This Changing World
Half of World to Celebrate Christmas
On Large Scale First Time in 10 Years

gion is the "opiate Of capitalism. u
When the Bolshevists took over
Russia, they first attacked the
church, because the Russian peo-
pie were intensely religious.
Priests were killed by the thou
sands In the early days Of the
Russian regime. Churches were
transformed into warehouses and
stables. Topographic cartoons
villitied Christ and to a lesser
degree Moses and Mohammed.
Anyone attending divine services
was marked for arrest and de-
portation. Since the Russians
were overwhelmingly Christian
the persecution Of the Christian
church was more intense.
Now Political Football.
In the last Is years-and par
ticularly during World War II
when Russia became a world
power-the Kremlin leaders pro-
fessed to change their policy and
proclaimed religion once more
free. In fact, the church became
a political football for the pur-
poses of the Politburo. The Rus
sian church was re-established
with a patriarch at its head. But
he was hand picked by the Polit-
buro to serve the purposes for
which the church had been re-
constituted.
The activities Of the Russian
church now are widespread. In
Jerusalem. for instance, there
are several Russian monasteries
which, after the revolution in
1918. were completely neglected
by Moscow. They. too, were con-
sidered to be spreading the
"opiate of capitalism" When the
Kremlin became religious" once
more, the patriarch went on an
inspection tour of Jerusalem. On
his return subsidies were renewed
and new abbots were sent from
Moscow-all doubtful Christians,
but thoroughly reliable MVD men.
Now throughout the area domi-
mated by the U. S. 8. r. religion
is permitted-provided it Is in the
service Of the Politburo-not for
Christian reasons but as an addi-
tional instrument to dominate the
enslaved people.
Under such conditions the men
at the helm in Moscow and its
satellites discourage any truly re-
ligious celebrations. They do not
want Christ to cast a shadow over
Stain. who under the Kremlin
concept is above everything NOR
tai and immortal.
Any demonstration Of faith or
belief in anything but Stain
would be prejudicial to Moscow's

to tighten their belts since the
outbreak Of World War II are
going on an actual spree. They
have lived In fear of another ca.
tastrophe ever since the conflict
ended. Now, with rumblings from
the East more ominous than ever
they will celebrate the birth OF
Jesus Christ in their traditional
prewar manner.
In countries with controlled
economies strict restrictions on
food and small luxuries have been
suspended for the week Of the
Nativity. In other countries spe-
cial bonuses paid to workers and
employees enable them to make
this Christmas the cheeriest since
before the war.
Old Customs Revived.
Centuries-old customs in Italy,
France and other Western Euro
pean countries have been revived
Even in devastated Germany peo-
pie now have the chance to cele-
brate Christ's birthday in the
traditional manner. The down.
and-outs-and there are many In
the former Reich - are being
helped by the armies of occupa-
ton, which have forgotten war
time bitterness and remember
now only that they are all Chris
tians.
Attendance in churches is ex-
pected to reach a new high. In
spite Of Communist propaganda
in many European countries, peo-
pie have been going to church
more frequently than they used
to. This Sunday churches are
expected to be filled to capacity.

birth will be celebrated in the pri-

The plot unfolded neatly In
early October when sale Of the
plants was announced to the J. r.
Abney interests Of Anderson, S. c.,
which operate several mills in the
Greenville area, none of which
have unions. The mills were re-
opened October II. In its rehiring,
the company avoided workers for
merly active in the union and
hired some persons who had not
worked In cotton mills for years
and had never worked at either Of
the two plants.
The union notified the company
October 20 that 1t was the collec-
tive bargaining agent for the
workers, protested the rehiring
policies and asked for q confer
ence. but 1t got no reply until
early this month in a letter which,
in effect. challenged the unions
right to representation. The union
has filed charges with the NLRH
claiming violation of the National
Labor Relations Act. listing 400
workers who have been denied
employment. It will take a long
time for this to 60 through the

That Is the South where the

ers old tricks abandoned long ago

Case History Reviewed.
There is, for example, the illu-
minating case history Of two tex
tile mills in Northern Alabama,
at Albertsville and Guntersville
in the heart of the IVA area.
formerly the Saratoga Victory
mills which employed 750 persons.
The workers there were organized
into unions of the Textile Work.
ers Union of America and con-
tracts went into effect July /,
1916. T
The mills were operating subsi-
diaries of M. Lowenstein and
Sons, Inc, which owned other
mills In North and South Caro-
lima and one more recently ac-
quired in New Orleans, in all Of
which the TWUA had contracts
covering the workers.
Last spring the two Alabama
plants were closed down by the
company with the announcement
that they could not be operated
profitably and Immediately things
began to happen.
The supervisory force left at
the plants, under direction of
w. H. McGaha, formerly super
intendent Of the Albertsville plant
who became superintendent Of
both when they were closed, began
a campaign to break up the union,
on which later developments throw
some light.
The first tactics were to circu-
late printed cards to the workers
authorizing withdrawal from the
union. In July the tactics became
more direct. Through an employe
Of the Albertsville plant the super
intendent had the word passed
around among former workers
there that there was a prospective
buyer for the mill who operated
nine other non-union plants. The
deal would not 60 through, the
workers were informed. II there
was q Nuaion At o. plant. and it
was suggested that union members
| go to the superintendent's office
and indicate whether they would
work without union.
Persuasive to Workers.
Since the plant had been closed
three months by that time, this
was persuasive with q number OF
workers who needed jobs.
At Guntersville, Mr.. McGaha
told a committee Of former en-
ployes at that plant that it would
begin operations If the workers
would sign q petition saying they
would not join q union. and such
| . petition was circulated which

newspaper:
