But there seems to be more in this
convict labor system than appears
upon the surface. Senator Thomas
G. Plstt, president Of the Tennessee
Coal and Iron company, in a recent
interview respecting this system, says:
One Of the chief reasons which first induced
the company to take up the system was the
great chance which It seemed to present for
overcoming strikes. For some years after we
began the convict labor system we found that
We were right In calculating that the free labor
ers would be lOath to enter upon strikes when
they saw that the company was amply provided
with convict labor, and as I am one that does
not approve Of the icOnVlct system, don't mind
saying that for many years the company found
this an effective club to be held over the heads
OF the free labOrers.
Think of this for q moment A
wealthy mining company whose presi-
dent has been honored by seat in
the United States senate, employing
penitentisry Convicts at cheap rates
with the idea that free laborers, see
ing the company was amply pro-
vided with convict labor, would be
losth to enter upon strikes" and hold
ing this fact as a "club over the heads
of honest men to terrorize them into
the most abjeCt submission.
But it is unnecessary to detail
special instances Of the encroach-
ments of capital upon the rights Of
labor, or the unsatisfactory results of
past or present methods of resistance.
has yet been attempted by
the great body Of organized lsborers
to change the conditions
that render strikes and lock-outs
possible. It must begin to dawn upon
the minds Of lsboring men that this
is the only practical solution of the
labor problem. Everything else ls
merely of temporary benefit, even if
successful. AS long as these condi-
tions exist, there is no hope or possi-
bility of permanent relief.
How is this change to be effected? I?
The conditions have grown up under
q system of class legislation and class
favoritism for which existing political
parties are responsible, and which
they manifest no disposition to
remedy; and if laboring men would
make their organizations effectual for
the permanent betterment Of their
condition, they should utilize them
politically for the overthrow OF parties
that propose no practical plan Of re-
lief, and in support Of party that is
pledged to such a revolution as will
enable the industrial classes to legis-
late in their own interests. There
are laws that must be repealed and
others that must be enacted The
power to control the volume Of cur
rency must be taken from corpora
tions and restored to the people where
it cOnstitutionslly belongs. Taxation
must be limited to the necessities of
an economically administered gov
ernment, and it must be levied upon
the possessions and the incomes Of
the wealthy rather than upon the ne
cessities consumed by the poor. The
lsborer must be protected against the

The society which for many years has
occupied the attic of the Westmoreland
Club, where It's books, papers and manu-
scripts are stored, and on whose walls
IT'S numerous paintings are hung. has been
offered as a library and home by the
family of the late John Stewart. Of Brook
Hill-the building No. 7O7 east Franklin
which was the home Of the family OF
General Robert l.. Lee during the war
and for some time after.

He was followed by Mr.. Thomas Nelson

remarks, that one of the most perfect his
torical societies In the United States was
that Of Wisconsin, and that we had a
wealth Of documents and material unsur-
passed by any, but useless as the society
was now situated.
Professor Dabney, being present, was
called on and made some excellent re-
marks upon the necessity Of our prepar-
ing ourselves to meet the assaults OF our
enemies and their detection Of those who
should be our friends.
Mr.. J.. II. Mcclure was the last speaker,
and after he closed a subscription paper
