Ray Lowder, chairman of the Lincoln County Emergency Food Col lection committee, announced today that while some donations have been received it is hoped and expected that many others will be received within the next ten days. He stressed the fact that the need is great and if the starving millions of other nations are to be helped it must be done quickly. He asks that club members contact the proper person and have the club's donation mailed promptly to the county chair man. Mr. Lowder said further, “Much more food can he obtained for a giv en amount of money if it can be bought centrally and in large quan tities. Also there will he a consid erable saving in the cost of collec tion, packing and transportation. 1 Too, freight shipments are piling up, due to recently curtailed schedules, and it will require some time before contributed canned goods can be moved. Cash contributions to this EMERGENCY FOOD COLLECTION can and will be put immediately to work in behalf of the starving mil lions overseas. “Foods packed in tins are needed and all these will be carefully pack-1 ed and shipped ns soon as a sizable | \ quantity is received.

A Selective Service official said that under a strict deferment policy it is estimated that 950 whites and 160 negroes are now available for in duction, and that if tlje restriction | on the induction of men between 26 I and 30 were lifted that probably I would double that amount would be available. During the last six months, Selec tive Service headquarters reported, approximately 1,500 North Carolina youths were inducted each month, and nearly all of them were youths in the 18-10 age bracket.

WILUAM JACKSON SEEKING ACTION! President of U. S. Chamber of Commerce Issues Statement On Soft Coal Strike Washington, May 16—William K. | Jackson, newly elected president of | the Chamber of Commerce of the United Stutes, issued the following I statement on the coal strike: The nation is in a state of crisis second only to that brought about by war. Congress has passed laws de signed to preserve peace between em ployer and employee. Despite these laws there is no peace. The statutory guarantee of the right of collective bargaining has not produced the peace it was de signed to bring about. The statute requires the employer to bargain collectively and in good faith with the employee, but there is no corre sponding obligation on the part of the employee to bargain collectively in good faith with his employer. To day, in at least one vital industry, the process of collective bargaining as now set up by law has been thwarted. The President of the United States has aptly pointed out the peril in which the nation is placed by the coal strike and the failure of the parties directly interested to reach an agreement. Our labor laws have been drafted upon the general thesis that only two parties are involved— employer and employee. This is not i true. In many cases the public, the people in general, are vitally con cerned. When a fight between em ployer and employee can result in paralyzing industry, and in threat ening public health and welfare as ; does the existing coal strike, the 1 right of the people must be para- i mount, and means must be devised : to protect the public aga .ist this 1 type of calamity. I The time has come for the Con- , gress to consider the interest of the public in labor disputes. The time has come for Congress to overhaul ' existing legislation so that the pub- 1 lie is properly protected when di=- ] putes arise between employer and 1 employee in those industries dealing < with commodities or services, the 1 continued flow of which is vital and i necessary. 1 Ih a representative democracy such | as ours there is no place for govern- ] ment by organized minorities, wheth- i er it be by force, threat or intimida- j tion. It is no longer a question of ] pro-labor or anti-labor. It is a question of what is necessary in the public interest. In the case of the present coal strike the rights of so many should not be subordinated to the uncontrolled demands of a few. SATURDAY JHAY 25, WILL BE POPPY DAY Poppy Day will be observed in Lin colnton and throughout the United States on Saturday, May 25, the sale of the poppies to be sponsored by the American Legion Auxiliary.
