CONSULT TICKET AGENTS ' SOUTHRN RAILWAY SYSTEM The following letter from a mill worker to the editor of The Green ville News is interesting in that it gives the viewpoint of o«r.e who is vitally interested in unions and strikes and their effect upon himself and fel low workers.: Editor The News: The anouncemeirt wa|* made m your paper recently that over 16,000 mill people had organized ini the Tex tile Workers Union. Now to begin, I am no mill owner nor do I owni any mill stock, but to be plain, I am a Speeder, work for my living as thous* and s do, but that statement telling of the progress made in securing mem bers to the Textile Union interested me quite a bit. Now Mr. Mill Worker, will you lis ten to reason' by one who has watchec these so-called emancipators and have noted what they have done here in the South toward bettering our conditions and raising wages. Don’t think for a minute that they are really interested in us or our conditions, for they are not. ’ Or at least they have not been in the past. I will be brief and state only facts as they are can’t be denied. We will take Columbus, Ga. Some years ago what they do there? Here is what happened. They kept lying and scheming till they had a total membership of 8,600 member ship at $1.50 per and 25c a week dues. Now figures won’t lie. Multiply 8,- 600 by $1.50 and see what it makes. Then add 25c a week for a year or $13.50 for each of the 8,600 members. Then see what you have. Well, they pulled a strike there; every mill was closed down tight and for ten weeks there was riot, bloodshed and shame heaped or the otherwise good people, and did they win? Here is what hap pened. The leaders, I mean Dean, Collan, old lady Kelleher and a few others called a meeting on Sunday at Skeeter Flat theatre and told those poor betrayed people go to their job* if they could and if not to seek other work. The whole bunch left town at once and it was good they did for the ire of those people was stirred up when they saw they had been fleeced by those so-called angels of mercy. So even till yet the folks remember and talk about it. Columbus has never gotten over it. nor will it toon. My sole interest in this is, as I said, that of a mill worker and anything pertaining to one mill worker surely interests another. Now these are facta and can be proven. Take the last and big strike they pulled irv New Bedford, Mass., last year. Did they win or not? They had nearly a hun dred mills shut down and quit cqld and told those poor devils as they did in Columbus, Ga., to go back to work or to go to h . That is their policy. So now in New Bedford if they would name unior they would be lynched al most. South Carolina mill worker, don’t be a goat and feed these radicals and buy their wine and then get the horse laugh. I think that if the real truth were known there folks really don’t want to do a thing but wreck the indHsiry here so their fellow man, the negro, Bohunk, Dago, Portugese, Bull Dog, etc., who are the majority in New England mill-workers, can have a job ag the industry there is “shot.” There are only about one-third of the mills running up there and if these radicals can wreck and demoralize the South ern mills those in New England can start up orce more and work those poor devils thirteen hours a day or night as they do in New Bedford, Mass. That where they say the short hours and long wages are, but I will bet McMahon a dime to a ginger cake that his union or any other can never fool even those ignorant Bo- hunks up there. So South Carolina Mill workers, look before you leap and as you know, it is better to be safe than sorry. A. L. CROWDER. Goldville.

Advertise in The People-Sentinel Dairyman Makes Profits » / by Cutting Delivery Costs Puritan Dairy Changes Brand of Motor Oil and Makes Big Savings In Truck Operation Test run shows 42.2% In crease in Gasoline Mileage Whenever owners of motor cars get together and start claiming mileage records, the only way to prove or disprove any statement is to make a supervised test. Such tests are diffi cult to arrange and supervise. Few motorists have the time to spare. But the Puritan Dairy of Red Bank, New Jersey, wished to use the best oil on the market for their delivery trucks. No use to waste hard-earned profits on poorly lubri cated equipment. No reason for keeping trucks needed to make their appointed rounds in the repair shop because or worn-out bear ings. So a practical test, to be made while one of the trucks performed its regular 'work, was arranged by company officials. Details of Test The crank case of a sturdy G. M. C. truck was drained, flushed and refilled with “Z” brand of oil—nine quarts all told. The gaso line tank was filled with “Standard” Gasoline. In eight days of running, over a regular route,, 572 miles were covered, eleven quarts of “Zy oil were used (nine had been added after tl first-day of driving) and 80 gallons of “Stai ard” Gasoline were consumed. Drained, flushed and refilled with “Standard” Motor Oil and “Standard” Gasoline/the truck started on its rounds again. The same ^route was followed. Another eigh/ days passed. Somehow 680 miles were clocked on the speedometer this time. But only 67 gal lons of “Standard” Gasoline had been used as against 80 gallons in the previous period. An increase in gasoline mileage of 42.2 percent. N</ motor oil was added after the first day. it 8 quarts of “Standard” Motor Oil re- lained in the crank case. ested in a laboratory, brand “Z” showed extreme dilution. “Standard” Motbr Oil, however, was comparatively fresh—still a “good lubricant.” . \ Car 4< Handled M Easier t< And the car, said Lee McGuire, the driver, “was easier to start and worked better all along with ‘Standard' Motor Oil.” m Everywhere, this oilier ^‘/—“Standard”— pleasing millions of motorists as well as truck operators who appreciate how a richer- bodied, smoother oil can protect motors as well as “add mileage to gasoline.” For sale everywhere you see the ^Standard” Motor Oil sign. And it s uniformly good.
