Wednesday, September 19, 1934 THE TEXTILE STRIKE The textile strike is now well on' towards the third week and it would shock many of you to know what the loss has been. The laborers have lost almost three; weeks work, some-1 thing like 150,000, more or less, de pending on which side is doing the' estimating, and the average for these men and women would run well above twelve dollars a week; the manufacturers have lost some little profit on the goods which would have been manufactured had there been no strike, and worst of all, there has been aroused a feel ing of labor against capital which it i will take many years to eradicate; [ and this feeling is growing worsel' day by day, and will continue to so grow until a sensible ending is had. Eventually, the two at odds will get together around a table and effect a compromise?and how much bet ter had this been before the strike' was called. We are hands off in this fight; we conceive that labor has the right to strike whenever it is dis pleased with labor conditions or prices paid, but we also contend that the man who is satisfied with conditions and price has the right to continue at the jcb. That it was necessary to call out the soldiers is regretted, but life and labor must be protected in this good State, and "we have no criticism of our Gover nor for taking the precaution to see that life, as well as labor, was pro tected. The tactics, which are new in this part of the country, adopt ed by labor was a mistake, for when labor formed a mob and stormed Into the mills where men and wo men wanted to work and forced them to walk out, was going just a trifle too far, and the good people of the State lost interest in the strike. There is no union organization at either of the mills here, and so faT no flying squadron has given any trouble, and we trust there will be be no effort of this kind to close the mills. Labor and capital are & rand in hand here, and wp ?ope such will continue, and that Outsiders' will leave them alone. OUR CHIEF INDUSTRY Very few realise what the tobacco crop means to this section, it is our most important industry, mean ing more than any other, yea, than all other enterprises in the Coun ty. The pay roll of the textile plants amount to about one and three-quarters million dollars, whil9 the tobacco crop is worth more than two millions doUars. Yet, strange to say. a majority of the tobacco rais ed 1m this County is marketed else, where, giving the profits on the sell ing of the bulk of the crop to some other good town and county?and these profits amount to a neat sum; consider the charges, warehouse, auction fees and two and a half per oent commission, and you will see the charges will frmn about five per cent. Our neighbors realize what means to sell Person county to bacco, and we have no kick with them tor desiring this, tor they know, and we all know, that there is no section, as a rule, with better or more desirable tobacco than that raised in this County. If only we could get our folks to realize the importance of this crop, what it means to the. County, and what a grand thing it would be if we could sell every potihd of Perso.i county tobacco in Roxboro; get all those interested working as hard and as faithfully as. our neighbors do. ftonestly, we are not trying to de -ceive you, if we thought-yOu made a dollar by .selling your tobacco elsewhere we would not advise you to sell in ?Roxboro; but we are con vinced that as a whole you will get Just as much for your tobacco here as you will get on any market any where. Possibly, from one cause and another, you might offer a lead here one_ day and find the market a little off, and by selling on some rther market catch a day when they were not feeling a slump and make a dollar or two, but the same thing occurs on all markets; up a little one day, and off the next day. Such is the way of all markets, and, again we say, one day with another and you will do just as well here. There are many reasons why the farmer of this County should sell his tobacco here; for instance, when you sell l.ere you are belying to build up your own county; all prof- | its on the transaction are kept here and go into the channels of trade; ' l by selling here you give work to quite a number and help those who need work; every extra man given work brings jnore folks here and the more people who locate here adds that much in building up the town; and the town grows so does the valuation of property, and the larger the valuation of property the more taxes are collected, and : whenever a dollar valuation is made in the town that same valuation is passed on to the county, thus mak ing it possible to reduce your coun ty tax rate. And further, when you need help?and few who do not at some stage of life?you feel no hes itancy In calling on those who you have helped In times of prosperity. Remember, when you sell a load jf tobacco elsewhere you are doing all otf the things above described for?not your friends and neighbors, but for those who are not directly interested in your welfare, and who will noj. feel under obligation to you in time of need ,or trouble. You may get Just as much for your locS of tobacco, but honestly we do not believe you will ever feel deep down in your soul that you havi done the best for yourself and your town and County. 1 f We have tailored with ou for many years, -and we have enjoyed every year of it, but we feel that our farmers have never looked at this proposition from just the right angle. However,, it has been a pleasure to hear many of our very best farmers express a willingness to stick by their home market this year, and unless we are much mis taken there is going to be less to bacco hauled away from here than for many years. And that is as it should be. - LETS FORGET IT It was all- right and proper for the defeated candidate to call for a recount, especially when the vote was so close, but now that those in authority have said there was no fraud, just a few discrepancies, let's forget all about It, and let every one interested put his shoulder to the wheel and see how large a majority we may roll up for Miss Sue Brad sher, who, unless we are mistaken is the first lady ever to be elected Clerk of the Superior Court in this State. o When you come to town next Tuesday, or. any other day, don't fail to visit The Courier office.
