UNION RESPONSIBILITY

Incorporation of labor unions or some other
method by which worker responsibility can be es
tabshed is being increasingly demanded in Amer
lea today. Likewise, a fear has grown up that EN-.
ployers may have no redress if the National Labor
Relations Board rules against them Some reassur
rance on both points is contained in the decision
of the Circuit Court of Appeals at Chicago, over
turning Labor Board ruling. The court holds
that workers who struck in violation Of contract
requiring arbitration forfeited their positions
employees and their rights to reinstatement If
the courts follow this rule, unions will find that
under the law even as it now stands they must
honor responsibilities if they are to enjoy rights.

BEHIND THE SCENES
IN WASHINGTON
by RODNEY BUTCHER.

WfASHINGTON.-Long expert
" ence in political warfare
might well have taught Mr..
Roosevelt never to lead with his
chin. If so, he forgot the lesson
when he invited Mr.. Henry Ford
TO the White House.
AS political boner, that one
ranks only with the enticement of
the little business men" to Wash
tngton in the hope that they would
give the President and his policies
d pat on the back. MIR. Ford is an
American tradition and his sup
sort at this time would have been
great boon.
But almost anyone who knew
o!e automobile man could have
I'ld the President that Ford could
ne counted on to cast more rasp-
berries than posies. What the
President did was to hand Ford
the White House as sounding
board for, some criticisms of the
New Deal.
The invitation was based on a
SuppoSition that Ford would feel
inspired to deliver a public mes
sage full of cooperation, conf
dence and good cheer. Mr.. C. Hall
Roosevelt. brother of Mrs. Roose-
veft, had convinced F. D. r. that
Ford would be so impressed with
the show that he would publicly
support the current administration

Roosevelt is in the dog-house now.

at the White House conference

thing.
After the luncheon and confer!
ence Ford seemed in some doubt
as to just who Eccles really was.
Ford has his pecuharities. The
last memorable occasion on which
he visited the White House was in
the early weeks of the l929-33 de-
preston when President Hoover
summoned an array of the big
men of industry and finance.
Ford sat through the conference
and never said a word. But
after it was all over he slipped a
piece of paper to friend among
the horde of correspondents out
side. All the message on this
paper-obviously prepared in adj
vance-said. was that Ford would
raise wages and reduce the price
of automobiles.
Ford copied all the headlines
and made Mr. Hoover very sour.
Less than five years ago the late
Senator James Couzens had ad-
vised Roosevelt to invite Ford to
the White House and make friends
with him. pointing out that Ford
didn't like Wall Street any better
than did the President.
But Ford declined. The govern
ment had stopped buying his auto
mobiles because he wouldn't play
ball with MIRA and Ford told
friends he wouldn't let it look as if
The had gone to Washington to
dicker over a few dollars.

mill. This is reputed to be the forerunner
of the most unusual and one of the largest
industrial developments that has ever come
to Western North Carolina It is unusual
because it is said to be the first plant of this
character to be established in the United
States: and it is fairly certain that if the
business is successful this initial plant will
be followed by other developments which
will mean much to this section of the State.
Henderson county congratulates Tran
sylvania and the town of Brevard on the
great good fortune which will certainly
come with the location of this plant at
Davidson River. ..." "' ..
The Times-News, the only newspaper in
this section which has ever printed any
part of the story of the loss of this industry
TO Henderson county, has no intention OF
resurrecting the record of the unfortunate
incident which prevented the location of
the plant on Mills River in Henderson
county; but it is not amiss or out of place
to direct attention at this time to the fact
that ali progressive citizens of Henderson
county heartily favored the building Of the
industry in this county and were ready and
willing to take any course or do anything
within the bounds of reason to enable the
promoters of the enterprise to secure the
site on Mills River. ,..'" q" "'s>N'AH
The Information this newspaper has is
that the Mills River site was first choice

of this industry Henderson county has sus-
tanned a terrific blow to it's hopes for in
dustrial development.
But this large body of citizens, in whose
character, business ability and activity, is
lodged whatever of hope for the future
Henderson county has, will not lose any
time or effort In crying over spilled milk.
They will CLEAN such benefits as may be
realized from the development of our
neighbor county, and grid themselves for
future battles for industrial upbuilding in
this county. ...s .,-a ..
The Fmes-News repeats that all right

though the building was structurally
sound, the seven-room units were not
acceptable to the average tenant in

and excessive cost of heat From a

On further analysis, however. it was
discovered that the building could be
modernized at a reasonable cost so as
to contain six units capable of pro-
