From The Shreveport Times an editorial argues the National Labor Relations Board ruling against the Darlington textile mill threatens the core principle of free private enterprise. It details how the mill closed in 1956 amid mounting debt and a narrowly won union, and why forcing payback wages and six percent interest for six years would compel ongoing operation despite financial impossibility. The Milliken family appeals, while the union seeks reopening with new machinery, raising a broader challenge to whether owners may shut down for any reason.
