politics. commented the other day on the
fact that the Democratic State ConVen-
ton had not met here for several years
and he attributed it to the fact that Rich

When the convention met here in 1898.
the meeting was held in tobacco ware
house, for the lack of a better place
There arc large halls here, but they
lack the conveniences and the acoustics
are wretched.
Richmond aspires to become one OF the
great convention cities of the country
and she can put herself In that position
if she will only put up a suitable assem-
bly, building. It Is business to push this
enterprise to completion.
We need a home for our various eGu-
cational societies, and with such build
ing as is contemplated, including great
public library, Richmond would give her
self a splendid advertisement abroad as
city Of culture and progress.
There is a practical side to this ques-
ton which is not to be ignored. The assem-
bly, building will be a fine public invest
ment.

It is poor contract indeed that does.
not work both ways. II the mine oper-3
ators should violate their contracts, the
labor unions could bring an action at law
against them. and either force them to
comply or recover damages. But when
the labor unions violate their contracts
there Is no redress whatever to the mine
operators.
To this fact more than to any other Is
due the uncertainty of labor, and the
certainty Of strikes. Worse than this
1t too often happens that when strike
is on, violence is attempted on the part
OF the strikers and property is destroyed.
But If the unions We're responsible In law
their men would be very much more con-

When labor organizations make them
