United TEXTILE WORKERS
First Annua Convention of tn
Body Begins in Washington.

Washington, October 1.-THE first
annual convention of the United Textile
Workers of America, whose organiza-
ton was perfected in this city a year
ago, began here today. About seventy
delegates representing every branch OF
the textile industry are in attendance
from New England, the Middle and
Southern states and scattering ones
from the West. The annual reports Of
the officers of the organization showing
the progress made during the past year
occupied the main portion of today's
session. Reports show a total strength
in the association of 185 unions and
about Is, 900 members.
President Samuel Gompers, of the
American Federation of Labor address,
ed h convention during the afternoon.
He promised the help Of the federation
to the new organization in all ways in
it's power and said the federation al
ways had tried to inculcate the spirit
Of unionism among the textile workers.
Mr.. GomperS said the federation aimed
to stir up public feeling on the subject
of child labor in Southern textile mills
and to secure the passage of remedial
laws. The coa miners strike just about
to end, Mr.. Gompers said, was the
greatest battle labor ever made.

Congressman Pou i'm an Interview
on constitutional Amendment
Especial to The Nessenger.)

fSnSFldl 10 Inc 21tSS%HAtA
raleigh. North Carolina, October 90
Your correspondent asked James H
Pou. Esq, whether IL was the policy OF
the democratic part 10 enforce the
amendment harshly and technically. He
said NO. our purpose IS to execute the
amendment in a Just and fair spirit
Every negro entitled 10 register should
be allowed to register. Three classes OF
negroes are entitled TO registration un-
der the Grandfather clause.
/. Old issue free negroes who voice
In this state prior TO 1855 ana their Ie-
scendants-
.. Negroes or the descendants OF SucR,
who lived prior 10 1861 in states which
permitted negroes 10 vote. and who
voted in said states.
3. Negroes born OF white mothers
Such negroes are entitled 10 regist-a-
ton regardless OF any inability 10 cad
or write. Then. every negro man not
convicted Of felony, a citizen OF this
state. for W years. is entitled TO + gis-
ter. If he can read or write corr, tJ
any section of the constitution. We
hold that this means what such " IDS
ordinarily import-a substantial COM
pliance, not absolute perfection. nor
technical and exact accuracy. The mis-
spelling OF a word. when IL is plain
what the word is. mistakes in punctua-
ton, capitals. etc, viii not deprive 4
man OF the right TO register. Such mis-
takes are not permitted 10 avoid Il
deed, a will or even an act of the gen
eral assembly. For generations the
doctrine of Idem Sonons has cured such
errors. Such trifies should not de-
prive q man of his vote.
The payment of poll tax is a pre-re-
q~uisite for voting. but a man may regis
ter who did not pay his poll tax, pro-
vided he is otherwise qualified.
No doubt the enemies of the amend
ment would like TO see us enforce IL ia
a rigid INC harsh manner They be-
lieve such a course on our part would
make the amendment unpopular. and
hat its position, legally n morally. 4
it ever came before the courts. would
be weakened. Another thing people
should be thinking about is this. After
six years this educational test must be
applied 10 the white voter. If We now
require absolute perfection from tn
negro. we will be compelled TO then re-
quire absolute perfection from thr
white voter. The requirement of per
lection in reading, writing and spell
ing and punctuation is much more thar
the trainers of the amendment eve'
intended to require. \ fair substantial
compliance with the test is all that
should be required.
If republicans could show that we
Systematically denied registration IL
men entitled. some of our members of
congress might have ugly contests on
their. hands.
Our policy is to let every man regis
ter and vote who, under a fair n jus;
construction of the constitution, is en-
titled to register and vote.

sands of responsible and substantial
men whose business interests and whose
economic IDEAS incline them to Iepub-
lican principles and policies, they held
aloof because Of the d~istosteful, we may
say the intolerable, associations into
which the new alliance would precipi-
tate them. The republican situation at
the south is now a wholesome and a
hopeful one. Nobody down that way
cares what northern politicians think
or say. Still less do the directors Of
the new movement trouble themselves
over the comments of northern orators

your attention today. Ask yourself r
you have registered, and if o nave
not don't put it off any longer, but so
today and lave your name enrolled on
that permanent list. Tell your neigh

that there is an entirely new registra-
