HERALD NO LONGER GARRIES THE ENDORSEMENT OF THE CHARLOTTE CENTRA! LABOR UNION-REASONS (Continued from Page One) Ajnerica. • V < I knew Bailey./to fee a boastful Pharisee, who would stand with head unbowed and thank God that he was not like other North Carolinians and T Jt. knew McLean to ba a man who would kneel in the freshly ploughed ground and with his head bowed upon the plow stock thank God that he had been able' to' render some sHgSc service to a widow and an or ^phan in his community. Knowing these things, I wrote ah editorial, predicting the election of A. W. McLean, calling attention, of ' the public to "the fact that he had a tremendous job facing him and ^ was thankful that he had the abil ity to meet the facts that confront ed him. Then hell broke loose. I had sold out again! It didn’t matter that Tom Jimison, 4 whose name appears in the masthead with mine, wras out speaking for Bailey. It made no difference that WORKERS-—Be rate to redd Bailey’s foil page political Ad in this issue. Your attehtiOii is respectfully called to the fact that the Raleigh man comes clean for the eight-houk day. Read it and be convinced.—adv. - i ■ - — - ■—— Dr. H. Q. Alexander, whose name appears on the masthead with mine had been out for three years cam paigning for Bailey. No suggestion of coercion or purchase price was mentioned in connection With the names of either of these gentlemen, but when I dared to express, my pref erence, that little bunch of interlop ers, which has called themselves the Cental Labor- Union, disagreed only as to the amount that I -had received for speaking in favor of Mr. McLean. ' In order to curtail the activity of tfhe Herald, it was decided to pre sent a questionaire to each of the candidates for governor. This ques tinaire was mailed out on May 12. On May 20, although no reply had been received from any candidate, the Central Labor Union indorsed Mir. Bailey for governor and pro ceeded to give to the daily press vail the details in connection therewith. On May 27th Mr. McLean’s reply eame to the Central, the first and only reply that the Central body had had to its questionaire. The point was brought ou,t that although the Central body had just listened to Mr. McLean’s reply, that Mr. Bailey's reply had not as Vet been received. Therefore, I made the motion that in view of the fact that Mr. McLean’s reply had just came in and Mr. Bailey's had riot been received, that the Central body rescind its action of, endorsement of Bailey and when Mr. Bailey’s reply did come in, take the tufa), ahd ascertain which proms ised the most for labor and the'Cen tral Labor Union endorse that man.; That motion was voted down. Bailey’s indorsement stood although he had not answered the question nanre. 1 could not in consistency, with the. principles of hte American Federation of Labor's non-partisan spirit, be a party to such iunjust, -un* fair, and untenable; oliey, informed^ the Central body that thereafter- the Charlotte Jhetald would appear with-' ohtt he indorsement of the .Central Labor Union at its masthead. I have tried to give a dignified statement of the affairs and if there Is any man connected with the Char lotte Central Labor Union who de sires to throw this into a mud-sling ing confest, that we have several carloads of mud that Would not look good if thrown i|pon the. screeh Where the public views organised labor. I am printing a labor paper, de voted to the cause of the workers and the columns are open to any and all men who wish to convey their ideas, but I am, thank God, no long er bounden to uphold the rascal who slips by in the twilight or the dawn to stir strife in a peaceable com munity where employers -and em ployees wialk hand in hand in the God-fearing path that leads to jus tice to all. _ Motor Weather is Here!

Tl»K continued 10 months, when, notice was received that my disability tab* ing had been changed to SO per eetlfe. I argued the matter, took it to the district appeal board, was turned down, except that the 50 per cefit award of temporary was changed tb 50 er cent permanent. I again a|i gued, made showing of serious, prog ress of my disease and the ftiattlf Was reconsidered add I Was given i®j per cent temporary ffoM date of diS* charge, same to continue' indefinitely On account of the retroactive few tifr® of the award, it had to bfe cow firmed by the central office boa® of appeals.

Their Word, their actual knowledge, gained by personal contact, cut only half tlfb figujre, so they arbitrarily decided without grounds. k. Appeals Directly to Gen.

General Hines ad-* vised that I could appeal directly td him, and the appeal Was submitted December 14,’1923. “Assistant Director Mulhe<arn has handled the case,so far, as I am iff* former, and General Hines, until March 31, 1924Ahad never seen it, notwithstanding nis personal assur# ance that he would give it his per* sona.1 attention. I must say, how-* ever, I do not believe it was ever alloWed to reach him until I wrote a personal lettdi^fcendlng it by special delivery to Q^jieral Hines at his res idence on March 25, 1524. “On March 31, 1924, General Hlines wrote me a letter which I copy nere, to,wit: “ ‘I have yopr letter of March 29 relative to your claim for compensa tion, C-845389, ahd wish to advise that I have ordered youir case! brought to my personal attention for further review and consideration. You will be further advised con cerning it at the earliest practicable date.’ “I have heard nothing since, ex cept 3s below. “Secretary to the President, Slemp inclosed to me a few days later, the attached copy of a letter to him sup posed to be signed by General Hines, in which he gave an entirely differ ent version to the assurance given me. I do not believe General H^nes in that letter did anything but ‘sign on the dotted line.’ ' . ’ ■ | New Evidence U Disregarded* “Attention is directed to the fact that notwithstanding new evidence, sworn to by the designated physician of the United States Veterans’JBu reau here, and several other affida vits by others Who had aided "My wife when I had succumbed to pre mie poison, and the report of the oculist of the district office, who!-had examined me carefully and riffted the structural physical changed in my eyes, which changes indicate; positively early dissolution, the form er findings of the - central office board of appeals was concurred in. “All this convince* me that jus tice doe* not prevail in the #> tral office in, Washington.
