THE NEEDS OF LABOR
DIscUssED By SAMUEL aoMPERs
ON RETURN FROM WEST.

After an extended trip through the middle
west. Mr.. Samuel Gompers, president of
the american Federation OF Labor. return
ed to this city last evening. When seen by
Star reporter today he said several things
in reference to Industrial conditions While
In Cleveland he addressed the convention Of
the Amalgamated Window Glass Workers
Of America. and the International Stove
Mounters' Union.
Mr.. Gompers believes Congress should
1t should have passed the anti-injunction
BILL
The daily press continually prints arti-
cles stating that labor is scarce In the coun-
try" he said THAT is not so. There Is
plenty OF labor. and good. honest American
labor at that. Such statements are merely
the excuse of the manufacturers for Con-
gress that is too weak to enact proper i'm
migration laws.
Complaint Of Farmers.
'"rhe farmers complain that they not
secure laborers for the west. 1t Is no Won
der. Men are not anxious to go in the coun-
try for few months work at low wages.
My advice to the workingman is, Be har-
monious and fair Transact business in
open convention, not in caucus. Never
again make it necessary to resort to COM
binations to secure the legislation you
want. Never again permit a locality to wag
the whole machine.
Every improvement that has come to
the life of the workingman he has had to
fight for. The good things have never been
brought to him silver platter. There
are more good things waiting for him If he
will contend with all his organized strength
against governmental tyranny and judicial
usurpation.

HATERWORKS.

Probably MONDAY creek, some ten or
twelve miles distant, near which the
Louisville & Nashville railroad passes,
offers the best conditions available for
waterworks. l understand that this
stream has no other streams flowing
into it which are corrupted by the
garbage and filth of Marietta, and is
besides of such great volume that it
will be sufficient for years to come to
meet every demand of our city.
A site on the Louisville & Nashville.
or elsewhere, and the buildings thereon
should have reference to the erection
in CONJUNCTION with the waterworks of
an electric light plant, should the city
at any tim decide to own this utility
1t may not be, probably will not be,
necessary for all the houses now within
the corporate limits to have sanitary
connections, and therefore the owners
OF such houses will not be required to
use the public water unless they see fit
to do so. Away from populous centers,
where places Of necessity and stables
are far from wells, both of the owner
and his neighbor, such connections
might be unnecessary. Much of the
territory recently brought within our
city limits would come under these
conditions.
In conclusion, beg you to think,
friends, of that estimable Christian
lady, and of that bright young girl, just
budding into womanhood, and the
promising young man, (besides others
of an earlier date,) who, within very
short time, have yielded up their lives
to that awful disease typhoid fever,
because, possibly, of want of proper
precaution to prevent it. They call to
you from the tomb in solemn tones, to
delay no longer. Ask yourselves,
What are we to do about it? For
heavens sake, do something for af-
fairs, from the standpoint of health and
progress, cannot remain in statu quo.

Sensible Advice.

About the most sensible piece
of practicable advice we have
seen lately is the following from
the Jennings Times-Record of a
recent date, which would fit oul
parish also to ct" by substitu-
ting "cotton" for "rice:''
We farmers meet annually and
exchange views and get lots of
good advice, ETC.. and then go
home and carry on the same old
game in the same old way. Now
for instance my idea Of II model
farm for S. ". La. would he to
divide each farm in two equal
parts and farm one half in rice
and one half in truck, corn, oats,
melons, sweet and Irish potatoes
and pasture. Take AZ II basis Il
farm Of 100 acres; let 80 acres
he planted in rice, the balance
in diversified c,ops and pasture
in such proportions rs he time
and inclination of The owner
allow. Then put in a pumping
plant capable of irrigating the
entire 100 and devote its entire
energy to the so acres In this
way Il man could push his work
and crop instead Of being pushed
thereby. After two rice crops
have been raised on the first 80
then alternate and pasture and
truck The second 80 in rice for
two years, then alternate again.
In this way, if care is taken 10
select seed full crops of seed RICE
could be raised every year and
the land could not get red wheth-
er the red comes from planting
red seed or from deterioration of
white rice from continuous plant
ing.
This plan would make our rice
farmers practically independent
of the feed and grocery merchant
and would 60 long way toward
relieving the bugbear of over
production, but | don't expect
to see this idea generally adopted.
On the contrary it seems as
though we start out each season
determined to raise a great big
crop to retire with a fortune, so
we plant about twice as much as
we can properly handle and water
with the inevitable result that we
get one half a crop of inferior rice
and our retirement with a for
tune is indefinitely postponed.
