The Working Man Pays

Who bears the heaviest bur-
den when an unustified strike is
called? That is easy to answer
the working man.
The San Francisco Employers
Council recently published sur
vey of what happened in a num-
Der of recent strikes. In one case
1876 employees lost 81 days pay
and the strike was called off.
In another, $50 employees lost
1O7 days wages-and then the
strike was called off.
So it goes, down a long list.
And in the case of really big

Discrimination in Census Work

In another column of this
issue of the Mcdowell Times the
reader will find a letter from
Lawrence P. Edwards, colored,
of Coalwood, w. Va, who sought
to take the test for census emu
merator, and was told it would
be useless to take the tests as
white people may not want to
give colored enumerators the
correct data.
We gods and little fisnes! Why
not Do colored have to give the
white census enumerators cor
rect data? Are not we American
citizens? God created all man
kind and whether you want tc
stomache it or not, we are al
equal in the sight of God. You
didn't tell the Negro a short
time ago you were see.
vote that you white people die
not want to talk to him. This
only goes to show how that race
OF people Lincoln emahcipated
are handicapped on account of
color.
Lawrence P. Edwards is a gra-
duate of a leading state college
and a gentleman respected and
admired an a credit to any peo-
pie.

strikes, such as that against
Crysler, the wage loss to workers
runs far into the millions.
Labor organization is desire
able. A well organized and fairly
operated union is a great asset
to the laboring man. But the UNI
justified strike is really the re-
suit of unprincipled, self-seeking
labor leadership. Such labor
leaders don't have to worry
their salaries go on as usual. 1t
is the working man who pays
and pays and pays.

HOLES IN WALLS


LAFAYETTE, Ind. R - Small
holes are a good thing in outside
walls of up-to-date structures, &C
ccrding to results of study of in
sulating materials at Purdue Uni
yersity. Keeping such insulation
cry is n of the problems of
builders. Although protected from
rain, the insulating materials are
subjected to wet vapors which
form between walls.
The Purdue experiments show
that vapor pouring over insulation
does not wet it seriously unless
the vapor is confined. Holes in the
outside walls permit escape of the
vapor and prevent undesirable wet
ting. Holes are recommended for
outside walls Of refrigerator cars
for similar reasons. l

MANLEY SERVICES .
SPEAKERS LISTED
Advanced For Memorial
At High School Meet
-
Sunday Afternoon =,

The committee in charge of the
Father Manley memorial services
next Sunday afternoon at 5 o'clock
in the New Hanover High. school
auditorium last night announced
the speakers.
Phil Buchheit, of the Star-NeWs
advertising staff, will tell of
Father Manley, the friend of youth.
Mr.. Buchheit was long the init
mate associate of Father Manley
in the promotion, training and en-
couragement of athletics in this
vicinity, especially in the Golden
Gloves contests, and learned to
love St. Mary's former priest for
the manhood that was in him.
Judge Alton A. Lennon will
speak on Fathern Manley, the citi-
zen. In his duties as judge, Mr..
Lennon had many contacts with
Father Manley and exceptional op-
portunities to appraise his attri-
butes and his relationship to err
ring humanity.
Bishop Thomas c. Darst, of this
Episcopal diocese, will discuss the
priests service as a religious lead
er. These two were thrown to-
gether more intimately than most
clerics. and Bishop Darst's address
will be particularly interesting to
all who know that humanitarian
ism and integrity have no denom-
national frontiers. =
1t is announced by the sponsor
ing group that because of the great
reverence felt in all circles for
Father Manley and the limited
seating capacity of the High school
auditorium it will be advisable for
those who hope to hear the speak
ers to be on hand early. 3

Have Narrow Escape

Willis and Skippey Stiller, South
port youths, had a narrow escape
from death while sailing a small
boat at the mouth of the inland
waterway Saturday afternoon.
The tide was full and the boys sail.
ed their craft under the high ten
sion electric wires that run to Fort
Caswell. The mast of the boat struck
the wires and the whole craft be-
came covered with blush sparks.
James Frazier, who was on his
dock nearby, shouted to the boys
to jump into the river. They obey
ed promptly and this action probably
saved them from e~lectrocution. II
they had caught hold of the mast Of
the boat, they would undoubtedly
have been killed. The power had
to be shut off before the mast of
the boat could be released from the
wires.
