The Charlotte Labor Journal AND DIXIE FARM NEWS • Hond-cJiN uwr. S«i>t< at March I. 1«7». U.-1MI. at tto ha Otttn at M. 0 ». II. WITTEK... JLAUDS L. ALBEA.. .Editor Pablultor CHARLOTTE, N. C., THURSDAY, DECEMBER 22, 1938 A MERRY CHRISTMAS THE JOURNAL WISHES ITS READERS AND ADVER TISERS A MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR, and thanks those who have co-operated with it and made its pub lication possible. Nineteen hundred and thirty-eight has seen a greater labor movement grow up in Charlotte; it has seen the ’ranks of organized workers in the A. F. of L. treble in member ship; it has seen new locals formed, and the 'Old Guard, with iffie aid*of new recruits can look back on the past 12 months with a sense of duty well performed, and a feeling of fellowship and co-operation existing that has seldom been our lot in years gone by. The New Year holds out to the labor movement a promising field for conservative organization activities. Little petty jealous ies and hatreds have never gotten those indulging in/them any where; nor has the “I don’t want to play in your back yard theory advanced any movement; those seeking power for themselves, and downfall'for those whom they dislike, will also never tend to the uplift of any movement, church, fraternal, professional, union, The Journal has followed for eight straight Christmas’ the custom of thanking those who have forgotten its faults, overlooked its shortcomings, and gone down the line with it. It has en deavored to befriend its friends at all limes, but has never rele gated the cause it espouses to that end. it has preached the doc trine of the A. F. of L. when the days were dark, and dreary seemed the way, but it has been rewarded by seeing the good old labor ship weather the gales and with a new day breaking sees it coming safely into port under its own steam. Let’s get this old, staunch A. F. of L. craft repaired; a new plank put in here and there; a new screw and bolt where needed, and other little altera tions which will make it a stronger and better ship upon which to make the journey through the churning sea. We can not go back, we must go forward. Let’s profit by the mistakes we have made; they have not been a liability, but if properly handled will prove an asset, with a dividend. Again, until Thursday, January 5th, THE JOURNAL WISHES YOU ONE AND ALL A MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR. AND “30” FOR 1938. THANKS FOR THE CARDS The Christmas cards coming into the Journal office rapid fire remind us of our friends, scattered here and there, and mak ing us realize that we are not forgotten. From California to Maine they come, many from the old home town, and more than many from throughout the Carolinas. All of which gives us a feeling of confidence and renewed strength for the 1939 adven ture. Your Men’s Gift For Christmas SHIRTS HATS $ TIES V SOCKS Etc. National f-fat^hops 108 S. TRYON ST.
