WOULD MEAN ADDED
EVENT OF INTEREST.
Also, Would Bring One Hun
dred Representative Men of
District to City-Arrange-
ments for Agricultural Day.

AS further indication of flattering
prospects for the Fall Festival, it is
probable the postmasters of the Sixth
district will agree to hold their con-
vention here at that time. At pres
ent the convention is set for October
IA, but upon the request of Postmaster
Spekenhier, who will act as host on
the occasion, it is more than likely the
other officials will agree to an earlier
date This will give the postmasters
an opportunity to see this city, when
it is in gala attire and at the same
time will provide an additional attrac-
tion for the festival. There are JOG
postmasters in the district.
The executive committee has under
taken to provide an event for this city
under the auspices of the Young Mems
Business club that will surpass any
thing of the kind ever attempted To-
cally. The organization has been
promised the assistance of other soci-
cites and the business men and gener-
al public will lend support, as the fes.
tival will bring thousands of visitors
from out of the city to Richmond
Many of these visitors will not only
come to see, but come to make pur-
chases as we'll, and as it will be at the
opening of the season for fall trade
merchants can expect reimbursement
for whatever outlay they make to as
sist.
The agricultural exhibit will be one
of the most prominent features. To
give agricultural day. good mo-
mentum at the start, Secretary Harris
of the Y M. B. c., has written the fol
lowing letter to the civic organizations
of the city:
Gentlemen-The products of the ag
ricultural districts surrounding the
city of Richmond and the manufactur
ing products of the city have never
been exhibited to any extent, cOnse
quently there are very few people who

In order that the country people may
be brought in closer touch with the
town people and become familiarizet
with each others products, the Young
Mems Business club are arranging ex
hibftions and a program under the
name Fall Festival" to be held the
first part of October.
To accomplish this end most effect
lively the affair must represent the
concerted effort of the citizens of Rich
mond. The Festival is not a one clut
affair, but is intended that every cit
izen join in the work and help pusf
Richmond on to the next notch above
her sister cities. We therefore bring
this matter to your attention and ash
your cooperation.
Suggestions from your organization
will be very acceptable. Very re-

drove this point home by declaring
that when Democratic House sue

AN INSURANCE MAP
One in Preparation for Use
Of the Companies of
This City.
INCLUDES MANY DETAILS.

The Sanford Map company has two
representatives in the city preparing
drawings by which new map of the
city will be made for insurance pur-
poses. The men take all details of
the buildings, such as the size, con-
struction, location, distance from
water mains and fire plugs, fire alarm
boxes, elevation of the ground, and
various other details that are essen
tial to the fire insurance men. The
new map will also have a report of the
water works system. The work was
started in June and it is believed that
the work will be completed by No
vember. The map will be published in
February and the local insurance
agencies will receive copies imme-
diately and the rate board of the diff
ferent companies will receive a
copy. The maps will give everything
that is necessary to the insurance
companies in fixing the rate on differ
ent properties.

Prosecutor Jessup has been informed

DIXON ON SOCIALISM.
Delivered Clear, Logical and Forceful
Argument on Subject.

If the artificial concentration of cap
ital cannot be restrained the end of it
all will be socialism. And that will
be the deadliest blight that has ever
befallen mankind. Some capitalists
and financiers are the arch-criminals
of civilization, the mad-dogs of soci-
ETY.. And they control vast millions.
These men have caused the socialistic
propaganda. The socialist would tear
them out of society as he would tear
a snake from the grass. But the So
cialist is wrong. His methods are
wrong and he has in some way bung-
led his facts. The capitals is a ne
cessity to society. His wealth is the
life-blood of the nation.
The capitalist and the socialist are
at the opposite ends of society; as far
apart as the poles of the earth, yet
they are both working toward the
same end, the concentration of wealth.
The triumph of either would mean the
destruction of the individual and the
death knell to progress
Such are typical paragraphs from
Frank Dixon's lecture, The Man
Against the Mass" delivered at the
chautauqua grounds last evening.
Mr. Dixon is strong. resourceful, in
dividual, himself the best exponent of
the doctrine which he so powerfully
defends. Born in tt old South
where the individual spirit runs high,
impatient of restraint, he has come
forth to combat socialism which he de-
scribes as the coming cloud upon the
horizon.
Mr.. Dixon declared socialism is not
demand for the seizure of property
and the distribution of wealth. but a
movement TO place all business enter
prizes in the hands of the government
Socialism and anarchism have nothing
in common. though the end sought by
both is equality. Anarchism upholds
the individual at the sacrifice of gov

MINERS WON OUT
IN THEIR STRIKE
TWo-thirds of Those in Bitum-
inous Fields Went to
Work Today.
OPERATORS SURRENDERED.
BREAK CAME IN THEIR RANKS
YESTERDAY AND CHECk-OFF
SYSTEM WILL BE IN FORCE IN
THE FUTURE. i-~..---

Terre Haute, Ind, Aug. 22.-With a
complete victory for the miners, the
strike which has been keeping the
mines in the bituminous coal field idle
for several days was practically
brought to close yesterday by the
announcement of several operators
that they would allow the check off
as the Vandalia Coal Company has al.
ready done. AS result of this decis'
ion it is expected all the rest of the
mines in District Number Eleven will
be heard from today to the same effect
and that by Monday every shaft in the
bituminous field will be in operation
The first inEling the miners had
that the operators were weakening
was at about 10 o'clock yesterday
morning, when message reached
Terre Haute from some of the miners
employed by the Clinton Coal Com,
pany stating that notices had been
posted announcing The check off would
be allowed.
Few Will Hold Out.
Cali right, go to work." was the re-
ply of \Desident Van Horn. From
that time on the calls came thick and
fast and by the time the office closed
a number of other mines had declared
their position. With this before them
the few remaining mines in the dis
trict will not hold out longer, it is
stated.
Among the principal mines which
agreed to allow the check-off were the
Mildred, Caledonia and Forest Park
shafts of the Consolidated Indiana
Coal Company, the six mines of the
Deering Coal Company at Clinton and
Crown Hill mines Nos. 1, and 8, be
longing to the Clinton Coal Company
Hugh Shirley, vice president of the
Bituminous Operators Association, is
one of the stockholders of the Deerins
mines. The resumption of operations
at the mines named means the EN-
ployment of about 1000 men, which
means that two-thirds of the miners
who were working in the district were
at work today.
