BIG THREAT TO FREEDOM
COMES FROM LABOR BOSSES

We may be wrong but we have
come to the firm belief that there
will never be another worldwide
war. Maybe a few border skirm-
ishes here and there, but never
again big war.
1t would mean complete annihila-
ton for the participants, and we
don't think the world is that crazy.
What we fear more than war
with Russia is the gnawing from
within our nation by the labor
unions.
Labor unions have taken over a
mans right to work in all but 10
of our 40 states.
The United States is only S71s
percent free. And so long as pro-
lection against compulsory union
ism is guaranteed by only 10 of
our 48 states, so long will this
situation obtain.
Unlike their counterparts in the
30 other states, working men and
women in the Is states that have
right-to-work laws cannot be fore
ed to join unions in order to get
or hold their jobs.
That these right-to-work statutes
are designed to safeguard the
rights of the indiidual and not to
"bust" organized labor is proved
by the fact that they protect the
privilege of an employee to join as
well as not to join union. Simply
stated, they restore a freedom
snatched from the worker by the
union shop.

THIS WEATHER NOT
ANYTHING: LOOK AT
SIXTY YEARS AGO
Winding Up A Moderate Winter
Compared With What Our
Folks Put Up With

We are winding Up a spell of
weather that most folks say is the
worst winter in many years. There
have been hardships, and, it's been
costly keeping warm. Sixty years
ago, a mans fuel warmed him
twice; once when he cut it, and
next when he burned it. Now he
pays for oil piped in, and after it
has burned, he sweats again trying
to pay for it.
We wish to take our readers
back some 60 years when our folks
knew what winter was. We have
got some reliable old records from
Hatteras, which came from a diary
kept by the late John w. Rollin-
son, merchant and leading citizen,
a grandfather of Mrs. Harry
Kramer of Elizabeth City. In those
days, many people could look
through the floors Of their houses
They depended on sail and good
winds to go to other places. They
had to look ahead for a whole win
ter and have enough provisions OF
the kind available in that day, ia
last them for months and through
emergencies.
There are countless other inter.
esting things about life in those
days, that are difficult for the
children of today to understand
and would make many stories ir
themselves, so let us get on with
our story:
From the diary of the late Johr
w. Robinson of Hatteras, who KEEP
a personal journal of things at thai
place during a period of more thar
half century, we learn the fol

still frozen to the reef-and wors
of all, there was no fowl to speal

had not got their nets down OF
account of bad weather. This wa
described as the coolest winte

situation in its true perspective,
you would have to look no further
than the huge wealth being accu-
mulated by the labor union bosses.
The total annual collections from
members Of unions in the United
States and Canada, according to an
estimate by the MIC, is approx
mately $500 million per year.
This in an increase Of about $162
million over 1866. The huge in
crease is accounted for by a boost
in dues plus the addition OF one
million members.
