CHEAP LABOR, CHEAP WORKERS, CHEAP BUSINESS
Cheap labor not only makes cheap workers, but makes
cheap business for any city or community. Cheap labor
makes for cheap jobs. Cheap jobs mean little money for the
storekeeper, butcher and the baker. Ask the merchant if
he prefers WPA to well paid laborers.

“E. Gail Barker, Regional Director for the State of North Caro
lina, has had the hardest nut to crack in the South, yet through
his devotion to duty and diplomatic handling of the affairs of the
League, great progress has been made. Remnants of the spirit of
the ante-bellum days remain more pronounced. in North Carolina
than in any other state south of the Mason-Dixon line. The old
slave owners ruled the lives of their chattle slaves, herded them,
fed and housed them, the same as they herded, fed and housed their
livestock.

“In spite of all of these difficulties Mr. Barker has made great
progress. With his training in the Typographical Union, and with
the fine environment of The Raleigh News and Observer where he
has worked so long, Mr. Barker is an ideal man for this work of
Labor’s League for Human Rights. The Raleigh News and Ob
server has fought the battles of the common man for half a century,
and has done more than any other influence in the state to elimi
nate the practice of paternalism and establish in its stead a popula
tion of citizens who think for themselves.
“The Labor League for Human Rights will do its best work in the
state of North Carolina, and its formation and activities in this
state will become an outstanding influence in the advancement of
the Old North St^te.”
So long as we have held fast to voluntary principles
and have been actuated and inspired by the spirit of serv
ice, we have sustained our forward progress and we have
made our Labor Movement something to be respected and
accorded a place in the councils of our Republic. . No
lasting gain has ever come from compulsion. If we seek to
force, we but tear apart that which otherwise, is invin
cible.—Samuel Gompers.
