M. WITTER.:...Edlter and PobHeher CLAUDE L. ALREA...Aaooeinto Editor CHARLOTTE, N. C., THURSDAY, JUNE 27, 1940 Every Day Is FLAG DAY I THE FIFTH COLUMN WORKER By H. L PHILLIPS He TAKES all America has to offer with a smile and awaits a chance to return the favor with a machine gun. HE COILS in the flag, hides in the quartet singing the national anthem and crouches behind the Bill of Rights. HE ACCEPTS your invitation to dinner and makes a mental blueprint of your home so he can return and snatch the silver. HE LETS you help him on with his coat while he plans to stea your shirt HE LETS you help him on with his coat while he plans to steal powder it would take to blow up the clubhouse. HE BECOMES your week-end house guest and spends most of the time estimating how good atarget for bombers the children’s bedroom would make. HE APPLAUDS America First program and laughs himself to sleep over the fact his face didn’t betray him. HE STANDS when “The Star Spangled Banner’’ is played, but eases his conscience by assuring himself that he was tired of sitting* anyhow. HE LOOKS like a man, but performs like a rattlesnake. HE SHAKES your hand while his wandering eye measures you for a knife in the back. HE IS THE SKUNK that walks like-a man, the hyena that waltzes like a patriot and the rat that masquerades- as a human being. HE EXPRESSES astonishment at the genius of American in dustry, but puts in plenty of time reporting back to the enemy on weak spots for attack. HE NOT ONLY BITES the hand that feeds him, but eats the other hand for dessert. HE SAYS, "It can’t happen here,” while planning to help the enemy do it. | ■ * • * * HE IS THE KIND of rodent who would accept help from the good Samaritan, ask the Samaritan to wait for him in the corner drug store and then bomb the drug store. HE RENDERS evil for good, thinks the doublecross is the noblest work of man and eats with his knife becaue he never wants to have to depend on a fork when the time comes to stab his host.

Kuester, executive vice-president and business manager of the Chamber of Com merce, and is most fitting at this time, so let’s practice this creed,—Ed.) I am an American The Golden Rule is my rule! In humility and with gratitude to Almighty God, I acknowledge my undying debt To the founding fathers Who left me a priceless heritage Which now is my responsibility. ■ With steadfast loyalty, I will uphold the Constitution And the Bill of Rights. I will treasure my birthright Of American Ideals: I will place moral integrity Above worldly possessions. Problems of interest to my country Shall be of interest to me! I will count my right of suffrage To be a sacred trust. And I will diligently strive To prove worthy of that trust. I will give my full support To upright public servants. But those with unclean hands, 1 will firmly oppose. Each obigation that comes to me As a true American, I will discharge with honor! My heart is in America And America is in my heart! I am an American! (Prom the Bulletin of the Atlantic City Credit Rating Service). LASTING VALUE The successful resistance of the American Federation of Labor to the introduction of Communist purposes and* methods in the labor movement was an outstanding patri otic accomplishment. Its lasting value will be recognized more and more as time passes.—John P. Frey.

TOWARDS LABOR PEACE Tl» International Ladies’ Garment Workers' Union is to be con gratulated on the spirited convention it held this month in New York. It was a convention befitting the vigor and poWer of this great or ganization. The oatstanding decision of this convention is, of course, the one that led it hack into the folds of the American Federation of Labor, Friends of Labor and of peace in the labor movement were uneasy at first reports that this step might be postponed. We are happy that there was no postponement and that this powerful or ganisation is once again affiliated together with us in the American FMtrttion «f Labor. There the International Ladies' Garment Workers ^ Union can be a force only for good. Its entry into the ™ F. of L. almost completely isolates those who oppose labor unity. The day has come when labor leaders who w ould send labor to ig nominious defeat find themselves on a peak of doubtful eminence where they shine by being alone and divorced from the labor move ment—The Hat Worker. ALL BUT ONE MAN IN THE FIREMEN’S LOCAL CHARLOTE The Local Union of Fire Fight ers, organised about three months ago, has affiliated with the State Federation of Labor. This local has 126 members out of a depart ment of 127 men, which is just about as nearly one hundred per cent as an organisation without a closed1 shop agreement can be * --•iTrnnir.~.~A~.~.'. A “GOOD EDITOR”— NO SUCH ANIMAL 4 A good editor is one who has never made a mistake; who has never offended any one; who isw always right; who can ride two horses at the same time he is straddling a fence with both ears to the ground, who always says the right thing at the right time; who always picks the right horse as well as the right poli tician to win; who never has to apologise; who has no enemies and who has worlds of prestige with all classes, creeds and races.

Did you five him a lift? He’s a brother of man. And bearing about all the burden he ran. Did you give him a smile? He was downcast and blue. And a smile might have helped him To battle it through. Did you give him your hand? He was slippiing downhill. And the world, so I fancied. Was using him ill. Did you give him a word, Did you show him the road? Or did you just let him Go on with his load?
