Regardless Of what you may
think, Mr.. Brewer. ~ told him,

answered MIR. Brewer ito whom

I was naturally surprised at Mr.
Brewers apparent lack OF knowl-
edge on civic affairs. had hither-

informed persons who knew OF
matters that went on in the con-
duct of their own communities.

Fifth In Series
The speech OF last Tuesday was
the fifth Of a series. 1t was the
only speech to receive any show
Of publicity in the CUMBERLAND
NEWS. which captioned the al
most full single column quotation
OF the address" with Brewer
Defends Business Against Blind
Attacks"
The writer had been asked by
c. !. o. unions to take a record
Of the address and upon its con-
clusion made immediate protests
to both Brewer and the manager
OF Station WTBO. The station
management offered free time to
make rebuttal address. but it is
anticipated that the c. I. o. Coun-
Gil will refuse this offer as 1t does
not desire to engage in contro-
versy with persons who do not
know what they are talking about.
In the speech, widely quoted by
the CUMBERLAND NEWS. APP
pears the following statement BY
Mr.. Brewer, who is President of
the Liberty Trust Company. Cum
berland:-
"Agitators, anxious 10 line
their own pockets with unsus-
pecting dues, are now attacking
this system that has provided
us all so well. They complain
that business has been hood
winking the public and cheat
ing the workers. Yet instead of
trying TO help business. they
have fought II. Instead of Civ
ing us more jobs they have given
us less, and instead Of bringing
security TO The worker and his
family, they have hurt his job
by hurting business. And here
In Cumberland several million
dollars In wages have been for
ever lost by needless strikes"
Interview Brewer
on Wednesday morning inter-
viewed Mr.. Brewer at the Liberty
Trust Bank. asked him If he
would enlighten our readers and
the general public on the objective
of the programs. He answered,
"They are designed to inform the
people Of Cumberland on what

mote good will when you assert
that 'Agitators. anxious to line

mean anyone In particular"
But, is such quotation in line
