New Deal Investigating Bus Employe Discharge Was J. B. Lee fired as a dispatch er for the Atlantic Greyhound bus lines because he joined a labor un ion or because he persistently vio lated rules of the company? The National Relations Board, the New Deal agency charged with enforc ing the Wagner Act, sent an exam iner and several attorneys to Ral eigh this week to find out. Hearings were conducted in the hall of the house of representatives by Lacy Mcßride of Fayetteville, special examiner for the board and a member of the last legislature. The hearing lasted two full days, Monday and Tuesday, and attract ed considerable local attention. Mo tion of the Greyhound atorneys to throw out the complaint, on the ground that it was brought in fact by the labor union instead of by the discharged employee, was de nied. Briefly, the contentions are: The Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen, the union which Lee joined and la ter quit, charges that he was dis charged solely because he joined that union. That is a direct viola tion of the Wagner Act. The Grey hound officials contend that Lee was discharged as dispatcher for violation of company rules, speci fically the sending out of bus driv ers on long trips before they had had the required hours of rest. This issue was involved in a lot of tes timony about unpaid bills which the dispatcher owed and which bus officials asked him to arrange to pay, conversations with labor or ganizers, etc., but boiled down it it really the only issue. Mr. Mcßryde conducted the hear ing’ with decorum and with more regard for the rules of evidence than is usual in such hearings, but from the beginning it was evident that labor board representatives j were more anxious to sustain the complaint than they were to find the real truth. The labor board was represented by Atomey R. R. Hilton and Field Examiner W. C. Humphrey of Washington. The Greyhound lines were represented by I. M. Bailey of Raleigh and C. M. Carney of Park ersburg, W. Va. Transcript of all the testimony was taken and will be studied by Mr. Mcßryde, who will make his report to the full board. Appeal may be taken by either party to the federal courts. BIG TURNIP Have you seen that big turnip at the Zebulon Drug Company’s store? It weighs 4 1-2 pounds and was grown by W. M. Duke, Zebulon, R 1. Will says he has plenty more like it. OUR BIBLE It is fitting that once each year the attention of the nation should be focused on the Bible. What ever one’s shade of religious belief he is bound to pay his respect to the Bible. On the Bible all branch es of the Christian church unite. The Old Testament comprises the Sacred Scriptures of the Jews. The Bible was the chief book of the fathers of our country. Out of its teachings grew our schools, our colleges, the customs of our courts and the notable humanita rian enterprises that mark our na tion’s life. It is inextricably wov en into our literature. Its phras es form the title of our most pop ular books. The Bible has out lived all other books. Emerging from a hoary antiqquity it is to day the world’s best seller. Writ ten in languages long dead it has been preserved in its entirety in 174 other tongues and has been I'HE ZEBULON RECORD, ZEBULON, NORTH CAROLINA, FRIDAY, DECEMBER TE' Jin part translated into 800 more. The vigor with which it is finding its way into the languages of the race is not abating, for, according to the American Bible Society,' some portion of the Scriptures is appearing in a new tongue at the rate of one every four or five weeks. This is a phenomenon without parallel in literary history and should give pause to every serious student of our nation’s life and the life of the world. No man can consider himself well posted who does not know this book. Though a volume of more than a thousand pages it can be bought for a few cents. Do you own a Bible? Do you read it? Gov. Endorses Bible Sun. Dec. 12 Governor Clyde R. Hoey urges the churches of North Carolina to observe Universal Bible Sunday on next Sunday, December 12th, to remind all people of the unrivalled place this great book has had in the making of our nation and the nations of the world. This year for the first time the celebration is to include a nation-wide broad cast over the Columbia network at 1:30 E. S. T., in which the Secre tary of State, Honorable Cordell Hull, and Mr. John T. Manson, president of the American Bible Society, will speak. The celebra tion, as formerly, is sponsored by the American Bible Society, by whose uninterrupted misisonary activities, now in their 122nd year, approximately 285,000,000 volumes of Scriptures have been distributed in more than forty I countries and in 226 languages. ! In endorsing Uinversal Bible Sunday Governor Hoey says: “I j wish to direct attention to Sunday, December 12th, 1937, which will be observed as Universal Bible Sunday by churches and religious groups throughout America, and to express the hope that the people of North Carolina will make due observances of this day.” CASH or SYMPATHY WHICH PAYS THE BILLS 9 • This Old Line Insurance Co.
