Xtp and said he wouldn't mind run-

a couple of hours off every afternoon
to rest after lunch . . . Ewton replied
that was a good Idea all right but
what he wanted was a man to work
«sd he didn’t think H. S. knew much
about that.

Contract Useless
“I wouldn’t refuse to sign a con-
Brockelhurst and Miss Felton near tract with the CIO if the Supreme
Court said I had to, because I don’t
violate the law.
“I’m trying to tell this commit-
tee I won’t have a contract with an
irresponsible, communistic, violent,
racketeering organization like the
CIO as long as the law doesn’t re-
quire me to do so."
Girdler reiterated the refusal of
his company to sign contracts with
the CIO, and contended that the
, "basic issue” of the strike in Re-
public and other steel plants is “the
right of American citizens to work,
free from molestation by labor or-
ganizations.”
In a statement before he sub-
mitted to questioning by commit-
tee members, Girdler contended that
a written contract with the CIO
"Is not worth the paper it is written
on.” He denied union charges that
Republic violated the national fire-
arms act by maintaining "arsenals”
in its plants.
Three Accusations
Girdler demanded that labor un- j
ions be made "legally responsible” j
for their actions. He made three 1
specific charges against the CIO: I
1— “The CIO has denied to free j
! American citizens who refuse to pay i
tribute to it, the right to work.
2— “The CIO encourages and
promotes violence and disregard of
1 law.
3— “The CIO Is associated with
j Communism; many of its leaders i
and organizers are avowed Commu-
nists.”
Girdler contended that the fun-1
j damental issue in the strike “Ls not
I one involving wages, hours or work- J
| ing conditions In Republic plants.” !
j Referring to statements by Sen. j
i Joseph Guffey, Dem., Pa., and Philip
Murray of the steel workers’ organi- i
zing committee that the sole Issue!
of the strike was that of a signed |
contract, Girdler said:
“Mr. Murray Is a liar to the best
of my knowledge and always has
been and Senator Guffey doesn’t
know what he’s talking about.’’
Assertion Not Withdrawn
Chairman Kenneth McKellar of
the committee interrupted Girdler,
asking him to withdraw his refer-
ence to Guffey as uncalled for.
“I don’t think It disrespectful
to say a Senator or anyone else
doesn’t know what he is talking
about,” Girdler rejoined.
’’This,” he said, “is not a strike
in the sense that a large body of
our employees quit work because of
grievances against the company.
What has happened is that an in-
vading army descended on our
plants and forced many of our em-
ployees from their jobs.
“There still exist certain funda-
mental recognized civil rights, the
right to free speech, to a free press,
to a free assembly.
“These are all without substance
unless coupled with the right to
work, tree from coercive influence.
This right ls the basic issue in
the present controversy."

The victim was placed in Jail
by Policeman Goldie Hathaway and

Police Chief Rude said the case
was “pretty much a puzzle.”

Yolks, I went fishing last week,
just as I almost told you that I
■would, and did I have a lot of luck?
Caught lots of fish and had a real
nice time. I did not personally catch
all of the fish, but I directed the
catching of them and if it had not
been for my advice to D. C. Wood
<on a big one that he hooked on his
line we would never have landed
him. You know, the best part, about
this, when we first caught this fish
we guessed him to weigh 7 or 8
pounds and the longer we kept out
•the bigger he got and by Sunday he
SUPPORT HOME INSTITUTIONS
(An Editorial)
Being in the retail business ourselves, it’s quite natural
for us to believe in trading at home. But even if this were
not so, we would still believe in supporting home institu-
tions on principle, because we live here and Shamrock is
our home town.
Recently an out-of-town bakery has been coming in to
our city peddling bread from house to house, cutting prices
and otherwise trying to get the business of our home baker-
ies. The nickels saved by buying this out-of-town bread,
the way we see it, are not saved at all. Because this sort of
thing, carried out to the logical conclusion in all lines of
business, would simply destroy our town, and there is no
argument about that.
So we hope Shamrock people will stay with our home
bakeries. They employ local people, they buy local goods,
they pay school and city taxes, which out-of-town bakeries
certainly do not. They turn out mighty good products and
they deserve your business.
much work and Acic never has been

has been working for me and that
was the time the building next door
got on fire.
I heard a man say this morning
that the price of wheat in Shamrock
Was 5c per bushel higher than In
Amarillo and that Just proves to me
that we yet have the best town in
the entire state.

My wife had a birthday yesterday
and she says that she is a certain
age and I believe that she ls wrong,
for when we married there was very
little difference in our ages and you
know now she has me about three
years older than her. You know she

agree with her. Now if any of you

ask her, for I am not sure that I

Mr. John Walker from down on
Elm Creek, was in the store yester-
day and said that he was getting
ready for some more rain and want-
ed me to go fishing again and cause
some rain. I told him that I did not
mind going at all, but if I was going
to cause rain to come in this country
that I was going to get paid for it,
that I had quit work of that kind
for nothing and if he would get out
and make up about $25.00 that I
would go and if it did not rain the
first night out i would stay until it
did rain, for I
I doubt very seriously whether
Mrs. Harvey Hudgins knows just
where I live for she told me last
week that she passed my house and
I was sitting on the front porCh and
my wife and children were all out
in the yard cutting weeds and I
am sure that she was mistaken in
the house, for I do not remember
an occurrence of this kind, for in
the first place I Just would not have
the heart to treat them that way,
and the next thing, I do not think
they would do it. So I am sure, Mrs.
Hudgins, that you have the wrong
place in mind.

down in my neighborhood for last
Tuesday evening my wife and I,
Buddy Rlslnger and his wife were
over on the lawn with Mr. and Mrs.
Gierhart and got to talking about
good things to eat and someone said
something about corn meal dump-
lings made with country ham hock
and the ladles all agreed that I
should make an appeal to all of the
farmers If they have any that they
do not want to bring them in and
they will buy them. I hope that some
of you really do this for they are In
dead earnest about it and want them
bad. They have a price set on them
and this will depend on the amount
of meat there ls left on them, anr’
I know one of these ladles that will
buy several of them and I feel sure
that you can dispose of every one
that you have, for Mr. Gierhart sure
got interested when they were men-
tioned and said that he sure did like
them and Buddy said that he knew
nothing about them, but was willing
to learn and personally, I know it Is
about the last word in food when
properly prepared. If you folks are
not Interested in selling them I will
make you this proposition to give
to each one of you the recipe for
making them for one really nice
juicy ham hock.
War Mother, an Italian Portrait
In the shining barrel of the vicious trench mortar, the aging Italian
war mother sees, perhaps, the image of dead sons whose pitifully
brave war medals dangle from her breast. One unheeded finger
traces a line down the steel. She doesn’t look at the young boys
—artillery soldiers of Italy—lined up in review opposite her in a
national assembly at Rome.
