Friday, June 18, 1943 INTESTINAL FORTITUDE This editor has been scanning the daily news dispatches for several weeks to see what national figures woplcr'-denounce the undemocratic policies of John L. Lewis. The political heads otfl South Carolina have been observed 011 this score with special interest. The only public utterance has come from none other than o>ur Governor, Olin D. Johnston. We here at the Chronicle are proud of our Governor. His whole political philosophy has been based on nelping^the laboring people of our state? 'because he came from the laboring people. But he is opposed to seeing organized labor dominated and run by thugs and crooks and gangsters. In several public speeches Ihe has had the intestinal fortitude to say so. The first question that came to our mind when we saw the Governor's sentiments on Lewis was: What has become of Maybank and Smith? Why haven't they had something to say on this subject? Is it because they are afraid of tiheir political positions? Apparently Johnston is unafraid. He knows full well that labor understands his position. He knows that labor knows his efforts will be given in the behalf of the people he represents and that no ulterior motive can be found for his act of telling the world what Ihe thought about John L. Lewis. Going on his past record as a friend of the working man Olin Johnston is the only politician in South Carolina that can make such a statement with clean hands and without fear. It is rumored in political circles that our Governor will run for the United States Senate in the middle of his term? the summer of 1944. He will likely contend for the seat of the (famous "Cotton Ed" Smith. From a superficial survey of the major portion of South Carolina indications are that Johnston will have little trouble unseating Smith. CLOSED SHOP CHALLENGED In support of constitutional states' ^rights, Attorney General Watson of the State of Florida, lhas filed suit against two corporations operating under closed 'shop agreements, to test the legality of the closed shop contract in a nation founded upon principles o<f justice and equality. In commenting on the suits, Mr. Watson says: "In both cases we have proven that to employ a worker the employer must first send him to the business agent of the union. This business agent classifies the employe to the union which he is required to join. An initiation fee is fixed by the union?these fees in the two cases in question ranging all the way from $10 to $125 per initiation. It was proven also that the business agent could and did in cases arbitrarily refuse to certify the name of the proposed employe either to the union or to the employer; that also, even after certification to the union under ^application for membership, the union's membership committee arbitrarily refused to admit him, in which case he became immediately disqualified, and if he had .gone to work upon a temporary permit from the business agent, his employment was immediately terminated because of the union's refusal to accept him as a member. We also proved instances where men seeking employment, accepted membership by the union, after paying their initiation fee, were shortly thereafter terminated from such employment without cause and solely upon the unk>n's dictum. We also proved that persons were terminated by the union's dictum in their employment (for failure to pay union dues, and in several instances where controversion have arisen among union members in the same employment, the union would take the side of one against the otlher and terminate the Membership ... of the one* acted against, and thereby bring about his immediate discharge from his closed shop employment." These labor excesses have been practiced with the approval and encouragement of tihe Federal government. That is one of the reasons why the coal mines .have been socialized temporariy, why legitimate unionism may suffer lasting injury, and why, when our men come back from war, they may find that before they can get a job they must pay tribute to a labor dictatorship jaiet as deadly to freedom as the European military dictatorships. It is not too late to restore constitutional government. Courageous men like tihe Attorney Genralioifl Florida are leading the way and deserve public encouragement and support. REDUCING PRODUCTION In stressing the need for a govern- t ment policy that "will result in maximum food production," John D. Miller, president emeritus of the National Council of Farm Cooperatives, says "price ceiling experiments tracing back to the Roman Empire have a record of uninterrupted failure as a method of preventing inflation or keeping down the cost of living. "An effective ceiling on any commodity will in time restrict production. A planned economy spells t/he doom of our system of free enterprise. Rising commodity prices are not the cause, but the result of inflation. "Inflation should be attacked on two fronts: First, by adopting policies that will result in the greatest possible food production, thus increasing supplies; and, second, by siphoning off buying power through taxation, thus reducing demand." Mr. Miller described subsidies as higher Ifood prices with the money being paid by the citizens to the government as taxes, and then distributed to the farmers by government. "Farmers resent being paced in a position where.they cannot support themselves, but must accept government handouts. Food prices can be so regulated tihat farmers will receive a living price, and with consumers paying as low a price as is consistent with production cost, transportation, processing and marketing. This was done during World War 1 and food production rose to the maximum. But now we have price ceilings which have always resulted in decreased food production." EXPLOITERS NOT WANTED The mirving industry of the United States is so gigantic that it dwarfs imagination. Production of a ton of steel requires two tons of coal. In 1942, it required the coking of 75,000,000 tops of coal to smelt 60,000,000 tons of pig iron. An output of 70,000,000 tons of pig iron and 97,000,000 tons of steel ingots is expected in 1943. It takes 7 tons of copper for one minute of combat by 50 fighter planes, and this means from 2d0 to 700 tons of copper ore. Other metals are <used in proportion. But coal is required to produce the iheat to make most of them usable. It is the major source of energy in the United States. The railroads used 110,000,000 ' tons of coal in 1942; public utilities, 68,- *-\ 000,000 tons; and 135,000,000 tons went for necessary heating comfort. There is no excuse for continuous labor warfare in our coal mines. Neither the public nor the majority of employers want to exploit the coal miners. The vice that has caused wars for centuries, namely, the greed of a few leaders for unreasonable power, is causing trouble in our coal mines. The few wiho would exploit a government, a mine or a group of workers for selfish purposes, are the ones whb cause the millions of ordinary citizens, including the miners themselves, unnecessary loss, grief and suffering. It is time that dictatorship in either labor, industry, or government be ended.
