In the Law and Equity Court yesterday
Mr.. William l.. Royal. counsel for
Charles Meighon. filed his declaration in
The suit recently instituted by Meghon
VS.. the Master Plumbers Association of
Richmond.
The declaration alleges that conspir
acy was formed by the association, by
which no plumber belonging to the asso-
citation was to use material furnished by
the owner of house he was plumbing.
The material had to be furnished by the
plumber himself and purchased from a
merchant. who was a member of the
union.
1t is further alleged this resulted In
close combine, which permitted the union
to practically control the entire plumbing
business In Richmond and Manchester.
The declaration alleges that G. &; A. Bar
gamin were coerced into joining the union.
The plaintiff alleges that he declined to
join the union and that the members OF
the association have repeatedly refused
tt, sell him supplies because he was not
member.
He further asserts that during the
month of August, 1903. he was debarred
from bidding for work. because. not be-
longing to the association. he could not
secure the supplies necessary to carry on
his business.

BIG FIGHT ON FOR
STATE LIBRARIAN
Messrs. Brent and Hanklns
Are Shortly to Re-
turn

One of the interesting events billed to
take place here in September is the meet
ing of the State Library Board, which
will take place on the 21st, to elect
librarian to succeed Mr.. w. w. Scott
whose resignation will take effect on Oc-
tober list.
The board Is composed of Messrs S. S.
P. Patteson and DR.. j A. c. Chandler
OF this city; Hon Armistead C. Gordon,
Of Staunton; Hon, John w. Fishburne
OF Charlottesville, and Judge Theodore
S. Garnett, of Norfolk city. The board
has held but one meeting so far, and at
that time set Of drastic rules We're laid
down for the government of the library,
among them being one to require that
whoever shall be chosen to succeed Mr..
Scott shall have technical knowledge,
which will enable him to catalogue the
books in the library after the rules OF
tho most modern Institutions of the kind.
There are nearly dozen candidates for
the place, but so far ms Is known here
only two Captain Frank p. Brent and
Mr.. ]. G. Hankins, are the only ones who
are preparing themselves for the work
They are both at Amherst. Mass, study
ing at a technical school, and will shortly
return here and look after their fences.
Captain Brent Is ut present secretary Of
the State Board of Education, and Mr..
HankIns Is assistant secretary Of the
Commonwealth. They are both popular
among the public men or the State and
hundreds of letters nave been written to
the various members of the board In
their respective interests by their friends.
When the board meets 1t will probably
take IN some other matters also relating
to the library than the choosing OF
librarian.

them all Is the mob of organized labor.

stantly railing against the laws ana
denouncing courts and public officials for
enforcing these laws. It fulfills all the
requirements Of the definition OF mobo-
cracy. Unlike the lynching bees ana Inc
vigilance committees, It is what might
be termed a standing mob, undcr 1alr
discipline by It's officers and ready upon
occasion to commit the overt acts OF out
rage and destruction. which are the out
ward manifestation OF the mob spirit. II
declares in effect that It's will Is superior
to customs. traditions. government resu.

cordance with law. Negroes who. COM
nit ';he usual crime" are probably too
degraded to give any thought to conse-
aucnces. About the only thing, that. can
be done with them is to extermtnatc them.
or, perhaps, better yet, subject them TO
surgery; Mr. Graves regards this form
of punishment as more likely to deter
than the death penalty. AT any rate,
the hangman or the surgeon should make
1t certain that the man who has commit
ted this crime once shall never commit
it again. But lynchlng, especially when
accomplished BY torture which is In
creasinglv common. has no more deter-
rent influence than an execution; per-
haps not so much as surgery; but 1t I'M
questionably brutalizes the community.
