CORRECTION.
Messrs. Hill & Son,
Sequachee, Tenn.

CCuudCHc6, SHh'
Dear Sirs:-
Kindly permit me to correct a
wrong quotation in your issue of the
3rd inst, pertaining to the increased
membership of the United Mine
Workers of America In my address
in your town on Monday night 3lst.
Anyone familiar with mining stats
tics will readily observe the figures
being higher than the actual number
of coal miners employed IN the Uni
ted States. The latest statistics show
about $4,000 coal miners in the
United States. That number, how
ever, will be greatly increased in the
next statistical report. The inereas-
ed membership of the United Mine
Workers of America during the last
fonr years is from 10000 to 250,OO0,
an increase in the last four years OF
240,000. The increase in District
l9 for the last 81 months of the u.
NJ. w. of A, is from 720 to over
| 1000. The figures you quoted were
not pertaining to the U. NJ, w. Of
A. but to the American Federation
of Labor, which had an increase in
the year 1899 of 10000 and in the
year 1900 of 394,329, making an
increased membership for the A. F.
of L. in the last two years of 444 ,329.
The increase of local unions to the
A. F. of L. for the year 1900 alone
was 3,027.
This will not only correct your
quotation, but will give the general
public of the Sequachee Valley and
elsewhere a faint idea of what the
Trades Union movement is doing
Another fact clearly demonstrated is
that since the Trades Union move
ment has so nightly increased less
strikes have occurred, which natur-
ally results in better returns to EN-.
ployer and employe, and also to th'
public in general The Trades I'm.
ion movement, if conducted witt
conservatism and sound discretion
will only tend to harmonize employ
er and employe. and will only resul
in advancing prices, improving con
ditions, elevating morals, enrichinl
communities and blessing the nation
Very truly yours,
| JOE VASEY.

Are you Dr. Melcher who had charge

This inquiry was made by Spring
field lady who was grasping my hand
few days ago, On my reply in the Ai-
firmative, she said:
Il was one of the Ferguson girls who
visited the sick Southern men in that
hospital IN 1882.

memories that had been sleeping near

oners from the battle OF Shiloh. At
that time | inspected the prisons every
day to learn If any we're in need OF med

those soldiers and in La Grange, Tenn,
frequently met one, a prosperous mer-
chant, who told me with tear-dimmed
eyes of his gratitude for the care he
had received in that little Hickory
street hospital.
Few of the young people Of the pres

1t is sincerely to be hoped that they
may not know soon, from experience.

days OF the early sixties will have ans

it thrills one with pleasure to grasp

war. S. Ii. MELCHER.
