C„ THURSDAY, DECEMBER 7, 1944 WEEKLY BIBLE QUOTATION “The word of God is quick, ami powerful, and sharp er than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the divid ing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and mar row, and is a discover of the thoughts mid intents of the heart.”—St. Paul in Hebrews. BUT THIS IS NORTH CAROLINA Some of the good citizens of this city, in expressing their views on the anti-union amendments to state constitutions, ex press alarm over some things that are being done by labor. They favor such amendment for North Carolina, because of something labor has dime or failed to do in some Northern or mid-Western state. But let us consider things here at home. Does any one in Charlotte know of anything that has been dime by union labor hi North Carolina that would threaten the peace of the state? Does any one in Charlotte know of any “labor racketeer” in the state of North Carolina? One irate citizen said he was startled by the strike of long distance operators in Dayton, Cleveland, Memphis, and other cities. He did not know until we informed him that the telephone workers are members of a company union, and are not affiliated in any way with the trade union movement. Hie telephone com pany has fought the unions down through the years with every weapon at their command. The company fostered the independ ent union, which was nothing more than a company-dominated union, so found to be by the NLR& Now this company union, or independent union, which has no connection whatever with the organized labor movement, turned cm the company. If the telephone workers had been amn bers of a union affiliated with the American Federation of Labor it is reasonable to believe that a settlement of the disputes could have been reached without the strike. It is very unfair to the organized labor movement to eharge it with the misdeeds and strikes and strife of a company-domi nated union. The least that any citizen can do is to inform him seif as to the facts in the case before he undertakes to criticize my movement. ■****•—-- ---1-i-M- -i i__ * Mellon's remains open 'till 9 each evening from Nov. 24 through Dec. 23.

By ROTS TAYLOR The other day I heard a friend whose Judgment I value, say “Mast of •nr troubles, at home as well as abroad, stem from the fact that we don’t like anything that is different.” Take the prosaic question of food—though as one who prides herself •a her cooking, I resent the imputation that food is prosaic. We are set in our tastes by wbat is familiar. My little assistant can’t understand my fondness for frog legs—but doesn’t see why anyone doubts that salt roe and scrambled eggs are the perfect breakfast dish. Remember the com plaint of the British Tommy about caviar—“The bloody Jam tastes of fish!” So R is with people. For example, there is the fsmons story of the Englishman who lived in Paris for twenty years without learning a word of French—he “wasn’t going to encourage them in speaking their silly The poor man rails at the sins of the millionaire. The rich Wan looks at the poor as a weakling. Labor is suspicious of Capital. Canftal fears the strength of Labor. Ton can carry this on indefinitely. We are too apt to try to make ourselves Mg by belittling others. Instead i of frankly and freely admitting that we have a lot to Wain that other peo ple might know, and remembering its correlative thought that maybe we know soms things that it would do them goad to learn, ws shat ourselves ap ,, MMMMmmmnmnmmmnmmmmnmmnmrnn 1 "^****^^^” msommmw hi i mirror-lined room. Wo aood to discard the mirrors, opoo the windows and see what is outside. No group is perfect. No group has all the knowledge. This resentment of difference is not Just a resentment by the msjority. The minorities are Just as quick to condemn or resent any difference on the part of the ma Let as face this problem of differences with some intelligence. None of us can know too much. None of us but who can learn from others. None of ns but who has something to give in exchange. • How about it? The next time you run up against a “different” person, whether his difference be a difference of creed or class or color, can’t you say “Here is my opportunity.” You never can tell—maybe you’ll teach him as much as he will teach you. If you analyse the statement with which I started, you find it boils down to “We don’t like what we don’t know.” In that lies the solution. Knowledge is the key to understanding. It’s hard to dislike someone yoa know well. OUT OF EVERY PAY ENVELOPE “Fight - Work - Save” I THE PLEDGE OF EVERY LOYAL A. F.
