spiel at this [ time. Like The Labor Journal, we think the present is a fine time for both workmen and business men to attend strictly to their own affairs, push and pull together, and pray, not squabble. I M\EDICINE show IS FINE THING Brevard was treated to an extra-, ordinary fine thing last week when "Big Chief Ben" deigned to come to the town and provide entertainment for a whole week at no cost whatever to the town, and sell those wonder ful remedies that are most certain t0 cure all the aches, pains and ills of the people of the community. ! There ought to be provisions made for keeping something like ' Big Chief Ben's" outfit in Brevard ail the time, so that high class enter tainment could be provided with no ccst, and folks ?ould buy a decent sort of medicine, which when taken for billiousness would also cure t e side pleurisy, tuberculosis and in growing toenails. Drug stores in Brevard have too long preyed on the suspecting peo ple of this county. They have robbed and ruined, killed and maimed per son after person by selling stut that a "big chief" would absolutely refuse to handle. Doctors of the county have cheated, lied and over charged the people here unt-.l it is a shame that, we couldn't keep a 'big chief" here the year round to minis ter to the medical needs of the peo ple, give decent diagnosis of case? and prescribe for them intelligently. This thing of paying a doctor making calls is ail the bosh, and aside from being foolish is an outrageous thing to be permitted in a community like Brevard, when there could be a "big chief" in the community if we were so minded. Then too, if we could have a "big ' chief" here all the time, a fellow could buy these nice little boxes of candy for a dime that contain so much delicious eating. Of course, the "big chief" has to have a little pro fit "for handling candy, one couldn't expect a man to sell candy like was sold by the "big chief" here las. week unless he were getting eomc thing for his trouble, say eight or nine cents profit on the box, for with each box of candy that the "big chief" sold here last week, one might have gotten a blanket or other ap propriate prize. Of course there weren't so many blankets given here last week, 'cause it was the "big chief's" first week here, but it was lots of fun buying the ten-pent boxes and looking for the luck> < ou pons, anyway. It's a pity that all the business houses in Brevard could not be op erated like the "big chief" outfit got by last week. This is truly impressed upon us all right now, for delin quent tax list will be advertised in The Times next week, and oh, what a long list that will be. If folks iri Brevard who are in business had sense enough to operate like the ''big chief" business is carried on, lota of the fellows wouldn't have their names in the paper next week. Here again, there is something bad wrong with the town. Some of the fellows ! in Brevard who are in business pay a great big license fee each year just for the privilege of staying here, when, if they were intelligent like a "big chief" they could get by without paying anything at all. But no, they don't care to take advantage of an intelligent procedure like that, pnd in consequence, they haven't got | the wherewithal to pay license fees, street taxes sidewalk taxes, rail- j road taxes, school taxes, county taxes, j church fees ,etc. j People are progressing in Brevard ( ? witness the "big chief" outfit last | week. It used to be that a "big , chief" had to pay a license when he ( came to Brevard to put on his per- : formance, sell that good goey candy, tickets to win a blanket, and med- ( icine that would clean teeth, cure] spavin and clean out a drain pipe all i from the same bottle. But that is a | thing of the past now. A "big chief" j can locate here, soil candy, give away blankets, prescribe for ills and aches and not b5 pestered with things like a deficit in the budget. Fine, fine. - Another good thing that went with the "big chief" show was the fact that a lot of people didn't have to at tend the Masonic Orphanage enter tainment at the High school Tuesday light. If the "big chief" show had tot been here, in all probability those ittle old orphan children, who mean lothing to us, inasmuch as it's not our hard luck .that they have no | father and mother, would have prob ably drawn a full house, and carried off a iot of money. As it was they got about twenty dollars, charging admission, while the "big chi:f" put! on his show free, with a lot of real opera singers, New York stage comedians, and Hollywood perfor- j mers, cracking a lot of CLEAN , jokes, and incidentally selling big boxes of dclicious candy for a dime, to say nothing of a chance to get a blanket free. The "big chief" uidn't tell this newspaper fn as many word?, but we are led to believe that he i?> going about from town to town, giving peo ple a high class, first rate, enter taining show, selling them candy. that 'cost as much as a cent or more a box, and curing all ills just because he feels sorry for downtrodden and ' sick-ridden people. Of course he has ' J a little expense in running his "big ! chief" outfit but that comes from ' ! somewhere else, what little it t^kes? j | for he doesn't have to pay any coun I ty and town license like other folk' ! do, and he doesn't have a house and lot with attendant street and side walks, school, railroad, highway and ! water system taxes coming due ev j ery year. What a pity we couldn't have a ; "big chief" bunch here every week. ! All of which is to say that The j Transylvania Times is far from | pleased with, such an outfit bcinr) : permitted in the to-wn.

Siniard had to tell Mon day morning; when seen uptown. Tom was a well known pet crow, that "had plenty of sense and was a pet extraordinary." Some person, evidently not know ing the value of Tom, or with mali cious intent, passed by the Siniard home in North Brevard, and evident ly was a little tco quick with a rock, for Tom was found dead Sun day about church time, with tell tale bruises on his body. While Tom could not talk, as some pets are "supposed" to do, he could imitate a dog, and could boo boo when he was hungry or want 1 ed to attract attention. irOURWfADS Plaza Theatre ASHEVILLE r Monday and Tuesday, Aug. 7th - 8th AT 3r30 ? 7:30 and 9:30 IRVING LEWIS PRESENTS KIS a Revue of 1933" WITH A HOST OF PRETTY GIRLS ALSO FEATURE PICTURE ~ Comedy - NEWS tvift6mniutiL^]???miiHLUi>?iiiJ?i??ujiin'npii?iiLUiiH?nmwiit^ji EB Potatoes Com Produce See us before you sell your potatoes, corn and other farm products, you'll find our prices are right and our dealings absolutely on the square.
