 Comer, Braxton Bragg
Comer was staunchly anti-union, and there are many references in the correspondence to his opposition to union organizing in his own mills and his approval of the harsh treatment meted out to strikers by Governor Kilby in 1917.
Comer wrote to his brother regarding the migration of African-American workers to the northern and western United States and the growing realization of those workers who remained of the value of their labor, as well as Comer's attempts to replace these workers through the efficient use of farm machinery.
Comer responded that he was "in full accord that women should vote and am glad that the world is fast recognizing that she measures up to the best." Comer wrote in 1918 to Judge Denson expressing frustration with the "state's rights crowd" that wanted railroad bonds and higher taxation, and took money from the railroads.
