SAVE WITH U. S. WAR BONDS EVERYDAY... EVERY PAYDAY... AT LEAST 10% AND MORE! MORE ON “POISON PEN PEGLER” ; A Georgia liberal preacher wrote the Editor of the “Atlanta Constitution” to throw Pegler out. The Editor replied: Dear Mr. D. L. W.: I don’t like Pegler any better than you do but I do think it is a mistake to take him out, as I believe people have a right to read him and form their opinions of him and what he says. The Richmond Times'-Dispatch kept Pegler out five days and then put him back. A great many of the people who wanted him back said they didn’t like him but still wanted to know what dangerous things he was thinking. To this letter the preacher replied: “I am glad you do not like Pegler . . . And I suppose you don’t like Hitler any better than I do—but you, no doubt, would insist on Hitler’s right to be heard, and the people’s right to “read him and form their own opinions" in the American press. You would insist that Hitler has the right to poison, split, sow confusion, etc., by his propaganda in the Ameri can newspaper, I take it . . . „ You know as well as I do that the cry of “freedom of speech from the fascist camp is a mockery. Look at Warsaw, at Denmark, Norway, France . . . Do you suppose those people now would argue for the right of the Quisilings to be heard, or the Petains or Lavals, or their like . . . Yes, the Hitler agents always sow confusion, split the people, in laying the founda tions for their final blow. The Peglers are apt and efficient agents at that job. And you defend them in doing it. Yes, over the head of the courageous editor of the Times-Dispatch Pegler is put back. He was put back because of economic pressure from groups like the National Manufacturers Association, Chamber of Commerce and other big business elements who generally control our American press. Please, don’t act so lamblike and innocent about this newspaper business. You know who controls the press as well as I do, as well as a growing num ber of American people know. So Pegler is back—Pegler the darlmg of Union Proud Of Seabee Members —V— NEW YORK. — Members of the Dock and Pier Carpenters Union, Local 1456, (AFL), are pointing with pride to the more than 100 former members serving overseas with the Seabees and in other branches of the 1 armed services. Members of the union who were carpenters and construction workers with many years of experience in New York’s harbors and along the water front have won the praise of their comrades at arms, especially for the work done during the Sicilian invasi THE JOURNAL has by far the largest city circulation of any weekly pabliahed in Char lotte.

Reports reaching the union dis close that the Seabees were among the first to land on the machine gun infested shores of the island and that the union men displayed great cour age as they proceeded with their work of constructing beachheads for land ing parties in the face of heavy enemy fire. This is confirmed by the Navy. Warittaar SpmeMe Plmme Convenient Terms PARKER-GARDNER CO. lit W.

He has just that much more power to do Hitler’s work, sow confusion, iplit the people at a time when UNITY is the moat crying need, the most urgent necessity to win this war against Hitler. If yon guys insist on keeping him in your papers it looks like you prould at least use his columns to show him up and expose him for what ie is—that is if you really don’t like him any more than I do. If I didn’t lave the power to kick him out, I’d resenre the right to tell the people of my paper what Pegler is aiming at—that is, if I could still keep my job and vrite like that.” _ _ . These are fighting words—and labor endorses every word of fighting, lumanitarian, peoples’ preacher. LATE UNION LEADERS HONORED BY SHIPS LAUNCHED LABOR DAY WASHINGTON, D.
