free workers in all lines of indus
tries, business, farming and gov
ernment. Once they ‘‘get the ball
rolling” they can probably accom
plish this This they accomplished
in England and in five years time
destroyed the economy of that na
tion and impoverished its people.
Haven’t we enough danerous ex
ternal troubles without being
threatened with economic destruc
tion at the hands of a few men
whose power over the rest of us
has reached alarming proportions?
There are ways to contain the
selfish plans of these labor leaders.
The Taft-Hartley law checked
them to some extent, but if it is
not invoked by the President, of
what use is it? If that law were in-
voked > in the present steel strike the
workers would have the right to
vote upon whether or not to con
tinue that destructive stoppage.
Our bet is that the vote would be
overwhelmingly to go back to
work. The men don't want a union
shop, and they do want their
wages to support their families and
the chance to work and help our
men in Korea whose position is
going to be seriously endangered
if the strike continues. We say
again we are at the cross-roads.

Senator Byrd's Victory
- It was good news to the Ameri
can people last week bo learn that
Senator Harry F. Byrd, senior^ sen- 1
..tor of the state of Virginia, had |
cetn re-elected by a majority of;
more than 50,000 over his- oppon- 1
ent-
The Virginia race was a hard- 1
fought one with Francis Pickens
Miller making the fight and chal
lenge 10 unseat Senator Byrd. The
incumbent in his campaign made
slashing, attacks on President Tru
man and Fair Deal socialism of
the past six years. The people en
dorsed “his never-ceasing stand.
Certainly it was no machine vic
tory, but rather a personal victory
for a man the people of his state!
believe in and trust his honesty,
ability and integrity.
President Truman some time
ago in attacking Senator Byrd said
one of the great troubles with the
senate was too many “Harry
Byrds." Millions of •American vot
ers leel that the great trouble is
“not enough Byrds.” They admire
him fur his fearlessness, his cam
paign for government economy, his
courage to vote his convictions and
the determined fight he has made,
though in the minority—to end so
cialistic spending and wasting, to
analyze budgets, to stand as a
watchdog on operations, and of
keeping everlastingly at it. We
rejoice in the re-election of Sena
tor Byrd. If we had the power to
name the new president of the
United States it would be the able
and distinguished Virginian.
Foe of Alcoholism
It is estimated there are 7,000 al
coholics in South Carolina and 5,-
850,000 in the United States.
Should alcoholism continue to in
crease as it has during the past
ten years, the terrible drain on our
human resources can wreck our
national economy.
Alcoholics Anonymous was es
tablished to “ help men and wom
en who have allowed themselves
to become victims of drink. It is
an organization that is doing a
wonderful work and has saved
thousands of men and women who
were traveling the wrong road and
had become hopeless victims of this
affliction.
Spokesmen for the organization
say that "no matter what our prob
lem is, a'lcohol won’t‘help it.” In
their national, state and local meet
ings they humbly recognize the
problems of those for whom one
drink was too many, and a thous
and not enough for others.
Alcoholics Anonymous was first
organized in Cleveland in 1933, and
has spread with thousands of
chapters in all parts of the nation.
We salute the group and every in
dividual who becomes a member
should be encouraged and helped
by non-drinkers. It has and is
saving thousands of men and wom
en from dr 2k. Many who were a
dead loss have found themselves
through a determination and hon
est desire to stop drinking. To
those who have no desire to quit,
the organization, of course, car. be
of no value. Its members stand

been written in American history,
