The Strike Is On
The American people are without
•telephone service because of the m|-
t:on.-wide strike called Monday by
imiQn organizations demanding high
er wages! The whole public welfare
is endangered, but this means noth-
i ig 1 to union leaders who give or
ders to their members as to when
they can work, and when they must
v/alk the streets.
The Ohronicle is published under
difficulty today because of the lack
of telephone service which is quite
essentia! in a weekly newspaper of=“f-house into a
fee. Likewise, residents of the com
munity and business houses are suf-
pened when the senator made the
fight? It is interesting to note. Sena
tor Edgar Brown, of Barnwell, took
issu^with Kenney and came to the
1 rescue of the Authority and its gen
era} manager, Senator R. M. Jeffer
ies, who was under attack. And the
senate voted down Kennedy’s re
quest. The state, Brown said, is not
responsibje for the Authority’s fi
nances. ‘
Kennedy spoke again of the $87,000
bill of Jefferies and McLeod for legal
services, declaring that the firm had
been paid $50,000, with an unpaid
balance of $37,000 still carried from
year to year. The Kershaw senator
further stated that the Authority di
rectors renovated an old plantation
beautiful club for di
rectors,” and also owned an expen
sive boat. It is because of such charg-
If I should become ill, I could go
to the hospital as a charity patient.
And what’s wrong falling back on
unemployment compensation,- com
monly called —“the rocking chair
money.” If that fails to work, I will
demand my rights as a social secur
ity receiver. •
, I see so many folks loafing these
days, and mind you—they are fatter
and sassier than I am, and they aint
working. They don’t have a thing
in the world to do except set and
set and wait for next month's check.
