Mill EMPLOYEES At ALBEMARLE STRIKE.
Demand that Union be Recognized and Non
Union Workers be Dismis ed.

Union Workers be DisInis ed.
"A condition exists in Albema marle
new to the town and its surround
ings. and it appears that a real
live, sure enough s'rlke is on, one
that effects some twenty-three
hundred wage earners
1t is the outcome Of recent acti
vities among labor union aglta
tors, and the organization of all
classes of laboring men of the
vicinity into a union
AS The News learns the story
the SO called union has made Ger.
tain overtutes to the mill authori
ties III order to secure an interview
lntlmating that some understand
ing between the two was sough ht.
Some laboring men and members
of the union have freely remark
ed that the bone OF contention Oh
the part of the union is to obtain
recongnition from the mills
Asked as to what "recognition'
meant. it was weeded out of the
inform ant that once the mills re-
cognized the union, it would be-
come necessary for every other
operative in the mill so recogniz-
ing the union to either join the
union or get off his or her Job
The fact that not over 50 per
cent of the female operatives
showed up for work Monday
morning any of the mills, and
scarcely mau to be found, shows
that the union has done effective
work Of a kind. Either the mem
bership has grown strong, or the
non union workers have produc-

Mills. have closed down indefn

a tentative extension of time to
the mills for recognition of the
union and to hear its voiced
claims, the mills are playing shut
mouth and are able and prepared
to encounter an indefinite period
of idleness.
The fact that the mills Of this
place have maintained for years
the very best educational advan-
tages for their employees, having
two of the finest equipped graded
schools in the State for the fami-

pretty homes, good yards and

SEARCH FOR HOARDERS and PROFITEERS.
All Glasses Of People Feel Pinch Of Extortion
and Relief Must Come.

Ali Glasses OF People Feel Pinch OF EXt0rtI0n
and Relief Must Come.
Washington, Aug. 10, Rapid
developments are expected in
the hunt for food hoarders and
the effort to restrain protiteers
and repress rising prices. While
it was unfortunate that the labor
unions .inaugurated their fight
for higher wages and nationalist
tion of the, railroads right at the
critical period .in the economic
upheaval, the unwise and inexpe
dent labor pronouncement tend
ed to eliminate partisan ship and
ubstitute sort of class con-
sciousness. ;Republicans and
Democrats alike commend the
spirit of the Presidents high
cost of living address. and they
are all agreed that it has had a
stabilizing effect. They agree
that it is admirable and definite
guide directing immediate and
effective action, and the leeisla-
tive branch of the government
is keyed up sfor whatever con-
struct1ve work the situat ton may
require.
After a few hours of mature
deliberation those men who feel
the burden of the urgent require
ment seem to be close together
in their views as to what should
be done. They may differ in the
-tbe details of the modes of pro-
cedure, but they are all seeking
to secure Immediate relief for
the0country-and that is what
the people want, and with less
than that they will not be salts
| fed
For the time being factional
antagonisms are being put aside
for the one absorbing thing. The
peace treaty has become a ques-
ton Of minor Importance in com,
parison- with the .solutio of the
living problem. The work
must be done at once, and it
must be done effectually." is the
universal sentiment as express
sed by the citizen you meet, the
law maker you observe and the
executive who has started the
ball rolling.
Food hoarders in every part
of the country are being watched
by secret secret service agents
who have been put on their
trail by the department. of JUS
tice, and it is intimated that t e
vast quantities Of foodstuffs held
in secrecy may be uncovered in
many of the scongested centers
where it is possible for such
things to be hidden and held for
a favorable time to market. The
protiteers of whatever class,
whether retail dealers, whole
salers, manufacturers or the
packers, will be made to toe the
line and answer for the crime
that they have com mitted against
the suffering people of the coun-
try and against humanity the
pound OF flesh which they have
had the com bined power to re-
quire.
It is not one class, but all
classes of people. who are feel
ing the pinch of extortion. Wage
earners, salaried people, pro-
fessional men and people of every
vocation or trade, every inter-
gal part of our social fabric, all
are victims of this tragical op
preston and all cry out for re-

THE PUBLIC HEALTH NURSE.

The Public Health Nurse is more
than a nurse, she is a teacher, an ex
pert on sanitary conditions, and like
the physician must be able to seek
out the causes of disease in a com.
munity and do away with them The
Tennessee Anti-Tuberculosis Associa-
ton has four such nurses, and it is for
these reasons that J. P. Kranz, execu.
tive secretary of that society, counts
himself as being one of the most fortu-
nate of men.
There isn't any sort of a commun.
ity health condition which our nurses
are unable to seek out and cope with"
said Kranz in a recent health confer
ence. THE reports which they turn
in to county health boards would do
credit to sanitary engineer. Because
of their tremendously vide experience
they are entertaining as teachers and
any one of them may be quoted as an
authority on public health
These nurses are hard to get and
still harder to keep. Since few nurses
have the training necessary for this
work and since the National Tubercu-
losis Association and it's 1000 affiliated
organizations throughout the country
constantly are calling for this type Of
nurse, the Tennessee society may
consider itself fortunate in having one
of the best staffs of workers in the
country.
"Last year four nurses visited every
county bringing their message of hope
and health. Next year they must do
the same and that is why the Red
Cross Christmas Seal campaign must
be larger this year than ever before"

TENNESSEE TO Be
HEALTH|EST STATE
GOVERNOR ROBERTS PLEDGES
STATE AID IN FIGHT FOR BET
TER COMMUNITY HEALTH.

Endorsed by Governor Roberts and
supported by the State Departments
of Health, Charities and Education, the
Tennessee Anti tuberculosis Associa-
ton will open its tenth annual cam
paign on December 1st to make Ten
nessee the healthiest state in the
Union The society does not confine
it's health fight to tuberculosis alone,
according to its annual report which
has just been completed, but it also is
interested in every detail of the pub
lie health problem and it's nurses and
workers are not only authorities on
the deadly little "T-B" germ, but they
ale also posted on every matter con-
corning community health.
A year ago the efforts of the Asso-
citation were directed towards fighting
the Flu" Thousands of pamphlets
were distributed and hundreds of talks
were made by the officials and work
ers of the society. This was because
the society fights any condition which
lowers the vitality of the public, for
it is when folks feel worn out and run
down that the tuberculosis germ gets
to work.
According to DR.. Olin West, Secre-
tary of the State Board OF Health, it
is probable that everyone has tuber-
culosis at one time or another during
their life. Clean living saves great
number of people, but the fact remains
that this scourge kills one of every ten
people who die in this country.
Tuberculosis is comfortable, prevent
able and curable," said DR.. West. "The
Tennessee Anti-Tuberculosis Associ-
alton is going to campaign for money
to spend in this state fighting the
plague and every contribution and ev.
cry little Red Cross Seal purchased
means that you are not only helping
to fight this plague, but that you are
helping the state to raise healthier
children, teaching people to care for
their own health and in turn you are
guaranteeing yourself better health
