GOVERNOR LAYS DOWN THE LAW IN
NORTH CAROLINA

| NUM- CANSLA<<H
| Governor Hoey has spoken and has stat
ed in plain language the policy OF this
State with reference to labor union law
lessness. Violation of the laws OF North
Carolina by sit-down strikes or IN any
other manner connected with labor trou-
bles will not be tolerated. The people Oh
this State understand that what the EoV-
ernor has said in this case is not mere
gesture toward law enforcement. he mas
made his meaning plain and means eNac'ly
what was stated in his public interview IN
the newspapers; and the people OF Nortn
Carolina see this matter exactly as stateo
by Governor Hoey and will back MIN 10
the limit in impartial enforcement OF the
laws to protect the interests OF every CLASS
of citizens-employers and employees IN
industry, capitalists and laborers' anu
every other group of citizens.
And it will be advisable that outside
agitators and trouble makers inform tnem-
selves and act according to the rules stat
ed by the Governor. They will avoid sefi-
Gus trouble by doing so.
North Carolina has been patient ana
long-suffering in the past in meeting con-
ditions created by these imported agltators.
We believe that in the future the DISPOSE
tion TO take this course is going to be much
less in evidence than in the past. This tact
and the Governors clearly stated intention
70 see that the laws are made effective,
hold out little hope that kid glove methods
will be adopted in dealing with any riots
or instructions which may be pulled OIL
in North Carolina under the leadership Oh
paid agitators and outlaws.
It is the sincere hope of all good citizens
among every class of residents OF North
Carolina that the working people-texhle
,peratiyes and others-under the condl-
ions that will undoubtedly result from IN
vasion by radicals under the general dlrec-
ion of John Lewis will manifest that COM
mon sense and conservatism for which the
whole body of the citizenry OF North Caro-
lima is known throughout the country.
If some or all of the textile workers and
other workers of the State decide that they
want to tie up with such labor organlza-
tons as Lewis unions and permit them
selves to be MIXED financially for the bene-
fit of men whose sole interest in Carolina
workers is measured by the number OF
dollars that can be extracted from them
in the form of dues, that is their business.
Tho follow citizens of these workers have
no legal or moral right Except through
argument and persuasion) to undertake TO
cause them to avoid the pitfall by taking
another course; but their fellow citizens
will insist that no matter what happens,
foreign agitators or resident agitators' and
all other classes of citizens, shall obey the
law, keep the peace and Carolinians shall
prove themselves patriotic citizens OF the
State and United States-or take the con-
sequences.

that the picture might de-

Bette is a star who is used

William Wyler, who d.

He shoots a scene over and
over again. We pay the set

doing a simple exchange of
dialogue between Bette and
a slave girl.
Sure enough, Wyler shoots
it six times. When he lets
her go, at last, Bette is still
