Raleigh -Over Witke Forest way the Royal Cotton Mill is hav ing a little labor trouble. State Democratic Party Chairman Eve rette Jordan is the mill's presi dent. and U S Senator Willis Sniilii is a major stockholder. This strike doesn’t seem to be Hod in with the general textile upheaval throughout North Caro lina and the South, other than the fact that the union is the same na tional outfit—T W U A This trouble started sunn months be fore the Southwide outbreak The Royal Cotton Mill workers had an election and voted for the union to represent them. Later the National Labor Relations Board ordered the management to negotiate with the union Up to pow there has been little nego tiating and no meeting of minds. This strike hit the headlines over the week-end with an out break of shooting Strikers blame it on non-strikers Non-strikers blame it on strikers. You would think that Senator Smith—who made much of his love for the working man in his successful campaign last Spring—. ould be anxious to sec the affair settled. It is obvious that a good 1 mediator might help So, why wouldn't it be a good idea for Party Chairman-Mill President Jordan —who piously proclaimed in the senatorial -elec tion—to ask that that well-known labor-management mediator.

Last year the buses were to have been delivered bv Septem ber 1—they weren’t for a couple of months after that. But there as a clause that, if the buses were not delivered, the state could have another firm do them and charge Hackney Brothers for the freight and other expense in cident to moving the chassis to the new body builder. One hun dred of the buses were taken from Hackney and given to another outfit, costing the Wilson firm some $!10-odd for each bus. This year the Wilson company carefully omitted dint clause from the contract., but promised to have all buses to the State by early September, *'if possible”. Then they added. Hackney Brothers promised to build the buses if it had the time, but 1he State is without u means of en forcing the contract That contract and a similar one with "the Thomas Car Works of High Poini for 600 huscs at $1,386 each—was okayed by the Advisory Budget Commission, which is the board of awards for bids.

If any officer under MaeArthur had questioned an order of his, you may be sure that that officer would have been court-martialed and jailed. MaeArthur- the living myth - has received or taken credit for the work of Admirals Nimit/. and Halsey in the Pacific. In addition, the famed invasion of the Philip- j pines was staged by one of 1ho Army's master strategists, L1 Gen. Walter Krueger. When folks get hack to oxc-er eising their brains instead of their emotions, perhaps. MaeArthur's actions ran be viewed in then proper light—a pure case of re peated insubordination. In lus er. however, it has paid off with a $100,000 a year job plus an $111,000 a year salary for life from Uncle Sugar, with an ol ficofull of flunkies thrown in for good measure. As Boh Hu,ark put it, I’d be sick to my stummiek if the cost of food wasn’t so high. * * * Governor SeoH’s evaluation of the MaeArthur episode and Ins hacking of President Truman brought in hundreds of letters many of them from out of state. Tile mail varied from outright damnation to the "I'm with you boy" kind.
