FREE SPEECH

The National Labor Relations Board
has ordered the Ford Motor Co. to
desist at its Summerville, Mass, plant,
from circulating literature disparag-
ing labor organizations, on the
grounds that such literature is coer-
Give and an interference with the right
of employees to organize. Nor does the
constitutional right of free speech pro-
tect the employer-the Board declares
that free speech is qualified and MOI
an absolute right"
That's a tough one to understand.
Under the National Labor Relations
Act, it is now an unfair" labor prac-
tice for the employer to discharge en-
ployes for union activities. Employees
thus discharged can, under the law,
obtain reinstatement and back pay,
and this has been done in numerous
instances. Even if an employer wanted
to coerce or intimidate an employee into
not joining union, this provision in
the Act and its enforcement, protects
the employee. The question then is:
Does the Act deny an employer his
right Of free speech in expressing his
opinion to employees on activity which
he believes unsound?
If a governmental bureau can say
that free speech is a qualified and
not an absolute right" and be upheld
in that position, we have dictator
ship started in this nation right no.
and we might as well admit it. Such q
board could stretch its term, qualified
and not an absolute right" to cover
practically any statement that it
wished to deny an opponent of its pol
icy or decisions, the right to make.

William F. Broening, former Re-
publican mayor of Baltimore, entered
the Republican race for the Senatorial
nomination against former Governor
Harry Nice. There are two leading
candidates for the Democratic nominal
ton, Howard Bruce and Senator Rad
cliffe, the latter seeking reelection.
A tornado in Georgia struck the
city of Albany in that State, killing
II and injuring 500. Property damage
amounted to five million dollars.
Lord Tweedsmuir, general

a conclusion as the result of a fall.
James A. Farley entered the Massa-

Herbert Hoover posed before the

Only one fatality occurred in Mary

OUR HOPES REALIZED

Our hopes and those of quite num-
Der in this section have been realized
The Carnation Milk Company is to
construct a milk receiving station
here that presents an opportunity to
every farmer in this area.
That opportunity is the chance to
sell as much milk as the farmer can
produce on his farm, and thus give
him the further opportunity of hav-
ing an extra income from his labors
This won't mean a bed of roses for
every farmer. Dairying is not an easy
task. But it does mean that every in
dustrious farmer who enters into the
business seriously, whether he be a
large or a small producer, will have a
chance to profit from this addition to
the community.
1t can mean a more prosperous town
and county, better and cleaner looking
farms, better homes and more pros
porous people.
The policy of the company is such
that merits confidence.
Its representative first came and
made survey.

years.
They didn't ask the town or its
people to buy stock in the enterprise.
They didn't ask the farmers to sign
any agreements.
They simply decided this area was
good location and one which could
stand expansion in dairying.
They purchased their own site.
They will erect a plant costing
$4,000 and they expect, by their fair
dealings with farmers to receive their
share of milk from this section.
The farmers will no doubt take ad-
vantage of this opportunity. Such OPP

Ralph Pritts invites you!
BEFORE YOU BUY ANY CAR
SEE THE 1910 DODGE!
Come in! Let us show you
why Engineers say Dodge gives
most for your money!

AToW new-car buyers can have the most val
IN liable advice in the world-without even
asking for it! It's the simple but significant fact
that 4, O61 engineers bought Dodge cars in the
last twelve n7onths.f
What better proof of a great motorcar? What
more convincing evidence that Dodge gives you
most for your money? Mechanical engineers,
structural engineers, electrical engineers-me
who know car value inside and out-not only
praise Dodge, but buy Dodge FOR their own use
in preference to other cars.
And people who want a smart car, and lux
urious car, are just as enthusiastic. They rave
about Dodge's new windstreamed beauty it's
gorgeous interiors, its countless new ideas
Why not come in and let US demonstrate this
magnificent new Luxury Liner? You'll wonder
how Dodge can sell such big, luxurious car for
just few dollars more . M

AN UNDESERVED BLACK
EYE is GIVEN GARRETT
COUNTY

Every time the Forestry Depart
ment of Maryland makes a fire report
(Which is several times each Year,
Garrett county is given an undeserved
black eye.
In the annual report of the depart
ment, which was issued recently, Wal
ter J. Quick, Jr., assistant State for
ester reports that Garrett county
topped the list of incendiary fires in
the woods with At of the 129 through
out the State. The year previous Gar
rett county also headed the list-ac-
cording to the report.
In addition Mr.. Quick reported that
a certain number Of fires were kindled
from cigars or cigarets carelessly de-
posted in the woods or along the high
ways. If cigars or cigarets are re-
ways.
Isn't it absolutely true that if cigars
or cigaret stubs are responsible for
fires, isn't it likewise true that these
stubs would also be consumed and the
evidence of their origin destroyed ?
Then how does the forestry department
employees attribute these fires to cigars
or cigarets?
In like manner evidences of incen-
diary fires are destroyed with the
burning of the area where they take
place.
The Republican repeats, the black
eye is undeserv6d, and the forestry
department heads have no right to
make such statements without proof
to back them up.
To the knowledge of The Republi-
can (and we have been on the job con-
tinuously for nigh onto fifty years.
there has never been a conviction in
Garrett county of anyone intention
ally setting fire to the forests.
If the forestry department has in
formation that would serve to con-
vict one, then why has it never been
presented? If they don't have the ev-
idence to convict then the department
understudies should not be permitted
to make such statements.
There was one arrest made in the
county last year, however. An elderly
man of good repute was hauled into
town on a charge of setting fire to
the woods. The evidence was that he
was riding a white horse. He was dis
charged following a preliminary hear
ing as no evidence Of an discriminating
nature was produced against him.
Garrett county has the largest for
est area by far of any county in the
State. And yet there are five counties
that had many more fires than oc-
Cured in Garrett county. Baltimore
county had 100 fires last year am
Garrett county had 102, according tt
the report.
Apparently the easiest way to fill in
a forest fire report is to mark the
cause "incendiary." That saves inves
LEGATION on the part of the department
and satisfies the heads in Baltimore
Tor Annapolis).
Forestry departments officials il
Maryland should make an effort tt
prove their contentious or shut up.

Tennessee Paper
Attacks Labor
School Again

| NASHVILLE, Tenn. = (FP) - The
Nashville Banner has launched an.
other of it's seasonal crusades against
the Highlander Folk School at Mont
eagle, Tenn, and is using the same
old charges in its renewed smearing
campaign.
The article opened with flat state
ment that "Grundy county doesn't
want Highlander Folk School," From
the stories given in support of that
allegation, it would appear that the
anti-union coal corporations, reaction
airy bankers and other labor-hating
groups in the county don't like the
idea of a labor school on the southern
mountain top.
Highlander's friends are rallying to
its support in letters to the Nashville
newspapers. James G. Stahlman,
publisher of the Banner, was presi-
dent of the reactionary American
Newspaper Publishers Assn for two
terms, leaving office in April 1899
When advertising in trade journals,
the Banner prefers to speak of Nash
vile as foremost in cultural activities.
Thus Banner advertisement in the
yearbook of Editor &
Publisher said: Here is the cultural
center of the South with 3S colleges,
schools and universities"
It's that seth school that worries
Stahlman.
