LABOR'S ORGANIZATION
CHILD OF OPPRESSION

CHILD OF OPPRESSION
There is little Of enconium or
encouragement for organized lab
or in the daily press these days.
It is refreshing, therefore, to
receive from a newspaper Of strict
ly defined party alignment an
acknowledgment that organized
labor is rather a creature o. op-
preston than an organization or
ganized to Cypress.
The Martin County Sentinel,
published at Fairmont Mimi, of
which Frank A. Day, former Sec
rotary to the late Governor John
A. Johnson, is the publisher,
makes this frank admission, refer
ring to an excerpt from a speech
made before a men s club of Fair
mont by State Commissioner Of
Labor w. E. McEwen.
Mr.. McEven in his address
said: "Comstination of capital
has compelled the organization of
labor and without organization,
labor would be ground to atoms
Commenting on this axiom the
Sentinel editorially remarks:
"No truer words were ever
spoken. Labor simply followed
the example set by capital, not
because it wanted to, but because
of necessity. When all
is said to the contrary, the pro-
gress and attalnments Of organized
labor have been wonderful.
"The most modern of the organ
izations of capital, through it's
power and control Of the product
it manufactures, aided and allotted
by an unnecessarily high protec-
tive tariff on iron and steel and
their products, has been enabled
to relegate the law Of supply and
demand to oblivion: There is
now no competition in the iron and
steel industry. A monopoly price
is charged for everything in
that line Of activity. This is also
true of oil, the poor mans light;
OF leather, causing high prices for
shoes and harness; of wool, per-
uniting extCrtion in all kinds of
clothing; in sugar, and in almost
everything else consumed by the
people.
combinations of capital, not
satisfied with their power and
ability to stifle competition and
accept reasonable profit on the
actual money invested in their
plants, are Systematically robbing
the people by compelling consum-
ers to pay such a price as will en-
able the trusts to pay dividends
on stocks four or five times in
excess Of the actual value of their
institutions.
"The avarice and greed which
prompts over capitalization and
the robbing Of the people on one
hand, causes the lowering of wages
inflicting of unjust conditions. and
long hours of labor for the individ-
ual working man on the other.
Under present day industrial con-
ditions the working1nan is mere
cog in the wheel. Men talk of in
dustrial liberty, there can be no
such privilege in any trust con-
Germ in this country. Only by the
power of organization can labor
expect to free itself from the
thraldom into which it was cast by
the development Of modern indus

RICH ZINC BLEND

Harrison, Jan. 19.-A late report from Mount Hersey, in Newton county, indicates that one of the best mineral discoveries ever made in that county has been made on the old Granby land, at place not heretofore pros pected.
 This land has been owned by the Granby Mining Company of Joplin. Mo-, for many years and some ore has been shipped from it at different times, but owing to it's remoteness from transportation the company has not tried to do anything with it for years.
 A few months ago they leased a 4a- acre tract to a Mir. Stump, who is q conductor on the road between Mem- phis and St. Louis, and he started work at a new place on the tract and on a bench of the hill found some very nice ore.
 Tn looking over the ground he went down to ledge which outcropped Oil the hill below and there he found what he thought to be the same rock along the bluff
 He decided to have round of shots put in on the face of the bluff. which resulted in showing that the whole ledge carried good per cent of zinc blends.
 It has been uncovered for distance of 50 yards along the hillside and hroken off along the ledge for 8 dis

COMMISSIONERS GOVERN
OVER HIGHWAY BRIDGE
Jurisdiction Not in War Depart
ment, Is Opinion Of Chief
Justice Clabaugh.

What was regarded by attorneys as an
interesting and much mooted question was
today decided by Chief Justice Clabaugh
Of the Supreme Court of the District OF
Columbia He held, in the case Of Ed
ward A. Dowdey versus the Washington,
Alexandria and Mount Vernon Railway
Company, that the Commissioners Of the
District of Columbia, and not the War
Department, have jurisdiction over the
Highway bridge across the Potomac, and
have the right to make speed regulations
thereon.
Downey was trolleyman employed on
the Mount Vernon railway and was
thrown from car at the draw on the
Highway bridge. his foot being mashed
and subsequently amputated. He sued the
company, alleging that the failure OF the
motorman to stop at the draw in obedience
to orders caused his injury.
At the trial the court directed the jury
at the close of the plaintiffs evidence. tC
return a verdict in favor of the defendan,
on the ground that no negligence in law
had been shown on the part of the rail-
road company. The plaintiff filed a mo-
ton for a new trial, alleging among other
things that he should have been permit
ted to introduce in evidence at the trial
the speed regulations on the Highway
bridge made by the District Commission
ers, cOntending that the Commissioners
had jurisdiction over the bridge, instead
of the War Department.
The court granted this motion today
stating that while the matter had not been
fully brought to his attention at the trial
authorities subsequently submitted con-
WINGED him that the jurisdiction over the
bridge was vested in the District Com
missioners.
The plaintiff was represented by Attor-
neys Edmund Burke and Leo P. Harlow
and the defendant by Attorneys Douglas
Mackall and John S. Barbour.

An ENJOYABLE PLAY.

Shakespeare's Comedy of Errors was
the offering of the Ben Greet Stock
Company at the Belasco Theater last
evening, and, like some of it's predecoS-
sors. opinion was divided as to its merits
IL taken as an entirely new production,
devoid of traditions. and due allowance
be made for few unavoidable short
comings, ii was pleasing and at times
very laughahle. Those who came to
criticise and compare what they saw with
former productions of the play by great
players perhaps might not have been
so well pleased.
There is not shadow of a doubt that
the Ben Greet Players, or at least q large
majority of them, are careful, competent,
talented people, and when all things are
considered they have given some very
creditable offerings to the theatergoers
of Washington. Three and sometimes
four plays a week are a heavy strain
upon q company, no matter how ex-
fled its members may be. There were
evidences of this fact in last evening s
performance. And yet the Greet Play
ers' presentation of Shakespeare's farce
comedy. If one may be allowed the lib
erty of calling it such, was an enjoyable
performance.
The roles of the two Dromios were
taken by Maurice Greet. a nephew Of
Ben Greet. and Lionel Belmore, the new
two Antipholuses were impersonated by
j. Sayer Crawley and Charles Hopkins.
Miss Keith Wakeman appeared as the
wife Of Antipholas of Syracuse: Blanche
Tolmie as Luciano, j. s. McSevern as
Pinch, Robert Stuart Pigott as the father
of the Antipholuses and A. Hylton Allen
as the Duke Of Syracuse.
