JUDGES WIN POINT
IN SALARY BATTLE

Givan, month ago, attempted to
frustate action of the judges to
mandate County Auditor Harry
Dunn to pay the reporters an in
creased salary, the writ Of prohibi-
ton resulted in temporary orders
preventing judges from issuing such
mandate.
Later, the county grand jury be-
gan q probe into the alleged dis
appearance of the court reporters
pay increase record, and reported
last week that the charges, as made
by judges, were unfounded.
The high courts ruling now gives
judges opportunity to mandate Dunn
to pay the pay increase of $500, or
an additional $50 a month salary
to each reporter, it was understood.
1t was indicated that Dunn will
not pay the salary boost unless
forced to do so by mandate from
each Judge.

Oh! How | wanted to tell him
he was damn liar. He also stated
that such things as Communists
We're not allowed in CASTOR County.
That was the best joke ] had heard
since Walter Raleigh was found
smoking at bucket of water thrown
on him to put out the fire. He also
stated that Communists would never
be allowed to exist in CASTOR County.
| hope this superintendent sees
this letter and remembers who he

this same mill told me he just got
one day the week before last and

for US workers, but we are organ

last week, especially since the trial
of Dewey Martin, workers have been
arrested and their leaflets taken
away, asked for their "red" cards

warning that if they are ever caught
again they would be jailed.

Daily Workers to the workers in
the cafes around the Reynolds To-
bacco factories where the workers
rush to eat, and as our comrades
saw a group of workers on Reynolds
property they decided to give these
workers our literature as well.
Workers Eager for Daily.
Sure enough after the crowd of
workers came for our literature two
policemen who had been following
our comrades came up and grabbed
them and carried them straight to
the police station, searched them,
took their literature away and read
the city law to them. After holding
our comrades for an hour, they let
them out with the warning "that if
any worker gives out any literature
all those responsible will be jailed"

These threats of course will not
stop US and the other day we dis
tributed 800 Daily Workers through
the mill villages from house to

after us, finally found us and
