In eome cart you find safety glass in everything except in the hip pocket. The final test of patriotism is to levs your country when it isn’t paying you a profit. Crime is easier than work, but think of the twenty years when you sit and long for something to do. Still, if you are good, how can you learn enough dirt to write a popular novel or write a prize-winning play ? Some of the audience who came to see the sym phony orchestra bull fiddle as big as a bus were disap pointed. Well, maybe we exaggerated. But it did have a rumble seat. Styles in gangsters: a few years ago, all slain des peradoes were called Capone men: now, if every stick iip hoodlum credited with it were really a Dillinger hench man, why, he must have had an army! We’re not entirely in accord with Chief of Police Wilkins on the juvenile delinquency question. He says the new child labor laws are responsible for most of it. But the new child labor laws are also responsible for a headline in this paper this week, which referred to the opening of the Kings Mountain School, and said: “New Child Labor Law To Boost Attendance.” Like a good Democrat, we always invoke Thomas Jefferson when we get in a hole about something; but some literate Republican, some day. is going to quote exactly what Jefferson said, just 100 years ago, about centralizing everything in the Federal Government. Oh •1 no__we’re not going to look it up for you! The City of Chicago, population precisely the same as North Carolina’s, has precisely the same ratio of automobile deaths. Chicago is wet and has traffic jams; North Carolina is dry and takes pride in her fine long roads. Can it be that we kill 1,000 persons on the high ways each year just because we are too darn careless to care? FAREWELL TO ALL THAT From Dunn, North Carolina, comes the story of a controversy over the legality of slot machines and the unusual Way in which it was settled. It came after a two weeks’ battle waged by reformers and supported by the local press. Into court one day went Dr. C. D. Bain, a dentist who presented a petition signed by scores of local citi zens attesting the fact that they’d put their nickels in the slot machine and had been gypped. John A. Mc Leod, attorney, spoke eloquently against the evil ma chine, excoriating its mechanical avarice and pointing to its immoral effect among young people. Then came Earle Westbrook, spokesman for the slot machine operators, who allowed that a slot machine was a highly moral machine—an honest automaton that played fair with your jitneys; moreover, a perfectly legal machine. To prove this, he brought one of them to court, and had no difficulty drumming up some trade among the reformers, judges, lawyers and witnesses. Whereupon the reformers, judges, witnesses, et al. fell to arguing again—is a slot machine or isn’t a slot machine legal? And that might have been going on yet but for the masterful diplomacy of Mayor H. B. Taylor, who, reading from a prepared statement, vowed that the best thing for all concerned w-as to withdraw' all charges against the slot machine people, and for the slot machine people to discard all their machines. And $o it was. Dunn slot machines gnashed their gears over their last buffalo, w-hirred their final prom ising lure, tinkled their ultimate tinkle, and everybody was happy. And that’s the way they handle such things in Dunn, North Carolina. DON’T RUSH TOO FAST Textile labor in Shelby is very well satisfied under present conditions. They have no major complaints with their emplpoyers, yet by a vote taken in far-off New York a nation-wide textile strike is pending and a strike means human suffering, financial losses and other attendant troubles. This strike is most inopportune. It ie set for a season when many mills rather close than run. for financial reasons. But leave the employers out o£ the picture, then the public, the organized and unor ranked workers, their wives and children should be con sidered. Here in this state the old 60 hour week has been abandoned, and a forty hour week substituted. Child labor has been abolished and wages have increased. Statistics show that textile payrolls have increased 60 to 70 per cent since the NRA. The textile worker has been greatly advantaged and everybody with any sense of justice and fairness, rejoices over the improvement. Now a thirty hour week is demanded or else the labor powers will order a strike. Big labor officials won’t be deprived of anything they now enjoy, but the workers in the ranks will suffer. We rejoice with tex tile workers in all that they have gained under the New Deal, but they are demanding too much, they are trying to move too fast when they ask for a thirty hour work week in the face of present business conditions. We have the most favored land in the world. Work ing conditions are the best, living -standards are the highest, home comforts and social advantages are the greatest of any nation on God’s green earth. Just now we are moving out of the depression and have come a long way in one short year, but to rush the recovery too fast, means a set-back. No doubt there are mills that stretch-out their workers, chisel on the code and do un fair and inhumane things. These abuses should be cor rected and the government has set up boards to which complaints should be made for decision. There is no justification for contented and satisfied workers being ordered to quit because some mill managers in Massa chusetts or Mississippi take undue advantage of their labor. When chiseling mill managers take advantage of their workers, they also become unfai* competitors of mills that observe established standards. Shelby is admittedly a strongly organized textile center. We are informed that the workers are in the main satisfied with the progress that has been made and that there are no complaints of any major importance. Therefore why not submit the strike issue to a vote of the local membership before resorting to such extreme methods ? Rushing labor’s cause too fast by demanding too much is apt to give labor a serious set-back.
