IC2 South College Street (Upstairs). Charlotte. N. C. PHONE 3-3094 W. M. WITTER-----Editor and Publisher CLAUDE L. A I.BE A ___Associate Editor CHARLOTTE. N. C., THURSDAY, OCTOBER 22, 1936 “WHY WE ARE FOR ROOSEVELT!” It took the Charlotte Observer two and one-half editorial col umns Tuesday morning, and nearly three columns Wednesday morning to tell why it was supporting Roosevelt. Editor Dowd, of the News, made his pronouncement along the same line in a two-column editorial some days previously. “Being as how” they are both Democratic papers it seems that the subject in hand could have been handled in much less space, saying for instance: He took a nation on the verge of collapse from the hands of a party that had bankrupted it and put banking and industry back on its feet; he caused the wheel of industry to .move again, he cared for the millions of starving through his relief program and reduced the ranks of the idle by some four million, and the work of again stabilizing America and giviqg a helping hand to the needy through the avenue of employment is still going on*apace, writh not a single bank failure the past year and Big Business growing and expanding—and yet they fight the man that threw out a life line to them when they were sinking. “Oh, consistency, thou art a jewel.” THE NON-PARTISAN VOTERS LEAGUE An organization that is going far afield in its effort for Presi dent Roosevelt and what he stands for is the Non-Partisan Labor Voters League, a national organization. Of course Labor is made up of many religious and political faiths, and while it does not speak for organized units it is composed of men both within and without the bounds of unionism w-ho realize that President Roose velt has given to the “common” man a degree of recognition never heretofore granted, and it is in a spirit of thankfulness for what he has done, and will do, that workers throughout the Nation are rallying to the man w-ho has written a new plank of freedom into the book of politics. THE CAROLINAS AGRICULTURAL FAIR It is estimated that 50,000 people attended the Carolinas Agri cultural Fair in Charlotte Tuesday, which is said to be the largest attendance ever given in a single day in the Carolinas to a like event, which is quite encouraging for a new-born venture of its nature. The event was given wide publicity, and then again it is a home-grow-n product and w-e are all proud of it. UNION LABOR SPENDS OVER TEN BILLION DOLLARS EACH YEAR Yes. $M0,000f000 a week. 52 weeks in the year, $7,480,000, 000 is spent by organized labor. Yet they will teH voVthe trade union workers are a negligible quantity. Then take into con sideration the daughters and sons of union men, single and mar ried. raised in union families, but engaged in other lines of en deavor who have not forgotten the traditions of their training, spending at least half that much or more, and you have over eleven billion dollars. A tidy sum to say the least, that organized labor throws into the marts of trade each year, with the sum steadily growing. Mr. Merchant, you can reach a portion of that eleven billion dollars by advertising in The Labor Journal which reaches a buying clientele of nearly four million dollars annually. Labor buys the best, not the cheapest. There are crafts in the organized labor movement in Charlotte today drawing f-om $6 to $11 daily, for an 8 hour day. Take an inventory of how much of this trade you are reaching that really take an interest in your advertising. Those who make their labor paper possible are given first con sideration, and it is a known and admitted fact by high authority that labor advertising is far superior to that of the ordinary kind.

Tryon St. Lady Astor Praises 1 Minimum Wage ; Laws In A Talk; RICHMOND, Va., Oct. 20.—Lady Nancy Astor said here yesterday that “employers" who defeat such legisla tion as the eight-hour day for women are “worse enemies of the State than Communists.” Discussing social legislation and a wide range of topics in an interview, the famous Virginia-born Britisher continued: “As long as empolyers in business and industry fight against such measures as the eight-four day and minimum wage laws, they will force people into union organization. Peo ple who oppose such legislation are the people who make communists and socialists. And countries which re fuse to face that fact [will continue to have revolutions, strikes and lock outs. Firms Who Helped Labor Division With Office Equipment The Labor Division at Democratic headquarters requests that we pub licly thank the following concerns who were kind enough to loan them the necessary articles With which to equip their quarters. The firms are listed as follows: Stjerchi Bros., Perry-Mincey Furniture, Co., Belli Bros. Co., and Haverty furniture Co. Gilmer Holton is in charge of the labor unit, being capably assisted by Mr. J. H. Fullerton, and they are both kept quite busy with their nu merous and varied dutiei. 135 S. TRYON ST. Charlotte, N. C. MON.-Tl'ES. WED.

The reports of locals were very good with everybody working. A committee was appointed to appear before the various locals as to attend ance of delegates. A fine spirit of fellowship seems to be prevailing, and when the political campaign on at present has passed, a larger attend ance is expected. President J. H. Fullerton presided. CREATORS O'7 Reasonable Drug Prices 128 North Try on Street CHARLOTTE GOV. OLIN JOHNSON INVITED TO LABOR RALLY HERE FRIDAY NIGHT AT DEM. HEADQUARTERS Gov. Olin Johnson of South Carolina has accepted an invitation to ad* dress a Democratic rally to be held here at 7:30 p.m. Friday at the Demo cratic headquarters (The Old Manufacturer’s Club), on West Trade Street. The rally Friday night is one of a series of such meetings being staged at the Charlotte Democratic headquarters by the various divisions of the party. J. H. Fullerton is chairman of the labor' division of the party in Meck lenburg and last night he confirmed reports that Governor Johnston had been invited here. A request has been made of National Democratic headquarters to assign either Representative Josh Lee, of Oklahoma, or Representative J. N. Mead of New Jersey to speak here Friday night. The invitation was extended to Governor Johnston to insure the Friday rally of a good speaker, Mr. Fuller ton said. Should it develop that either of the other two proposed speakers can come to Charlotte then two good speakers will be on hand to regale the loyal Democrats with campaign thunder. The labor vote is to be strongly pro-Roosevelt according to officials of the labor organizations of Charlotte and Mecklenburg. A strong representation of labor, organized and unorganized, is ex pected to be on hand, as the workers as a whole, have profited by the Roose velt administration, which has taken them from bread lines and put them upon a working basis. . BROTHERHOOD RAILWAY TRAINMEN TO WORK FOR THE SIX-HOUR DAY CHICAGO, Oct. 20.—A. F. Whit ney, president of the Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen, said today that the organization would undertake to get all labor organizations, in the railroad industry at least ,to work collectively for a change from an eight-hour day to a six-hour day.
