They Are Fighting
■ j *' \ ’ . > , > _ ' 4-
The people of Anderson dp not propose
to have the peaceful relations wfaich have
existed there between employers and em
ployees, broken ub if they can help it
The "Anderson Citizens Committee” has
been formed for the purpose of fighting
Che unionization of Anderson industries
and this committee, headed by J. Leland
Sadler, prominent Andersoninn, .took a
half page advertisement in the Anderson
Independent to appeal to workers in in
dustries in ttie county not to «ign up with
1 any union.
Some excerpts from the advertisement
; follow:
“Labor unions bring strife. They divide
a community into factions. They drive a
wedge between people who work’together.
Tney create the illusion of class distinc-
> tions. They split families, churches,
schools, fraternal orders and communities.
“They stop industrial expansion. In
dustries are moving from, not to, areas
where there are unions. There are new
mills and new jobs in Anderson county,
Hart county, Abbeville county, Greenwood
county, and the others where there are no
ui.ions. There are no new mills in Spar
tanburg, Cherokee or Richland counties,
where there are unions in a few mills.
. “They do not bring prosperity. The de
pression was worst where unions were
strongest. There were more breadlines
where there were more unions. Today the
. closed mills, the unemployvdttfthe 'ghost
•"- • 11 1 mi« m, 1' ^ * "
. towns are w
‘strongest* unions. Look it t$ew England
textile plants. Look at Huntsville, Ala-
' bama, where a five-story mill building is
how a cotton warehouse. * i .* rtT
“Labor unions bring strikes. Look at
' the record. Where there are onions, there
are strikes with loss of time, loss of earn
ings, loss of loyalty and confidence, loss of
peace and security and often loss of blood
and life.*
“They take money away from us. They
are not in productive work. They don’t
produce a yard of cloth. They take the
dues and fines and assessments and use
them to pay union leaders’ salaries and
expense accounts to maintain elaborate
headquarters’ offices and staffs, to meddle
in national politics. The money wouldn’t
be seen again in Anderson.
“Their leadership is not worthy. Most
of It is socialistic an-American and un
democratic. Much of it is communistic.
* The leaders and organizers are ‘from far
away places with strange sounding names.’
Except for the money they collect from
you in dues, they have no interest in your
welfare. You must strike when they say
strike; stay, out when they say stay out;
pay them what they say to pay them;
work when they say work; or lose your
right to work.”
It is very evident from the above ad
vortisement that the people of .Anderson
county are prepared to go to the bat
against any invasion of their county by
the unions. They have seen the woe that
has come tq other counties through such
invasions and they want to protect their
countv from any such disaster.
’• Anderson is thickly dotted with cotton
mills and they are all running full time.
The people of Anderson county do not
want to see these mills become empty
buildings or storage warehouses as hap
pened to the five-story mill ah Huntsville,
Ala., after a series of strikes.'

Trials of A Newspaper
Two county newspapers that come to
our desk carried articles this week by their
editors telling of some of the trials and
tribulations of county newspaper editors.
.. Editor Alison Lee of the Laurens Ad
vertiser; wants to know what one is'to do
when there are more demands for front
page space, much of it for articles which
are really not spot news, than, the paper
can accomodate and what the editor must
do in the circumstances—give all of the
space to this matter and run the real news
on the inside—or what?
The editor of the Cheraw Chronicle
writes along a somewhat similar line. He
tells of the last minute rush of news on
publication day. “Stories that possibly
could have been turned in earlier, come
flowing in and we’re in a dither. Where
in the heck are we doing to put ’em?
What must got What can we leave until
next week and so on endlessly.”
And so it is with every county news
paper, we presume. There is always a
demand for “front page” space and there
is always a last minute rush of news. That
happens in every newspaper' office, we
guess.
The number of pages a newspaper gets
out is regulated by the volume of adver
tising just as the number of coaches a
train carries is regulated by the number
of passengers, j Sometimes a train gets
overcrowded with passengers too late to
add on extra cars and sometimes a news
paper gets overcrowded with ads and news
when it is too late to add on extra pages.
One of the great problems confronting
a newspaper is trying to please every one
with the assortment of ntfws it carries.
There are some people who would have
a newspaper devoted largely to sports
articles. They care nothing for society
nows or farm news or political news. There
are others who want a paper largely with
social news. They care nothing for sports
news. There are some who want more
farm news and who care nothing for either
sports news or social news. Some are more
interested in political news, court house
news, etc., than any other sort of news.
And so a newspaper has to try to hit
a happy medium and carry a cross-section
^ carry so?

Dillon 18 s Awake
The four civic organizations at Dillon
do not plan to sit idly by and see / this
country travel on down the road to social
ism without trying to do something about
it.
The Rotary, Lions, Kiwanis and JayCee
organizations there have formed a civic
committee and this committee plans to
keep South Carolina congress members in
formed as to their views on legislative
topics. A mimeographed letter listing
lively legislative matters and a column for
the signer ^to check himself for or against
is to be circulated monthly for dispatch
to. Senators Maybank and Johnston and
Representative McMillan.
The announcement of the organization
of the committee says in part: J *
“Many of the thinking citizens of these
pprtslhave come to the conclusion that the
irresponsible leadership provided these
United States by H. S. Truman and Com
pany is attempting to lead this country
down the road to socialistic domination by
ignorant bureaucratic self-styled demigods.
“We are therefore depending upon our
congressmen to refrain from participating
in partisan politics and to stand squarely
for those principles of governmental func
tions which will preserve man’s individual
dignity and his inalienable rights of life,
liberty and the pursuit of happiness.”
' It is good to see these civic organiza
tions speaking out boldly and plainly in
defense of America. One trouble with this
country is that there are too mony orzani-
zations in it that always parade with an
American flag in front and always sing
“America” lustily but are doing nothing in
this fight to save it.
It will be too late to lock the barn door
after the horse is stolen. It will be too
late to do something after we become en
meshed in socialism or have become a
communistic welfare state. That will be
a mistake we won’t make but once.
