Wm. S. Green, Close Observer, Says
Building and Work Getting Better
Reactionary Editorial More Tolerant
FARMS BECOMING MORE PRODUCTIVE, DUE TO SCIEN
TIFIC RESEARCH—TWO LARGE OCEANS SEPARATE
FIELDS—“WE HAVE THE HIGHEST STANDARD OF
LIVING OF ANY COUNTRY IN THE WORLD," THAT IS
WHY WE HAVE CONFIDENCE.
To the Charlotte Labor Journal:
Business and work is getting bet
ter. And it is going to continue to
get better and better, because funda
mentally, we have the basis for aj
great expansion. ,,, .
Demand is rowing steadily for our
manufactured and agricultural prod
ucts and this demand is being aided
by big business instead of hindered
as it was a few months ago. Big
business realised before it was too
late they were destroying the confi
dence of the buying public, by howl
ing “Wolf” at too many of the gov
ernment’s actions.
The editorial policies of many re
actionary papers have become more
tolerant, for the time being. The
actions of extremists on the other side
have been squelched due to their
followers being brought face to face
with hard times instead of rosy
dreams.
The population of the United States
is growing more rapidly within our
own boundaries, rather than by immi
gration, upon which we were largely
dependent in the older days. This
growth will some day take up the
slack in employment caused by our
improved techono logical processes of
manufacture.
On the other hand, our farms are
becoming more productive per acre,
due to scientific research in entom
ology—bugs to you. Everyone knows
if you control the boll weevil you get
more cotton. The same applies to
every farm product raised. The soils
are also getting moie favorable
treatment.
Two large oceans separate us from
European and Asiatic war fields. A
constitution that guarantees us per
sonal freedom has stood tests of many
decades. An expanded educational
system gives to youth that most
necessary knowledge, to carry on our
Institutions in accord with our under
lying principles of government. A
free radio and free press give us all
sides of any controversy which arises.
Social security and old age laws have
been passed, designed to give every
bne more confidence in our ability to
live and eat.
We have the highest standard of
living of any country in the world.
We have the most radios. We have
the most automobiles.
That is why we have confidence.

Central Labor Union Meeting One
of Interest and Well Attended;
Paul Aymon Gives Good Advice
Charlotte Central Labor Union
went all the gates last night (Wed
nesday) with nothing left to be de
sired as far as discussion went. While
the business transacted was mostly
of a personal nature, it nevertheless
meant much to organized labor in
Charlotte under the A. F. of L. ban
ners.
Paul J. Aymon, Carolinas director
of the A. F. of L. forces, was pres

PROCEEDINGS HALTED
WASHINGTON, D. C.—The U. S.
Labor Department ordered postpone
ment of th edeportation proceedings
against Harry Bridges, San Francisco
representative of the C. I. O. longs
shoremen’s union, pending an appeal
of the recent decision of the Circuit
Court of Appeals for the fifth judic
ial circuit which held that member
ship in the Communist party is not
sufficient grounds to order an alien
deported. The decision freed J. G.
Strecker, a restaurant keeper of Hot
Springs, Arkansas, who admitted
membership in the Communist party
and bad been ordered deported. The
deportation hearing had been sched
uled to begin in San Francisco on
April 26. Action against Bridges was
asked on the ground that he is a mem
ber of tbe Communist party. He is a
naturalized Australian, and has lived
*in the United States many years with
out having taken out naturalization
papers.

$5,000 an dtotaling about $2,600,000.
Under the Glass-Steagall law, recent
ly enacted by Congress, an applicant
may have as long as fourteen years in

would enable them to replenish stocks
or purchase improved equipment.
Most of them said the loans would en

Communists Lose
In Senatorial
Election In DL
CHICAGO.—The Communist par
ty of the United States furnished a
large part of the dynamite exploded
in the Illinois primary election cam
paign, which came to a dose April
12. Again it was demonstrated that
it does not pay to be suspected of con
torting with the Reds. Thev are
“pixen,” politically and otherwise, it is
proved once more.
With establishment of the Mid
west Daily Record in Chicago Febru
ary 12, the Communists not only re
newed their "boring from within" tac
tics in organised labor, but broadened
out to include the Democratic party
in the State of Illinois. The Comrades
got themselves all “balled up” and
caused anguish and great grief among
the old line politicians who attempted
to win a few additional votes by ac
cepting Communist support, which is
negligible because the Communists are
nearly all foreign born persons who
have no vote. m

frank discussion of the prob

A colored man said he had a cousin
who used to bootleg and one night
while he was there, the place was
raided and the officers went through
the beds, trunks, woodbox, stoves,
iash pans, in fact tore the place up.
“They didn’t. find any, then?” I
asked.
“No sir, they never found a drop
and he had plenty there,” he remark
ed.
“Well, where did he have it hid
den?” I asked.
“I don’t know,” he replied, “that
boy was sure a heap smarter than
me. Why dawgone, he done sold a
pint while the police was turning
their car around out in front.”
