Of bodily injury. There are those that

ations against striking employees, but
VIC are not of the number, on the the
Ory that a man has the right TO quit
work if he is dissatisfied and another
man has the right to take the Job if
he wants work and is satisfied with
the conditions Of employment. The
theory that a man may not only re-
fuse to work but that he may also pre-
vent others from working is an alb
surdity which cannot be recognized
or tolerated without destruction of
personal liberty and of business enter
it If labor unions were allowed to have
their way. Equally absurd and intol-
cradle is the theory that employers
may fix prices and wage rates arbi-
ests Of the public, by whose sufferanse
they are allowed 10 exist. The fore
ing Of this condition Of affairs on the
public in the past two decades by cap
Iital and labor has been provocative
of great loss, suffering and inconven-
fence to the masses OF people, and calls
more loudly for reasonable acion at
this time than at any previous time
The great drawback to securing the
necessary remedial legislation is the
fear in which both Of the great parties
stand of both capital and labor. Neith-
er party will force the matter of relief
until the voters Of the country com
pei it to do so. That time can not be
far off
The striker and the strike breaker,
as well as the corporations and the
trusts, are here to stay, and will stay

Of the American people until they are

not the masters Of the people at large.

STRIKERS AND STRIKE BREAK
ERS.

Strikers and strike breakers. like
corporations and trust combinations
conducted in restraint OF trade, are
new forces in the social order, for
which adequate laws of control and
regulation have not been made, but
which will be made, as it is not con-
eeivable that the public will much Ion
ger allow itself tC be victimized by
oranized capital on the one hand and
organized labor onthe other.

THE NEGRO AS STRIKE BREAKER.

The strike is about broken in this
city, with the loss on the side of the
strikers. The packers have found
that they can easily fill the places
with competent laborers. One Of the
bsnef1csnt results Of the strike has
been that many Negroes have secured
good places at large wages. The pack
ers have decided to employ any man
that can do the work regardless Of the
unions. Heretofore the unions have
been able to prevent Negroes becoming
butchers. They are not allowed to do
any thing out side Of their line Of
work. Still some were able to learn
enough about the work to go in at
this time and do competent work.
Some of the men get as much as $5
per day, with board.
There has been some disturbance
since the strikers realized that they
had failed, but the officers Of the law
have been firm in their enforcement
of the law.
There is some doubt as to the wis
dom of taking from the Negroes the
authority to bear arms, but if the Off
GERS can protect them and will do so
there will be no complaint-Ths Kan

The Negro is again in evidence az a

ing houses Of Illinois. Denied a right
to earn living by any than the most
menial labor, barred from the factory
and the mill by the selfish policy of
the labor unions, it is only natural
that he attempts to improve such haz-
ardous opportunities as come wit
great Industrial disturbances.
When the demands Of the regular
workman for tn, restoration Of a dis
charged fellow laborer, for higher
wages, or any one OF the thousand and

are met with a refusal, the works are

DEATH IS THE PENALTY HENRY WALKER AGAIN CON- VICTED OF MURDER. Was Charged One of the Most
 Shocking in Alabama's
 Criminal Annals.

Jasper, Feb. 19.-(Special. )--The jury in the case of Henry Walker, the negro charged with the murder of Mrs. J c. Dickinson at Cordova the night of March f, 1908, returned a verdict of guilty, fix ing the penalty at death.
 A motion was immediately made by the defense for an arrest of judgment on the ground that one of the jurors left the box and went into an adjoining room du- ring the progress of the trial. The mo- lion will be argued tomorrow or Monday at which time the date of execution will be fixed if the motion should be overruled
 The crime was one of the most shocking that ever occurred in Alabama. During night of March 4, last year, tho home of J. c. Dickinson. a prosperous merchant nf CordOva. was entered by an assassin, and while sleeping Mir. and Mrs. Dlckin- son were attacked and beaten into insen- Slbility with some blunt instrumet, pre- sumably hatchet, Mrs. Dickinson,s head being beaten into a pulp, and her skull fractured in several places, MT.

 All clews pointed to Henry Walker and he was arrested, tried and convicted and sentenced to be hanged, but the case was appealed to the Supreme Court and the Judgment reversed on technical grounds The principal testimony of the State was that of Sheriff J. 8. Moore, ). K. David son and J. B. Ellis, who gave evidence as to statements made by Mrs. Dickinson concerning the identity of her assailant, the finding of the bloody clothing and pistol Tn the house where Walker stayed. the clothing being proved to be that worn by Walker on the day previous to the tragedy, and the evidence of Little George Dickinson, ' years old. who positIve.y identified the negro us tho assailant of ius parents.
 There were some good points in the ne- gro's favor, and two witnesses were In- troduced who testified that Mrs. Dickin- son made statements different to thos made to Sheriff Moore, Mir. Davidson and MT. Ellis.
