oolnc Ol Cnc newspaper editors and
other ardent supporters Of Senator Nc
Laurin have been very much shocked
and outraged by what said at Union
as warning to the mill presidents not
to attempt to cocrcc their operatives.
1t is considered an objectionable sin
that / should dare to threaten to inter-
fcrc in this matter. What | said on
that occasion was for the purpose of
warming these men against attempting
to go too far.
l recognize the right of every man
TO try to persuade others TO vote with
him, but l deny that the employment
of men in mills carries with it the right
OH the part Of the owner of the mill to
cocrcc or control the votes Of the em-
ployccs. The relation between the
mill owner and the worker in the mill
Is one of mutual advantage, and the
mills were not built for the purpose Of
giving employment to labor, but for the
purpose Of making money. All men
who work in the mills give labor Tor
the money they receive. The interests
OF the mill owner and the mill hand
may be identical or II may be antago-
nistic. 1t has been common in the
manufacturing establishments to be
driven when they cannot be cajolcd
into voting the Republican ticket, and
the threats of discharging laborcrs and
closing down works in '0G, and even in
the last Presidential election no doubt
secured McKinley's triumph.
The owners of the cotton mills that
have sprung up so rapidly in South
| Carolina are in many instances North
crn men, and possibly more Northern
