WITTER_Editor and Publisher CLAUDE L. ALBEA.-.Aaaodate Editor CHARLOTTE, N. C., THURSDAY, MAY 4, 1939 - -- ALBEA AGAIN “GOES OVER THE TOP” [An editorial The Journal carried in its first issue, May 15, 1931. It was in that campaign that Claude L. Albea first made his bow, and asked suffrage, and each succeeding cam paign has seen him “go over the top." In that year he was third in the voting, in the campaign before this one he “topped the ticket," and in the voting Tuesday he ran only 69 votes behind Councilman Hovis, who becomes vice-mayor, automat ically, and all of this from a sick bed in the Veterans Hospital in Columbia, S. C.) It is with pride and much satisfaction that The Journal extends to Mr. Claude L. Albea congratulations upon his suc cess in his recent race for the City Council, he having, run third in the race. Mr. Albea, who has been our fellow ^craftsman for many years, has always appealed to us by his gentle, manly bearing and sincerity of purpose in his efforts for and with organized labor. He is president at the present time of Cen tral Labor Union of Charlotte. He has been at all times a true-blue union man, having never left the path of conserva tism, and his every endeavor has been to bring employer and employe together, meeting upon common ground and thrshing out problems that at times seemed almost unsolvable. • Mr. Albea is an Oversea boy, bearing marks of the strife of conflict that will go with him to the grave. He is a young man who has struggled, and struggled hard, for every inch of ground he has gained from his childhood up, having had to take up the burdens of the home in his earlyl boyhood. But he took them up, put on the armor and girded up his loins, going forward with a brave heart. Honesty, integrity and sincerity of purpose have been his watchword, and he has not deviated therefrom. He has many friends in Charlotte outside the ranks of organized labor, who recognize in him a young man worthy of any trust that may be imposed upon him. . And with this we greet Mr. Albea and wish for him future success in anything he may undertake. A. F. L. Draftsmen Get Wage Boost In Agreement NEW YORK, N. Y.—J.

Al though most of the business transact ed was not for publication, much hap oened of a publishable character. Bro. Tim Barrett, of the A. F .of L., made a fine address, contrasting the CCLU of but a few years ago, with the re markable growth represented in the calling of the roll of locals by the Sec retary at the meeting. The oratorical powers of Brother Barrett were well known in Charlotte’s labor and fra ternal circles. They were not at all absent in his speech. Delegates not present missed a treat.
