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.
