There seems to be a dis
position among the papers of
the state to talk about what
the newspaper men got or
didn't get at the late demo-
catric convention. We make
bold to say that they all got all
they deserved. We mean by
this that they deserve moth
ing out of politics. AS long
as we North Carolina editors
continue to throw upour hands
at every intimation of a hold
up from the politicians, and
as long as we are ready to
shout for them on the slight
est provocation, and make
hOnOrables out of noodles, or
swallow with a gulp anything
they care to say or do, so long
will they continue to sit COM
placently in their saddles upon
our backs and ride into the
emoluments of ''something
just as good" If we don't
like their treatment, we have
the power to make them bet
ter it, and If we don't care to
do that, then it is not worth
while to be talking about how
they treat us.-Greensboro

Chicago, April 3.-With the blowing
of Chicago for the beginning of work
Monday thousands of machinists re-
sumed the work interrupted some
weeks ago by a strike. About half
the $500 men who went out re-
sumed their labors and the manufac-
turers said that as the differences
had either been settled or put on a
basis to be arbitrated. the remainder
of the machinists would undoubtedly
return in struggling lots during the
next two or three days. The agree
ment entered into recently by repre-
sentatives of the manufacturers and
the men was ratified yesterday at a
mass meeting. the vote being 3,O2s
in favor of ratifying the modified
agreement and 396 against it.
The strike has cost the men $780,
600 in salaries while the loss to the
manufacturers through inability to
complete contracts cannot be readily
calculated. The men have been
granted a nine-hour day with ten
hours pay.
Fifty thousand members of the
Building Trades council learned that
their fellow-workmen. in another
trade had gone back to work with
feelings of envy. BY reason of
strikes and lockouts they have been
