A Visit to 1764 Just Lik< Going to Big Picnic D A vidit to Carpenters’ Local 1764 is jast |$ke going to a .picnic dinner vdhen cave is reaji hungry. It is th.e( most wide-awake local union in Charlotte, and is growing in mem bership more rapidly than Ford cars are being manufactured, compara tftrety speaking. The activity of the. membership is not confined to the union 4udl. Every Any, and on eveqy jbh, the members are talking; unionism, and this makes a fertile field for Business Agent Lyles to work in and harvest Applications.; There has not been a meeting of the (organization in four months at, which no new members weTe' initiat ed. # . There’s President Whitesides and J. W. Istridge, working together in the building game .and working just as laard in building the m^anization. There’s £L L. toung, for years a mainstay in Charlotte’s Jabor jmgye mentj always on hand, .boosting, $uuth-, ing, worldng, for the organization. There’s S. C. Boone who sings but one song, -and sings that song from weak end to week end, and the name of tbatsong is Organization. There’s —but what’s the use of trying ,to! name (them? There are fin* *oo| many to <caH all by their name*, and each and everyone of them ab» «m stantly on tite job for the organiza tion. Is it any wonder, then, that 1764 'is growing? And the beauty of the whole thing is that the carpenters are in nowise a trade union. Thai live union is a (labor union, and 17)64 is just as deegriy interested jin the other workers and other locals as they wrei in their own union. * i ONE DATS WAGE FOR IKE ORPHANS Thousands of men and women, boys and -gilts, mark the harvest season witti gifts for the fatherless and motherless and homeless child ren Sn our State. Our Thanksgiving season has long been notable for the outpouring of money to maintain the orphan hoirtes that serve our people— that serve them so worthily. Again we come, as the year draws to its close, not simlply to remind these givers .that another harvest, season is at hand, but hoping, also, to establish this beautiful custom with thousands of ethers who may not have realised the joys of having a worthy part in this commendable work. Men may debate as to the objects of .their charity; they will not debate the call of the helpless child. They may raise questions as to this or thaft institution; there is no debate concerning the blessed work that our institutions are doing for -orphaned children in North Carolina. To every human heart this appeal comes—the appeal of the homeless and. helpless child. • It has ben ever thus since the great heart of the lord and Mas ter rebuked those who would hinder the little ones from approaching His loving embrace. The, only possible debate is that touching the amount you will give to this worthy -Cause. The object of this message is to lay that before you, with this suggestion: The income' of one day would be reasonable. By all means let your contribution be of «uch proportion as to obtain the joy of feeling that you have done ; something worthy of your heart. It is sot the amount that measures the value of the .gift; it is the relation of the gift to the heart of the giver. Let conscience dietate, and joy will in evitably follow. A gift for the care and education of helpless children wiH rtieasube Ihe circumstance and also the depth of the heart of the donor himself—sot others. Do not suffer your better impulses to be belittled; nSk& no compromises-with your heart, lest you do yourself an injury, not in the eyes of others, but in your own estimation. Men grow from within, not from Kenny’s TEAS and COFFEES Enjoyed by thousands of people in and around Char lotte. Try them and you Will agree With us. KENNY’S 23 So. Tryon St. ■without. Men make themselves big or little by their thought and deeds. Taifee the fwM measure of ymn heart in responding to the call of the or phan child this yeiiar, and you will be glad; restrict tfiat measure and you will had no joy. It is hot what oth ers think, or say, or do, that counts. Hearken to the promptings of your, own heart! . The object of this appeal is quite enough in itself to enlist the sympa thy of a considerate public without an attempt to excite the emotions of anyone. Each one is asked to con sider the case for himself, remem bering always that “It is more bless ed to give than to receive.” What if your children should some day -become orphans? ALow woqkl you have others consider ; them in their misfortune? “To others do jus you would that they would do unto you.” The fatherless and mother less children are all around you. They will always be here, and ; if you do not see them it is because others have come and gathered them into one of the homes of the state. M, L. Shipman, Stacey W. Wade, J. WL Bailey, A. B.

PITTSBURGH, Pa* Nov. 12.—, Child labor has taken a big jump in the Pittsburgh district. In September there was a per cent increase in the number of child-, ren leaving school to work. Seven handled_jmd seventy-five certificates were issued to children under 16 years of age, permitting them to be come wage earners. In September a year ago only 488 such eerfcifkwtee were issued: * To date this year there have been about 2,000 employment certificates issued, against 1,582 for the entire year of 1922. Greedy employers, .who substitute^ child labor for the labor of adults, are held partly responsible for the gain in the number .of children en tering industry. S. S. HOME VISITAJlION BAY NOV.

LAWRENCE LABOR’ (NhM Organ for RedsandOne Rig Lfcion—Surprising Hand spring for ^oitatiMrnsB’. 'The Textile Bulletin, ©avid Olark’e; paper, has evidently Seined forces with the One Big Union, Russian Sovietism, and the Left Wing of the .Socialist party. Whether through irgonrance of the questions he was discussing and of the nature of the paper he was quoting and verifying, dr whether he, has joined the Reds outright is not known. Whatever' the motive, The Textile Bulletin has lain down with a peculiar bed-fellow, in quoting and agreeing with “Law rence Labor,” a paper published in; Lawrence, Mass., and is the recog-j nized and -official spokesman and mouthpiece for the Otoe $ig Union and .aU Russian Sovietism Sovietism' principles. “Lawrence Labor,” the paper Editor Clack is .guoling stands lor the complete elimination of our cap italistic Systran. It is committed to the destruction of capital in its every form, tl is the reddest of Bed Sour-; nals, and is recognized as an enemy of the worst kind to all American labor. Editor •Clark is taking a Song step when he switches from Char lotte to MJoscow with one Bwoop of ne pen, or typewriter, or whatever ! it is he uses in transferring to piaper the 'brilliant thoughts that must cause him to suffer agony with head ache and brain fatigue. Last spring, when this writer was in New England, this same paper, “Lawrence Labor,” was leading the fight for the One Big Union against the Boot and Shoe Workers Union.. President .Gatapers, -of the American Federation of Labor, was in Massa chusetts at the same time, lending his wonderful influence against the propaganda that was being published in “Lawrence Labor,” denouncing it as Bed Revolution, and as an effort to destroy both American capital and American labor, and THE AM'ERjtOCAN GOVERNMENT. Ifoit’p the kind of paper “Law rence Labor” is, and yet David dark, of Ghg^rtptte, says the editorial in that khfd of a Red Rag is so similar to his writings that hi& readers, with out doubt, think it a REGULAR EDI TORIAL TAKEN FROM THE TEX TILE BULLETIN. You Editor Clark published a tirade taken from Lawrence Labor,' directed at President McMahon, of the United Textile Workers of Amer ica. Yes, that editorial tirade ap pearing In ■“Lawrence Labor” was printed in The Textile Bulletin, and fqllowing that Editor Clark starts off by saying: "Oar readers have doubtless been under the impression that they were reading a regular editorial of The! Southern Textile Bulletin, but all the above paragraphs are extracts from a labor paper, tile ““Lawrence Labor,” published at Lawrence, Mass.” Bnly smoke and raw macherel! The Southern Textile Bulletin and “Lawrence Labor,” the reddest of Red Rags, writing so much alike that Editor CJark publishes an editorial from the One Big Union Russian Bol shevik! paper and says no doubt read ers of The Bulletin think that edi torial a regular spiel from The Bui-, letih!

This from Lawrence Labor: The following extract from the report of •Hie Executive Council of the American Federation ot Labor will be interesting: “Ju the Now E»tflan4 te*tile in. duMry the employer* not only icu|%t "to impose a wage cut of 20 par -cent in addition to a previous : <we «f .IS 1-2 per cent, but also , - to lengthen the working week from 48 to 54 hours. Under the leader *ldp ' of the LXnited • Textile Work e«» of America the textile work ers ceased work for ten m.onths. and returned Vritth die wage cut m | effect jpMior to die fO pOr cent re* dmOtsan. He 48-tbour. week was also maintained for most of the industry* The labor movement t gave ’SUch solid financial support to the Textile Workers’ Union that close to One million dollars was disbursed in maintaining the 'worirers in New England vto know what McMahon did with| 'Shift million dollars. They wil he asking that question of Mc SiafeoB alia Sarah Conboy and Ri viere, arid’ they will wait a long time for an accounting. They h&Vie never made any public •accmnrtittg-’for -ntore than a few1 thousands'' of that million dollars. As a consequence they have lost nearly all of the textile workers they had organized in New England. Here is spine more interesting-uata for the textile workers, taken from the official‘reports of the A. F. of L. In 1920, McMahon’s union was paying par capita to the A. F. of L. foy 104,j9<H)'members. For the last two years McMahon has been paying per capita to the A. F* of Lj for 30,000 members. Any one who ’knows the methods of the A. F. of. Ii. will readily understand that the -actual membership of the IX. T. W. -all -over America today is, much .less than that number, as the small unions in the A. F. of L. that support the Gompers machine inva riably pay per capita upon a round number of members far in excess of their actual membership in order to give them -votes in the A. F. of L. convention.«. it is doubtful if the U .T. W. has 15,000 inembers left in the Ameri-, can continent, but taking their own figures, we see that in three years McMahon has succeeded in reducing the membership of the textile work ers by 74,800 and the labor move ment has given him a million dollars for doing it. In his speech to the convention Mc Mahon pleaded for more money to organize the textile workers in the South. He did not propose to try to get back the $75,000 he has lost in New England because he knows the New England workers have had enough of him and sd hfe proposes to go South and try tid build up a new dues-collecting agency where his mis deeds are notknowh. McMahon even had the nerve to refer to his organization as a “mili tant” union in spit** of the record he has established everywhere for yel lowness. - . * r is v. And Then David Says: Our readers have doubtless been under the impression that they were reading a regular! editorial of the Southern Textile Bulletin, but all above the paragraphs are extracts from a labor union paper, the “Law rence Union,” published at Lawrence, Mass, We have never said anything worse about Thomas Failure McMahon. We did not accuse him of getting a mil lion dollars out. the operatives of the South, but it has been estimated that lie' got $250,000 from them. The Lawrence Labor accuses him of desiring to build up a new dues colletting agency and it seems to us that '-somewhere, sometime, we have expressed .a similar idea. - We can assure the,Lawrence Labor that the mill operatives of the South are fully aware that Thomas Failure McMahon is a dues-collecting four flusher who seeks only to ply his trade! and that the mill operatives do not intend,to again contribute to his upkeep,^ “Whpn thieves fall out honest men get tkeir dues” or at least learn the .uth| Thpei-fe Js one outstanding similarity between Clark’s Textile Bulletin and “Lawrence Labor,” the One Big Union official organ, and that is that both papers have consistency and per sistly lied about President McMahon, Mirs. Sara A. Conboy and the United Textile Workers of America. They’re both Working to the same end.—the destruction of the' legitimate union of textile workers. They’re both serv ing the manufacturers of America. They’re both hindering the progress and orderly and permanent advance ment of the textile workers. Editor Clark assures his co-work ers, that red rag called “Lawrence Labor,” that tlje textile workers of the South will never line up with the ■United- Textile Workers of America. Just to show how little Clark knows of what he is doing and saying, and just how the textile workers feel to ward him and his bull, a meeting was hold in Concord Tuesday night of this week, and Clark’s assurance to his eo-wnrker and twin writer on Lawrence Labor wee severely con demned.^ It was stated oh the .floor at that hxeeting by a hew member that he tyould join the United Textile Workers of America if for no other reason thin that David Clark was as-, suming t'o speak for the workers. The great American Labor Move ment will go serenely on its way, gaining, advancing, in spite of all the efforts of Editor Clark and his cohorts and fellow-editors who write so like he writes, and all other Eu ropean Reds who may come to Amer ica to join forces with those who already ,live here, in all their hellish efforts to destroy American freedom and opportunities. Of course, The Southern Textile Bulletin and all others who line up with '‘Lawrence Labor,” and similar red Reds retards, somewhat the progress that real American institutions could make, but the efforts can only temporarily retard, to say the least.

Turner, for a long time1 employed at Highland Park mill No. 3, has been a very faithful employe, it is said, and has served the comr pany well in keeping down the or ganization of the workers in North •Charlotte. « ... , Last week Mr. Turner was fired from his job in <No. 3. It is rather surprising to many people of the North Charlotte sec tion (that Mr. Turner, after all his faithful work in behalf of the com pany, and after aH his (knocks against the textile union, that he should him self be fired. But this seems to be the way of life. Just when a man thinks he is making himself solid with the com pany by opposing the organization and the advancement of the workers, some boss comes along and puts a crimp in that fellow’s tail. ' .
