The Public’s Horse Out on the westt.rn American prairie in the frontier days ranch- 4ers used to lock their barnyard gates with a slide bar when they had a wild horse in the corral. Sometimes a careless ranch hand -would fail to slide the bar into place and a prised horse would get away. It was too late then to lock the barnyard gate. The horse was gone! The settlement of the uteel strike reminds one of this old frontier circumstance. The vast majority of the American people had a prise at stake in the steel wage controveray. But they failed to exert their overwhelming in fluence and power—and now “the horse is gone,” What the 170 million American people had at atake was their eco nomic welfare, and possibly their freedom and survival. The living standards of Americana have been rising steadily, and sometimes uwiftly, since 1850 at the begin ning of this new nation’s unpar- allel industrial growth brought on by freedom of enterprise, A key factor in the rise has been the «onstant improvement of produc tion per man hour—the making of more goods with less human •ffort, resulting in lower prices to the consumer, higher wages for the worker, and attractive inter oat for the people who saved some of their earnings and invested it in production facilities. Monopoly Power In recent years some labor or ganisations have gained such vast monopoly power they can control the economics of industry by atrikes which paralyse vital pro duction facilities and which take away from the consumer and the Investor the benefits which would normally come to them when pro ductivity is raised.» Some such atrikes in basic industries have forced prices to climb and have been a factor in setting off contin uing inflation. In the last 20 years, this inflation has reduced the dollar’s purchas ing power to 47c and the income of millions of Amet leans has not increased enough to offset this loss in dollar purchasing power. When ths steel strike began months ago, President Eisenhower speaking ns the elected represen tative for all the people of Am- •rica, requested that it be settled without bringing on a wave of new inflation. Need For Law We have anti-monopoly laws to protect against gourging of the consumers by a single industry or combination of Industries, corner Ing the* market and fixing prices. We have laws prohibiting news papers from exercsing the same kind of monopoly tactics against their advertisers. But we do not have adequate, law protecting the public against monopolistic prac tices by labor unions, and the dan gers of this situation to all Am ericana, including industrial hour ly wags earners, are being more jmd more recognised by competent observers. Life Magaslne, which has the biggest circulation of any news publication in America, and whch has shown no bias one way or the other as regards the steel strike, said in an editorial following the settlement: “The question remains -whether the best generalship in tha world (by industry leaders) could have defeated the union in this or any other eteel strike, un der present laws. The union en joys a legal monopoly of ‘bargain ing power* for wages; and its strike weapon is more powerful than anything in management’s arsenal. When labor wants a raise, the chief practical check on Its demands is the moderation of ita leaders. Thoughtful Reactions “This is not the same thing as the public interest If the public Interest lies in little or no wage increase, as was the case in this stHka, it can win its point by curbing the monopolistic power of the unions.** David Lawrence, ^columnist for the New York Her ald-Tribune and Editor of U. S. News A Wor>d Report, said in his column: “Organised greed won out over eelf-restraint in the so-call ed *settlement’ of the steel dis pute. Monopoly was the victor as a selfish minority rode roughshod over the interests of the major ity.** There is no doubt that the steel industries were trying^ to avert giving raises not justified ‘by pro ductivity gains. In the face of con- sderable misunderstanding and propaganda they were sticking their necks out to protest the pub lic. In the settlement which in dustry finally was obligated to accept, the labor leaders promised that the steel workers wodld put forth sufficient effort to push up productivity per man hour to come. If they violate this pledge then the public’s horse is not only gone—it is lost, and the cost will be dear to everyone. Surviving are his wife, Mrs. Esther Cosene Chapman; two sons, William Jacob Chapman of Hartsville ami Lawrence D. Chap man of Spartanburg; one daugh ter, Mrs. C. Ray Jackson of Co lumbia; two sisters, Misses Vila and Lillian Chapman, both of Prosperity; and one grand-daugh ter. * Funeral services were conduct ed at II a. m.

FHA Makes Loans Of Over $100,000 To County Farms Approximately 13 farm families, representing a proportion, of those using Farmers Home Administra tion credit in Newberry County have completed a series of individ ual meetings with William H. Car ter, the agency’s county supervi sor, to take a careful look at their 1959 operations and to make 1960 plans. This yetr-old analysis is a serv ice given by the agency which makes loans to eligible farmers to operate, improve, or enlarge family-type farms. As a result of this study of their farm operations, Mr. Carter said, some of the better practices that farmers here are working in to their 1960 plans include (1) keeping records on each cow in the Weigh-A-Day-A-Month or Dairy Herd Improvement Associa tion plan, (2) feeding grain based on recorded milk production, (3) culling herds, (4) increasing use of lime os need was revealed by last summer’s soil testing pro gram, (5) increasing use of ferti- izers on all crops and pasture, (6) intensive cotton insect control plan (7) better gardens and can ning and storing, and (8) using adequate equipment. Farm families on Newberry County now using FHA credit in clude 23 with operating loans, 6 with farm ownership loans, 9 with loans to build or repair houses or other farm buildings, and 7 who have soil and water conservation loans. Loans totaling $105,535 have been made to farmers in this area in the past year.- Of thi$ amount, approximately $60,000.0<} has been for acquiring equipment, live stock, seed, feed, fertluxer, and paying other operating costs, and paying for labor and materials in connection with housing and other improvements. This money, and the extra money from increased incomes, circulates through local trade channels. Good farm planning and record keeping ai'e carried on through the year and play an important part in operations financed with FHA credit. As proof that good practices pay off, Mr. Carter pointed out that during the past year five borrowers repaid their loans in full and are now obtain ing their necessary credit from lo cal banks or other lenders. The local FHA office is located in the Agricultural building Martin St. Judge Chapman Dies Suddenly • At Home Monday Byron Vivian Chapman, 82, Newberry attorney, died suddenly Monday afternoon at his home on Main St. after a brief illness. He was born near Little Moun tain in the Dutch Fork section and attended the log cabin school of his community. He was a son of the lat.e Jacob Lemuel and Ale- mina Dreher Chapman. He was a graduate of Newberry College and graduated from law school at the University of South Caro lina where he played tackle on the 1909 football team. He also attended the University of North Carolina Law School and began the practice of law in Newberry in 1911. He had represented Newberry County in the House of Represen tatives and the Senate for several years and served as solicitor of the 8th judicial circuit during World War II. He had been New berry County Attorney since 1938, recorder for the city for a long period of years, and was attorney for the county board of education. He was chairman of the Demo cratic party for Newberry County for many years and was reelected to that position at the county con vention Monday a few hours be fore his death.

Kendall Makes 'Real Progress' In Past Year BOSTON.—The Kendall Com pany made “real progress’* in 1959, President Richard R. Hig gins said in the annual report to stockholders. Total sales for 1959 of $110,733,000 set a company record and earnings were up 35% to $5,164,000 or $4.93 per share compared with $3.60 earned in 1968. The Kendall Company manu factures surgical dressings, tex tiles, polyethylene adhesive tapes and nonwoven fabrics. Sales activity remained high throughout the year, the report said. Because textile sales account for about one-third of Kendall’s total volume, the company bene- fitted from the resurgence of strength in the textile industry during 1969. Higher textile prices were combined with the greatest textile sales volume in recent years. The report announced that the Kendall Company will construct a new pressurd-sensitive tape plant in Franklin, Kentucky this year, n.s well as a new combined divis ional headquarters and research facilities for its Textile Division in Charlotte, North Carolina. Kendall stockholders were told that “the present utility of non woven fabrics gives only a hint of their future promise,*’ and that, through the creation of Kendall’s Fiber Products Division on Janu ary 1, 1960, the company is now in a better position .to concentrate on this growing business.
