Raleigh June 29-Labor in North
Carolina is refusing to get all het up
about the CLIO and is not going TO
plunge pell nell after John l.. Lewis

intelligent to go into anything new
without investigating it, according TO
the belief of those here who nave peen

front in every part of the State. Ii
most of the laboring classes in North
Carolina were composed of foreigners
with little or no education and with
highly infiammable emotions, as is
the case in some other states, the slt-
nation here would admittedly be dan

ply and demand and that nothing can
be gained by biting the hand tnat
feeds them, it is pointed out.
SO it is that most observers here
feel that North Carolina is not going
to have very much trouble with strikes
and labor disorders right now, despite
the fact that Roy r. Lawrence and
his CLIO organizers are turning on all
the heat they can in a number OF
sectors to compel mill employees 20

the mill owners to recognize the CIO
union as the only bargaining agency
between them and their employers.
It is pointed out that the Lumberton

Indications that backlogs or the

Millions of dollars in construction

Fact Finding Proposed.
Since the P. w. A. program is an

seem reasonable to assume that the
