SOMEBODY- IS LYING ABOUT US “Somebody is lying about Char lotte,” said an irate visitor to The Herald office yesterday. “I read in my Home town paper that there was plenty of work to do here, that there were many more jobs than men to fill them. I came. I am here. I can’t find anything much but seveial other fellows just like myself—hunting a job.” When assured that there is lots of work going' on here, the man re plied: “I know there is, and I also know there are plenty of men to fill these jobs. Cities ought not to flood their streets with jobless men. I could have starved at home just as easily, and with much more comfort, than I can starve here.” With that the man walked away. But it set the boys thinking, and a quiet survey is being made, to ascer tain just how the city stands. There ‘have been many reports recently that there are more jobs seeking the man than mien seeking the jobs. The truth is wanted, and it is com ing.

How Four Old Maids ^ Have Real Christmas RSpIBEt were a family of old maid* lOI sister*. But they were Qy the ^oiliest, nicest old maids I BwH erer knew. ! always awbfe it, and now I know It. What do you think they did for Christmas? Did they have a tree, for themselves and exchange costly presents with each other, and then eat a turkey with dressing and pies, alone In ^heir charming white dining room? Not $■; bit Of it They know what Christmas was meant for, and they acted on the knowing. Their friends tell me they have done it every year; but since I’m only a new acquaintances compara tively, I couldn’t know that. They Invite In a dozen children who wouldn’t ordinarily have a Christ mas tree at all and give their presents to them. And then those twelve, poor little mites sit down at the table in the old maids’ charming white dining room, and the old maids themselves serve them with turkey and all the fixings. And they don’t do it for char ity either. They do It because they adore children, and making them hap py it to them a treat. You see, from theit cradles, these four old maid sisters were blessed with the Christ mas -spirit, a spirit that lasts all the year around when it is genuine. But why should I call them “old maids?’’ That term is- in such disre pute? They are four angels! And knowing that, I am going to try my luckf some time when I can get the courage, and ask one of them, the one I happen to be in love with, to “have me.” Perhaps if I make the proposal within the Christmas season she’ll remember she’* a Christmas angel, and take me. Don’t laugh at my audacity. Anything may happen at Christmas time! For Christmas is a magical time. Even a child can tell you that.—Ethel Cook Eliot. (©, 1923, Western Newapaper Union.) That Plum Pudding and Some Twisted Mottoes OUISE loved jokes. She caught people with questions and puz zled them with conundrums. So she had arranged- a program that centered about the Christ mas plum pudding. When that came upon the table each one was to put in his thumb and pull out a plum in the shape of a twisted motto; there they were, all around the sides of the platter. Father was first, Unfolding his plum he read off the pit of it and, as if to moderate the coming merriment, said •‘All is not laugh that titters.” Then mother read hers: “It’s a wrong turkey that has no turning.” As this <LV1 not ppply to the bird that had just disappeared, the self-satis fied smile of the cook behind the door did not come off. Then Aunt Mary: “A hitch in time saves mine.” This reference to Bob’s trousers asserted fils independence of suspenders, but caused his relative to remind htg} that he was not as need less of sttiches as he thought, upon which he replied that he could depend upon that tailor who had advertised “pants a dollars and a half a leg, seats free.” Then Stman: "Wb never miss the swatter till the flies go by.” This was a fly paper upon a dead subject and it was filed for future reference. Bob’s plum was also laid on the table after he had read: “A strolling hoy catches no horse.” A sentiment that he was Inclined to think a little too personal Louise had the last plum and de clared; “All’s well that ends swell.” Expressing the traveler’s satisfaction with terra Anna, less terror and more firmer. But the pudding was cooling and that wa« no joke, so, as the tempera ture fell they fell to.—Christopher G. Hazard. «£>, 1IU, Wertiril Newspaper Union.) -- A CHRISTMAS THOUGHT The greater happiness of the Christ mas season is a direct result of the greater participation of men and wo men In the spirit of Christ. For then weakness has a power over strength; and then the laughter in the eyes of little Children seems a better thing than our own good; and then the tired routine in the lives of those around us looks out upon us through enigmatic eyes, and we understand better, we pity, we cease to condemn—we would even ameliorate, we would show that we see and understand—and so we offer the dumb gift which mutely tells what our Word's could never tell; and then In onr hearts, in our households, in our little world, there is Christmas Joy and peace—earth’s highest happi ness.—Sister M.

CONTINENTAL TRUST COMPANY 17 West Fourth Street Banking—Savings—Trui* LABOR INJUNCTION RESTS ON.. DISHONESTY AND DECEIT BY SAMUJEL GOMPERS. An Asheville, N. C., court refused to enjoin striking printers. In ap pealing to the supreme court of that state to reverse the decision, the em ployers attorney said: “A labor organization is not granted any greater Jimmanity ' than, any other organization or individual.” This dishonesty and deceit is not unusual. If is one of the tricks that the friends of the labor injunction resort to. The organized; workers do not want immunity. Instead, they ob ject to be singled out for a so-called process of law that other citizens are not subjected to. The workers do not ask for favors when they object to this procedure. They want the >affie status as other citizens. This is ignored by defenders of the labor injunction, who get just as far awuy from facts as possible. Under the law of the land if a man, for instance, is charged with threatening to assault another man, proper punishment for such wrong doing is provided. But the law can not be enforced until the accused—who is assumed to be innocent until proven guilty-— is priviltged to face his accuser, to cross-examine him, and to have a jury trial, presided over by a jud&e whose conduct is most minutely charted by law, custom and rule. This . system is known as govern ment by law—the rights of the ac cused are protected. He does not have to depend upon tbe whim of any individual. This country rests on government by lawv Only revolutionists would change it. In times of strikes these revolutionists are joined by employ ers and attorneys and judges who substitute, the labor injunction for government by law. In strike times a judge orders working men not to assault or not to do other things they know are unlawful as well as the court does. One of the strikebreakers makes affidavit that he has been "threaten ed with assault,” and the accused strikers are haled before the injunc tion judge. Are they assumed to be innocent? Are they permitted to face their ac cuser and cross-examine him? Are they accorded a jury trial, as is the meanest horse thief or kidnapper? To SjU these questions the answer is “No!” The court is not .bound by any rule or law. Government by law* is sidetracked for government by the individual. The court punishes the strikers as he sees fit:—not for violating law but for contempt of court. It may be said that this is a quick method of ending the dispute. But the cure is worse than the disease. The labor injunction ^dvocate ranges himself with the defenders of a lynching mob and other foes of gov ernment by law. By making himself a party to his unlawful and revolu tionary procedure the judge weak ens the entire governmental Struc ture. lender government by the indi Victual the judge has a free hand foi every petty spite, economic preju dice, and unreasoning mood. Under government by law the judge is held to strict account for his acts. And because the organized workers iiisist on government by law they are charged with Waiting “immunity.” The charge shows what shallow minds are included in the legal pro fession. , The labor injunction must go. It has no place in a land dedicated to government by law. D. J. BOST ATTORNEY-AT-LAW .Announces the opening of office* at 305 H Weit Trade St., Rooms 1 and 3» Charlotte, N. C. Phone 3*753.
