MILL OWNERS AND MACHINE
GUNNERS

Law enforcement officials of the
federal government have made abun-
dant complaint in recent years of the
ease with which bands of criminals
and outlaws of the Dillinger type have
equipped themselves with machine
guns.
But now come the mill owners in
Southern textile centers with an array
and assortment of machine guns and
multiple rifles at the windows and on
the roofs of their plants that would
make Dillinger and all of his ilk blush
in puny comparison. Not since before
the Civil War has there been such an
abundant display of varied frearm
equipment in the Southern States.
The question is naturally asked why
is it so easy for these mill owners to
convert their plants into veritable
arsenals and fortresses? The ques-
tion is asked where they got the ma
chine guns and high powered rifles in
such abundance and in such guam
tity? Every mill center-large and
small, including the little country
crossroads mills, bristle with firearms
in the hands of armed guards, deputies
and strikebreakers.
With mill owners acquiring guns
with such ease and rapidity, it is
small wonder that gangsters and ban
dts have been able in recent years to
get them with the same ease.
Literally thousands of armed thugs
surround the Southern mills. Strikers
and pickets are beaten, intimidated.

SUPPORT THE TEXTILE
WORK ERS

Textile workers are putting up a
magnificent fight for justice and they
deserve the unqualified and unreserved
support Of every wage Garner. Par
ticularly do they deserve the support of
organized wage earners, whose stand
ards will be menaced by defeat of the
textile workers. The American Fed
Grafton of Labor has taken steps to
throw the full support of organized
labor behind the strikers without de-
lay. That this support will be given
is guaranteed by the past record of
American labor
Workers can help by giving financial
aid, by speaking out in private and
public in behalf Of the textile strik-
ers and by protesting against the en-
ployment of National Guardsmen and
other armed forces to break the strike
Strike Chairman German has made
vigorous protest against the employ
ment of troops in the strike. His pro-
test should be backed up by every fair
minded American.

LESSONS FROM ABROAD

Those who have leaned toward the
belief that democracy, as it has been
typified in America, is failure, must
find considerable food for thought in
recent events in Europe.
Across the waters, new order has
come into absolute power. 1t takes
various forms and names-socialism
communism, fascism-but the under
lying principle is always the same. It's
main tenents are that an absolute die
tatorship be established-tha the au-
thority of the state over all social and
business activities be supreme-that
criticism be punishable by imprison-
ment, torture, even death-that the
individual is nothing, and that individ-
ual rights shall be non-existent.
We see the results of that now in
headlines. In Russia, thousands are
dying of starvation, and he who lifts
his voice in protest is crushed ruth
lessly almost before the words leave
his mouth. In Germany's recent reign
of terror, 70 to 100 men were slaught-
cred because they questioned the "di-
vine authority of the present govern
ment. In Austria the chancellor has

ellis. They are all the victims of the
community nondescripts that have
been hastily modified by mill own
ers to intimidate and even kill unarm-
ed and peaceful pickets. Tales of un-
believable horror are found in the let
ters from workers in these Southern
towns whose condition today is plainly
no better than that of the Negro
slaves in the South before the Civil
War.

" Where with our
roo Little Hatchet
we tell the truth
about many things, sometimes pro-
foundly, sometimes fiippantly,
sometimes recklessly.

If employers could but get some
sense into their heads they would be-
gin to realize this important thing:
That more and more workers are
beginning to say, Must it be always
we who must back up?'
The fact is that just that is hap
pening.
And more and more they are begin
ging to say: "No; it shall not be al
ways the workers who back up, who
give way, who go back to work under
the old rules"
More and more they are saying:
This time we get what we want and
what we need"
But of course employers never have
been any too bright at reading the
workers mind. Too many of them
have gold dollars before their eyes
to blind them, dividend checks stuffed
in their ears so that they could not
hear well.
Does any employer ask himself what
a worker thinks when he reads about
the DUPONT war profits?
Does any employer ask himself what
a worker thinks when he reads that
textile mill dividends have grown this
year while workers have slipped back
until their average wage is less than
SO per week?
The chances are that only few
employers have ever asked those ques-
tinos of themselves, because they very
seldom think of workers as doing any
thinking, and if they did ask the ques-
tions they wouldn't know the answer

been murdered; and chaos reigns. A
dozen countries are preparing for war,
and frontiers are armed camps. AL
most every nation hates and mistrusts
every other.
In each of these countries the people
are prevented from knowing what is
actually happening because there is
no free press-the few newspapers
that have not been forced out of busi-
ness by the government, are leashed
and muzzled and are not permitted to
publish only official pronouncements.
An official pronouncement in this case
is whatever the dictator wishes the
public to believe, and the truth is often
diametrically opposed to it.
We have made mistakes in this
country. No government ever existed
which could not be improved. But,
knowing what is going on in the
world, we will not scrap what we have
in favor of political theories which, in
Europe, seem producing nothing save
hatred, revolution, terror.

Chicago (ILNS)-Speaking before
the International Typographical Union
convention here, Secretary Frank
Morrison, of the American Federation

anyway, because it is not in the nature

anyway, because it is not in the nature
of things that an employer should
know the workers mind.
Of course, to be honest about it, the
workers are themselves to blame for
a lot of this condition, because they
haven't done any too much thinking
themselves in the past.
Plenty of workers today are more
interested in the worlds series, as
they are fancifully miscalled, than
they are in their own job and their
own freedom.
How that can be is difficult to un-
derstand, but that is the way it is,
just the same.
But this condition of thoughtless-
ness rs changing. There is today lot
of new thinking going on.
Workers are getting at the facts.
They are looking at the big picture

minds in new way. If employers
are wise-though they aren't-they
will see that the old arrogance had
best be laid away on shelf high out
of reach.
For a good many years now the
workers have been talking about the
extension of democratic practices in
industry. For many years they just
talked and didn't do very much.
During the past year they have be-
gun doing things about it on large
scale.
They will keep on doing things
about it.
And one of these days the trade
union movement will be as fully ac-
cepted as the American constitution.
The faster there is this acceptance
the safer America will be from the
fanatical notions of the revolutionists
who don't know where they are going
or how they intend to get there, ex-
cept that they are willing to destroy
all things on the way.

on Sunday to join in the celebra-
ton of the S1st anniversary Of the

church once served a large COM

worship for many prominent fam
lilies. The day was ideal and the
pilgrimage took the nature of a
home coming to spend the day
greeting old friends, eating a pic

which is being abandoned in the
new and enlarged school plans, has
become a school library to be

which now has an ornamental
front entrance on Frazier Street,

being provided new quarters where
the old auditorium stage stood.
