I QUESTION WWWWW I BY WM. S. GREENE . HOLIDAY? There will be no meet* ing of the Charlotte Central Labor Union, until January 8rd, the first Wednesday in the New Year. The last meeting proved that Christmas has an appeal in this neighborhood that transcends everything else at (his time. It’s too bad, it isn’t the same in Russia, or Germany. The writer noticed a splendid quotation on the bulletin board of the little church at Seventh and College as fol lows: “True religion is the founda tion of all decent civilization.” Per haps Hitler and Stalin could learn from this little church. They will in a few years anyway. May all of you enjoy the Christmas holidays. They can't. STAR-GAZING? Take a good look at the heavens tonight about 12 P. M. The same constellations are in the heavens that were there 1,939 years ago. See the beauty of the con stellation “Orion.” It is easy to iden tify by the three stars in a line that constitute the belt of the hunter. Last night, with a new moon, the stars shone more brillianly than in some time, as the atmosphere is particularly clear because of the winter draught. If you are especially interested, you can pick out four planets visible to the naked eye. And you can see Jup iter, who now has 11 discovered sat ellites or moon going around it. What does this all mean in a Labor paper? Nothing at present, hat no one knows what it might mean in the future. The discovery of some 16 new heavy stars may also not mean anything industrially at present. But if the se cret of why one cubic inch of their bulk weighs some thousands of tons should be found, it might revolution ize industry, and therefore every jur isdiction of any union. And the beauty of the heavens is enough to pay to take a good look at such a sight every night. DRAMA? The bouquet for the week goes to the sailors of Great Britain who chased one of the Ger man pocket battleships into a neutral harbor, where it was finally blown up, rather than intern same. The whole story is drama of the purest kind; from the original attack by the battle ship on a cruiser and its merchant ship, to the chase, to the retreat into that neutral port, to the final sinking of the pocket-ship, instead of going to certain death outside the harbor, or being internaed. Of all the reasons advanced for the sinking, I have still to see the one that it is perfectly pos sible: Internment might have meant| some day, the battleship could have been used against Germany. Before the end of the last war, practically every country in the world was at war with Germany, for one reason or an WWW HOLIDAY GREETINGS Charlotte Fish & Oyster Co. 300 E.

That is a bad state to be ih, because they' are going to have defeats as well as vic tories. VINDICATED? It is interesting to note the kind of evidence being brought out before the NR LB hear ing of the Great Southern Trucking Company. Laws must be obeyed, whether you like them or not, as this columnist has always contended. Every A. F. of L. man m Charlotte should be watching this trial from many standpoints. The speed of the whole affair Bhould be watched, since the strike started September 6th. The evidence should be read carefully. The impartial conduct of the trial should be watched. And the result of this trial, with whatever stalling after that by the lawyers of the defense should be followed, as that is usually where the working man gets it in the neck, not being able to hold out econ omically by himself. This last cau tion, is one good reason for unions I have not as yet seen Westbrook Peg ler, columnist, enlarge upon. DALLAS BAKERS WIN SEVEN DALLAS, Texas. — The Bakery Workers’ Union, Local 111, achieved another record of progress in the con summation of union agreements with the Taystee Bakery, Mrs. Baird’s Bakery, Goldman’s Bakery and Cliff Make Bakery to bring the total to seven. Pearce, :of Winston, Charlotte Visit o r During Past Week Leon (Sally) Pearce, of Winston, well known in printing circles in this section, a farmer Charlotte boy, who has been anchored in Winston-Salem, lo these many years, was a visitor, along with the Madame, last week, and their many friends were glad to see them. Sally is a little more ro tund than in former days, but is car rying his “age” gracefully. His visit to The Journal was appreciated and a little ruminating and reminiscing was indulged in, that is going over the “good old days” when printing in Charlotte was crude, compared with today. Always glad to see you, Leon. Come again. No Central Body Meeting This Week Or the Week After — I As published last week, there will be no meeting of Centrtal Labor Un ion until Wednesday, January 3rd, when the hard dig for 1940 will be gin, with much work in prospect for that body and its various committees, and while 1939 has been one of prog ress in organizational work it is hoped that 1940 will show a greater gain.
