ANTI-STRIKE LAW RESTS ON
LABOR GROUP—BRYSON
LINDBERGH URGES AMERICANS
TO WRITE CONGRESSMEN
Washington, March 21.—The sue
cess or failure of President Roose'
velt’s new national defense mediation
board will set the course for Congres
sional action on anti-strike legislation
rep. Joseph R. Bryson asserted today.
Bryson, a member of the House Ju
diciary committee, which has been
conducting hearings on proposed anti
strike laws predicted that no action
would be forthcoming from Congress
if the new board is successful.
He warned, however, that if the
board “proves ineffective in promptly
settling current or future labor dis
putes, need for the enactment of suoh
legislation will become immediate and
imperative.
The Fourth District congressman
nevertheless expressed the “hope and
belief” that the new mediation board
wiM “obviate the need for enactment
of additional legislation.
“I have already made up my mind
and I wish to emphasize that the Am
erican people are not going to stand
for either strikes 'on the part of la
bor or profit haggling on the part of
capital which cripple our defense in
dustries,” Bryson asserted. “We ex
pect both employer and employee to
cooperate. Where one attempts to
take advantage of the other at the ex
pense of national defense the govern
ment must step in and protect the na
tion’s interest.
“One thing that labor leaders and
business executives alike should real
ize is that if we fail in our defense
effort there may no longer be any
such things as the rights of capital
and labor,” he continued. “The way
to preserve labor’s right to strike and
sue for collective bargaining is to pre
serve the government which guaran
tees that right. Today we are all
called upon to make certain sacrifices
to the end that this government of
our might be free and independent.
Strikes must not be permitted to
• threaten our national security.
“The ‘business-as-usual’ attitude of
industry as well as flagrant instances
of prifiteering on the part of manure-
men t doubtless did much to create an
atmosphere, for labor strikes.
In South Carolina and in the Fourth
District, Bryson said, “labor is doing
its full share.”
“The laboring men and women of
my district are as much opposed to
strikes at this time as the most con
servative mill executive,” he said.
They are “too eager for the safety
and security of America to engage in
strikes of any kind.”
Bryson pointed out that a total of
Uiyo\JlL pr/nri/cvt v>u.o unci c a, wucm e>--
625,000 man-days of work were lost being led to war by a group of inter
New York. March 21.—Col. Chas.
A. Lindbergh today asked Amercians
who oppose United States intervention
in the European war to organize and
attend mass meetings throughout the
nation and to make knewn their po
sition in repeated letters to their leg
islators and local newspapers.
Writing “in Collier’s Magazine,
Lindfbergh concluded that “for us to
enter the conflict in Europe at this
time would result in defeat and hu
miliation,” and asserted that by re
maining out of the war the United
States “can build a military and com
mercial position on this continent that
is impregnable to attack and which
will force other nations to trade with
us, if through expediency alone.
Fears It May Be Too Late
“The policy of our nation is still
influenced by the desires of its peo
ple,” he said. “You can help us by
organizing mass meetings against our
entry into the war. You can help
by attending such mass meetings.
You can help by writing to your con-
gresmen, to your senator, and to your
local newspapers, telling them of your
views. . . . But if you stand with us
against war, you must act now or it
will be forever too late.”
After revealing that in 1938 he
told highly placed British officials of
Germany’s air power and warned
them of the need for developing Bri
tish aviation, Lindbergh asserted that
both France and England had waited
“until it was too late.'
“We in America have waited until
it is too late,” he continued, “and yet
we step closer and closer to the war
as though hypnotized by its bombing
and by its fury.
Holds U. S. Unprepared
“Like France and England in 1939,
we are unprepared today. We have
not as many thoroughly modern
fighting planes in our army and navy
combined as Germany produces in a
single week; and our army is deplor
ably lacking in such essential items
as tanks and anti-tank cannon.
“We have not made the sacrifice
necessary for adequate rearmament.
We, too, have cultivated the phil
osophy that it is essential to defend
someone else fh order to defend our
selves.
“Our politicians and idealists har-
rangue us about defending freedom
and democracy, and our way of life.”
Asserting that political shouts of
“we must stop Hitler” and “Down
with the Nazi regime” were being
echoed by some newspapers, Lind
bergh declared, “We in America are
because of strikes affecting 65,000
workers during January.
“In the face of facts like these,’
he said, “it is apparent that some
thing must be done.” t

ventionists and foreign interests,
against the will of a majority of our
people.”
Did Not Advocate Openly
Lindbergh asserted that interven
tionists had proceeded slowely be
cause they knew that “it was use
less for them to advocate openly a
declaration of war.”
The policy of interventionists, he
said, was “to support every move
ment that would lead us in the dir
ection of war and to oppose every
movement that would not—always
under their mask of ‘aid short of
war’.”
The colonel termed passage of the
lease-lend bill and revision of the
neutrality act examples of “interven
tionist steps” and asserted that “the
advocates of intervention are begin
ning to forget the qualifying pnrase
‘short of war.’ The more daring
among them are openly discussing an
American expeditionary force for
Europe.”
Lindbergh asserted that in “Brit
ish propaganda” in the United
States “lies the danger of our in
volvement. There is certainly no
danger of our fighting on Ger-
manys’ side, and her propaganda in
America has been relatively ineffec
tive.”
(Criticized for Report
He said that it was Britian’s pur
pose to minimize German success and
to “exaggerate all British successes”
and recalled that “those of us who
saw the growth of the German air
force were severely assailed be
cause of the reports we made describ
ing it, although these reports tow
turn out to have been almost unfav-
givably conservative.”
He oouselled readers to go back
over their newspaper files and to re
read the reports of the campaigns in
Finland, Norway, France, and the
Low Countries, and to consider them
in the light of subsequent reports
and developments.
Discussing the possibility of an
attack upon the United States by
a foreign power, Lindbergh asserted'
that one by air was “out of the
question.” Contending that any at
tack upon this country would have to
be from the sea, he concluded that
“Of all the nations in the world, we
hold the most impregnable position of
defense.”
Turning to the national defense
program, Lindbergh said that “it
is often asked today why our rearma
ment program moves so slowly, why
our people are so divided and confus
ed. Why indeed! The answer is
clear.
“It is because we have neglected
the wisdom and experience of our
forefathers — we have not followed
Washington’s advice. We have let
the destiny of America become con
fused and entangled with that of
foreign lands. . . .”

BIRTH CERTIFICATE CHANGE
PROPOSED
Bill Would Relax Provisions of the
Present Law
Columbia, March 17.—Persons
bom prior to 1915 in South Carolina
would have less trouble obtaining
birth certificates under a bill up for
consideration by the house judiciary
committee.
The state health department be
gan keeping vital statistics in 1915,
but individuals bom before that year
have found it difficult to prove the
date and place of their birth, parti
cularly if their family doctor and
elderly acquaintences had died.
The law enacted April 13, 1939, sti
pulated that county clerks of court
should record this information, re-
leiving the state department of the
work. However, the statute required
that where the attending physician
was not available to certify to the
birth, only ‘reputable” and “disint
erested unrelated” persons older than
the individual seeking a certiflcate
could sign the document.
LABOR CALLS FOR BREAK
Mexico City, March 8.—The Mexi
can Confederation of Labor, in a
strongly worded pro-United States
manifesto, called on all Mexican
organizations today to break what
ever relations they might have with
European institutions in order to re
inforce the bonds of friendship on
the American continent.
Its seven-page declaration was
signed by Fidel Velazquez and six
other national commiteemen. It de
nounced the axis powers and warned
against “false patriots” working as
fifth columnists.
The manifesto aligned the confed
eration with the United States in con.
trast to its previously consistent “an-
imperialist” attitude and the fre
quent accustations of critics that it
had both Communists and Nazi sym
pathizers.

What Would
Newberry be
Without Churches?
K.,
Why Not Go To Church?
THE FOLLOWING APPEARED IN THE PHILADELPHIA PAPERS SOME YEARS AGO:
WHY NOT GO TO CHURCH?
If everybody reasoned this matter of church-going to its logical conclusion, there will not be many
vacant pews, and a widespread demand for more churches would speedily arise.
The reason is simple: People do not stay away trom church because they are opposed to religion or
the Church. Far from it. Nearly everyone believes that the Christian Church is absolutely necessary
to our civilization. It its existence were threatened, the great mass of people would fight for it.
But by some curious kink in their mental processes many non-Church-goers fail to perceive that if
everybody followed their example—and every honest person grants others the right to do as he does-the
churches would quickly pass out of existence.
' i
EVERY NON-ATTENDANT UPON RELIGIOUS SERVICES VIRTUALLY VOTES FOR THE
ELIMINATION OF THE INSTITUTION FROM SOCIETY.
•
If a person believes that the world needs the Church, he has but one clear, unmistakable and unan
swerable way of stating his posiron. That is by regular church attendance. The man who goes to church
stands for an indispensable institution, even as a good citizen stands for the state by voting.
