AMERICAN INDUSTRIES.


! The absolute rs a.. ,Aslty of abolishing
| the boycott anu ,-s blacklist by ma
tional and Sta,e ehactments was very
iorcibly outlined by President James
w. Van Cleave at the annual conven-
ton of the Citizens Industrial Asso-
citation at Battle Creek, Michigan.
Mr.. Van Cleve, who represents the
most important manufacturers asso-
citation in the world, believes that all
labor union attacks on the freedom
and the equality and the operation
OF the injunctions must be repealed
and that the records of congressman
and State Legislators on Industrial is
sues must be closely watched He
goes even further and says that it is
vitality necessary to. nominate and
elect, regardless of politics, men who
legislate for the entire American peo-
pie. instead of for the interest or
imaginary interest OF any special Class
of the people.
In his address President Van Cleve
made the first authoritative reply to
the accusation that federation of
employers has been created to crush
labor unions.
is further from the purpose or the
thoughts of the members of the fed
Grafton
Speaking for himself he said that
il many addresses and newspaper and
magazine articles in the past few
years he had insisted that workers
had just as good a right and just as
large an incentive to organize as have
employers. Mr.. Van Cleve added:
I'm every way any sucn service could
be rendered, employers and citizens
associations of all sorts should encour-
age the members of the labor societies
who are endeavoring to be true to the
principles on which their organiza
tons were founded The Missionaries,
the ignoramuses and the grafters who
are in positions of power in many of
the unions are the persons who are
primarily responsible for the abuses
which have afflicted unionism in re-
cent years.
Every member of union who is
trying to cast off the yoke of officers
who discredit his society and disturb
trade should receive the encourage
ment of the community"
An immediate and important conse-
quence of the reformation of the labor
unions would be collective bargaining.
Contracts would be safe between en-
ployers or organizations of employers
on the one hand and organizations OF
workers on the other in which wages,
hours and other details of labor could
be fixed for term of years in advance
During the time covered by the con-
tracts this would diminish the pretext
for agitation among the restless spir-
its in the unions, would give employ
ers a chance to plan work for few
years ahead, and would give conf
dence and stability to the business
world which are lacking now.

HOPE HE WILL LAND.

The many friends of A. B. Hammond,
of the enterprising firm of Hammond
& Co., are urging his appointment
for the position of Inspector and Ex-
aminer. Mr.. H. is one of the best book
keepers in the State, and is well quail
fed for the place. He is one of the old
line Republicans and was one of the
first to urge the nomination of Mr..
Wilson for Governor.

that he would. But on election day
he locked his door, absented himself
and voters who applied to get the GER

Office does not seem to have impress

ISSUE
INMURRAY Is cow
LAW REVOCATION

The repeal of the ordinance pro-
hibtlng the town COW from running
at large is the issue that is para
mount at Murray this year and state
and national politics have been lost
sight OF by the citizens of that place
so tense is the interest in that ques-
tion. A mass meeting will be held
Friday night to selec: Democratic
nominees for the council. which is to
be elected in November and then the.
real strength of those, who favor the
repeal VI the COW law will be shown.
Those who are opposed to the law are
claiming that they win show a ma
jority of over three to one and say
that there Is no doubt that a council
will be elected that will repeal the
law at the first meeting held after 1t
is organized into office. In the mean
time the other side Is busy, although
they are not talking loud. 1t is said
that the present council passed the
COW law on the quiet and few of the
citizens of the town were aware that
such a step as contemplated until
after the measure had been published
and was a law. Mr.. Z. c. X. Robert
son, a prominent business man of
Murray, was here today and stated
that In his opinion there is no doubt
that the measure will be repealed. MI d.
Robertson said that while the coun-
ell was considering the passage of
the law he offered to pay the ex-
penses of an election to take a vote
of the people on the law, but the
council refused TO entertain the prop
osition.

In his letter Mr.. Harahan denies

accounts as charged by Mr.. Fish, Re
garding the alleged loan Mr.. Fish
made to himself, Mr.. Harahan pur-
sues: "Mr. Fish. being unable to re-
pay the loan. or TO satisfactorily Sc
cure It. there were various consulta-
lions among his friends on the board
Of directors. After It was demonstrate
ed that Mr. Fish was unable to reim-
bulse the company, a director indl-
yidually loaned him the money nee.
essary to repay the company. In or

small hose nearby, poured water on
the flames and soon had them out.
