WRECK ON SEABoARD AIR LINE
over Twenty Passengers, Mostly Ne
ErOes, KILLED in Collision
Near Hamlet, n. c.

CHARLOTTE, N. c., July Elm one of
the worst railroad casualties in the history
of this section. about twenty people were
killed and more than that number injured
as the result of a head-on collision between
a through esstbound passenger train and
an extra freight near Rockingham, n. c.,
four miles west of Hamlet, at $50 O'Clock
this evening. Manyrof the victims are said
to be negroes.
Up to midnight the oficial reports to the
general offices of the Seaboard Air Line
showed that nineteen dead bodies and
twenty-three injured had already been
taken out of the wreck. Ofhcials OF the
company say they cannot 'tell as yet the
exact extent of the disaster. but express
the opinion that the casualties will not
reach much beyond the figures already
given. The officials OF the road attribute
the disaster to the failure of the telegraph
operator at Rockingham to- deliver orders
to the passenger train. As soon as the
news OF the wreck reached Hamlet a
wrecking engine was sent out and the di-
vision superintendent and other officials OF
the road hurried to the scene and took
charge OF the work of relief. Advices from
the wreck are meagre.
The passenger train was No a. running
from Florida TO the north. Engineer F. B.
Lewis of Hamlet and Fireman Thomas Hill
OF the passenger train were killed. The
negro fireman of the freight is also said
to have been killed, while the engineer of
the freight saved himself by jumping. Only
a few OF the bodies extrlcated from the
wreck have been identified.
Both trains were practically destroyed
and the wreck blocked the track.
In addition to the three trainmen al
ready mentioned among the dead, Baggage
master II. s. Bird also was killed. Rail-
road men, citizens and the passengers who
escaped injury Immediately set to work
to recover the dead and injured imprisoned
in the wreckage, nearly all of these vic
Tins were found to be negroes.
There are five whites and eighteen col
ored in the list of injured and these will
be distributed among the Charlotte hos
pitfalls. The special will reach Charlotte
about 8 a. m.

LABOR UNIONS IN POLITICS
Executive Council of the American
Federation Issues Its CAM
paign Program.

WASHINGTON. d. c., July 22.-The
executive council Of the American Fedora
tion of Labor today made good its deci-
sion Of several months ago to enter the
field OF politics in the interest Of trade
union movement and TO exhort all mem
bers and friends OF orga nized labor TO work
for the election to political Office OF men
known to be favorable TO labor's cause.
From the headquarters OF the federation
the council today issued its campaign pro-
gram addressed Ito all organized labor
and friends in the United States" II sets
out that the union movement has kept and
proposes to keep pace with the rapid
change in Industrial affairs. and that the
working people cannot hope to maintain
their rights or a progressive position in the
varying phases Of modern society unless
they organize, exercise all those functions
which, as worklngmen and citizens, it is
their privilege and their duty TO exercise.
II is declared that labor makes no demand
upon government or society which is not
equally accorded to all the people of this
country, and that 1T can and will be salts
fed with nothing less"
The proposed campaign is based upon the
allegation that little attention has been
paid to the enactment Of laws prepared by
organized labor and presented to congress
for the relief OF those wrongs and the at
tainment OF those rights to which labor
and the common people are justly entitled
and which are essentially necessary for
their welfare"
The council issues a word of caution that
the movement must not degenerate into a
scramble for office, but 1T should be a
determined effort, free, absolutely, from
partsanship of every name and character
to secure the legislation we deem necessary
and essential to the welfare and happiness
of all our people"
1t is expressly stated that where a con-
gresham or state legislator has proven
himself a true friend to the rights OF
labor he should be supported and no can
didate nominated against him"
