THE CHARLOTTE LABOR JOURNAL AND DIXIE FARM NEWS Published at Charlotte, North Carolina H. A. SUlla, Editor and Publisher W. M. Witter, Associate Editor Entered as second-class mail matter September II, 1981, at the iPoet Office at Charlotte, N. C., under the Act of Congress of March 8. 1879. __ Oldest Bona Fide AFL Newspaper in North Carolina, consistently ■erring the American Federation of Labor and its members since it was founded.

MEMBER SOUTHERN LABOR PRESS ASSOCIATION RESPONSIBLE “LET THE SUNLIGHT OF A FREE PRESS SHINE IN DARK PLACES’* SOUTHERN LABOR PRESS ASSOCIATION WEEKLY BIBLE THOUGHT “That we henceforth be no more children, toased to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in i wait <to deceive.”—Ephesians. DAMN THE FACTS AND FULL SPEED AHEAD— BY “LOOK” Now we know that-LOOK Magazine isn’t even trying to get honest results in its notorious public opinion polls. In the June 7th issue LOOK comes up with the astonishing announcement that Washington press and radio correspon dents almost unanimously named Robert Taft as the Sen ator “who contributes the most to his country’s welfare.” It takes a lot of gall to unblushingly offer such propa-1 ganda about the man who authored the Slave-Labor Aet, who has consistently opposed sound medical insurance, who attempted to cut out housing aid to subsistence farmers, and who engineered the Dixie-GOP scuttling of civil rights legislation. i LOOK admits it questioned only 100 correspondents . . . probably all carefully hand-picked for the right answers. It is doubtful that LOOK’S warped opinions will do Taft any good in ’60. People are a little sceptical of a poll that only six weeks ago had the crust to announce that “Taft Hartley Aims still popular with workers” in spite of the fact that only 27 per cent of the workers polled favored the act. TENNESSEE MAKES POLITICS FULL TIME BUSINESS The AFL trade unionist in Tennessee who contributed so much to the sensational shattering .of the Crump and Reese machines last election have wisely decided not to let the advantage slip out of their hands. To hold and con solidate their political gains, the State Federation recently directed State Federation Secretary, Charles Houk, to con tinue to give full time to his work as Co-ordinator of State Political Activities. Last year the Tennessee union people found that elections can't be stolen if every member votes and every polling place has an IJJPE poll watcher on election day. They are determined that never again will the the “court house gang" stuff the ballot boxes with the votes of long-dead relatives. * WONDERFUL, QUIET JUNE Enveloped by a mood impassioned with the quietude of a slumbering woods and becalmed bv the drowsi ness of the warmth of June, Samuel T. Coleridge was moved to write— “A noise like a hidden brook. In the leafy month of June That to the sleeping woods at night Singeth a quiet tune.’ Coleridge's thoughts of peaceful June are immersed in a 20th Century sea of cataclysmic speed and care lessness that would have challenged the imagination of any 18th Century pen. Yes, the woods may still sing of a brook in June— but today we speak of man-made brooks that flow through woods; concrete brooks—flowing not of water, but of millions of unnatural devices called automobiles. For this is the time that travel soothes the searching heart. The softness of a nation’s green pastures will be pierced; trews, rich with life, will quiver with fear and the highway will hum to the tune of roaring ve hicles on vacation-bound jaunts. This is the beginning of the glorious vacation period when families will pack limb and belongings to seek a few fleeting moments away from Life’s more tedious tasks. It wUI be a wonderful June and a quiet June. It will be a wonderful June for those who drive with care, and an unusually quiet for those *2420 unfor tunate beings who will die in unnecessary accidents.
