Holmes county mas gradually grown
worse. Nine years ago a few opera
tors sold whiskey and people who
wanted it took it home or elsewhere
with them to drink Today we have
one joint after another lining the
highways going in and out of every
town in the county. Slot machines
are seen in practically all of them
and open gambling in several. Drink
ing, drunkenness, cursing, fighting
goes on from time to time depending
on the time of night or week.
The places are full of lawlessness
and corruption and not fit, even safe,
for sober people.
There are plenty Of people in Hol-
mes county who enjoy drink, but,
like the writer, feel that such places
should be padlocked and not allow
ed to remain challenge to every
thing decent and law abiding.
When we have reached the stage
where some returning servicemen
say they wouldn't think Of raising
families in Holmes county we have,
indeed, sunk to new low.

It should be evident to the citi-
gems of Holmes county that the boot
1eggers in this county have prosper
ed to such an extent that they think
they can get. by with murder Il. !.
and they will get by with just that
unless something is done to curb
their lawlessness.
The fact is the people who are en-
gagged in bootlegging are making so
much money that they will not, un-
der any circumstances, give it up
unless they are compelled to.
These bootleggers have been in
the business for so long right here
in Holmes county and have not been
bothered with the law for so long
that gradually they have just about
grown to regard themselves as legiti-
mate business men. They have been
operating so long and haven't been
bothered that they have arrived at
the stage where they don't think
anytime should be done to them.
by the law or anyone else. After all,
don't a lot Of the best people in the
county patronize them?

Holmes county reinforcement
officials raided Herbert Downer's
place near Lexington on the old
Tchula road Monday. According to
the Sheriff's return to the Justice
of the Peace two cases Of liquor was
seized. The Sheriff's return also
stated there were no gambling de-
vices found.
For many months whiskey has
been displayed out on the shelves
of the Downer store. Usually there
is more than two cases displayed on
the shelves to say nothing of re-
serve stock on or just off the prem
ises.
Slot machines, too, have been dis
played at this place for many months
and, according to our information,
are still openly displayed.
In addition, for some time now,
q crap table for open gambling has
been in the Downer store. Accord
ing to our information crap game
was going on there today.
It is odd that no gambling devices
were in evidence when the raid was
made by our Holmes county law
enforcement officials. The devices
were certainly there prior to the raid
and they are still there.

Job Farley Charges
Truman With Fdi|inq
To Fight for Security

Representatives of 200 national
organizations meeting in Washing
ton in the National Emergency Con-
ference on Jobs and Security charge
the Truman administration with
failing to fight for basic program
of economic security.
The delegates also agreed to form
one organization to fight for full
employment legislation, higher
wages and social security.
A statement of policy adopted
unanimously by the conference late
yesterday in the National Press
Club auditorium charged that 1.-THE
failure of our Government to fight
for the enactment of a basic pro-
gram of economic security and to
assume the leadership in rallying
the people to such program has
allowed an economic crisis to de-
velop."
1t added: THE forces of reaction
seek to take advantage of this crisis
to place the blame for labor unrest
on the workers. BY this means they
hope to secure the passage of legisla-
ton to penalize labor unions, abridge
the right to strike and curtail labors

The conference was arranged by
committee including Elmer Benson,
chairman of the National Citizens
Political Action Committee; Philip
Murray, president of the CLIO; Mrs.
j. Borden Hartman, Americans

Cafeteria Conferees
To Meet Again Monday

Union and management repre-
sentatives of Government Services,
Inc, today scheduled another meet
ing Monday in last-minute attempt
to stave off strike of 1890 workers
In 81 cafeterias in Government
buildings.
In the election conducted Thurs
day by the National Labor Relations
Board the workers voted overwhelm-
ingly in favor of a strike.
The conferees met yesterday but
failed to make any progress, it was
reported. Joseph White, president
of Cafeteria Workers Local All, CLIO,
said, however, a strike definitely
would not be staged before expira-
ton of the present contract at
midnight Monday.
The controversy centers about the
unions demand for a 80 per cent
wage increase. Government Serv-
ices, which operates the cafeterias,
contends that 1t cannot afford to
grant the salary increases.
