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.

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.
