ment this early on successor to
Senator Lumpkin.
He said that If Senator Lumpkin,
a former Federal judge, had lived
to fill out his temporary appoint
ment, which would have ended De-
cember 8, she would have rendered
a great service that South Caro-
inians would have been proud Of"
The unexpired term of James F.
Byrnes, now Supreme Court JUS
tice, will be taken over December
by the winner in the special Sep
tember 80 general election. Gov.
Maybank is one of the three candi-
dates in the special Democratic pri-
mary September 2.
Il have lost a great friend, and I
am distressed" Gov. Maybank said.
II am indeed sorry that his service
for the next five months will not be
available to the people of South
Carolina"

UNITY OF LABOR, INDUSTRY AND

With the unheralded and vicious attack ON Pearl Harbor and Manila
Bay by Japanese MiGtarsm, Every American Man, Woman and Child is con-
fronted with a charcut challenge to their basic rights as citizens in a free
country skyrockeed into bold and sharp relief is the picture of what is now
the entire world at war; This Latest onslaught is n o mere battle between two
large powers fighting over territories and profits, but the stark realization of a
worldwide death struggle between the forces of light and darkness between,
free, democratic expression and Fascist dictatorship! 1t is all ne var, one front
directed from N source! japanese Mil itansm acting under the direction of
World Fascism! Every blow against the aggressor is a blow agnst that force
which threatens democracy.
The spotlight of American public opinion is nw focused squarey upon
the America First Committee and the appeasers in the State Department who
have made it possible for Japan 20 deliver this attack against the security of
u nation!
AS laborng men and women we re prepared to rise to the occasion. We
declare ourselves in readiness to produce the necessary materials to fight the
battle in the factories or O. the front to defeat Faeism wherever it raises it's
ugly head! The participation of Organized Labor, and laboring men and women
everywhere, must be IN a cooperative and voluntary basis. Represdve labor
legislation, predicated under the false over O.. the national emergency, is now
nothing short of treason and must be stricken from Congressional Records i'm
mediatdy!
We demand that all industry, General Motors and National Cash Register
in Dayton particularly assume their proper role of leadership in this crisis by
converting their full resourc into defense production at once! There must
be a end TO business as usual"
Through unity between Labor, Industry and Government a speedy
victory is assured.
Organized labor stands ready to work and fight
, 1941-12-08

At least twenty-five thousand
people were represented at this
Action Conference, called on very
short notice by the Montgomery
Industrial Union Council, when
word was received of the passage
of the vicious Smith Bill by the
House of Representatives We'd
nesday night.
The Conference heard Albert
Mikesell, well known Dayton law
yer, speak on the constitutional
aspects Of the Smith Bill. K. M.
Kirkendall, UE Representative,
spoke condemning all efforts of
appeasement and reactionary
forces to ham-string labor. Kir-
kendll urged Dayton labor to
fight to save it's fundamental
rights an dto defeat the fascist
elements in America who would
make slaves of American workers
and bring Hitlerism to this
country.
High point of the Conference
was the passage of the resolution,
stating in part; "The American
nation is engaged in an about
defense effort to save our indie
pendence and defeat Hitler; The
CLIO has put forward a genuine
and workable solution to the
present lag in defense production,
namely, the Murray Plan, which
calls for conferences of govern
ment, labor and management to
work out defense problems, thus
securing the full and voluntary
participation of labor"
"T1he workers are ready ITO
fight against Hitler, but are
equally ready to fight in defense
of the Bill of Rights. Therefore be
it resolved, that this conference
goes on record in militant oppo-
sition to the Smith Bill and any
and all other repressive anti
labor and anti-strike legislation;
further that delegates shall 60
from this conference to Wash
ington to carry out this program"

Mystery Clouds
Suicide Death
|0f Navy Envoy

Mystery surrounding the death
Of Lieut.. Commander Walter Ray.
mond Jones, native of Grand
Ledge, Mich, assistant naval at
tache at the American embassy al
London. increased today.
On the heels of a statement in
the House by Rep. Shafer (R) OF
Michigan, that he learned Jones
had been killed in Ireland, the
navy department now has an
nounced that Jones committed
suicide.
SUICIDE VERDICT
In London the Evening News
reported today that a verdict OF
suicide while temporarily insane
was handed down at a secret in
quest.
The inquest was held at London
derry, where Jones was found dead
after going to northern Ireland on
a secret mission. According to the
Evening News, the body was found
with a bayonet wound in the
heart.
At the embassy in London
friends said Jones had been i'll for
some time and had been approach
ing a nervous breakdown.
Previously Jones uncle, J. B.
Jones of Grand Ledge. Mich, re-
ceived a telegram from Rear Ad-
miral c. w. NimitZ, chief of the
navy's bureau of navigation, stat
ing that the naval officer had died
in London. Yesterday he received
another telegram from the bureau
of medicine and surgery of the
navy, saying that the body would
have to be cremated or buried in
London.
Jones was a former aide at the
White House and at one time was
commander of the presidential
yacht.

The Board of Education today
awarded its juiciest puma half
million dollar order for coal-to
the Koenig Fuel and Supply Com
pany and in so doing set the stage
for a bitter battle with Mayor
Edward j. Jeffries Jr.
The mayor has stated he would
attempt TO keep the Koenig firm
from getting any future city bust
ness because of the part its sales
manager played in the Herman
Gardens housing scandal,
School board purchasing is en-
tirely separate of the regular city
purchasing department, but the
mayor has the authority TO veto
any action Of the school board.
KOENIG co. BID
Koenig was the only bidder on
IS, 500 tons of nut, pea, and slack
at 1924 ton. 1t was low on H.
$50 tons of egg at $3.50 and 3,100
tons of stove at $3.50.
Member A. Douglas Jameson
made a long speech against award
ing the business TO Koenig and
urged that the board readvertised
for bids on broader specifications.
He was outvoted however, by
members John II. Webster. Frank
a. German, and Mrs. Laura F.
Osborn, all of whom favored
koenig.
The present specifications of the
board call for 80 per cent of Volt
tile matter which reduces smoke
but limits the number of firms
that can supply the coal
Members Oscar c. Hull and
Jameson favor lifting this re-
quirement so that the board can
get the advantage of competition
in the bidding.
The Koenig company has had
almost all of the school boards
coal business for the last eight
years.
II think we would be open TO
serious criticism II we let this
contract on the basis of only y
one bid" Jameson said.
I'VE may be open TO criticism
but we will at least know we
are going to get the COAL" re-
piled Mrs. Osborn.

Edward NJ. Lane, secretary OF

other coal dealers had expressed
desire to bid providing the speci-
fications were lowered.
Jameson pointed out that the
Detroit Edison Company and other
large coal users were buying lower
quality fuel.
The board tangled with Mayor
Jeffries a year ago on the coal
purchases because the board in
sisted on giving the business TO
Koenig even though another firm
put in a lower bid.

Zuswv WHEN AN OWNER Of lowest.priced car
changes to Pontiac, the first good news
~ he gets is the small size of his monthly
payments. For, contrary TO what some may think,
Pontiac owners will tell you Pontiac is priced so
close to the lowest.priced they hardly notice
fbedUereHee in their monthly payments!
Yet this is only ope nay Pontiac saves YOU
money Owners will also tell YOU that Pontiac is
SO economical on gas, oil and upkeep that it is
actually costing them no more-and sometimes
le"-to own and operate than their former
lowestpriced cars!
And the best news of all is that you actually pay
