(The third of a scries of articles
written from the scene of action
in Gastonia textile workers' mur
der trial)
By CHARLES P. STEW’ART
Central Preas Staff Writer
GASTONIA. N. C., Aug. 1—Com
munism is the ultra-cautious busi
ness element's idea of the worst
thing under the sun in those parts
of the south where the communists
are taking the lead in the effort to
unionize the textile workers.
m regions where the American
Federation of Labor is taking the
lead, the latter is the organization
which one hears this same clement
most bitterly denouncing.
• + •
On April 4. at the beginning of
the communistic drive in the Loray
mills, just outside this city, the
Gastonia Daily Gazette published,
over the line. ‘This ad paid for by
citizens of Gaston county.” a full
page of display type, concluding as
follows:
"The strike at the Loray is some
thing more than merely a few men
striking for better wages. It was
not inaugurated for that purpose. It
was started simply for the purpose
of overthrowing this government
and destroying property and to kill,
kill, kill.”
In fact, hardly anybody, even
here, is conservative enough to be
lieve that the communists’ basic
purpose is to "kill, kill, kill.” or to
destroy property which they, them
selves. would like to gain control of.
for the proletariat, or that they ex
pect to overthrow the United States
government with a dinky little
union in the Loray textile plant.
• • •
The inference appears that south
ern cotton textile magnates want no
organization of their employes at all.
and rise up in arms against it in
whatever form it may happen to be
attempted in their various spheres
of influence.
Nevertheless, I believe It is widely
agreed in the southern textile region
—probably not by the big bosses,
themselves, but by the rest of the
public—that organization in the
mills is inevitable: that the bosses
are likely to try first to compromise
on ’company unions.” when they see
the writing on the wall, but that
there can be no dodging unioniza
tion ultimately, of one kind or an
other.
This is not a conclusion drawn
from talks with the workers, but
mainly from those on the other side
of the fence—and mighty nice folk
to meet.
• • •
Just why the A. F. of L. was so
late in the day in undertaking the
organisation of the southern textile
industry is something that never
has been very satisfactorily ex
plained to me.
The industry ran for years, and
the federation apparently disre
garded it completely.
At the risk of offending some good
A. F. of L. friends. I must admit a
lurking suspicion that the poor pay
of the southern workers made them
look to federation officialdom scarce
ly worth bothering with.
If so. it was jolted into activity
recently when the communists saw
a god chance to break in. and took
the initiative.
Something Jolted it. anyway.
• • •
At present the A. F. of L. Is busj
.
—but not where the communist*
are busy.
They will not send organizers into
a district where the communists al
ready are at work, federation officials
cay. and engage in a three-cornered
fight—the A. F. of L. versus the
communists versus the employers.
I certainly would not get out in
the A. F. of L.'s favor—if I were the
communists—from any place where
a communistic start has been made.
Whv should they?—after standing
the first shock of battle.
True, a few A. F. of L. represen
tatives have been thrown out of
southern textile territory.
But Fred E. Beal. K. O. Byers.
W. M McGinnis. Louis McLaughlin.
George Carter, Joseph Harrison, J.
C. Heffner, Robert Allen, Russell
Knight. N. F. Gibson. K. Y. Hen
dricks. Delmar Hampton. Vera
Bush. Amy Schecter and Sophie
Melvin, of the communists, are fac
ing death In Jail at Gastonia.
These men and women have
eemed the right. If thev eseape the
electric chair, to hold their ground
against any rival organizers—com
mimlsticaUy speaking.

we’ve worked hard, and some cof
better than nothing, aren't they?"
Chatty did n-t answer her.
Her bright gray-green eyes were
on the forks that Sara was laying
carefully at each place. They were
heavy forks of sterling silver. And
upon the handle of each one of
thpm was engraved an old English
"B.”
"What's 'B' —for ‘Billie?’" she
asked, bluntly. Sara looked up and
shook her head. "Why. no. Billies
married name was Brewster.” she
said. "Didn t you know that?”
"No. I haven't known Billie very
long—only since last Monday.”
“O-ooh, I see—” And Sara, look
ing as If she wished she hadn't said
as much as she had. went quickly
out into the kitchen, mumbling
something over her shoulder about
her ham burning
Chatty followed her. She was dy
ing to ask more questions. She
wanted to know how long Billie had
been married, and why she wasn't
married now? . . . And was she
divorced, or had her husband died?
And why didn't she use the name
of "Brewster?”
But something about the set of
Sara's chin and the firm way she
kept her lips tightly pressed togeth
er while she turned the slices of
frying ham. kept Chatty silent.
After a moment or two she left
the kitchen and went into the pret
ty living room where Billie and
George Mayhew were sorting books
and putting them into a hand
carved bookcase.
"I wonder if he knows that Bil
lie's been married.” she said to her
self. "If he doesn’t he certainly
ought to.”
But she made up her mind tnat
she was not going to tell him It he
did not know it. No. indeed, she was
never going to talk about Bille.
She had been sweet to her, and be
sides. she wanted Billie for a friend.
For handn't Billie promised her
the two of the: i would sometimes
have little 8ur lay night suppers
here in the flat, and invite "some
of the boys from the office” to
them? “Some of the boys from the
office meant Dave Jordan to Chatty.
On Monday noon something hap
pened that took Billie Langenau
and her mysterious marriage com
pletely out of Chatty's head—for
the time being, at any rate.
She was in the girls’ cloak room
to get ready to go out for lunch
when Agnes Herford come in.
She looked brighter and younger
than usual. There was a little color
in her cheeks and she had pinned a
white muslin collar around the neck
of the plain serge dress that was
her regular working dress.
She seemed to be in a great hur
ry. and Chatty saw he. smile to her
self in the long mirror above the
wash bowls as she put on her hat
and pulled on her shabby brown
kid gloves. Agnes was the kind of a
girl who never would think of wear
ing a string of indestructible pearls
or a drop of perfume, but who nev- I
| er went out upon the street with
1 out gloves.
••Goodbye," she said to Chatty.
“I'd ask you to have lunch with me
—only I'm having it with—a man."
She fairly glowed as she spoke.
And as she was shutting the door
, it came to Chat in a flash that
I sometimes, according to Billie. Davs
! Jordan took Agnes out lunch.
“I'll bet he’s taking her today!”
she thought, and rushed to the door
to see.
But before she reached it. it w-af
flung open from the outside, and
Winnie Talcott came rushing in.
“Hist!" she • hispered, one over
mameured finger on her painted
mouth. “Scandal!'*
“Scandal?” Chatty repeated, try
ing to open the door once more.
Side by side, heads close togeth
er. they peered out into the main
office.
Agnes was standing by the door
that led out imo the corridor of
the building buttoning her gloves.
She was still smiling to herself.
Presently the door of Mr. “Van's"
office opened, and he came out. Ke
looked very dapper, and there was a
red carnation i:. his button-hole.
Together he and Agnes went out.
The doors shut behind them.
"Well, what do you think about
that?” Winnie wanted to know, her
eyes as big as saucers, “It's i.ever
happened before down ..ere . .
Mr. Van has never looked at any of
us girls, and why he or anyone else
should look at Aggie Herford, now
or at any other time, is beyond me.
Why she hasn’t any more charm or
‘it’ than an adding machine, has
she?”
Chatty was always glad to hear
anyone say cutting things about
other people . . . Like all gos
sips. she loved to listen almost as
much as she loved to talk.
"I think she’s absolutely blah,”
she agreed
“And she's always been so nieey
nice; too!” Winnie tola li?r, draw

GARCIA LIBRARY
HAS RARE BOOKS
Aztec History Among Old
Volumes In Texes Uni
versity Archives
AUSTIN. Aug. 1.—An Astec his
tory of th$ conquest of Mexico by
Cortez is one of the most interest
ing and valuable possessions of the
Garcia library at the University of
Texas. The Genaro Garcia collec
tion was purchased by the univer
sity in 1921 at a total cost of $104,
539. The collection, when bought,
comprised 11,000 volumes, 15,000
pamphlets, numerous files of news
papers and perodicals, and 400,000
pages of manuscript. The private
archives of a dozen Mexican revolu
tionary patriots and 19th century
statesment are nobble among the
manuscripts.
The Aztec history is a copy of the
original, dated 1511, found in the
Vatican at Rome and copied by
Garcia. The original was painted
on Maguey parchment and consists
of a serlss of vividly painted pic
tures depicting the conquest.
Four invitations to the com
mencement exercises of the Nation
University of Mexico in the latter
part of the 19th century are works
of art and Illustrate the Mexican
appreciation for beauty. The invi
tations are of various colors of vel
vet in book form, embossed in gold
and hand engraved.
A first edition of Sir Thomas
More’s “Utopia” in Latin is the
most •valuable book in the collec
tion. It is dated 1518 and was ex
purgated during the time of the
Spanish inquisition.
The oldest book in the collection
is a mariner's table, also written in
Latin, and dating back to 1494. The
back of this book, which contains
a fortune tailing section, shows the
marks of many sailors’ figures who
thumbed through the pages look
ing for good or evil omens.
A printer's copy showing proof
reading signs of a newspaper called
the Gazette of Madrid, dated 1698
to 1788, is an interesting part of the
collection. The newspaper is the
size of an average book and con
tains news of various cities, Includ

VALLEY AGENCY WILL

(Special to The Herald)
MERCEDES. Aug. 1.—Another
step in the growth of the James
Advertising Agency, Inc., of this
city, comes with the announcement
by R. J. Meeker, president of the or
ganization, of the appointment of
the agency as advertising counselors
to the Baker-Potts Nursery, the
largest company of its kind in the
Valley.
"The appointment is the result of
a desire on the part of the larger
business concerns of the Valley for
systematically-planned and execut
ed advertising.” Mr. Meeker said.
"They realize that the expenditure
of large sums of constructive ad
vertising demands the employment
of specialists In this field.”
MISSION GETS MORE
WATER AT SAME COST
(Special to The Herald)
MISSION. Aug. 1.—Water users
in this city will be given 10.000 gal
lons of water, beginning the first
day of August, the minimum cost
still remaining at $2.50.
This is the second change made
by the city government, which sev
eral months ago changed the
amount to 8,000 gallons from 5.000.,
which had been the prevailing rate
for several years.
The city council has increased
the amount of water to the users
without increasing the price, in or
der that the citizens may be en
couraged to plant trees and beautify
the lawns, because of the near ap
proach of the tourist season.
