A BUsHWHACKER OR A SOLDIER;
WHICH?


those Republicans who wanted to
build up the party that the so-ealled
leaders were trying to lead In the
other direction. 1t has also been
clear for some time that the Demo-
cratic State machine and the Repub-
Iican State machine were in perfect
harmony on this point. There have.
however, been many good Republi-
cans who have been slow in the face
of many glazing facts to believe that
the Republican machine could be
guilty of such base treachery to their
party; but that such is the fact. is
now becoming so plain that it is not
only common knowledge, but COM
mon talk.
The Washington correspondent of
the Charlotte Observer In a recent
letter to that paper reviewing the Do
itical situation in the State. closes
with the following significant state
melt:
THE next Republican State
Convention will be worth whiIe
Democrats and organization Re-
publicans are for Duncan this
year, but there is an angry howl
in the woods"
The angry howl in the woods" Is
the indignant protest of the great
honest rank and file of the party
against such false and incompetent
leadership. Therefore, the question
that is now squarely at issue to be
determined within the next few
months is. VIII the next Republican
State Convention go Democratic. as
1t will If the patronage machine con-
trolls it? Or, will it declare souarely
for a progressive policy that will lead
to victory and put men in charge of
the party who not only desire victory
but who have the character and ca
pacity to lead the party to success?
In this connection, the following
editorial clipped from the Western
Carolina Enterprise is significant and
to the point:
The GaZette-News and the
News and Observer have it that
the recent appointments indi-
cate that there will be a political
dictator and that Republicans
will bend the knee. Wait and
see, gentlemen. The real Doc
tor is back in the. townships,
and he is not asking for Office.
You'll hear his voice during the
stirring days of the immediate
future. The ranks and file is
the Doctor and he knows how
to distinguish between those who
are in the game for selfish pur-
poses and those who want to
make more Republicans. He
also knows bushwhacker from
soldier who is fighting under
flying colors"
AS the Enterprise so we'll says, the
party has already been doctored too
much by false doctors, and that the
rank and file of the Republican party
have now determined to become their
own doctors. He also says truly and
well that the sincere patriotic Re-
publican knows the difference be-
tween "bushwhacker" and a sol
der"
II the people will only rally and
send their truest and best men to the
next Republican State Convention,
then the leadership of bushwhackers
Will be put at an end and the party
Will march to victory under the lead
ersh1p of the real soldier.

pair, and each operator owns his
own tools and supplies. the same as
a carpenter, a painter or a cigar
maker. The factory deliveries the
raw material and the workmen re-
turn the finished product.
The Material.
The lower floor is occupied by the
huge watts or tanks, in which the
shells are soaked in water for a re-
quired length of time before going to
the cutting machine. The shells are
delivered at the factory into huge
storage sheds, erected on the south
of the building. They are taken
from these bins and sorted by
mechanical means into several
grades, according to thickness and
size. After laying fer a required
time in the water they are weighed
out to the men; the blanks cut are
weighed back and the operators are
given credit for the returned product.
SO many pounds of shells should
yield corresponding weight Of
blanks and the management is we'll
informed as to how many blanks
should come from a given weight of
certain kind of shells. There are
many species of shells, some large
and some small, some pink, others
white and purple, some thick and
some others thin, and so on. The
men have names for the shells and
they will tell you that a man can get
more blanks out of a wash board"
than from a Niger head" but the

the blanks have been cut are hauled
away to a dump heap, where they
will accumulate. When the pile be
comes sufficiently large, a crushing
apparatus will be installed and the
shells made into grit feed for fowls.
For the present nothing but the
blank buttons will be made at the
shipped to Muscatine for finishing,
carding and making ready for the
market. 1t is possible that the Os-
kalOosa factory will be developed
into a larger factory later on as the
business grows and the field for the
raw material is developed and
then the finishing will also be done
here and the demand for labor eX-
tended.
The Workers.
c. II. Below has come to OSkalOOsa
to be manager of the factory and
just now he is a busy man getting
the machines installed and ready for
the operators. Peter Dove has &C
cepted the position as foreman of the
shop. He is an experienced man
and just now he is school master,
giving instruction in the operation of
the machines and the handling of the
shens. He will nave mis- men well
lined up within a few weeks and they
will have a great game going from
morning till night seeing who can
turn out the most Dianks.
The factory is electrically oper-
ated, a twenty-horse power motor
being stationed on the first floor for
The Oskaloosa herald., 1910-12-15

the turning of the shafting.
The building is made for the pur-
pose of handling the work to the best
advantage and Mr.. Below has no
fault to find with it. His Office is on
the second floor in the southeast cor
ner. Opposite his apartments are
the stock and tool rooms and toilet
rooms of the Office force. A large
toilet room, with all conveniences is
provided for the working force on
the same floor on which they work.
They lose no time unnecessarily from
their machines. The building is
heated by means of two great Mar
vel Furnaces" made in OskalOOsa,
and will be comfortable both on first
and second floors.
What Mr.. Below most desires now
is men, married men, as the factory
force is to be installed in the short
est possible time. The factory will
result in many new families coming
to Oskaloosa, as it is developed and
working to capacity will furnish en-
ploymcnt to about 200 men inside

niger head" blanks are harder to
cut. The factory now has an i'm
mense pile of shells on hand and
with a number of car loads of mater
ial now en- route there will be
enough material on hand to run the
factory all winter. The product of
the local streams will be used at the
factory later on and the shells will
be bought wherever they can be
found. AS yet none of the product of
local streams have been offered.
The Work.
The saws that cut the blanks are of
different sizes, of course, to make
the different blanks. The operator
handles the shell in pair of tongs
made for the purpose. He holds the
shell in one hand and operates his
machine with the other, pushing the
shell against the saw by means of
a lathe-like gear. The cut blanks
follow the inside of the saw and
drop into a waiting receptacle. A
couple of tiny jets OF water play
constantly on the saw and against
the shell. This vets the dust that
results from the cutting and carries
it into pans and refuse folders just
beneath the cutting apparatus. The
waste water follows a drainage pipe
into a large tank in the basement,
where the gathered dust settles and
accumulates and only the unburden-
ed water flows out into the sewer.
The receiving tank is dumped as
soon as it becomes heavy with the
sediment. The shells from which
The Oskaloosa herald., 1910-12-15

however, have signified their inten-
ton of applying for work as soon
as the factory is in operation. The
work is light and pleasant and an
operator may become skillful and
rapid in the handling of the shells
The limit of wages a man will draw
is measured only by his ability to
cut out the blanks. Application and
concentration counts the same as in
other work and the Industrious and
constant man is the one who draws
the biggest check. As soon as the fac
tory is in full operation wages will
be paid weekly, on Saturdays.
The Machines.
The cutting machines are located
on the second floor of the building,
a large, light room, with windows
on all sides and sky lights in addi-
ton. Light is necessary for the bust
ness and plenty of it. When daylight
fails the factory is electrically light
ed, each operator having a large
lamp over his machine. The light is
adjustable and may be moved in any
direction at the will OF the operator.
The machines now in operation oc-
cupy the SCUM half of this. large
room. The first machines to be oper-
ated are over a central line of shaft
ing, with pulleys to give the different
speeds required. Twenty men on one
side of the line of machines face
twenty more operators. The men
stand as close to each other along
the line as they can conveniently
work. Each man is responsible for

ed.
The opening of the factory is the
same as the Inauguration of any 9TH
er new business. Everything is new
and stiff, the workmen green, mex
perienced and awkward, the machin-
have not been limbered up and tools
are all new. Several weeks will be
required to get the machinery start

not difficult and a green hand soon

another bunch is taken in hand and

in the work as rapidly as possible
to handle them, the married men
and men with families first, and then
others. Forty machines are now
equipped and ready to be operated.
Thirty-five more are being set up
and will be in readiness for the
workers by the time workmen have
been taught for the forty machines
in the first line. Only fifty-fve men
thus far have applied at the factory
for work-that is, fifty-five have sign
