The w. L. Douglas Shoe Com
pany Does Net Use the Union
Stamps Letter from General
President TobIn.

10 who 1t may cOnceTiI:--
So many misleading articles have
appeared in the public press with
reference to the Douglas contrO-
Versy. we issue this brief and ac-
curate statement OF facts:
In January 1905 the the Doug.
las Company transferred - cases
600 pairs per pay of $500 shoes
from their No. / to their No :.
factory and expressed their will
1ngueSS to accept inferior work,
for which they would pay the
same wages as paid on their y; 90
shoes.
In jane, 1905, they had in
creased the $50 shoes 50 transfer
red to $500 pairs per day. These
shoes were then transferred back
to the original No. factory. at
which time the wages on their;
entire $50 product. amounting to
between 5000 per day. were placed
under this No. > or reduced scale
or wages, thus enabling Il CON
dltlO1 wherein no transfer had ia
ken place. which ,lustiiieS us in the
conclusion that the transfer Of
shoes was for the purpose Of Sc
curing reduced labor cost. con
1rary TO the arbitration method in
vogue between the Douglas Com.
pany and the Boot and Shoe
Workers Union for the previous
nine years.
We contend that this method Of
securing reduced wages was ipcou-
Sistent with collective harp,ininr
ana we assert, contrary to our
strbltratlon contract with company.
Inc company. sustained by the
massachusetts state Board OF Ar.
bltratlon. both in their right ia

'oSt. we exercised our legal and

the decisions OF the Stltc Board Of

WE'D, APRIL 8, 1908.

Again we call attention of
Democrats to an amendment to
our party laws that should be
made when we meet in State
Convention. Some steps should
be taken to prevent the building
of political machine, and to our
mind the remedyslies in the res
olution offered in last weeks issue
of the News, together with the
requirements that no exception
be made for cities. The law that
CONTROLS the country Democrats
ought to control those of the
cities. No man should hold a
position in the control of our par
ty when seeking Office or after
he has accepted valuable favors
in appointments by officials.
The appointment by an official is
evidence not only Of friendship,
but of political attachment, and
TO do the fair, square thing in
every instance, every member of
our committees should be free
and independent. Free the COM
mittees from influences tending
to advance personal interests,
keep them free and make our
laws apply with equal force in
every nook and corner Of the
State, and we will soon be run
ming smoothly. There is no rea-
son why the State Central Com
mittee should select the city and
county committees of Jefferson
county.

CITY ESCAPES
COUNTY TAXES
Court Holds That WeIdin
Reservoir Tract is
Exempt

Judge Spruance, in Superior Court
this morning. decided the case stated
of James p. Megilligan Va. Mayor and
Council against Megilligan.
Megilligan. who is tax collector for
lBrandywine hundred, brought the suit
TO force the city to pay SAYS county
tax on the Weldin reservoir tract
there. The case was ably argued by
Hugh NJ Morris for the county and
Reuben Satterthwaite for the city, Mr..
Morris contending that the property
was subject 10 taxation inasmuch as
like real estate Is not specifically mem
toned in an act OF the Legislature ex-
empting certain property from tax
alton. Mr.. Satterthwalte. on the other
hand. argued that the property, being
used for general public purposes was
exempt from taxation by implication.
The court agreed with him. The opin-
ion Of the court as announced this
morning was verbal A written opin-
ion will be issued at the next term OF
court.
