Chicago, Sept. 21.-The Chicago Fed
Grafton Of Labor yesterday appealed
to President Roosevelt to change his
decision on the open shop" question.
A 1,000-word letter to the chief exec
uive was prepared by five members
Of q special committee appointed for
the purpose. The employers ara
spoken Of as the distinguished an
archists" and "capitalistic vipers" of
the country. The federation declares
that it is not Mr.. Roosevelts fault
that he decided in favor of open
Shops" but is only because he was
pressed on by men whose power is
greater than his. A passage Of the
letter reads:
at was characteristic of a clear
souled and big-hearted man like your
self, unacquainted with and inexperi-
enced in the moral deformity which
underlies the action Of the strike
breaking working man and Of the
hypocrisy of the world of finance in
applauding the strike breakers, to rush
to the rescue with an appeal to de-
cency."

THE RACE PROBLEM.
How DR.. bowie VIII Solve 1t at
Zion City.
WHITES AND BLACKS TO IyTERMARRY


Chicago, Sept. 21.-John Alexander
Dowie has solved the race problem, TO
his own satisfaction at least, and In
tends that his solution shall be put In
practice at once at Zion City. HIS
plan, which is a simple one, provides
for the intermarriage Of blacks and
whites on the ground that I'VE are all
members Of one great family" The
views of Dowie on this matter are
published in the current number OF
his magazine, Leaves Of Healing. The
subject of his exposition Is, THE
Rights of the Philippians In America,
lions Solution Of the Problem of the
Races. with an Examination OF the
University Convocation Grafton OF John
Temple Graves, of Atlanta, Ca"
II trust" Dowie says, that we shall
have marriages in Zion between all the
families of the one great race upon
the earth, for there are not number
of races. There is only one race, but
there are many families. All this non
sense about different races is Just SO
much trash. You must remember that
there was grumbling about Moses mar
rying an African woman. But God
said, My servant Moses is faithful In
all mine house, Ye southern people,
with that big black spot on your heart,
do not forget It, God had not lost
confidence in Moses because he had
married an Ethiopian woman.
"You hear men talking, like Lori
mer, Of Boston, that high priest OF
Baal, a Mason who enters into lodge
where the Christ's sacred name can
not be spoken, and he wants a lilly
white party should think Miriam
would about suit him. The high priest
did not fight Moses any more, but he
wanted Moses to pray. He could not
pray the prayer of faith that saves the
sick, for he had drawn the color line
on his own brother and God was angry
with him for doing So The man that
fights his fellow men on grounds OF
racial distinction cannot pray the
prayer OF iaitn tha' heaiS 'n' Bin "a
physical slcKneSs' =,
"Lorimer cannot pray the prayer OF
faith. They cannot pray who rebel
merely because white man marries
a black woman. 1t is quite clear what
God thought about the racial question,
so-called, in His action in regard to the
wife OF Moses IL is ASTONISHING nTw

RAILWAY RUMBLINGS.

The fall season is an unusually
busy one with the railroads, and
the employees on tho Columbus
division of the Southern have
been kept hustling during the
past few days, Trainmaster
Stifler spends most of his time on
the road in charge of a special
train which is being used for the
sole purpose of handling cotton.
The Southern is compelled to put
on train of this character each
fall in order to prevent the plat
forms Of the different stations
between this city and Greenville
from becoming congested with
cotton.
The Percy branch, which has
until recently been equipped with
a narrow gage track, has been
transformed into a broad gauge
road. and was recently inspected

party of Southern officials
Mr.. t. F. Mahon has accepted

with so much success will be
adopted. There will be commit

who will make a house to house
canvass of the city for donations,
and the affairs of the organiza-

DEVELOPMENTS

The cause for the suicide of
Mr.. Harry frost, which was told
Of in The Commercial last Sun
day, still remains a mystery,
there having been absolutely no
reason for the deed. Members of
Mr.. Trost's family say that he
was of moody temperament and
worried unnecessarily over triv-
ial matters, but even this offers
no satisfactory explanation, as
he was in good shape finan cially,
his home life was very happy and
he possessed much greater
number of blessings than fall to
the lot of the average nan.
Mr.. Trost's remains were on
last Sunday taken to Birmingham
for interment. being escorted to
the depot by Columbus Lodge

deceased was a member.
