Deadlock Over Closed Shop Issue Bars Settlement 'Continued from Page 1> foil'win - statement to ail employees, including those on strike, this week, explaining its stand: In view of inquiries received by the company from its employees ask ing the company to state its position in the current labor dispute, the com pany offers the following explanation: A number of conferences have been held witfi union officials and an agreement has been tentatively reached on most of the demands sub mitted by the unions. The question of the proper bar gaining unit, which the unions pre sented as the cause of the strike, has been solved by the company agreeing to have the three unions, collectively as a single unit, represent its em ployees. The major obstacle in the way of resumption of operations seems to be the demand made for a union shop.' It is our understanding that the term •union shop' means that every eli gible employee must be a member in good standing of one of the three unions. If an employee does not wish to join the union, resigns from the union, or is dropped from the union for non-payment of dues or other rea son he is subject to discharge and the company is placed in the position of having to carry out such discharge if asked to do so by the union, even CASCADE 90 PROOF Geo.

Methodist Bible School Is Success Thirty-nine pupils were enrolled in the Daily Vacation Bible School that concluded an eight-day session with an average daily attendance of 28. it was reported to the Methodist Sun day school Sunday morning by Wal ter Burgess, who. with Mrs. L. W. Zeigler. were superintendents. Mrs. Roy Swain and Mrs. Lloyd Owens directed the music Teachers follow: Mrs. Owens, junior boys: Miss Camille Burgess junior girls; Miss Sarah McLean, primary boys; Miss Catherine Brooks, primary girls: Miss Barbara Norman, beginners; Miss Dali Johnson, supply: Miss Martha D. McGowan, helper. Twenty-six certificates were award ed. Th echildren made a curtain for the cabin, constructed bird boxes and purchased pictures for the cabin. though such employee's work has been entirely satisfactory. Some of the reasons why the com pany has refused to agree to the 'un ion shop' are as follows: "1. We believe it is the right of every employee to decide for himself whether or not he wishes to belong to a union and if so what union. "2. In view of recent happenings, the management does not feel that it can. in fairness, agree to discharge a capable and trustworthy employee whose only offense, perhaps, has been the violation of some union rule. "3. The management feels that it has the right to operate the plant on an 'open shop' basis if such a plan appears to be for the best interests of the employees as well as the com pany. This stand is supported by a ruling handed down by Vice Chan cellor Berry on June 20, 1939, in the chancery court at Trenton, which in part, as quoted by the newspapers, reads as follows: " 'Unless the law of this state, as established by our constitution, has undergone a radical change of which I am ignorant, the employer still has some rights—One of these is to run his business on the open shop plan if he desires to do so—To act freely in these matters without molestation or compulsion and. indeed, without the unsolicited advice of the union is the owner - employer's constitutional right.’ "THE KIECKHEFER CONTAINER CO.

J. R. Manning J. B. Willoughby “The Home-Town Boys” Says There Is Little Danger of Shortage Fish in Lake Phelps District Game Protector Be lieves Lake Can Stand More Fishing Fears that increased fishing at Lake Phelps would cause a shortage in the supply of :. ■.. were discounted last Friday b> Rupert E. West, of Moy ock, district came protector and writ er. who expressed the belief that the abundant supply of fish in the lake would continue. Of course. Mr. West pointed out in a talk with W. R. Hampton, member of the State Board of Conservation and Development, development of Pettigrew Park and subsequent ad vertising of the place will naturally increase the number of visiting fish ermen. but he held this w-ould do lit tle harm o far as reducing the fish supply was concerned. Mr West said that if it became necessary the Edenton hatchery could produce a million fish annually for restockin. Lake Phelps. Fishermen from all over the state now come to Lake Phelps to angle for the white perch, crappie and bass which abound in this, the largest nat ural fresh water lake in the state, and each season the number of fish ermen shows an increase. Reports have been carried back to various sections of the state of the large catches made in the lake this season, and this will serve along with other publicity to attract even more fishermen from elsewhere to enjoy the fishing there. "Every person who does not live in this section and who catches a fish in Lake Phelps will pay about $2 per fish," according to Mr. Hampton, with Mr. West nodding assent, and this works to the personal profit of enter prising persons who serve as guides as well as those who conduct busi ness establishments along the routes leading to the lake.

Speaker Last Thursday Night Cattle production is an enterprise for which this section is ideally suit ed, Paul Fletcher, of Raleigh, live stock marketing specialist for the North Carolina Department of Agri culture, told the members of the Lions Club last Thursday night. Rye and oats and other cover crops provide year-round grazing for cat tl preventing the expense of winter feeding, joined with the reed pas tures in the pasture-land make this a fine cattle-raising country, the speaker said. The soil conservation program puts a premium on more hay crops and legumes which may be fed to cattle. Mr. Fletcher pointed out. He said that it costs about $22 to produce a beef calf for market in most sections, but that he believed it could be done here for $13. With the markets at the doorsteps of this county, there is already a $5 per head advantage right there over cattle growers in Texas. After the production of beef cattle, knowledge of the seasonal price moods of the market must be acquired in order to get the cattle to market when they will bring the largest re turn. concluded the speaker.
