SLACKERS Are the people of the to quit work. Two weeks ago a half
United States becoming a nat'pn of million workers in steel plants quit
slackers? It seems that there is work, not because they were not
danger of it. Strikes are the order getting good wages, but in further
of the day. Everybody seems to want ance of a purpose to socialize the

Here you will always find the worth while folks. The
Apothecary Shop is a favorite, meeting place for both in
town and out of town people, young and near young, be
cause it is handy, roomy, courteous une.finsarktsc mwom

And you will find here the best df everything to be ob

steel plants for the sole advantage of
labor. Fortunately this was a half-
aarted strike and was not endorsed
jy the second sober thought of the
patriotic element among the steel
workers. Had it succeeded it would
ia'.e stopped the production of steel
and iron, have greatly crippled our'
industries and foreign trade, and
et our people to scramble for what
Jew steel products they could get at
N:oib!tant prices. Now comes the
?oal strike wjien another half-million
men walk out, men who were gett'ng
-jqod wages, but who in some in
stances had grievances that call for
oircction. Once more we see the
same readiness to stop production,
aripple our industries and leave our
eople without a necessity. Slackers
ILese. But they are not the only
siackers. Somebody has failed to'
raise sugar cane or sugar beets. Per
haps the growers compiain of the
price of their product. But the man
or child who wants sugar cannot get
it. Many common laborers are idle
for the pure love of idleness and go
hungry because our North Carolina
farmers cannot pay the high prices

What is the matter? Perhaps all
these strikers had claims that are
just, but now is no time, to try to
force adjustment by striking. These
numerous strikes lessen production,
make all the necessities of life dearer
rob workmen willing to work of
necessary raw materials and kuse
ilntold misery and suffering. Slackers
should get no encouragement. What
