CITY, COUNTY, STATE EMPLOYES
HAVE OPEN MEETING-MANY
speakers Address gathering
There was a feast of reason, a flow
of wit, and plenty of fried fish at the
gathering of the City, County and
State Employes Union at the hall on
Belmont Avenue and Pegram Streets
Monday night. While the menu did not
run from fish to nuts, there was
plenty of slaw and coffee provided.
The remarks of the speakers ran from
the humorous to the serious, and it
was not until nearly 11 o’clock that
the boys broke ranks.
George J. Kendall, grand lodge
1 epresentative, presided in his usual
inimitable way, and everyone was
happy.
Mayor Ben Douglas made the main
address, and short talks were given
by the following guests:
J. S. Nance, J. S. Ward, W. N.l
Hovis, Roy Hudson, J. E. Armstrong,
J. B. Vogler, Parks Little, E. L. Bark
ley, of the Machinists’ local, W. M. i
Witter, editor of The Labor Journal,!
J. A. Moore, H. A. Stalls, and Claude
L. Albea, former presidents of the
Central Labor Union.
Delegates from Union and Gaston
county lodges attended.
More than 200 were present, and
in addition to a discussion of prob
lems involving the two groups, there
was placed on display the working
model locomotive, made by R. E.
Thompson, of Lamar avenue, after
four years’ work.
A string band wafTTn-feand and fur
nisted excellent music for the occa
sion.
THE UNION LABEL AND DEFENSE
Taken from Radio Address by
I. M. ORNBURN
Secretary -Treasurer, Union Label Trades Department
American Federation of Labor
While the military forces are being emphasized at this time, we
must not overlook the essential factors of industrial and agricultural
preparedness. Industry and transportation must be manned by well
paid workers so that the purchasing power will maintain an evenly
balanced business economy. Any proposal to reduce the income of
essential workers to the level of the soldier or sailor, who is furnished
food, clothing, and shelter, would greatly jeopardize the prosperity of our
nation. It would decrease the total income of workers to a point where
it would reduce purchasing power to a depression level. Industry
would not have sufficient income to pay sufficient taxes required for
the huge cost of our total defense program.
The Union Label Trades Department of the American Federation
of Labor has constantly urged that American consumers buy American
made and union-label products. We believe this would create greater
economic stability for American industries and at the same time sustain
to maintin business and industry on an even keel of prosperity. If, on
the other hand, all workers and farmers, for example, were paid at the
same rate as the soldier in our Army, we would be thrown into a de
pression so panicky that it would endanger the economic security of
America.

JUDGE SIMS
IS RECRUITING
FOR THE ARMY
Mark up five more to watch the
ramparts. They went from City Re
corder’s Court Monday morning, mak
ing more than 30 men that Judge Sims
has headed toward patriotism and top
sergeants.
Ail of them were pretty good boys
—just sort of on the loose and fight
******
ing a losing game with liquor. The
judge put no pressure on them, mere-1
ly suggested that those that qualified
who wanted to join the army could
sit over in that corner. One fellow
said that he had been thinking about
it to go back. The others said they
had been thinking about it, and it
was okay by them.
“You don’t have to,” the Judge
said, “but if you like that way out,
you can take it. You’ll be better off,
anyway, with a year’s training.”
All of them seemed quite proud of
the opportunity.—News.
MY OLD DAWG
There’s some o’ the setter about him,
An’ a bit o’ the p’inter, too;
He’s brown an’ he’s white an’ he’s mottled—
He’s most ev’ry color but blue;
But it ain’t jest the hide that’s aroun’ him,
An’ it aint jest the things y’ can see •
That makes me fergit he’s a mongrel;
It’s the heart of him, beatin’ fer me.
1 guess thet we’re most of us lonesome,
An’ we want things that’s jest fer ourself;
We kinda want somethin’ to tie to
When we’re ole-like an’ laid on the shelf;
We kinda want somethin’ to love us;
To stick, when the worl’ doesn’t gee,
An’ so long’s I’ve got him, I’m happy
Thet there’s jest my ol’ dawg—an’ me.
’Cause someway he sure understands me;
He knows thet I ain’t never done much;
He knows thet I ain’t been no genius,
Or millionaire cap’n or such;
An’ I know thet he’s jest a mongrel,
Thet he aint got no family tree.
But we’re both jest as happy an’ tickled
As if we was all pedigree!
An’ I guess that’s the secret of livin’
T be glad fer th’ things thet y’ve got;
T stay in yer place an’ be thankful
Fer th’ right t’ do best with y’re lot.
So me an’ my dawg are plum grateful,
An’ tickled t’ death as we be
cause I’m satisfied jest t’ have him,
An’ he’s satisfied with jest me.
—Courtney Ryley Cooper.
SOLDIERS’ JOBS
ARE TO BE KEPT
BY THE COUNTY
Employees of the Mecklenburg
County Government who enlist or
who are drafted for military service
will find their jobs waiting for them
when they return.
The County Commissioners adopted
a resolution to that effect Monday. It
was offered by Commissioner Harvey
Morris. ... .
The resolution stated that employes
who have already enlisted or who may
enlist later will be privileged to re
turn to their former jobs and former
salaries.
“UNION LABEL”
IN JAIL IN TENN.
EXTRA! The “Union Label” is
in the Davidson County Jail, but
isn’t singing “The Jail House
Blues,” for the very good reason
that its entry into the “County
Bastile” is a happy and unusual
event.
Here’s the story:
Last week our good friend Bob
Marshall, now Sheriff of the Coun
ty, completely outfitted the Jail, in
cluding “Union Made” uniforms for
the prisoners and the bedding
equipment. We saw the happy
transformation with our own eyes,
due to a tip given to us by Gerald
Foley, President of the Tennessee
Federation of Labor and Business
Representative for Plumbers’ Local
Union No. 332.
Leaders at the Labor Temple are
very much pleased that the A. F.
of L. “Union Label” is in the
Davidson County Jail and hope that
it has been given a life sentence
there.
Congratulations, Sheriff Mar
shall and Chief Deputy Charles I
Smith, you have indeed made a
good start in office. May you and
your entire official “force” always
keep in such close touch with our
“Union Label!”—Trades and Labor
News, Nashville, Tenn.
Three hundred Maryland National
Guard trucks were stopped at a
bridge for toll over the Susquehanna
river, while on their way to recent
mahoeuvers. As no money had been
authorized for the purpose, the fleet
was re-routed.
