WONT EMPLOY LATINS
SIG MANUFACTURERS WANT
Notwithstanding MEN.
Thirty Years Of Experimenting With
One Class Of Foreign Laborers
Proves Their rnefhciency.

After thirty years Of experimenting
with Latins as laborers. big manueac-
turers have inaiiy decided they are
a failure. AS fast as possible they
will be displaced by Englishspeaking
laborers. even at higher wages. The
change will work a revolution and
cannot be made at ooce. but 1t is
bound to come soner or iates.
Already 100000 foreigners have
been laid OF by the United States
Steel Corporation and other great In
dustries OF these. thousands have
left for Ell. ope, never TO seturn. The
Others viii have to accept labor OF the
lowest and hardest lind to earn q
livelihood.
Reasons for the displacement OF
the foreign laborers are few, but
they are such as to demand considesa-
ton and action By the great manufac-
turing concerns. Latins, as labtrers,
don't pay. Few of them have fntellf-
gcnce enough to perform even the
simplest kind Of labor. An English
speaking workman. even at an In
crease IN wages of IS cents or more
pes day. is cheaper Another reason
is that the Latins have too many hol.
days. III addition to Sundays and the
holidays observed by the Americans.
the calendar OF the Magyar contains
rs feast days. These are all occa-
sions OF rejoicing when no work is
done
Sometimes the feast is kept up sew
era days or until the police break in
and raid the place where ii is being
celebrated. While these feats are be-
ing observed, great industrial plants
suffer, because labor is scarce. 1t Ia
a plain business proposition with the
manufacturers and in these days
when big corporations, are watching
'evesy dollar and guarding against
any getting away. so that dividends
can be increased. the inferior work
man must give place to the one with
superior knowledge.

MANY WITNESSED
 TRACTION ENGINE
Large Crowd of Interested Parties Went Out on the New Macada Road Yesterday to See the Big Traction Engine Carry
 Rock.

Nearly three hundred interested persons saw the trial run of the biz traction engine, which was brought to this county recently by its manu- facturers to show the rapid method of moving rock, when it was placed in operation for the first time yester- day afternoon on the new macadam road, which is being built by County Judge Gould from the head of Main street to a point twelve miles south of this city on the Pine Bluff, Star City and Cornersville road. The demonstration was a big success and the engine worked admirably. It is operated by steam and draws large carts of rock over the toughest parts of the road.
 Among those present at the exhi- bition were several wealthy out of town road enthusiasts. County Judge Gould, Mayor w. L. Toney and many other local city and county officials were also on hand. Two miles of the macadam road have already been completed. Nine more miles are to be built. The work is progressing nicely. The engine is valued at $3,- 500 and may be purchased by the county.
