VOLUNTEER DAY

The men of Big Stone Gap /
proved that the age of chivalry
IL not passed, for in response To
the appeal made by the ladies
of the Civic League, offices,
stores and workrOOms were
practically deserted last Friday
afternoon, and visitors in town
stopped to watch the unusual
sight, az banker, author, law
yer, engineer, preacher, merch-
ant and day labOrers were seen
working with equal vlgor to
clean up the town. In IA short
time even strangers caught the
spirit of the day and were
busily engaged in rakinR up
and burning debris, loading
wagons, pruning trees, grub
hing out paw paw bushes, or
cleaning cutters. That the
work was both necessary and
effective is proven by the great
improvement in the appearance
of the town. On all sides one
hears words of commentator

women and the cheerful co

SIRlk INSURANCE / IS )
POPULAR IN GERMANY.

.s=s* BERLIN. May 10. The astuteness:
Iofs.:ithe German ma nufacturer is we'll:
Illustrated by tie manner in which
he has enthusiastically welcomed the
proposition made by certain societies
that shesshould insure against strikes
During the last three years many
strike insurance companies have
sprung UP in different parts of the
fatherland, and they embrace prac-
tically all industries. In thirteen Of
these. societies are insured manufac-.
turers employing altogether about
100000 men, l.I.A -: r.
In add 1tion,M there are some TWEEN
ty-six employers unions, which have
regular. system of strike insurance.,
paying compensation at fixed rates,
and yet nine more unions which pay
compensation according to the merits
of the case, but without a. fixed rate.
The tendency in some quarters is
to regard this development as merely
a news1weapon in class warfare, anal
agous to the strike funds of trades
Unions, but it is more generally adj.
m1tted that it is really In the inter-
est of employed as well as employers
that, industrial, undertaking should
be secured against unexpected losses
from strikes as from other contin-
gencies, and the fact that strike In
surance societies do not pay COM
rensation where the employers have
been guilty of forcing on strike
unjustly~ prevents the institution
being abused by provocative minded
employers. :.
Indeed, the employer must estab-
lish the fact that he is not respon-
sible for the strike or lockout. The
rules. of the various societies differ
somewhat. Some pay compensation
from the day of the outbreak of the
strike, others from the day it Is first
formally reported to them, others
only after it has lasted a week. The
length of the strike also comes into
account Some societies do not pay
any compensation for a strike of: less
than four days DURATION; others con-
slider that a strike is no strike until
it has lasted a fortnight. A further
regulation Is laid upon the. maximum
length Of the strikes, the biggest So
cieties refusing to pay compensation

SPEAKERS OF THE DAY.
Large Crowd Attended Tree Planting
Was the Order Of the Day In the
Afternoon.

its present high state of efficiency.
He concluded by asking that the elm
tree in what will be the front lawn,
the only tree growing upon the lot,
be named Council Elm" in honor of
the City Council that gave the lot to
the City School Board, at a cost of
nearly $4,000.
County Attorney Jno. C. Duffy
spoke in behalf Of the county, prais.
ing the excellent management of the
schools, predicting a bright future
for the proposed high school and
congratulating the people upon the
bond of union that would cement
the city and county for all time to
come.
MIR. Alvin Clark, the young attor-
ney, whose father was an early
friend of tie schools and whose
mother is now one Of its teachers,
spoke on behalf of the alumni. MIR.
Clark is one Of the brightest young
men the school has turned out and
his remarks were received with ap.
plause.
After q closing song the big crowd
was dismissed shortly after twelve
O'Clock. In the afternoon the trees
were set out, the holes for them
having been prepared in advance,
a number of the county schools
brought trees of their own to plant,
though the school board had ordered
100 nursery stock of several varie-
ties of shade trees.
One of the features Of the parade
was that all of the employees of the
Forbes Manufacturing Co. headed
by Mr.. M. c. Forbes himself, march
ed in a body, each of the 300 men
carrying q flag. Many business
houses practically closed to let their
employees go.
Several little children became
prostrated from heat during the ex-
ercises. but they were promptly
cared for and taken to their homes
in automobiles. and seen revived.
T. L. Metcalf, the florist, as usual
did the handsome thing, and pre-
sented 1900 carnations to the school
children, of his finest flowers worth
rs cents a dozen. They were worn
by the children in the parade.
