C., THURSDAY, AUGUST 27, 1936 1 Americanism is an unfailing love of country, loyalty to its institutions and ideals, eagerness to defend it against all enemies, undivided allegiance to the flag, and a desire to se cure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and posterity. SURPLUS OF HYPHENATED AMERICANS In years past the shores of America have been freely open to the oppressed, the exiled and the discontented of other nations :>f the earth. That this hospitality on our part has been accepted to an extraordinary degree is, of course, a matter of universal knowledge, although the results have4not proved an unmixed bless ing. For instance, out of the melting pots of Europe and Asia we have drawn to our shores great hordes of people who have not seemed willing to conduct themselves as one would expect of guests, or willing to accept without reservation the obligations imposed upon them as future citizens. In short, we have pro this, pro- that, and about every variety of hyphenated citizen, with all that the term implies, that one would well imagine. Of course, as all know, immigration restrictions are rather tight at this time, only a comparatively few foreigners being admitted. It seems to us, however, that those who are already here should refrain from affiliating with organizations that are un-American in that they are composed of distinctly racial groups, and should become Americans in thought, word, and deed. C.I.O. GETS RESULTS Acknowledgement that the organizing campaign of the Committee for ! Industrial Organization is already getting results for the workers comes j from a number of sources not suspected of pro- CJ.O. bias, i The New York Times weekly review of business conditions, under the i title. "The Merchant’s Point of View,” reports that the organization work of the C.I.O. in the steel, rubber and auto industries "has already achieved significant results.” . . "To offset this organizing drive” it says, “the industries affected have seen fit to make further concessions to their workers in the hope, no doubt, of bulwarking the so-called company unions. The union campaign therefore is responsible for indirect benefits.” In a series of syndicated newspaper articles on the steel labor ques. tion. Theodore A. Huntley compares concessions won by the C. L O. with those accorded through the company unions. . “The men themselves say that the concessions they get by this method (company unionism) are of a relatively minor character.” he reports. “It doesn’t bring them substantial advances in pay, it doesn’t shorten their hours and it didn’t get them vacations with pay, until the C.I.O. came into the field and began to talk industrial unionism under the Lewis leadership. “Now_within the last few weeks—the men in the mills have been given vacations with pay for the first time in the history of the steel in dustry. a concession has been made in overtime pay, and there is talk ot a 10% increase in wages all along the line."—C.I.O. Union News. Dramatic Film Of ‘Boulder Dam’ At Charlotte Fri.-Sat. The Warner Bros, production, “Boulder Dam.” which colorfully ex ploits the exciting incidents connected with the construction of the mighty ! power project, comes to the Char ilottc Theatre today wtih Ross j Alexander. Patricia Ellis and I.yle !Talbot in the leading roles.'1. Alexander and Miss Ellis'have the romantic roles, with Talbot portray ing the “heavy role” of rival for the ilove of the oretty dance hall singer, 'played by Miss Ellis, j The picture is crammed with dy namic drama, daredevil action, heroic jdeeds and thrilling incidents in ad jdition to its romance. Miss Ellis |Also adds a colorful touch to the pic ture by singing two songs specially jwritten for the production by the not pd song team of Mort Dixon and Al lie Wrubel. i The story concerns an automobile mechanic, cocky and sure of himself, hut who shirks his work at every hpoprtunity. In a fist fight with his boss, the latter falls and strikes his head in such a way that it kills him. The mechanic flees, gets to the poulder Dam in his wanderings, and there meets the pretty dance hall finger and is inspired by love to make Western Tex.

We do appreciate your patronage DANIELS TO STICK TO NOMINEE Hon. Josephus Daniels from Mexico City has let Hon. Clyde Hoey, nominee of the Democratic party for Governor of North Carolina, know that he is for him, lock, stock, and barrel; hook, bait and sinker, et cetera. The incident is reported by Tom Host in The Greensboro News as if it was highly sensational. It is not at all except, perhaps, for the fact that Mr. Daniels is taking this method of informing Mr. Hoey that even though he was not at all on his side in the recent gladiatorial gubernatorics. he has no part nor truck now with the socalled “Liberal Democrats in the State” organized to re-elect Mr. Roosevelt and to let Mr. Hoey go hang so far as they are concerned, said Liberal Democrats" being the more militant leaders of the McDonald wing in that campaign. Mr. Daniels, whose influence and that; of his newspaper, The Raleigh News and Observer, is exclusively confined to the eastern part of the State, will be helpful in seeing that the pouting and reprisals of these McDonaldites with whom his people and property commerced in the recent primary brings , in but scant fruit.—Julian S. Miller, Observer, Aug. 21.
