The Shoe Factory.

Some 40 or more Knights Of Labor left
the shoe factory Wednesday afternoon
last in obedience to orders from head
quarter, and other hands went ont
with them or failed To return to work
the next morning aud some Of them
still remain out.
Citizens of Skowhcgan have invested
S36 900 in the grounds. buildings, anu
machinery, beside investments in tehe-
ment houses. streets aud impro' ements
of various kinds and are to that extent
at least. Interested to have the business
continue. These citizens put their III me-
into the enterprise for the SAKE Of build
ing up the town, making business ana
giving employment to our people a Wen
As to draw other people to the place Ii
has had this effect, the population OF the
town has been increased one thousand
since the enterprise started.
The labor organizations of Massaehu-
sets are determined If possible TO break
down the shoe business in Name lhes
desire to have it all done in Massachu-
sets where they can controlit. This i very
natural and we can thus easily account
for their urea, interest in business inMaine'
but why any labor organization OF Maine
or any man In Maine should take hold ana
help them drive business out OF the Stale
is something beyond our comprehension
We cannot think that the knights OF La
bor of Maine or of Skowhegan desire To
drive the business now being done III
Skowhegan by kcenc Bros. out OF the
town and back to Lynn, but this viii be
the inevitable result of their efforts II It
has any effect whatever These parties
who are at work to this end, whatever
their purpose whether they are honest IN
it or whether they design mischief, are
enemies to every man, woman and chlld
in Skowhe.an-en enemies to the employer
to .hc trader, to the farmer and above all
greater enemies to those who work for
day wages. The Others 1t effects IN
directly. but the employe it effects III
rcctly and disastrously
Citizens Of Skowhegan cannot look up
on these things unmovcd. They cannot
see the business of the town jc0pardizcd
without feeling and talking and acting
and they will use all honorable measures
to protect the interests of the town and
the people.

Public Spirit.

Tn passing through Hallowcll by tram
ones attention is attracted 10 NmaI'
granite building of modern architecture
and unique design, a substantial and beau
tiful structure. standing not far from the
NJ. C. station. Answer to inquiry VIII H.
lirit the fact that this gem OF architecture
/. occupied A. public library and It's
erection was largely through the munifi-
cence of Hon Joseph r. Bodwell VINO
personally contributed the granite blocks
for the outside of the structure. Beside
this the Hallowell Granite Company
largely owned by Mr. Bodwcll, contrihut-
ed generously TO its completion.
This tribute to literature from one OF
the busiest men in America is evidence OF
his regard, not only for the material vel
fare of the people Of the city by develop
ing its resources and giving employment
to a large number of men but also for
the Improvement Of the mind and morals
by contributing so largely fer the instruc-
tion and entertainment of the people in
their leisure hours. There is no one thing
after schools and churches that Is OF such
great and lasting utility to any town as a
well established and well managed public
library and the man that contributes to
this end shows wisdom that cannot be
controyerted.
