THIMBLE-HEAD CONTRACTOR IN DURHAM IS “IT’ Workers Continue to Make Magnificent Advance, How ever—C. L. U. Growing. Down at Durham, N. C., the work ers are making a magnificent stand for the advancement of the very peopie who have made the city. The Central Labor Union is in flourishing condition, and many locals are rap idly gaining in membership and Strength. The carpenters are es pecially active, and that unconquer able business agent, C. A. Durst, is working like a hero for the growth of the labor movement. The Durham workers are handicap ped in their work because of the op erations and activities of a/few nar row-minded contractors and business men of the city. For instance, one of the contractors, whose name is Salby, or Selby, or some such' cog nomen, is reported to have made a very ungentlemanly remark a few weeks ago. The carpenters were having a holiday, and planned a bar becue to which the contractors were invited. This man Salby is said to have made the assertion that he would not be disgraced by being seen with such a low sdown mess as the carpenters and their Barbecue. Judging from reports coming to -The Herald, this man’s action hurt the workers considerably. They had gone to trouble and expense in plan ning and staging thpir barbecue, and very naturally expected their employ ers to be pleased with the invitation to meet with their workers and en joy the barbecue. And to have their hopes dashed to the ground by the attitude assumed by this self-center ed, big-headed, narrow-minded, thim ble-headed contractor was enough to hurt the feelings of the workers. But they shouldn’t allow such as that to bother them. The Durham workers ought to re member it is their labor that is mak ing the city of Durham. They are building Durham, and in the building of Durham they are making a peat contribution to the human family. There have been galoots like that Durham contractor ever since the first cow had ticks on her, and his kind have been to human family just ^what the tick has been to the? tow family. V The workers should dip him in the vat of forgetfulness, and go on about jtheir work, growing stronger in their 'own manhood and taking a greater delight in the constructive service they are rendering to the human fam A fly. ♦ WARNS UNION OF DANGERS HUNTERSVILLE, Nov. 23.—The textile workers of this place listened with intense interest to James F. Barrett, who spoke here last night. The well know labor speaker and writer warned the workers here of the danger of over-confidence. Huntersville has had one of the best locals in the state for a long time, and here of late some few members have been neglecting meeting nights, and to them Mr. Barrett spoke words of warning. He stated it is an easy matter, when things are going good, to become somewhat indifferent, safe in the belief that all is well. That is just before the movement starts on the dowri-grade, Mr. Barrett said. He. urged to the workers to stand just as faithfully and alertly now for the organization as they did when the union was being built up from the very ground. A delegation was selected to go attend the Joint Council meeting in Lexington next Saturday. A letter Mfas read from the secretary of the Joint Council that Rev. Tom P. Jimi son and President Barringer would be at the Lexington gathering, and this announcement was greeted with great, applause. James B. McLachlin, Secretary of district 26, United Mine Workers of, American until he was ousted by, President John L. Lewis during the Cape Breton coal strike last summer, sentenced to Dorchester penitentiary for two years for seditious libel. GAFFNEY PAPER VOWED WORKERS WERE SATISFIED “Hj—j, No!”' Was What the Workers Said )|Vh e n The, ’ ! Question Was Put to Theme. GAFFNEY, S. C., N6v. 20l-i-Many newspaper men wonder why the rank and file place such little confidence in the things published today. It is true that the public is lacking in con fidence in the articles and editorials published in practically all papers and periodicals. Time'has been, in days agone, when folks believed, i fully, wholly and unreservedly, the editorials and news stories publish ed, but that time was back yonder when journalism was journalism, be fore the press was subsidized, com mercialized, and run as an adjunct to finance. Nothing else in American life has so degenerated as has the public press during the last half cen Down here in Gaffney, S. C., the newspaper serving Cherokee county recently furnished an example of the ; reason why the rank and file have such little confidence in what they ' read in the papers. The editor, or one of his assistants, wrote and pub lished an article dealing with the tex tile workers in Gaffney. It was stat ed in that article that a visit had been made through the mill commun ities, and the families of the workers had been visited, and not a single dissatisfied person could be found. The article went on to state that labor agitators had failed to stir up any trouble in Gaffney, as all the workers weer so well satisfied, you know—satisfied with their pay, their hours of labor, their working condi tions, their living conditions, and all. At a largely attended meeting of workers held just after the publica tion of this story of the satisfied workers of Gaffney, the question was put up to them, squarely and fairly. All people in the big crowd were Gaffney workers, employed in differ ent mills of this city. There were members of the Textile Union in the crowd, and there were many others who were not members of any labor organization. All satisfied persons were asked to raise their hands. Not a hand went up. * /AH persons who wanted better working conditions, better pay, better opportunities for their children, were asked to raise their hands—and every hand in the big crowd went up. Then the question was asked: “But what about thi§ statement in the Gaffney paper, that all the work ers here are satisfied?” The answer came kback: . “Ohn that thing! Why, whoever wrote that piece simply didn't know what they were talking about. Then I guess the paper wanted to stand in with the manufacturers. Maybe they wanted to borrow some money, or something like that. Another worker spoke up and said: “Why, Mister, we were getting 10 j cents a day a loom 28 years ago, and ! we’re still getting that 10 cents a day a loom. Do you reckon we’d be satisfied to make no advancement whatever in 28 years? Lordy, look what it costs us to live now, com pared with 28 years ago! Look how everybody else had advanced, but us. Satisfied? Kell, no!” And that’s one big answer to those who wonder why newspapers have no more influence than they have to day. And there’s but one thing that will get for the Gaffney workers the things they want. That is the or ganization of the workers. MOORESV1LLE TO BE THERE M.OORESVILLE, Nov. 21.—Work ers of this city held an interesting meeting last Friday evening, and named a delegation to attend the 1 Joint Council meeting of textile , workers. The local here is grow ling steadily, and much good is com j ing from the activities of the organ [ ization. * A loud whoop went up in /the meeting when it was announced [that Rev. Tom P. Jimison, the Labor Parson, was to speak at the Lexing ton Joint Council meeting.

It is my observation that men pulled out of the gutter never quite get rid of the gutter smell. < Bishop Denny’s remarks were ad* dressed to a class of 57 ministers who received credits for special training in Sunday School work, at the Wednesday night session of the Conference. Bishop Denny who is 69 years old and dosen’t look it, is a plain" and forceful speaker whose remarks impress one as coining from a source of wide human experience and serious thinking.'' Better than saving the sduls of adults from the gutter, is to take the child .front the cradle up and guide its feet in right paths so that it will never go down into the gutter, said the Bishop, the greater opportunity for evangelical Work is in end through the Sunday school, and not in mapping up the gutters.” “I don't like the phrase ‘original , sin,” mid the Bishop; “but it is one of those phrases you cant get away from, any more than you can get away from the word sunrise, even even though everybody knows the sun does not rise. A man once said to me, ‘show me a hen that has laid a rotten egg and I will believe in original sinV ! replied ‘Show me a hen that never laid an egg that would not rot.* ” . .
