SEEN AND HEARD
ANOTHER, mean man
. *
Mr. George -Duke was telling us
bout what someone did to the roof
f the building which houses the
lost office and the Zebulon Re
ord. He has had considerable
rouble, with .» leaking roof. Not
ong ago he ha<L it rebuilt at con
iiderable cost* by a man who guar
mte®l his Work. And it did not
eak. Some one went up on the roof
ind using a.crowbar, or some such
,001, tgre great sections of the roof
off and punched holes in much of
the rest. .
It was. necessary to remake the
whole roof at a cost of nearly
S4OO. Who did- it and why, is as
good a guess from one as an
other. Mr. Duke says he will give
SIOO good cash money to any one
wfto catches a portion on that root
any time between suns unless he
is there by permission from George
Duke himself. The only condition
to get the SIOO is that you turn
Hie fellcftv over to the officers or
hold him till the. officers come. We
have decided under the circum
stances not r to bother that roof.

LEADERS DISAGREE
John 1.. Lew s, chairman of the
Committee for Industrial Organi
zation, declares that sitdown strikes
are a legal and logical method of
compulsion when used by workers
in demands for higher wages and
shorter hours. Will am Green, pres
ident of the American Federation
of Labor, asseits that the sitdown
method must be disavowed by think
ing men and women of labor. Green
believes public opinion will not sup
port sitdown strikes and may be
come prejudiced against the strik
ers. Lewis holds that sueh an opin
ion is cowardly.
