WEEKLY BIBLE QUOTATION
. “Although the fig tree shall not blossom, neither shall fruit be
on the vines: the labor of the olive shall fail, and the field shall yield
no meat; the flock shall be cut off from the fold, and there shall be
no herd in the stalls; yet I will rejoice in the Lord. I will joy in the
God of my salvation.”
A THOUGHT FOR TODAY
Those who yelled loudest that the President “will call off
the November elections,” will soon wish that he had done so.
MR. PEGLER COMES OUT OF HIDING
, Westbrook Pegler will now have to change the form letter
he sends out in answer to those who question his motives in his
anti-union labor columns.
He usually says something to the effect that he is merely
against union racketeers; which of course, is merely a sub
terfuge on the part of Mr. Pegler. It is like being against ill
health—WHO ISN’T?
Every union man is against union racketeers, every doctor
is against the quack who occasionally brings disgrace to their
great profession, and every lawyer is against the shyster who
will do anything for a dollar.
But now, Mr. Pegler must come out from behind the dis
guise. He has shown his colors.
In his syndicated column of July 25th, Mr. Pegler goes on
as the new champion of the unorganized workers and he makes
five references, far from complimentary to “Unions,” “Labor
Unions,” “Unioneers”—
No longer the subterfuge about fighting union racketeers,
but just plain, “Unions,” “Labor Ujtfons,” “Unioneers”—Yea,
Mr. Pegler is against them, and his open declaration is at least
more honest than many others who are fighting Labor Unions,
but who still hide behind some sort of lie, in their attempt to get
at the unions.
Mr. Pegler is shedding tears for the unorganized workers.
Why should union members get certain benefits while the great
bulk of unorganized workers do not participate.
What a wondeful thing it would be if we could all hear Mr.
Pegler’s answer to this one, “Do you want the organized workers
to disband to be ‘even’ with the unorganized workers, or would
you like to see the unorganized workers, unionized to be ‘even’
with the union members?”
T. D. Kemp, Jr., Of The Observer Is Elated
Mr. Kemp in his column the other day is delighted with
the speech delivered by Secretary of State Mr. Hull. Delighted
because Mr. Hull’s speech did not make any pointed reference
to a future “brotherhood” or “Union of Nations” to hold the
peace of the future world.
Of course, Mr. Kemp knows no mre than any of us just
what the people of the world who are fighting this war will do
after our VICTORY will have been won, but we would like to
make one bet with him—that fifty years hence—the speech of
Henry Wallace will be required reading in the high schools of
the world, and that speech made many references to a world
ruled by a feeling of “brotherhood.”
What is wTrong with at least thinking about it? Does it not
follow, that, hope kept alive constantly has a better chance of
realization than if it were submerged?
Many men, the great minds of this earth, have had visions
of such a brotherhood of nations. Socrates, Plato, Shakespeare,
Hugo Grotius, Jan Smuts, Woodrow Wilson, and above all of
the w’orld thinkers, were the words of Christ who everlastingly
spoke of a “Fatherhood of God and Brotherhood of Man.” Who
can interpret that as meaning anything else than a so-called
“League of Nations.” We like to play with the thought that had
William Randolph Hearst, and Senators Brandegee, Lodge, Borah,
Johnson and Reed, been dead when WOODROW WILSON re
turned from Europe with his Article X, of the League of Na
tions, there would have been no HITLER, no Mussolini, no
Hirohito and no war. Who can possibly prove otherwise?

CENTRAL LABOR BODY MEETING
The Central Labor Union body of Charlotte had its regular weekly
meeting Wednesday, July 29th at the Labor Temple. Mr. J. A. Scoggins,
our President, opened the meeting at 8 P. M. A word is necessary about
Mr. Scoggins—all he has to do is take care of his own business and affairs
and his family, sit on the RATIONING BOARD of Charlotte, answer
thousands of questions pertinent to labor and union affairs, and then
preside at the Central Body meetings. Quite a man—but that is the
opinion of anyone and everyone who knows J. A.
Mr. Bill Green, the secretary was on hand his usual smile was very
much in Evidence. He is still acting very proud about his brother’s picture
in a leading national magazine as one of NORTH CAROLINA’S contribu
tion to our flying forces.
Most of the work of the meeting was devoted to the preparation of
the ASHEVILLE CONVENTION of the State Federation of Labor. Mr.
Blackwelder of the National Post Office Clerks, had some interesting high
lights on the South Carolina convention of the Post Office Clerks and we
will give a detailed report on the work accomplished there in our next issue.
The Central LABOR UNION of Charlotte heartily endorsed the recent
statement of Mr. William Green, President of the A. F. of L. to the effect
that our WAR EFFORT becomes the paramount business of every meet
ing, every convention and every member of the A. F. of L.
