SOUND MONEY CLUB.
A great deal more can be said about
the organization of Sound Money Club
No. than has appeared In the news
papers. II is useless for the Chesapeake
and Ohio officials to try to impress the
public with the idea that the organiza-
ton OF this club was a move among the
employees. II was more properly a move
upon the employees. although your cor
respondent has not heard OF one instance
where coercion was resOrted 10 I'm Sc
curing members for the club. The first
step In this city was 10 circulate among
the great number of employees Of the
road hundreds Of copies Of the pamphlet
entitled, Mr.. ANtell Tells Why He Can
not Vote for the Chicago Nominees"
These were distributed by the hand of an
employee Of the company who came here
from Richmond. On last Wednesday an
other man-believed TO be In the pay Of
the Chesapeake and Ohio-came TO New
port News and addressed about 100 yard
employees I'm the vicinity of the shops.

the organization of the club. Two petit
lions were at once sent among the yards
men, who. in signing. pledged themselves
Is vote for no frce-silVer candidate and
TO do everything in their power to pre-
vent the ascendancy Of the white metal.
These petitions were carried from the
yard to the piers. but II Is understood that
there they were not received in the same
welcome spirit and only few men
signed them These petitions your CORE
spondent has been informed. were first
circulated by Messrs. J. w. Foley and
IT, r. Simpson, who hold positions with
the Chesapeake and Ohio. on last Fri
day night, twenty-nine men, all supposed
10 be in the employ of the company, met
i'm the rooms of the Young Mems Demo

nal superintendent Of the road, rs its
president.
