The Cultons had only $40
between them when they
were married in 1880. They
started out as sharecroppers
on a farm about Is miles
from the one they now own.
At the end of the first year,
they put away $28 after buy

in order to move up to tea

In 1882 they barely broke
even on their cotton, but
from eggs and a few vege-
tables, they had a net of $11
to save toward that farm OF
their own. Through Ii more
years they scrimped and
saved. By 1916, they had
$4,000.
On a hill overlooking Nor
mangee was a rundown farm
for sale for $4,000. They
drew $4,000 out of the bank

should give without beating about the bush But the
gentleman goes further. He only does not pen

worker, but of keeping him productivity employed"

another suit for the same
amount.
He is being sued by Walter
Murphy, Administrative Assist
ant to Richard Gosser, UAW In
ternational Vice President who
contends that in connection with
an editorial published in the To-
ledo Blade on Jan. IA, 1850 he is
exposed to hatred, ridicule, con-
tempt, shaem and disgrace.
The suit was filed Monday af-
ternoon by union attorney Low

The Willys worker having
filed a $4,000 suit last week is
Robert Cousino, member of the
Willys Unit Flying Squadron
which has been referred to as
"Gosser's Goons."
All Misstatements
The Blade in their editorial
and in preceding news stories
stated that Mr.. Murphy slugged
a John Bolman. who recently
was expelled from the UAW by
the international Union, when
the ex-union member at meet
ing of the Automotive Workers
Building Corporation asked to
inspect the books of the AWBC.
Contrary to that statement, the
ex-union member called Walter
Murphy "Scab" which started
a melee in the meeting. Before
Murphy could reach Bolman the
fracas was over.
Published 1t Regardless
The Blade stated that Bolman
was slugged for asking to inspect
the books even though they were
told that it was not the truth.
The statement from the union Of
ficials actually informed the re-

the book inspection after the fra

the books. Immediately after be-
