Hie Charlotte Labor Journal AND DBS FARM NIW1 0apBONB t>M4 WAGE EARNERS: Men and Woan spend your wages in the city where you lire, always remember ing that The Dol lar That Goes the Farthest M the Dol lar That Stays at Home.” The Labor Journal will not be responsible for opinions ***r"P»“d«t«- If y»e sot get your paper drop a postal to the Editor and he will see that you do. We believe in American business and Aamricaa Workers. We believe that a just share of the profits which the workers help produce, should be given the worker, for without this benefit, lasting prosperity cannot be assured. Hie Labor Journal is true to the American ideala of Government and believe that the people of America under their own Democracy are capable of solving their own prob lenm in their own way, without aid of philosophies that run counter to our demonstrated form of government. We be lieve in the Constitution of the United States and in the Stare and Stripes, its official emblem. We are opposed of Nazism, Communism, Fascism, and all other “lama* that seek to destroy and undermine our Democratic form of government. Were it not for the labor preas the labor move ment would not be what it is today, and any aum Who tries to injure a labor paper is a traitor to the cams. —Pros. Gompera. CHARLOTTE, N. C., THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 13, 1941 BIBLE THOUGHT “And He showed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb. In the midst of the street of it, and on .either side of the river, was there the tree of life, which bare twelve manner of fruits and yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.” Revelation 22:1-2. UNIONISM CAN ONLY LIVE WHERE MEN ARE TRUE We in America and the working people in particular stand immovably in opposition to totalitarianism and tat de fense of democracy. We do that for national reasons as well as for economic reasons. We have learned from a study of the situation that trade unionism can only flourish and live where men are free. Freedom is the basis upon which our government rests. Our democratic trade unions cannot live, they cannot exist under the totalitarian form of government, for the record shows that the dictator attacked, first of all, the trade unions when he seized power.—William Green. $90 Trade-In For Your Old RADIO On This New 1941 RCA Model 17K i Regu'ar Price *79— Less Trade-In J20— You Pay *59* “irs to PAY THE HAVERTY WAY” See the new 1941 RCA Radio with all the latest improvements.

OF L; 5-MAN BOARD; CHANGE UNIT RULE MIAMI, Fla., Feb. 10—Reorganiza tion of the National Labor Relations board has made unnecssary several procedural amendments previously sponsored by the American Federa tion of Labor, but a new list has been drawn up, a spokesman for the execu tive council of that group said here yesterday. The proposed amendments would the spokesman said: 1. Increase the membership of the Labor board from three to five mem bers, even though the A. F. L was represented as being satisfied with the attitude of a majority of the present board. Jl. Revise the present unit rule so tnat any craft union, already operat ing within an industrial plant, could dec'de for itself whether it would be included in an election called to select a bargaining agency for the plant or industry, 8. Give a union the right to appeal directly to the courts from the board’s decision on any representation case MM such as the ruling that longshoremer on the entire Pacific coast should vote as one unit in choosing a bargaining agency. 4. Prevent the board’s upsetting what the A. F. L. considers bona fide contracts between union and employ er. 5. . Compel the board to recognize a union as a bargaining agency for one year, once it had been designated, and thus prevent too frequent elec tions. 6. Require the board to designate a bargaining agency within 30 days after an election, even though the los ing union entered a protest against the conduct of the election. ■ The spokesman said the proposed | amendments substantially in this i form would be approved by the execu tive council, but added that the fed eration had not yet sounded out the Roosevelt administration on its pres ent attitude toward amending the labor law. The council’s two-week mid-winter meeting starts tomorrow. A WORD TO ADVERTISERS THE CHARLOTTE LABOR JOURNAL IS PRINTED IN ITS ENTIRETY IN CHARLOTTE AND MECKLENBURG COUNTY.
