UNION VICTIM OF TERROR CAMPAIGN—“TORIES” “GANG UP” TO PREVENT FAIR ELECTION Lenoir, October 4, 1943. Hello Bill: 7, Enclosed is a clipping out of LABOR. October 2nd edition. It’s good. Hope you can run it in this week’s edition of Charlotte Labor Journal, for distribution here. Fraternally AL BECK. [From LABOR. Washington, D. C.] LENOIR. N. C., Sept. 29.—Just what workers are up against in small Southern towns dominated by anti-labor employers was graphically demon strated in this “open shop” city. Over 500 workers are employed in the town’s furniture manufacturing plants. Wages are at a sweatshop level—as low as 40 cents an hour. Workers pleaded with the A. F. of L. Carpenters’ Union to come in and organize them, and for many months the union worked at the task. Finally, a National Labor Relations Board election was obtained at the Kent-Coffey Manufacturing Company. Though the management, under the Wagner Act could not interfere, a campaign of anti-union terrorization was launched by other sources. The town's bankers. Chamber of Commerce officials and other em ployer interests propagandized against the union. And to climax the drive, the Lenoir “News-Topic,” daily paper, ran huge scare editorials, smearing organized labor and calling upon the workers to reject the union. Signifi cantly, the paper seized upon the propaganda of Maurice R. Franks, promoter of a fake labor publication known as the “Railroad Workers’ Journal,” and the played it up as an argument against unionism. Naturally, under that barrage, it was impossible for a fair election to be held, and as a result workers voted by 357 to 126 against the union.— Labor, Washington, D. C.

For this he wears the Purple Heart and the Silver Star. Celebrate EumT escape with another \Var Bond. THE LABOR PRESS Year in and year out, the labor press presents the casejor unionism in plain, convincing terms. To the labor press must go much of the credit for public education on labor matters in the last 60 years, and for the changed public sentiment now reflected in legislative and popular recognition of labor’s right to organize and strive for bet ter conditions. aMHMWMMMMMMWMMWWMMMMWMMWMMMMMMMMMMMMM OUT OF EVERY PAY ENVELOPE BUY WAR BONDS NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC THE CHARLOTTE LABOR JOURNAL is the only weekly published in the Piedmont section of North Carolina representing the A.

PHONES 7110 — 7117 A SEAMAN’S SONG I left my girl in Oregon I left my Ma in Maine An’ the sunny face of my native land I carry in my brain. I’ve pitched my tent on the open sea under the lonesome sky An’ my Ma an* my gal an’ my land will live Even if I die. I’d give an arm for a Georgia farm With cotton by the door An’ I’d swap my eyes for Kentucky skies Or the sight of the ’Frisco shore. Oh, give me the lights of Manhattan’s nights ... But I’ll ride the pitching sea Til my Ma, an’ my gal an’ my native land An’ all that I love is free. - nm Let ’em rave, every fascist knave Who ever drew a sword But they all will meet on a dead end street Wheer the grapes of wrath are stored. Let ’em crack the whip, let ’em blast my ship Let ’em fill me full of lead! But my Ma an’ my gal an’ my land will live Even when I’m dead. Sweet as the rai non the Texas plain Is the kiss on my honey’s lips An’ I’ve never seen a Mom like mine An’ I’ve sailed a hundred ships. But sweeter to me than my gal or Mom Or the taste of my daily bread Is my native land, and my land will live Even when I’m dead. You can smash the ships of a thousand trips. Kill a billion men or more But the truth will ride on the swelling tide And make its way to shore. So I’ve pitched my tent on the smashing waves An’ my home is the blazing sea Til Ma an’ my gal and my native land An’ all that I love is free. Irene Pauli, In Midwest Labor. All The Lemon Pies You Want! By BETTY BARCLAY Lemons play a leading role these days for they help through their numerous household uses and cook ing aids, to make work lighter for busy war-time homemakers. There may be many food shortages but the lemon crop promises to meet all fall and winter demands. Every member of the family can have his fill of lemon pie and all the other lemon flavored delicacies of which he is fond. Perhaps in all groups the favorite of favorites is the Lemon Meringue Pie, and by taking three tiny pre cautions, every cook can be sure of serving such a pie with a flaky crust, a fragrantly fresh filling, and a tender, easy-to-cut meringue. First, be sure to add lemon juice and egg to the pastry mix; second, cook filling first, then add freshly squeezed lemon juice after remov ing from the stove; third, add a little lemon juice to the meringue. Here’s the full recipe: Lemon Meringue Pie S cups sifted flour 1 teaspoon salt 1 cup shortening 1 slightly beaten egg 3 tablespoons lemon juice Ice water Sift flour and salt together. Cut in shortening. Add egg, combine with lemon juice. Add gradually just en'—gh ice water to bind dough together. Roll pastry out thin and Hne pie plates. (This recipe makes three 8-inch single pie shellr % Keep unbaked dough in refrigerator until needed.) Bake in hot oven (478 depose F.) for 16 minutes. For filling use: 1 cup water or milk % cup sugar 14 teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon grated lemon peel 5 tablespoons cornstarch Vi cup cold water 2 well-beaten egg yolks 1 tablespoon butter 6 tablespoons lemon juice Bring water or milk, sugar, salt and lemon peel to a boil in sauce pan on direct heat. Add corn starch, blended with % cup cold water. Cook over low heat, until thickened (about 6 minutes), stir ring constantly. Remove from heat. Add separately, mixing well after each addition, the egg yolks, butter and lemon juice. Pour filling Into baked pastry shell. When filling is cool, top with a meringue, made from: 2 egg whites 4 tablespoons sugar 1 teaspoon lemon juice Beat egg whites until frothy. Add sugar gradually. Continue beating but only until egg holds its shape in peaks. Fold in lemon juice. Brown pie in moderate oven (325 degrees F.) for 16 minutes. (Makes one 8-inch pie.) Now that there'll be plenty of lemons on hand, you’ll want to serve lemonade often. For ‘luick lemonade, squeeze out enough fresh lemon juice for 2 or 3 days, then add half as much sugar as you have juice and put it in a covered glass jar in the refrigeraU..•That way it keeps fresh and can be served in a jiffy. When ready to serve, simply add ice and water to the lemonade “starter”. The A. P. OF L.

As an AFL member, you can imagine how proud I was to see that the ciga rettes were a gift from my fellow union members. What made the whole thing even more exciting was that we got the smokes while we were actually under fire on the battlefield.” DEMAND THE UNION LABEL Label in your hat? Label in your shoes?
