Shortly after the pre.sident had

ties toward the needy.
“I am tired of hearing alibis from

“I am thoroughly fed up. on states

During the entire period of the
strike, jthe Joanna plant operated at
full capacity, day and night shifts,
without any further interference from
the outside, and with all of the em
ployees .of the company reporting for
duty. ■
Captain Boykin and his men spoke
in the highest terms-of the hospitality
and many kindnesses shown them by
the management and the people of the
entire village. “They are a fine bunch
of^eoplev” tlje Captain said as he left,
“and we shall always have the kindest
feeling and deepest interest in their
welfare.”
W. A. Moorhead, local manager,
likewise spoke, highly of the group of

He notified fourteen states, one of
which Iwas South Carolina, today that
they would have to contribute more
to relief funds than they^id last year.
On the subject of clearing the relief
rolls of those not actually in need,
Hopkins said at a luncheon meeting of
the social workers:
“It is our fault if anybody is on
the relief rolls who doesn’t need re
lief. We have n<? right to take the
taxpayer’s money and give it to peo
ple who do not need it. It Is our busi
ness to clear the relief rolls of those
who shouldn’t be there.”
