CHOIR BOYS ON A STRIKE
Trinity Cathedral Juveniles Revolt
and Thus Disturb Local Indus
trial Conditions.

Omaha is In the throes of another grave
Industrial conflict. The Trinity Cathedral
choir boys have struck. The revolution
occurred Sunday night as a result OF some
difference on the wage proposition between
the Juvenile sonRsters and their employer.
F. II. Wright, organlst and musical Ill
rector.
The clash at Trinity came when the gong
sounded for the boys to file into their
customary places for the Sunday evening
services. Not lad stirred. Having de
cided to stand or fail together. they kept
their seats and let the older members OF
the choir do the singing for that service
The Juveniles. It seems had entered into
a compact not to work" unless conces.
slons were made on the wage proposition
and as no concessions were Forthcoming
there was nothing for them to do but
make good" on their agreement, which
they did despite the appeals of Mr.. Wright
and the Intervention of Rector Craig.
As the choir boys ara not members OF
Central Labor union or afnllated with the
American Federation of Labor or not even
organized into a local union, some apprc-
henslon IS felt for their ability to with
stand the cgdeal OF prolonged struggle.
Under the circumstances Central Labor
union Is not at liberty to OFFER financial
help toward maintaining the strike even
giving formal moral support. but there Is
some talk OF having representative from
the national federation come TO Omaha and
organize the choir boys. so that formal
recognition may be given by other labor
unions to their case. In the meantime.
however, influences are at work TO bring
about a reconciliation between the con
tending factions" There Is some talk Of
trying to induce settlement by means Of
arbitration and in this connection Il has
been suggested that n member OF the Bust
ness Mems association, Union Pacific
oficial and two members OF Central Labor
Union be selected as the board Of arbi-
tratIon to grapple with the aggravating
problem.

THE TARBORO DIsPENSaRY AND
SHE NEGRO VOTE.

The Rocky Mount Motor prints the
communication OF Mr. Henry A. Gillian
denying that the anti-dispensary people
sought to register the negro vote in the
recent dispensary election, copies its
own editorial to which Mr. Gilliam's let
ter was a reply, and then says:
LAS will be seen this article did not
make the statement that the result OF
doing away with the dispensary was &C
complished by the negro vote. At the
time of writing the referred to article, our
information was that negroes had been
registered who were refused registration
in the State election and that these were
expected to vote for the doing away with
tn dispensary. Our articles was very
guarded in it's statements for we know
how easy it is to make errors in describ-
ing situation as prevailed in Tarboro
unless the one writing can be on the
scene and sift for the real facts. Con-
sequently we stated according to our in
formation negroes had been registered
who We're refused registration in the
State election and were expected to vote
solidly for the dissolution of the dispen-
sary.' According to Mr.. Gilliam's state
ment the negroes weer registered; and we
believe were registered through the eff
forts of the nti-dispensary force to vote
against dispensary. This would make
our statement correct. We do not want
to do anyone an injustice But from
reliable reports that came from Tarboro
it did appear that the forces ightino the
dispensary were working negro voters to
gain their end that were not allowed to
vote in the State election. This was the
substance of our comment and we believe
it to be true.
The value OF all this to the State is to
impress upon all Demoerats-wheth
prohibitionists or i-prohibitionists or
advocates of the dispensary-that an APP
peal to the negro vote would do more
harm than any victory for or against the
liquor traffic could do good.
Moral: SIT down upon either side that
caters to the negro vote or seeks to get
negroes registered.

OPENINGS FOR WOMEN.

New avenues of employment for wo-
men are being opened every day in
this State. In Reidsville the +. r. Penn To-
bacco Company will in the future employ
young women and girls in the smoking
tobacco department. The Old North State
Company tried employing girls some time
ago and have found it profitable and sat
isfactory. In Greenville and Elizabeth
City women are employed as printers
and in the office of Kings Weekly a
woman is pressman.
There are those who deplore the ten
dency of women to work in stores and
in factories, holding that it tends to
make fewer marriages and to crowd men
cut of gainful pursuits. However their
employment may affect sociology, the
practical fact is that women more than
ever wish to be self supporting and are
capable OF doing work calling for the
highest skill. When they are capable
and anxious to work, in the long run
it makes for the progress of the world
that the door of opportunity should be
opened to them.

CRIME IN NORTH AND SOUTH
CAROLINA.

or late much has been said about the
relative killings in North Carolina and in
South Carolina. Life is cheap in both
States and murders and homicides are
steadily growing more FREQUENT. One
thing Is true: North Carolina, with its
recent black record, cannot criticize
South Cardinals bloody record.
Discussing the prevalence Of killing in
South Carolina the Nashville American
says:
According to the annual report of the
attorney general Of South Carolina for
1902 there were 223 homicides and muir
ders committed in that State last year.
That is to say, 223 men and women were
actually arraigned for the crime of TAX
ing human life. The number of offenders
who were not tried is not given. OF the
223 arraigned, 102 were acquitted OF
those convicted, only three were hanged
The population OF South Carolina is
about 100000 II the killing in other
States had been in the same ratio to
population as in South Carolina, more
than $4,000 persons would have been
slaughtered-a number equal to eleven
regiments of 1900 men each-a larger
number than were killed on the American
side in the Spanish and Philippine wars -
The figures in the report of the attorney
general of this State show clearly that
the crime of murder is increasing in
North Carolina. The report gives two
year periods from January list, 1889, to
1908, making seven such periods. In the
first there were 80 murder trials, in the
second 154, in the third 179, in the fourth
1856. in the fifth 1885, in the sixth 1879, in
the seventh 204. Trials for manslaughter
have increased from Is for the first per-
iod to 60 for the last, and trials for muir
der in the second degree which during
the first two years were only 40, are now
81. Burglary has Increased from 81 to so,
