CONVENTION HELD SUNDAY BY BAPTIST SUNDAY SCHOOLS Cowarts, Nov. 13. ? More than a hundred Sunday School superintend ents teachers and workers were in * attendance at a convention of th" Baptist Sunday Schools of Caney | Fork township, Jackson County, that | was held Sunday afternoon, Nov. 12 at the Ccwaits Baptist Church. Sunday School workers were in jif tendance from Cowarts, Balsam (Jrove, Katherine's Chapel Moses Creek, East La Porte, and lTickas: i ?oe. Four Sunday School superintend ents and lcur ministers were in at tendance. Brief addresses were delivered by the Rev. T. E. Brown principal of the Tuekascipec elementary school and pastor of the Highlands Baptist Church, W. II. Smith, of Tuckaseipee, and C. W. Wood of Tuckaseipee. Mr. Wood is county-wide Baptist Snnday School superintendent. Hut Nichol son, of Cowarts, is township super intendent f\ ' ' * o ? ' ' f Washington, Nov. 15. ? As the farm wife says at preserving tiuie^ thi President's program is beginning to ?4 jell." A lot of the froth, in the shape of wiid doctrines and loose talk, has been skimmed off and what was fluid and formless two or three weeks ago is beginning to assume shape and something resembling solidity. What the mass needed was pectin. Anyone who doesu't know what peotin is had better talk to some housewife who has tried to make jelly without it. And the pectin in this instance, the precipitant that started things to settling dowii^ camo from two sources outside the Admin istration circles. One was lleuiy ion! and one was Gerard Swope. Ford, as everyone knows, refused tb sign the Blue Eagle Code. He also refused to join the National Chamber of Commerce, which is the trade association set up tor the automotive industries under the Kccovery Act. General Johnson threatened fumed. lie expressed the idea public would "crack-down' on Hi ittf ? for what seemed to him sotoetifog like treason. He even swapped Ms official Lincoln for a be cause Ford owns tfo'liiricofn com pany. lie tried to Iford dealer s bid for trucks rejected by the Army, even though it was the lowest bid. It looked like hard sledding for Hen ry, to hear the General tell it. " Then all of a sudden, it turned out that Henry Ford had been right and General Johnson wrong^ all tho time. Henry hasn't signed the Blue Eagle agreement, but the high legal officials of the Administration are agreed that he doesn't have to if ho doesn't want to, nor does anyone else have to. It is a purely voluntary agreement. Neither does he have to join the Trade Association of his industry. That again, is a matter of choice. All Henry has to do, it turns out, is to pay wages as high as th? minimum set forth in the code, work as short hours jis the code calls for^ and let his employees bargain with him collectively. It has been acceded from the start that Henry was okay on hours and wages, but the Indcration of I..aY>or thought they had him on the eollec tive bargaining proposition. Hatln t there been strikes at his Ldgewatcr plant and elsewhere? Wercnt a lot of Ford men out ? Where did collec tive bargaining come in ? The Labor Administration idvofcH^" ?'* gated and gave Henry a dran Wf of health. There never had been any objection raised to Ford employees acting as i unit in a demand for dif ferent workng conditions. They had demanded and I" ord had refused, lie had made an < Ff- r and they had refused it. And Senator Wagner, spokesman for Labor, had to admit that there was nothing in the law to compel any employer to agree to the collective demands of his workers^ any more than the workers could be compelled to accept, any proposal they didn't like from the employer. That, in effect, was a swat in the eve for the Federation of Labor leaders * who have been proclaim i:nr from the rooftops that the Recovery Act is their meat. They were going right out and organize everybody into unions. For that matter, nothing is stopping them except the fact- th.'t in the manufacturing industries most of the big companies have beaten them to it and have encouraged com pany unions which are functioning without the aid of the Federation. The Ford episode and its outcome have gone a long way to dispel some of the genuine fears cf industrial' and business hadcrs. It is clear now that nobody has to sign any of his rights away or disclose trade scen ts to his business rivals, so long as he ad heres to th" fundamental provisions of the Recovery Act. And it is clear that business is not wing to be turn ed over in a block to the Federation of Labor, which is what more busi ness men f-ared than any other one thing; except, perhaps the fear of Federal snoopers around their shops and telling them how to run their business. And there is where Gerard Swope came in. Mr. Swope is President of the General Electric Company. He has been serving as fin unpaid ad viser on General Johnson's staff at (Continued on Last Page)
