OUR POLICY To create a better under* standing between Labor, Industry and the Public. OUR AIM--. To influence Public Opinion in favor of the Organized Labor Movement. CHARLOTTE, N. C„ THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 24, 1942 WEEKLY BIBLE QUOTATION We can listen to our conscience, it is God’s voice. Don’t go against it: I vrill hear what God the Lord wiU speak.— Psalm 85:8. , The Musicians Union Controversy Mr. Petrillo of the Musicians Union has had even a worse “press” than Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt and that is saying some thing. Most of the criticism directed against Petrillo has been about the big salary he gets; and then, they criticize the action taken by his Union; which is a gross contradiction. If Mr. Petrillo makes so much salary he certainly would be the last one in the world to jeopardize his job by doing something that his huge membership does not want, but we all know the action he takes is the majority policy voted by his quarter of a million members. There has been much tear shedding over the fact that Mr. Petrillo stopped a group of child musicians from giving a public performance. George Bernard Shaw once said, “no child musi cian should dare perform before an audience of one or one thou sand until he has become an artist”; and there was no tear shedding over the thousands and thousands of musicians, married men with children to feed, who for years walked the streets with their instrument under their arm (when it was not in the pawn shop), looking for work. There did not exist in our country a mote under-fed and under-privileged group than our professional musicians, until a strong union gave them a chance for their lives. H’Ya Messrs. Pegler and Kaltenborn? What would these gentry have written and broadcast if suddenly it were discovered that a powerful labor union had had a secret agreement with another powerful labor union in NAZI GERMANY for the purpose of establishing a trust for the monopoly of labor in a highly specialized industry. Would they have gone to town on that one? Brother, you tell ’em. But—sh—sh—sh—not a word—from either of them; And in the papers—way back there yonder in among the want ads—is the information that two large industrial concerns have been on the carpet for having agreements with two other companies in the lar<i of our enemies to create a monopoly on some highly specialized industrial products. But maybe, Pegler will soon find himself some unscrupulous labor organizer somewhere, who charged some labor spy an $8.00 fee or something.

BUY WAR BONDS AND STAMPS ^BONDS PUTTING 10% OF YOUR EARNINGS INTO WAR BONDS ISNTSACRIFICE...It's Savins! Let** not kid ourselves. Our buying War Bonds isn*t a sacrifice even though the money** badly needed for our country’s Victory. We’re not giving anything; we’re being paid for lending. The Government even guarantees to return our money safe and sound—plus interest. So where does the sacrifice come in? It doesn’t! Unless you think taking a bus in* stead of your car compares with wading across a river with a Jap machine gun pouring bullets at you . . . Unless you think resting on your porch in the evening instead of going out on a party compares with crouching on your Imft «l| night in a mud-upholstered fox hole . . . Unless you think spending less and saving more compares with risking your life for your coun try .. . Nobody thinks so. “Risking your life for your country” is a privilege that we who are left behind would gladly share, if we could. And that’s why, if anybody’s been buying a Bond now and then and thought he was doing his part, he’s been kidding himself. That’s why, unless we want Hitler and the Japs to come over and take-—not borrow—100 percent of what we’ve built in a free America, we’d better put at least 10 percent of our pay into War Bonds every pay day.
