Well-Known NC Zion Pastor Says RALEIGH COP CURSED HIM BEFORE ARREST 1 Tried To Restore Peace” Rev. Tharrington BY CHARLES R.

EDITORIAL FEATURE r Too often in labor disputes, the pub lic interest is of incidental concern or of no concern at all. This has been glar ingly revealed during the last few months where strikes have stopped for prolonged periods the operation of vital public services. Despite public irritation caused by these union muscle-flexing displays, little restraint in strikes ap pears ahead. Mr. A. H. Raskin, for several years " labor editor for The New Tiroes, recent ly offered in The Atlantic some insight into the cause of such needless work stoppage and suggested some possible solutions. Laying much of the blame on union negotiating policy, Mr. Raskin points to the “pioneers” of the labor movement, saying: “ . . . most of them stayed too long,” and “ . . . they tended , to identify the union with themselves.” This, he suggests, “ ... is the tragedy of today’s labor movement.” The inci dent on “one-party rule”, the rejection of new approaches, the stifling of inde pendent thinking, and the determined, hard-hitting boldness, characteristic of the pioneers in unionism, has continued to be the dominant feature of union leadership Interunion struggles for new' approaches to new and more complex problems have thus forced displays of “pioneer” policy strength. From the public interest point of view, Mr. Raskin points out that, the question is “ . . not who leads unions or whether unions can end their organizational tor por, but whether collective bargaining is an adequate instrument for protecting the public interest, not just the interests of labor and management.” The ludicrous demands of the New York transit workers, in early 1966, a mounted to an average increase of $7,800 per year for each worker. Not until rec ommendations and pressures from out ( side sources brought a settlement did As the government and the medical profession seek to discharge their duties to older people under the medicare law, evryone should be reminded again and again that there is no such thing as a “free" service. Nothing in this world is free and nothing new has been created under medicare. By law, the taxpayers are paying some of the medical bills of a selected group of people. Medicare may evntually be extended until it be comes a national health service such as was adopted in Britain nearly 18 years ago. The British plan of government medi cal care which was to provide free serv ice to all is threatened with a disastrous breakdown. A British Medical Associa tion reports that, “Unless vast new sums of money are made available from some source or another the present concept of a hospital service must be abandoned . . .

When we learned of this, we went directly to Police Chief Thomas Davis and informed him of our quest for truth in this matter. The minister was recounting for your scribe the events lead ing up to his being cursed at least twice by a police officer whom he identified as Officer Bobby Coats. This incident was marked on the police blotter as having taken place shortly before 3:30 a. m. Thursday, when Officers Bobby B. Coats and Thomas Brooks Lewis were summoned to Price’s Shell Service Sta tion, 612 Fayetteville St., where they were met by the night op erator, Douglas Ames Dean, 64, of Clayton. Mr. Dean is alleged to have informed the two cops that (Miss) Juanita Green, 23, of 611 E. Davie St., was “very disorderly” on his lot. The (See RALEIGH COP, P 2) trains begin to roll. Other displays of union forces have developed and ended in the same manner, pointing to a break down in the effectiveness of collective bargaining. Mr. Raskin predicts “ ■. . . the advent of a period of gathering labor shortages after seven years of manpower surplus is likely to cause an upsurge of strikes.” He also believes the outlook for govern ment infcerventioi in labor-manag 'ment relations during the years ahead will de» pend greatly on union leadership atti tudes and the general labor policy to ward collective bargaining proceedings. Although Mr. Raskin believes com pulsory arbitration or government seiz ure would have; to be the “last resort” he does, nonetheless lean toward some form of third party “fact finding” par ticipation in labor disputes. He further believes that, “ . . . less ritual and more inventiveness in the bargaining pro cess ...” is desirable on the part of la bor and suggests tat wider use of year round discussion techniques would re move the deadline element from collec tive bargaining. The right to bargain is basic to Amer ican free enterprise. Union leaders, un ion members, employers and the public would not want to see government dom ination of labor-management relations. But, the question of whether collective bargaining can serve the interest of the public as well as the interests of both la bor and management must be answered by positive and constructive negotia ions, Irresponsible strikes that adverse ly affect the public interest can only lead to greater government intervention as the decisive force in labor-manage ment affairs. Union leadership must come to realize that the future of un ionism and free collective bargaining it self, hinges on its ability to meet mod em problems with modem solutions. pitals are more than 80 years old, and only two new general hospitals have been built since 1939. The British Med ical Association report concludes: ‘lf the public wishes to have an unrestricted health service, it must be prepared to pay for it . . . The medical profession in the United States is going to do everything possible to facilitate the operation of medicare. It will do its utmost to preserve the all important, doctor-patient relationship that is so vital to the high medical stan dards to which we have become accus tomed. It is the obligation of the people, all of us, to remember that medicare does not mean “free” medical care. The more that is demanded in the way of service from hospitals and doctors, the more it is going to cost unless we wish 1 to end un with a bankruot medical sys- §- tern as Great Britain appears to have done. .

Young, Jr., executive director of the National Urban League said last week that in too many American classrooms, the Ne gro has become a “non-per son,” similar to the Russian practice of ignoring men whom the current leaders do not ap prove of. Speaking of an audience of secondary school teachers of history drawn from the Appla chian region, he said that Ne gro contributions to American history had been neglected by both textbooks and teachers and he called for a new awareness of the Negro role. He spoke at an Institute in History at Tennessee Techno WEATHER Temperatures for the next five days. Thursday through Monday, will average one to five degrees above normal.

JONES Beofen In Face, Head, Jailed W'illie Everett Moore, 26, of Rt. 1, Box 380, Raleigh, told two officers at 2:24 a. m. Sun day, that 3 subjects "jumped on me and beat me in the face and head.” Moore said he didn’t know who they were, but stated he would gladly sign warrants, charging assault and battery, when they ■were identified. The ironic part of this entire Incident was that after care at Wake Memorial Hospital. Moore was “hauled off” to the Wake County Jail on a public drunken ness rap. The Incident took place at 320 N. State St. logical University at Cooke ville, Tenn. The overall theme of the Institute was “The South in Transition.” Young said that much of what is taught as American history is really mythology, and dis cussed some recent historical findings which show that free dom from slavery was won by Negro soldiers fighting for the Union and cited a reevaluation of the Reconstruction Era. “The facts are,” he said, “that the Reconstruction govern ments were among the best in Southern history... They set up the first public education sys tems in the South, they estab lished the first homes for or phans and the elderly poor, they abolished imprisonment for debt, they set up state bu reaus to attract new industry— in short they tried to bring the South into the nineteenth cen tury,” he stated. Mr. Young, an authority on the theme of which he wrote, has already collected data to more than support his claims. The ex-university professor is married and has two daueh (Bee WHITNEY YOUNG.

Planners for the convention chose for a theme “New Di mensions in our Christian Mis sion.” Dr. J. W.

Seminars, panels and clinics will deal with every phase of life as it affects young peo ple. Experts in all fields will appear on the program daily and will discuss a wide range of subjects, running from sex life to non-' iolent demonstra tions.
