C., THURSDAY, JANUARY 28, 1943 BIBLE THOUGHT “Make a joyful noise unto the Lord, all ye lands. Serve the Lord with gladness: come before his pres ence with singing. Know ye that the Lord he is God. . . . Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name. For the Lord is good; his mercy is everlast ing: and his truth endureth to all generations.”— Psalmist. TO MAKE NORTH CAROLINA GREATER DR. FRANK GRAHAM FOR SENATE This is merely a passing thought: We know very little about politics and stay clear of it, but when we heard that Senator Bob Reynolds would probably run for United States Senate again, we immediately felt, with most of the other people in North Carolina, that any one of our representative leaders would be a tremendous improvement, but we still cannot refrain from having this passing thought—which is only a dream, we admit, but can you imagine what brilliance and prestige would come to our state in Wash ington if we exchanged a BOB REYNOLDS FOR A DOCTOR FRANK GRAHAM?. We admit (hough, it is probably too much to hope for—but a fellow can dream—can’t he? HERE’S ONE FOR WESTBROOK PEGLER Secretary of the Navy Frank Knox sent the following letter to Wyman E. Fincham, President of Electric Crane Operators Union No. 251 of the I.B.E.W. (A.F. of L.) at the Washington Navy Yard, who celebrated his 27 anniversary as a civilian employe of the Navy Department by participat ing in the January 3, 1943, Labor for Victory N.B.C. radio program: Dear Mr. Fincham: With your six sons in the armed services of the United States—five in the Coast Guard, and one in the Army—you fully appreciate the necessity of supplying our fighting men with the weapons of war on time. Your appearance on the A. F. of L. “Labor for Victory” radio program should serve as a forceful reminder of the close bond of kinship that exists between our fighting men and our war production workers. As president of your A. F. of L. Local, you can do much to give your membership the . ight kind of wartime labor leadership, so that production will increase to the utmost. Congratulations on your twenty-seven years of faithful serv ice as a civilian employee of the Navy Department. Sincerely, (s) FRANK KNOX. 1943 TAX LISTING Law requires that all property not exempted by law be listed as of January 1st, 1943, during January only, by the title holder; new buildings and additions costing more than $100, personal property and polls for all male persons 21 to 50 years.

During weeks preceding the Conference dates the Labor papers not only gave full publicity to the coming event, but urged through editorial columns strong appeals for Local Unions in their respective territories to send full delegations to the Conference! Since the Conference the Labor papers have carried the Conference proceedings and findings to the workers throughout the twelve states represented at the Atlanta meeting. George L. Googe, Southern Rep resentative of the American Federation of Labor, expressed deep ap preciation to the editors of the Labor papers for their whole-hearted support of the Conference and their further services in spreading the news of the Conference actions to the workers throughout the South. “The Labor papers have done an outstanding job,” Mr. Googe said. “I am glad that we have so many strong Labor papers, and I hope for the coming of the day when our members will give full support to the Labor press.” I FAST AND FURIOUS Keep your temper, gentle sir, Writes the manufacturer, Though your goods are overdue, For a month or maybe two. We can’t help it, please don’t swear Labor’s scarce and metal’s rare. Can’t get steel, can’t get dies These are facts; we tell no lies. Sam’s drafted, so is Bill, All our work is now uphill, So your order, we’re afraid, May be still a bit delayed. We are fuming, toiling, fretting Because of goods that we ain’t getting, Still you’ll get it, don’t be vexed, Maybe this month, maybe next. We’re but human, just like you, And, no matter what we do, Someone says we’re full of bunk, That we’re holding back his junk, Swears at us in accents torrid. (What they say is simply ’orrid) While every day—and this ain’t spurious. We’re shipping goods out fast and furious! —Southern Labor Review, Birmingham, Ala. ..—......

PERTINENT COMMENT By Charlotte Labor Journal Staff Writer DID THE MARINES UNLOAD THEIR OWN SUPPLIES? Our own Charlotte News ran a story which was supposed to have come from a mid-western paper which was supposed to have been told by some unidentified Marines that our soldiers had to unload some freight in the Solomons because it was Sunday and because, so the story goes, the union workers refused to unload the stuff on Sunday. Of course, the greatest exponent of the unverified rumor and the stories from unidentified people is the Chicago Tribune, but it is our guess that that story originated in Berlin on some propa ganda wave length. No responsible Army official or Marine officer has verified it, and in examining the rules of the Merchant Marine Union there is nothing which says unloading is not lawful on Sunday. Of all the branches of workers, the Maritime Union was the ' most ridiculous to select for this “sensation”—THESE UNION WORKERS ARE THE FIRST TO DIE—as they bring the stuff across the oceans—and ITS CASUALTY TOLL NOW IS CLOSE TO FOUR THOUSAND DEAD—which is the highest CASUALTY LIST IN PROPORTION TO ANY OTHER SERVICE. What verified reports there have been of UNION WORKERS REPOSES IN THE OFFICIAL FILES OF WAKE ISLAND WHERE THE UNION LABORERS DIED OR WERE CAPTURED FIGHTING AFTER THEY HAD COMPLETED THEIR AP POINTED TASKS OF WORKING. Such stories must needs be verified before the PATTER SONS, WHEELERS, REYNOLDSES AND OTHER ADMINIS TRATION HATERS CAN “GO TO TOWN” IN HIGH GLEE. -v MASTER RACE GETS SHELLACKING Hitler would boil us in oil for using such undignified language about the HERRENVOLK. That’s a German word Hitler has been using meaning “Master Race.” The RAF is blasting Berlin—the Russians are slowly killing them off on the Russian snows and it wont be long before the Englishman Montgomery and the American Eisenhower chase Rommell into the sea. This must all be a great shock to those singers of “We are by birth, the masters of the world.” That’s a line from Hitler’s Horst Wessell song. Let us tell you very briefly about Horst WesselL He is the Diety of the German Fascists and no meeting of Hitler and his cohorts gets under way before they all bow their heads in a moment of silence for Mr. Horst. Here in North Carolina, Mr. Wessell would never have had a chance to become a patron saint of anything because he would have been in the state gas chamber before his 21st birthday. We have very strict laws about gents going about pandering-girls of 12 and 13 and 14, and that is just how this herald of the Master Race made his living in Munch between the ages »f 18 and 21. The Nazis developed a great weapon of offense when their dive bombers swooped over Warsaw, Rotterdam, France, Norway and Greece—but it is our prediction that before this war is over, these same Nazis will curse the day that the aeroplane was invented at all. Many many days they of the “‘Master Race” will look in the Berlin skies and they’ll not be bale to see the sunlight for the planes that will hide its view—that is what will happen to the Herrevolk—and instead of singing that last line from Mr. Horst Wessel’s song—“Today Germany—Tomorrow, the World,” they’ll just be hoping for a little piece of Germany where they could hide from the wrath of an outraged world and a betrayed civilization. 1 LOOK OUT! WHY FUSES “BLOW” Most frequently fuses blow because of worn out, damaged or loosely-connected extension cords, because of shorted ap pliances, or because circuits have been overloaded with too many appliances and lights.
