show was parading the streets Wocher

Wocher's dog disappeared at the same

we should be able to point TO new
manufacturing city all aglow with
thrill and alive with we'll directed
effort. The inducements are here
but the workers must be induced to
come and be convinced that they are
here. The race in which we are en-
gagged is a mighty one and those who
win must keep their eyes upon the
goal and run to win.
A stranger who visited our town
recently, walking up High street,
agreed with another stranger of
whom we have before made mention,
that il was an avenue of real charm
and beauty. And that man knows
this country as few men do, for he
has travelled over its entire terri
tory and has been keeping his eyes
wide open as he has gone from place
to place But we can make this
street much more attractive. There
is room there for other trees and
other grass plots and about the
homes that dot it other and bright
er flowers may be made to bloom
and art may be made to contribute
largely to nature.
We would again emphasize the
fact that we have the best sys-
TEN of sidewalks to be found any
where in Virginia. We have en-
joyed freedom from mud during the
winter season and now that the
summer time is coming we rejoice
in the fact that they are dust-proof.
And the system as complete as it
is already is to be extended until
the comfort and convenience Will be
carried to each mans door and no
excuse will be left for not going to
church no matter what the weather
may be. As smooth as they are and
as comfortable let's see to it that
they are kept scrupulously clean.

JOHN MITCHELL
STRIKES BACK
Flags Manufacturers President
For Speech on Labor.
SAY THEY ADVOCATE VIOLENCE

Labor Leader Declares Manufacturer
Association Pirate About Law and
Order and Advocate Anarchy and
Suggest the Cannon to Dispense
Workinemen.
New York, May 26.-The recent ar
raignment of organized labor made
here in the course of his speech of &C
ceptance by John Kirby, of Dayton.
o.. the newly elected president of the
National Association OF Manufactur-
ers, is made the subject OF a condem-
natory article by John Mitchell, former
president of the United Mine Work
ers of America. published in the cur
rent issue of the National Civic Fed
Grafton Review.
Mr.. Mitchell quotes Mr.. Kirby as
saying that he had been elected to the
presidency of the National Associa-
ton of Manufacturers, not on account
of his ability or on account of his
national reputation. but because the
members OF the association knew
where he stood on the labor ques-
ton
From this parallel Mr.. Mitchell de-
duces that "the only truthful and sane
declaration made by the newly chosen
spokesman of the National Associa-
ton of Manufacturers is. that in which
he says: L have not been elected as
your president on account of my abil-
ity.'"
"Paradoxical as IT may appear"
concludes Mr. Mitchell. the represent
tatives of this employers association
in one breath decry and denounce
what they term class divisions and
class hatreds. and in the next breath
malign and berate their fellow citizens
who are workngmen. and all other
groups in society in sympathy with
the legitimate purposes and high
ideals of the labor movement They
claim and proclaim the right and ne
cessity of organization among en-
plOyors yet deny to wOrkingmen the
right of organization and combina-
ton. They pirate about law and order,
yet advocate violence and anarchy:
they suggest the use of the cannon as
means Of dispensing the working
men; they mailgn and traduce the
great majority of the employers Of
labor who refuse to Join them I'm car
rying forward their unhOly and I'M
American designs 10 destroy the or
ganized labor movement; and to cap
the climax of their Inconsistency they
impugn the motives and question the
intelligence Of the religious, educa-
tional and philanthropic institutions of
orr country simply because these in
stitutions have opened their doors to
the organized labor movement and
have listened respectfully to the
claims made in behalf of the working
men and women whose brain and
Drawn have contributed in no small
degree 10 the commercial. Intellectual
and moral supremacy of the nation.
How much better would it be for
themselves. how much more would il
contribute to the honor and glory Of
our common country if these gentle
men Of the National Association of
Manufacturers would examine with
open minds and intelligent discern
ment the real purpose policy and
of the American labor
