FOUL BLOWS AT LABOR
Antagonism of GraSping En-
pIoyerS an Argument
for Unionism.
FOUL BLOWS AT LABOR

Binghampton, y. Y, Sept. An his
address at the Labor Day celebration
here today, Frank Morrison. secretary
of the American Federation of Labor,
said:
''Antagonism by hostile associations
of employers toward the men of labor
is a potent argument for the trade
unions 1t clearly depicts the struggle
and emphasizes the pressing necessity
of workmen combining for mutual pro-
lection. To stunt and retard the
growth of our movement, every means
which can be conceived by subtle
minds has been invented. In an open
and fair contest before the bar of
public opinion, even with an unfair
press, the cause of labor has steadily
advanced. With the full knowledge
OF this, those antagonistic organiza-
lions of employers, driven with des-
peration, having no regard for the in
herent rights of men, or any form of
law, are seeking by various means to
destroy the organizations of labor To
make false and criminal charges with
out any foundation whatever, appears
to be their present mode of warfare.
HIDE REAL PURPOSE.
I'm the kidnapping of the McNam-
aTas, taking them by force, without
complying with even the simplest
forms Of law, transporting them across
the country, is apparently considered
by the men committing this outrage as
permissible. These employers associ-
ations do not hope for a final convic-
tion of the men charged, their purpose
being to cast odium on the entire
movement. They apparently are de-
termined by fair means or foul, to
strike union labor a fatal blow In
this, the present difficulty. the mem
bers of labor organizations of our
country should, with one accord, re-
solve to give to the full limit of their
ability a sufficient amount of funds
to guarantee to the McNamaras a fair
and impartial trial
The chief question of interest to
the trust today is how they can pre-
vent their employees from becoming
members of unions, thus minimizing
the possibility of a demand being
made upon them for an increase in
wages or shorter hours OF labor. The
trusts are employing the ablest men
that money can secure to perfect plans
to more effectively bind the workers
to the industry. One of the most
plausible and at the same time the
most vicious system that the repre-
sentatives of great corporations are
trying TO fasten upon the workers AT
the present time, is the so-called divi-
dend scheme, a scheme in which the
employees cannot make a suggestion,
either as to wages, hours or share of
tie profits.

n right to vote. and it is also true,
that these who did not pay their tax
es prior to December 18th last, can
not vote in the town elections, held in
June. Those who have examined the
matter say that only about one half
of the voters of the county will be
qualified to vote next Tuesday. The
election will be held, however, and be
valid, even though only one half of
the votes of the county are cast, or
even less number than one half. We
recall no election held in this county
or state or anywhere else, in which
every vote was cast. 1t is "a ma
jority of the votes cast which
elects, of course, and the fact that a
large number of the voters are dis
franchised on account of their negli-
gence or carelessness, should not de-
prive the rest of the voters of the
privilege OF the opportunity to vote
on an important issue.
The probability is that about an
equal proportion of the vote will be
recorded anyway, or at least a suffi-
Gent number to get the sentiment of
the voters. If majority of fifty per
cent of the voters favor the bond is
sue it is reasonable to suppose that a
majority of the other fifty per cent
would also. So, the election to be
neld next Tuesday, participated in by
about one half of those who might
perhaps vote under other conditions,
will be valid, all right. The Bond Is
sue people have no fears of the result
but will push ahead, and vote the
bonds, and let the work begin.

THE ROADS NOT NEEDED"

The meeting held in the Court
House on Tuesday by the Pay AS You
Go party, was composed of about so
people according to actual count made
at different times, by two different
parties. Among the company of less
than three fourths of Il hundred. if
the count was correct, were a number
of leading citizens, some of them rep
resentative citizens, and some of them
not, judging some of the speeches
made. One speaker, called out for an
address. made the astounding state
ment, that, leaving out of question
the Hbility of the county to build the
roads, the roads as proposed to be
built by the county are not needed or
demanded in the county at this time.
- beyond the necessities of the
people. " OF course, this speaker must
have been perpetrating joke. Surely
the intelligence of even the average
man, in this twentieth century. or
any other century, cannot be so be-
logged as to seriously advocate such
a proposition. a peoples necessities
and their ability to supply these nee
esslties, are two very different prop
ositon. Who will undertake to saw.
that the people of this great county
do rot need the very best, easiest,
quickest, shortest, smoothest and
cheapest roads and means of transpor-
tation and communication possible E?
We could get on without our street
car, our granolithic walks, our paved
streets or even our railroad. Our
fathers got on without these-so
could we, if we had to, but will any
one say that we do not need what we
have and better still-the very best
that can be made? The speech in
question evidently Gid not reflec. the
sentiments of the pay plan people,
who are in favor of the roads. If this
speech did reflect the true sentiments
of the Court House meeting, then the
charge made by the Bond I.sue peo-
pie must evidently be true-"They
do not want good roads at all"

Gently as to deserve no mention

However, the record shows that.
while March was fine and spring-like
last year, April was not so fine.
There was snow and heavy frosts last
year in April about this time, and
much daamge was done to fruit trees
which March has induced to put out
their buds and leaves. Last year, this
time, Capt. A. j. Steele, 10. Howard
and other sensible men, had planted
corn, repented of it later. March has
been "a mean one"this year but has,
no doubt, saved for the community a
fine crop of apples.

WHY THE TROOPS?

The cat seems to be out. According to
newspaper reports, the moblizing of
the United States troops on the Mexi-
can border, was necessary in order to
prevent the carrying out of secret
agreement between the Mexican and
Japanese governments, by which the
Japanese were to secure certain
rights to territory on the coast, etc.
Uncle Sam at once blocked the little
game, and perhaps it will all soon be
over. Whether the presence of the
troops there was necessary or not in
order to accomplish the desired end, is
another question. AT any rate, Diaz
is to retire, and the Government of
Mexico reorganized, and within a
few weeks all will be "quiet along
the Ines again.

BOND ISSUE PLAN
AND FOREIGN LABOR

The "Pay as You Go" plan people |
assert that if the roads are built I'M
der the bond issue plan and by con-
tract, that foreign labor will be en-
ployed as against domestic labor, and
they further assert that foreign labor
is inferior to domestic la or. We sim
ply reply, by saying that this being
true, that the contractor who might
obtain contract for the building of
roads in Tazewell county, and who
knows his business, would prefer the
domestic labor to the foreign labor,
and would employ the former in pref
erence to the latter, because he could
save money thereby if for no other
reason, and that he would employ
foreign labor only in the event he
could not procure domestic labor.
We do not believe, and we feel sure
that every man in Tazewell county, if
the roads are built under the bond is
sue plan and by contract, can got all
of the work that he desires or will be
able to do from the contractors in the
building of these roads. Now we have
heard it said that there is not suffi-
cient domestic labor in the county to
properly cultivate the firms of the
county, therefore it would seem that
in the event the roads of Tazewell
county are built entirely by domestic
labor, that the next ten years will
see very little construction of roads
in the county, unless the farmers
agree and allow the domesatic laborer
to build the roads, and they employ
the foreign labor to run tn ,ir farms.
This may explain some peoples OBJ
lection to the building of good roads
If you are building a good road
through my farm and you are paying
laborers the usual price of $1.OO,
$1.25, and $3.50 per day, as the
case might be, it will necessarily re-
quire me to pay the same price to the
laborer working on my farm so long
as the job under the contractor might
last. This of course might be some
money out of my pocket but | cannot
see wherein i. would be disadvan-
tage to the domestic laborer or to the
construction of the roads.

TAZEWELL, VA, APR. ID, 1911.
INSURANCE TRUST, AGAIN.

For several years, at intervals,
this paper has called attention to the
excessive fire insurance rates paid by
the people to the insurance companies
of the state. with seemingly little or
no results. The candidates during the
last campaign, were dumb as oysters
on this question, not only i'm their
platforms and on the stump, but also
declined to answer private and per-
sonal letters, asking for their views
in the matter. So far as we have
seen or recall, very few, if any, of
the papers of the state have done
any better The evil of an insurance
trust exists, and, however unpleas-
ant it may be to "kick and find fault,
this paper has felt it duty it owes
to its readers, the majority of whom
are men of moderate means, to do
what it can to relieve them of the
burden they are carrying. A few
years ago we paid our insurance pre-
miums and asked no questions. They
did not seem to be excessive and the
people could afford to pay But when
renewal day came there was an in
crease of about 20 per cent. The next
year still further increase, and the
next and the next and that too on
the same amount of stock carried, in
the same building and same condi-
tions. If the applicant refused the
rate and looked up an agent of an
other company, he drew out his little
book and quoted the exact rates of
the other fellow, and assured you
that the rates wee all fixed unaltera-
bly, by certain Eastern Tariff Asso-
citation. So, they had you. If you get
fire protection you must pay their
rates. If these rates were anything
like stationary, not always increas.
ing, it might not be so exasperating,
but who can tell what they will be
next time?
The Wharton law gave relief. 1t
was repealed through the influence
of insurance companies. A bill to
reenact the law was passed by the
legislature in February, 1908, but
was killed in the senate. Judge Mar
tin Williams, of Bland, was, we be-
lieve, the Champion of the bill ia the
House. There were al for and "a
against tie bill in the House.
Those voting against reenacting
the bill were A. M. Bowman. Brew

der. The Influence of the Trust
must have been great. The next time
