CHARLOTTE, N. C., THURSDAY, APRIL 11, 1936 JOURNAL’S ANNIVERSARY EDITION The Journal is preparing its Anniversary Edition, which will appear either on the 2nd or 9th of May, when this pub lication will pass into its fifth year of endeavor, and we hope that the merchants will accord us liberal support for this edition. While the response to the picture pages has not been in keeping with the edition put out two years ago, the sup port has been fair, and we hope to make this birthday edition a credit to us and to the advertisers lending their support. Speculation as to former Senator Morrison’s visit to Washington last week and the political significance attached thereto, brings out the fact that he is not put of politics. It looks as if he is preparing to give Senator Reynolds a hot fight in 1938, or before. And now the “Young Business Men” are working for an expression from candidates on Sunday observance. They have set out to purify local poli tics. They state that “our municipal affairs have too long been considered a joke.” Charlotte has certainly had some fine men in the “joke column” the past four years. What does President oRosevelt mean by letting his special train wreck North Carolina autos? And to cap the climax, two special detectives were left on the scene to find out what the car was doing in the way of the Presi dent’s special down about Wilson way. Harvey S. Firestone, he of tire fame, states that people with too much money are the most unhappy and the jobless come next. We wonder how Mr. Firestone feels—we know how the broke and jobless feel; and what would Mr. Firestone term too much money? Mr. Donald Conner, second vice-president of the Cotton Manufacturers Association, is dead set against the Wagner Bill, all of which is natural, for that would help the worker, but he is for any bill that will have for its pur pose a plan for finding farm tax, a plan for the protection of home mar kets aganist importations from Japan, a plan for regaining the lost Philip pine market, or one for establishing a parity as between cotton and those things which can and do substitute for cotton. How modest in their desires for self and how anything that would benefit the worker is tabooed. Only two men from each ward may enter the general election for City Council, is the ruling made by W. C. Davis, chairman of the county board of elections. That will give us 22 candidates in the finals, with two, we under stand in the run-off for mayor. The harvest is ripe with candidates and there are more in prospect. V-^The “Y” campaign now’on is really an investment in our future citizen ship. which can not be computed in dollars and cents, but the dividends must be looked for in character building. J. M.

MOREHEAD COMPLETE LINE OF New Spring Hats UNION LABELED National Hat Shops 108 South Try on Street CENTRAL LABOR UNION The meeting Tuesday night of Cen tral Labor Union was well attended and much routine business transact ed. The candidacy of Howard Payne, of Ward 6 and T. R. Grimm,'of Ward 9 were endorsed, both of these men being members of Central body, the former from the Textile ranks and the latter of the Rubber Workers. Communications, reports of locals, and the regular routine was gone through, with adjournment around the usual hour. Attention was called to the mock trial to be staged next Monday night by the Women’s Union Lahel League, at the hall. Label activities have shown no let up, and the Central body is taking more and more interest along this line of endeavor, and the results be ing obtained are well worth the ef forts put forth. ... I The Union Label is the greatest ASSURANCE of quality and the best INSURANCE for Trade Unionism. Extracts From > Defense of Labor By Wm. Green “Labor is not so impatient. Labor recognizes that social progress is a slow and unending task and that no worthw|ule venture should be aban doned until there has been every op portunity for a thorough trial.” ‘‘The N. R A. has given millions of workers the legal right and the courage to organize for the first time in their lives. It has made them feel free for the first time in their lives. They will not see that right taken from them without a struggle.” *'A Federal Statute will extend the self-organization and collective bar gaining provisions of the Recovery Program to all employes. Collective bargaining must not be looked upon as an emergency measure only. It must become a basic part of the changed economic order which is our ultimate aim.” “It is souarely up to the Federal Government to chart the course which is to be followed. The formation of policy must be centralized under the National Recovery Administration. It is not my province to discuss the legal basis for the protection of these workers. It is my firm conviction, however, that some method can and must be found whereby they shall be covered by codeB.” Subscribe for The Journal Smith Transfer LOCAL AND LONG DISTANCE HAULING I YEARS OF EXPERIENCE CARGO INSURED HARVEY P.

The report sajd that owing to methods of compiling and estimating, the figures reveal only tendencies. Their adventures aboard the ship become interrelated in dramatic pat terns that you will find tremendous ly entertaining. There is a crook fleeing with valu able negotiable papers he has stolen; a detective on his trail; the crook’s accomplice, a girl, who, because of the detective is obliged to pose as an in nocent librarian; a newspaperman who has failed as a Hollywood scen ario writer, and who is returning to New Yoyk to try and forget the ac tress with whom he has fallen in love; a woman with a past, traveling with her husband^ who is ^ashamed of her past, and other colorful characters whose stories become intricately in terwoven before the trip is finished.

J. Kendall on Sylvania avenue and pass ed more or lees’fiery resolutions prom ising to fight to the last to keep the transient home out of their commun ity. The meeting finally established contact with Baxter J.. Hunter, chair man of the board of county commis sioners, and arranged to appear be fore a called meeting of the commis sioners at the court house to voice their protest formally.
