Morals and Smoking
Roland BeGsley in the
Monroe JOuYYs0I)

There has always been a
moral crusade against smok-
ing. King James started it. At
that time the Virginia planters
were growing rich cultivating
tobacco and the English market
absorbed much Of it as it does
today. Tobacco was used in Vir-
ginia for currency. The churches
paid their preachers so many
pounds Of tobacco per year and
the state received tobacco for
taxes. This was shipped to Eng
land and traded for goods.
Notwithstanding this King
James, the defender Of the
faith, issued a paper which he
The Chapel Hill weekly., 1950-06-30

called the Counter Blaste to
Tobacco. He called its use a
custom loathsome to the eyes,
hateful to the nose, harmful to
the brain, dangerous to the
lungs, and in the black, sinking
fumes thereof nearest resem-
bling the horrible Stygian
smoke Of the pit that is bottom
less"
But nobody seemed to quit
and the King had his pains for
nothing. Many of the church
disciplines used to condemn the
use of tobacco, and that condem-
nation is said to be still in the
discipline of the Methodist
church. But the Methodist
church surrendered its opposi-
tion forty odd years ago when
the Duke tobacco money began
pouring into the church treas
ury. Some of the good Methodist
brethren held out against it for
a time. Rev. w. r. Ware, who
was the beloved pastor here for
several years, was one of the
ministers who refused to re-
treat on the subject OF cigar
cites. We Baptist brethren, who
are disposed to take things
rather easy, are now getting in
the position with the Reynolds
people such as the Methodists
got in with the Dukes. The out
come will be the same.

tions, not with many pages going
through the press at the same
time. A section has 4 pages. For
the customary 12-page issue we
have what we cali the first
run" the Amid-run," and the
t'last run" The editor and the
assistant editor start at the
weekend and have the frst-run
stuff ready Monday night to be
put in type and run off on the
press on Tuesday. The mid-run
is printed Wednesday, and the
last run goes to press around ]
or 2 o'clock Thursday and is
printed Thursday afternoon.
Then the II pages are run
through a mechanical folder
(being fed into it by HANDY. The
final step in the newspaper pro-
duction job, the addressing and
wrapping and the putting into
the mail sacks supplied by the
post Office, is usually completed
somewhere around 6 or z in the
evening.
This is the briefest possible
description Of the process. There
is a great deal of detail that /
won't go into here. A fact of
which many people are not
aware is that there is lot Of
rush about producing a weekly,
as there is about producing a
daily newspaper. The newspaper
printing has to be fitted into
job-printing commitments, and
80 a rigid time schedule has to
be followed.
The printers came back from
their vacation yesterday, Thurs
day, June 29, to do the usual
printing of the last run (which
consists Of pages j, 4, 5, and 81.
But what about the first run and

Some of you may be wonder
ing why this weeks paper con-
tains only 8 pages instead Of the
usual II.
The reason is that the Orange
Printshop, which prints the
Chapel Hill Weekly, has been
closed for a week. The men and
women on the force have been
getting a little rest and recrea-
tion. They certainly deserve it,
for they work hard under heavy
pressure.
Though the Weekly is Of
course the part Of the shops
production that is most impor-
tant to the editor and his stat,
and has the right Of way, it is a
minor part OF the production by
the measure of volume. The limo
typers, hand d-compositors, press
men, and other persons who work
under the direction of w. n.
Pugh, the proprietor, turn out
books, periodicals (among which
are the Alumni Review and
Popular Government), pam
phlets, school ANNALS, and varied
miscellaneous jobs. A year or 50
ago ! published an article about
how the shop had printed a novel
for Scribner's of New York. This
information naturally surprised
people here who had had no idea
that a Chapel Hill printer had a
customer 80 far away. Another
customer has been the Govern
ment Printing Office in Wash
ington, which has had more work
than it could do in it's own plant.
A village newspaper is a sort
Of neighborhood enterprise. in
the sense that people in homes
and in places Of business and up
and down the streets have an
intimate relationship with it that
is not possible in the case Of a
city newspaper. Our staff en-
braces hundreds Of volunteer re-
porters, who send in Eeighbor-
hood Notes, announcements of
meetings, and other items Of
news; as ] reflect upon this it
seems to me that just about
everybody in the village is a
member Of this unofficial staff
at one time or another, which is
a thought that makes me glaa

me think you may find it inter-

ment" while Int'l Union of Elec.
trical Workers negotiates real in
crease, IUE Administrative Dir
ector James B. Carey has wired all
GE locals.
Carey told the locals that GE in
tends to put the three per cent in
crease into effect retroactive to
July l. This offer, amounting to
not less than four cents an hour,
was offered by GE during nego-
tiations on June 27. According to
GE union relations director, George
T. Pfeif, the increase, as offered
then, had mo strings attached"
In a letter replying to that Of
fer on June %, IUE said, 1--WE are
quite willing to apply Immediately
GE's offer of a three per cent wage
increase in keeping with the corp
-oration's phenomenal profits, the
additional increase to be effective
upon agreement.
"We think that the company's
offer of a general wage increase,
the first since 1948, Is somewhat
overdue in the light of GE's pro-
fit picture of the last few years.
For GE to come up with meager
three per cent wage increase in a
two-year period is somewhat mis-
erly, to say the least. However, We
are willing to apply this offer i'm
mediately and negotiate an addi-
tional wage increase, more in line
with GE's dignity and position
among the members of the billion
dollar club"
"This is simply a down pay
ment," Carey said in his telegram.
consequently this in no way pre-
cludes our negotiating a substan-'
tial increase in line with what the
wage standards of GE workers
should be and with what GE can
afford to pay"

Increase Urged In
Labor Reporting
By State Dept.

Washington (LPA) -"I would
like to see the work of labor re-
porting expanded, declares Stan
ley H. Ruttenberg in an article in
the American Foreign Service
Journal, devoted to the interests
Of State Dept. employees. Rutten-
berg, CIO director of education
and research, was writing on "For-
eign Service Promotion System
as a public member of one of the
selection boards.
Speaking from his experience
with trade unions abroad, Rutten-
berg said "it is going to take a
more thorough understanding and
appreciation of working people
throughout the world in order for
us to develop peace and security.
He said that developing sound for
eign policies is not possible with
out full insight into the concept
and thinking of the masses of peo-
pie represented by trade union or
ganizations" He added that "a
sympathetic appreciation of labor's
aspirations and knowledge of the
role that labor plays in shaping
the policies of governments, is
necessary to a thorough under
standing of the present-day trends
and developments in both the poll
tical and economic sphere"
He expressed the hope that the
State Dept, in collaboration with
the Labor Dept, would expand it's
program to train labor reporters,
just as the Agriculture and Com
merce Depts. train their special
lists.

Frank Fernback, CIO Legislative
representative, submitted strong
statement urging approval of the
new department. He said the Tru-
man proposal might not be perfect
but that faction is more import
ant than perfection" at this juno
ture. Labor, commerce and agri-
culture are all represented in the
cabinet" Fernbach said, "But we
regret that, be we labor, business
or agriculture, we have no real
representatives of our combined
needs of health, education and Sc
curity to whom we can turn in the
cabinet"
Fernbach maintained that secur-
ity, education and health demand
ed the prestige of a cabinet post
so that the spokesman could par
ticipate in top policy discussions.
This was an argument advanced by
other advocates of the Presidents
plan. Nelson Cruikshank, spokes-
man for the AFL in social security
and related fields, was expected to
argue in the same vein when he
appeared the following day.
Meanwhile, proponents of the
new department feared that Taft
had worked out deal with Senate
Dixiecrats whereby the Presidents
plan would be defeated. If so, here
was how it would be worked. Sen.
McClellen ID, Ark, chairman of
the Executive Expenditures Com
mittee, would bring up the resolu-
tion of disapproval as soon as the
Senate voted on a cloture motion
ON FEPC July IL. All the Dixie
Gratis would be present to vote the
department down.
