Lady Driver: "Of course I did And didn't I wave back? Wha' lid you expect me to do—throw a kiss?" TODAY "d LABOR . . . comes to power Ever since I began to be Inter ested in politics, something called the "Labor vote" came into every pre-election discussion. Until late ly it was merely a vague phrase. Labor was not organized politic ally. Members of labor unions voted as they pleased and not on orders from their leaders. The only serious attempt in America to organize Labor as a political unit was the Knights of Labor, predecessor of the Ameri can Federation of Labor, m the 1880's, under the leadership of T. V. Powderly, it seemed to make progress for a while, but it was impossible to line up any consid erable number of workers to agree to vote the same way. The American Federation -of Labor was founded on a non-po litical basis. No member was ask ed what his party allegiance was, nor could any of the unions or the Federation itself be voted as a unit. It put no "Labor"* tickets in the field; but its members nom inally supported candidates friendly to the wage-earners. Now the political aspect of Labor is changing. With the organiza tion of the C. I. O. the American Labor Party is the political arm of new style labor unions. It is already a factor for politicians to reckon with. POWER .... to be reckoned Organized Labor tested its po litical power in several local and municipal elections this month. The American Labor Party in New York City, proved itself, to hold the balance of power. It did not run its own candidate but in dorsed the Republican candidate, Mayor F. H. LaGuardia, and elected him. Polling nearly half a million votes, the Labor Party could have elected the Democratic candidate. In Detroit, where the C. I. O. ran its own third ticket on a platform calling for complete ac ceptance of the C. I. O.'s right to coptrol work and wages in in dustry, Labor was badly defeat ed, though it cast more than 140,- 000 votes. Those results were to be ex pected. Voters as a whole are not ready to turn over their munici pal governments to out-and-out labor leaders. Political Labor's tactics, to be successful, will have to follow the line adopted in New York, at least for a time. But by demonstrating ability to muster a block of votes large enough to de cide an election, Labor has in creased its power to make poli ticians listen to its demands. UNIONS class vs. mass The sudden rise of Lftbor to po litical power is due to the success of John L. Lewis in organizing unskilled workers and working groups previously unorganized on the "One Big Union" plan. The Federation of Labor is composed of craft unions, enlisting the skilled workers In distinct trades. The C. I. O. plan takes Into one union everybody who works at any trade or no trade at all in a giv en industry. The same idea was back of the "Wobblies," or In dustrial Workers of the World, the labor movement which was making great headway before the World War. Under the Federation plan la bor unions are a sort of aristoc racy of skilled workers. Under the C. I. O. plan the unskilled . rank and file are brought into frater nity with the most highly paid. The two organizations are bit terly fighting each other. I have no idea which will win or whether toth can survive. I am quite certain, however, that unless the Federation itself goes into politics, the C. I. O. SHOALY BRANCH Rev. A. B. Hayes filled his reg ular appointment at Shoaly Branch last Saturday and Sun day. Mr. and Mrs. H. F. Tulbert and family visited Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Spencer a while Sunday night. People in this community are very busy taking cue of their crops, sowing grain and killing porkers. Several people of this commun ity attended the revival at Cool Springs Baptist church last week. Mr. and Mrs. Ournie Draughn were the Sunday dinner guests of Mr. and Mrs. R. L. Spencer. Mr. Charles Darnell has been spending some time with his par ents, Mr. and Mrs. Ford Darnell. Everybody is cordially Invited to attend the singing at Shoaly Branch church every Wednesday night that is being taught by the Nance gospel singers. Mr. and Mrs. George Carter are moving into tills community this week we are glad to note. vill intrench Itself In our political :ystem by the power of Its mass. 1 DANGER . from Irresponsibility The danger which many fear From the sudden political rise of Organized Labor is that there is ao assurance that the rights and liberties of other than union members will be respected or pro tected. once Labor is in the sad dle. I personally know many lead ers in finance, business and in dustry, but I do not know one now living who can be honestly called an enemy of Labor. All recognize the right of work ers to organize, to strike for high er pay or better working condi tions, and to receive as high a proportion of the earnings of the concern they work for as the bus iness will stand. But many recent activities of Organized Labor have savored so strongly of lawless dis regard of the rights of everybody else and readiness to resort to violence to gain their ends, that the feeling is growing among thoughtful Americans that it is time for Labor organizations to assume responsibility which they now refuse to accept. RULES . . • should be equal In all other business affairs ex cept the relations between organ ized workers and employers there is equal responsibility on both sides. If either party fails to car ry out his part of a contract, there are well-established laws and practices to compel him to live up to his agreement or to pay a penalty. If an individual by his actions causes damage or loss to another's property or business he can be punished or made to pay for the damage done. No such rules apply when one of the parties is a Labor organi zation. The employer, whether an individual or a corporation, can be held to his agreement. There is no redress if a union violates its agreements. If Labor is to become a domi nant force in politics it ought to be willing to stand on an even footing with everyone else, in stead of claiming special privi leges denied to others. Whenever Organized Labor accepts the same measure of responsibility which corporations and individ uals are compelled to accept, most of the apprehension about Labor in politics will fade away, and with it will vanish most of Labor's > grievances. 2ND MONTH HONOR ROLL MOUNTAIN PARK SCHOOL Honor roll students for the sec ond month of Mountain Park school are as follows: First grade: Bobby Lee Cock erham, Charles Pardue, Maudie Faye Hodge, Ella Mae Isaacs, Winnie Luffman, Collie Wilmoth, Doris Pruitt, Guy Tilley, Docia Thompson, Beaufort Wood.
