TABOR CITY, Oct. 20. - North
Carolina faces the threat of union
ization of teachers unless adequate
compensation is provided for in the
state budget, Willard G. Cole, exc
cutive secretary of the Tabor City
Merchants Association, declared in
an address before the Woman's
Club Eere.
cit will be a sad commentary
upon the citizenship of the state
if the teaching profession is forced
into such a STEP" he declared.
but I say to you now that never
again must the teachers in any
county of our state be dragged
down to the level where they must
kick-back to a political organization
to hold their jobs; never again
must the profession be allowed to
thin its ranks through inadequate
pay. and never again must they be
forced to beg and plead for what
is rightfully theirs an adequate
pay voucher"
Citing the trend away from the
teaching profession, the Tabor City
Merchants secretary asserted that
"a baseball manager may easily
fit a rookie into an aggregation of
veterans and even win the p%ennant,
but when there are nine rockies
on the field you haave a sub-stand-
ard club"

The S~OutnedSleTn part OIL NOTul
Carolina is destined to become
famous for its high quality blue
berries. A start has been made;
profits from the berries so far
planted have been good; and there
is a demand for all that can be pro-
| duced. Those who have established
the BURBERRY orchards naturally
are none too enthusiastic about so
many others planting the bushes;
but there is too great a demand
for the new cultivated varieties
for the acreage not to be increased.
The berries seem to flourish in
that part of the state, and there
is no reason why it should not
become as famous for its dew
berries as it is now for its straw
berries.
H. R. Niswonger, extension hor-
ticulturist, was in Onslow county
the other day visiting with C. C.
Clark, Jr., Onslow farm agent,
who has several farmers in that
county interested in growing the
blueberries. They selected one Is
acre site on the farm of R. A.
Hartsfield of Jacksonville as an
ideal spot for BURBERRY produc-
ton. Mr.. Hartsfield will grow the
Weymouth, R%ancocas, Stanley,
Scamell, and Jersey varities. Pri-
marily a tobacco farmer, Mr..
Hartsfield also grows some pea
nuts, corn, and hay crops. He has
an idea that small fruits such as
blueberries and grapes will length
en- out his cropping season and
tend to keep his labor better oc-
cupied throughout the year on a
more profitable basis than in the
case when he grows tobacco, alone,
as a cash crop. He plans to set
out several acres to muscadine
grapes as well as the blueberries
because he believes there is a
good market for these two crops
in the future.
K. b. Harper, county agent, says
that C.. A. Jones of Bladen county
also is interested in planting blue
berries. Mr.. Jones is going to dig
or blast an 600-foot ditch SO as to
drain a bay that will be set in
BURBERRY bushes. This combina-
ton of blueberries and muscadine
grapes, as planned by a number
of these eastern North Carolina
farmers is going to prove a profit
able combination of small fruits
for that area in the opinion of
Horticulturist NisWonger. He adds
that production should be followed
by processing plants which would
add to the general income of the
section.
w. G. CALDWELL, assistant farm
agent in Moore, has found that
where Sandhill farmers have as
few as three to twelve vines OF
the muscadine grapes, they get
a nice profit from the fruit. Will
Richardson Of Vass. for instance,
gets enough income from his soup
pernong grapes to pay the taxes
on his farm. A great percentage
of the muscadine grapes planted
both in the Sandhills and in east
ern Carolina are of the scupper-
nong type; but, talking with M.
E. Gardner, head of the depart
ment of horticulture, l learned
that the fruit scientists of the
Experiment Station have some new
varieties of both white and black
muscadines that are going to make
our old-time scuppernongs take a
back seat. Mr.. Gardner says that
some fineflavored new varieties are
coming and will soon be in produc-
ton. He mentioned one or two,

New Legislation Makes
Bermuda Unions Legal

New York City (ILNS).-Labor
unions on the island of Bermuda, Brit
ish colony, have finally been legalized,
the New York Times reports in cor
respondence from Hamilton, the CAPT.
tai. The Times says:
Labor legislation will go on the
statute books for the first time as
result of the Assembly's reversal of
it's previous adamant stand not to rec
ognize the need for such laws here.
Unanimously the Assembly put it's
seal of approval on bill designed to
deal with the handling of labor dis
putes and setting forth methods of
arbitration.
"In some respects the legislation is
ahead of similar statutes in bigger
communities. It provides for admission
of the press to arbitration proceedings
if the arbitrators agree. In fact the
final decision on the bill was delayed
because some Of the Assemblymen feel
that the press should have the right
of admission not subject to arbitra-
tors whims.
During the debate it was pointed
out that the effect of the bill would be
to- legalize the trade unions which
had been barred in law but not in
practice since workmen will be rep
resented before the arbitrators."
The Butler County press. [volume] (Hamilton, Ohio) 1900-1946, 1946-01-11

Labor, too, is power. And there
should be pause to consider whether
people will also press a demand for
closer inspection and perhaps more
regulation Of the power that is organ
lied labor.
True, labor is not formed into cor
porations, nor should it ever be. But
it is power and as such it already
invites the hostile attention of GER
tain political forces, some of which
are looking for fame, some of which
just don't like labor and some Of
which are honestly convinced that
labor has too much unrestrained pow
er. Surely there is here at least food
for thought.

Congress overwhelmingly approved a
resolution calling upon the United
States Government to fuse it's good

Now many years ago the state be-
gan to put curbs on corporations, on
that very ground. 1t put curbs on
stock selling, for example. And it
grabbed deep for what we call ex-
cess profits.
Thus, because the state gives GER
tain projections and immunities, it
has certain moral obligations to see
that, at least in some ways, there is
honesty and fairness in stock trans
actions.
The line runs straight on to a COM
plete knowledge of the books, IF the
state wants to follow the line.
But undeniably that line also runs
toward further power for the state
and that power is combination Of
veto and compulsion. Take it or leave
it-for that is how it is.
A decade and more ago the soap
boxers used to tell us that the days
of laissez faire were over. Well may
be we're now about to bury them.
Who knows?
Whatever the present outcome, the
issue was bound to arise.
It is phase of the long, long con-
test between people and power.
Whether the method of procedure
by President Truman is the right one
is another matter.
But one thing is fairly certain: You
cannot intrude the power Of the peo-
pie to curb the operations of one
kind of power without risking the
same kind of intrusion to curb-or at
least to inspect ct-other types Of pow
er.

There's basic question involved in
the General Motors-CIO dispute over
examining of the corporations books.
It's dispute also between GIN and
the President.
How private is the business of a
corporation-and how public?
If corporate books are thrown open
to fact-finders we shall unquestion-
ably have taken a long, long step
further toward state control Of bust
ness.
But here's thought that seems to
have been overlooked as an argument
for publicity of corporate finances:
Corporations are creatures Of the
state. By virtue of incorporation GER
tain projections and rights are con-
ferred by the state. Certain immuni-
ties are granted to the individuals in
the corporation.
The corporation-an impersonal but
legal entity-takes the risks of suits
and defaults off the shoulders Of the
individuals and puts them on the
shoulders of the corporation, which
can feel no pain and which cannot go
to jail.
BY reason of the protection given
by the state, it can be argued that
the state has stake in the business
and certain rights to peer into it's

CONGRESS TAKES
A HOLIDAY
By Lewis G. Hines
AFL Legislative Representative

You may not believe it, but men,
bers of Congress work just as hard as
the rest of us. They do enjoy this great
advantage, however. They can take
holiday whenever they decide they
need one. Apparently, they need one
now, because they have voted to re-
cess until January 15. We wish them a
Merry Christmas, Happy New Year
and we hope they will get good rest.
Because they have their work cut out
for them when they return.
The amount of unfinished business
left over by Congress is staggering.
President Truman has submitted to
Congress in the last few months a
comprehensive program dealing with
the human needs of all the American
people in peacetime. 1t is no exagge-
ration to say that Congress has failed
utterly to act constructively on this
program. Not single one of the
must" measures urgently recommend
ed by the President has been approved
Let's call the roll Item No. was
the Full Employment Bill. The House
and the Senate have each adopted
different bill on this subject, but both
are disappointing. Representative Mat
thew M. Nicely Of West Virginia aptly
described the House bill when he said:
"This bill is no more like a Full
Employment Bill than the jackass in
the lions skin was like the king of
beasts which the skin had originally
adorned"
Then take Item No. 2-the Unem-
ployment Compensation Bill. The Sen
ate passed watered-down version of
what the President recommended and
the nation badly needs, kat the House
Ways and Means Committee has
buried the entire subject in a pigeon
hole.
Item No. is being subjected to
slow death by delay. 1t is the new
w dSC Dill. Lie OcIIdLS OOll-
mittee postponed further hearings un-
til late in January and the House has
MT shown even that much interest.
Item No. affects your health and
mine. 1t is the Health Insurance Bill.
Except for few progressive leaders,
Congress has thus far turned deaf
ear to this badly needed social reform
which would make the best medical
care available to all the American peo-
pie on a sound insurance basis.
could go on with this list to far
greater extent if time permitted, but
! think the point is.clear. If Congress
could do no better than the record of
its last session, it certainly needs va
cation. We hope that when the men,
bers Of Congress go home for the
holidays they will hear from you on
these subjects and come back deter
mined to fulfill the requirements Of
the American people.
