NEW YORK, Sept. 9.-The follow

and Brooklyn;
There are two reasons why you
should organize--to help yourself get
better conditions and to help your
fellow worker get the same. The man
ufacturers believe in organization, for
themselves, but not for you there
fore, 1t is your duty to believe in it
for yourself.
Concentrated capital must be met
by concentrated labor. We must or
ganize nationally and internationally.
Individually you cannot bargain with
the boss-and win-that is why you
must organize. Today the shoe trust
is rapidly developing and you must
be in position to deal with it. How?
ORGANIZED

concerns in this country IAN per cent

total shoes produced and are capable
Of producing and are fully equipped

American and foreign market can con-
sumo. Imports of leather footwear
increased 48 per cent in 1924 over
1928 and we exported 1,077,S79 pairs
less during the same year.
What does this mean? 1t means
that unless you organize to protect
yourselves cheaper European labor
will compete so successfully with the
shoe workers of this country that
you will be forced to accept the low

Innumerable organizable oftices were

sued a policy of hesitancy and dis.
elimination on the question of organ
izing the unorganized.

be organized, and is gradually being
placed on the unfair" list; lenfency

Offices is the policy pursued. Month
after month, the cut and dried reports
of the officials state progress" with
no new Offices organized. Paper prog
ress describes their reports.
One set Of charges, at another meet
ing, were insufficient. So two sets
were brot in. One set Of charges was

onerating Primoff. To speak in favor
Of anything which the union leaders
do not agree with is a crime in the
B. S. & A. U. punishable with ex-
pulsion.
Instantly, there followed another
set of charges OF "scabbing" against
Nagin and Meyers. They were charg-
ed with having worked for Local %,
l. L. G. w. while fake strike was
on, Immediately after the internal
struggle in the /. L. G. w. Locals 2,
8, % began In both cases the false,
illogical reasoning was proven by the
fact that the B. S. & A. U. leader
ship could not distinguish between
one separate and distinct organiza-
ton and another. Theyiconsidered the
Joint Action Committee and Local p
as synonymous. And they are, wrong.
1t is known thruout the labor move
ment that since the internal fight be-
gan in the l. L. G. W., the separate
locals ceased functioning as such. No
dues, assessments, etc, were collect
ed. Only that a new, separate and
distinct Organization representing the
three left locals was organized in
the shape of the Joint Action Com
mittee, and it needed the help Of only
few office employees in the record

and the distribution thereof.

Reasoning very little, and that from
the false premise that the Joint. Ac'
ton Committee and Local 22 were
the same (Which they are not) the
conclusion arrived at was obviously
and inevitably false. That the charg'
ed were guilty; Nagin was to pay
$500 fine, and leave his job;s Myers
$4,000 fine and leave her job, pE both
were to be. considered expelled from
the union if they did not SO abide
by the stupid decision.
In the discussion of the latter cases,
it was clearly pointed out that:
1. The Joint Action Committee
was a body distinct from either of
the three locals of the International
that it represented.
2. Local % has not been function
ing as a local since June Is; and
that 1t was not performing It's regu-
lar duties as local.

taking sides in controversial mat
ter of another union.

OPENING OF DANIEL BOONE
HOTEL MAY BE DEFERRED

1t now appears that the opening of
the Daniel Boone Hotel will have to
be deferred for few days as it seems
a physical impossibility to get it rea-
dy for occupancy May 1. Every eff
fort possible is being put forth, but
the time is just bit too short. The
building is complete, the plumbing is
almost done, and the grounds are
now being put in shape. Painters are
doing some touching up, the windows
are being cleaned and many other
activities are going on about the
buildings. Quantities of furnishings
are now on the railroad siding and
will be put in just as soon as the
building is ready. We are not author
lied to say as much, but just now it
seems that the formal opening will
not take place until May 8.

ROYAL ARCH MASONS
ENTERTAIN LADIES o. E. S.

One of the most enjoyable fetes of
the season was the entertainment Civ
en- the ladies of the Order of the
Eastern Star by the Royal Arch Ma
sons in the hall Monday night. A
little program had been arranged for
the occasion (all fun of course) con-
sisting of songs, debate, etc. and it
was carried out to perfection. Sew
eral of the young ladies were given
an opportunity to dclve into some of
the mysteries of the order-in fact
they were escorted to the east and
given full control of the chapter, but
alas! ere they could even learn the
use of the common gavel, pandemon-
ium broke loose among the brethren
and the lady's inability to govern was
manifest. Then as if quickened by a
flash of electricity CD they decen-
ded from the historic seat without
much knowledge of the workings of
the mystic order. The ladies as well
as the men seemed to enjoy it to
the fullest Ice cream in five painted
stars, and cake were served after the
program was rendered.

WATAUCA
CITIZEN DIES SATURDAY

After an illness of only six days
Mr.. William H. Hardin of Route /,
died at his home of pneumonia on
Saturday at 1890 p. m. He had been
afflicted with rheumatism and for
some time had suffered a great deal
but continued to work on his beauti-
full farm, one of the best in the coun-
ty. On Monday he went on business
to neighbor's and was taken ill aw-
ay from home. He was brought back
and pneumonia soon set in, which de-
spite the best medical aid procurable
continued to grow worse until the
end came.
Mr.. Hardin was a member of one
OF our most prominent and best knon
families and possibly no one had
more real friends. He was born 73
years ago just east of Boone and his
entire life has been spent in Watau-
ga, and she can boast of no more
worthy son or upright citizen. He
was a son of Mr.. and Mrs. Henry
Hardin long since deceased, and
leaves a wife, formerly Miss Sarah
Winkler, two sons Messrs Oscar and
Henry, merchants in Boone; three
brothers, Messrs J. F. and H. J. Har-
din and James Hardin of Washington
College, Tenn, and one sister Mrs.
VIM. Spainhour of Cleveland, Tenn.
Mr.. Hardin was "a consistent men,
Der of Howard's Greek Baptist church
and lived fully up to his Christian
profession. The funeral was conduct
ed from the Methodist church, how
ever by the pastor, Rev. M. B. Woos-
ley, who paid high tribute to the life
and character of deceased. Interment
was made in the town cemetery in
the presence of a large concourse of
ands and relatives from different
the county. Truly another
good man has passed to his reward.

ken in her behalf.
Previous to the plan for this spe-

the privilege of entertaining the club

pared a very appetizing plate lunch

CHEVROLET MAKES GREAT
PRODUCTION RECORD IN APRIL

Detroit, Mich, April 18. - The
Chevrolet Motor Company is produc-
ing this month an April record of
52,299 motor cars and trucks or over
1000 for each working day.
This monthly schedule, planned al
SO for May and June, has been excee-
ded only twice in the company's his
tory.
At the present rate Chevrolet will
produce its -millionth" car early
this fall. 1t will be the first three
speed gear shift type of car to reach
that total.
Of the cars being made this month
1886 are destined for domestic sale
1924 are to be exported and $500
are to be built in the Chevrolet plant
in Canada.
Accelerated by the demand for the
improved new series with refinements
previously obtainable only in cars of
much higher price, the Chevrolet pro-
uctio has mounted rapidly since the
first of January.
The capacity program requires ap-
proXimately 17,545 workers at the
twelve Chevrolet factory and assem-
bly, plants throughout the country.
The popularity of the new Chew
rolet models ha developed unique
situation in which sales and produc-
tion figures are practically identical
! Untitled orders on hand indicate that
| production for the next three months
even at the high pace set, will be ab'
sorbed at once.
