Wells Fargo Go. Saw the Wisdom
Of Reinstating Men Who
Were Discharged.
UPRISING OF DRIVERS
WAS THEREBY AVERTED
For Several Weeks the Company
Had Been Discriminating
Against Union Men.

NEW YORK, Feb. 16.-Frightened
by another uprising of the express
drivers the Wells Fargo Express
company yesterday ordered the re-
instatement Of the twenty-five men
who were dismissed from their jobs
on Wednesday night. The "settle-
ment' was made at the office of the
Wells Fargo Express company, after
committee of the express drivers
had appeared and threatened a gen.
eral walkout if the men were not
reinstated.
This time the settlement was made.
by the men on the wagons themselves.
without the interference of the mayor
or Tammany labor leaders. 1t was
said in Jersey City yesterday that the
business agents had a hard job to
set the drivers of the Pavonia ave-
hue stable back to work while await
ing the result of the conference over
the reinstatement of their twenty-five
dismissed fellow workers.
For the past few weeks the COM
pany has made work hard for union
men, disregarding the promise they
not discriminate against employees.
jeremiah Hurley, business agent Of
Local 617 of the International
Brotherhood Of Teamsters, said:
That the committee made a demand
for the reinstatement of a driver who
had been discharged several weeks
ago and that the committee was
promised that he too would be re-
instated.
A strong complaint had been ent-
cred against Superintendent Moran
Of the wagon service, who the men
claim has bee instrumental in the
discharge Ola; number OF union men,
@bersF / Hurley stated triaf thhe Com
pany has been hard at work trying
to. disrupt the organization of the
| drivers, but that the men would not
stand for it.
Although he did not think that a
strike would take place, he said that
there Is great unrest among the work
| ers, and that If the company con-
! tinues it's attitude Of discharging and
| laying off union men and giving the
non-unionists the preference that
! another strike might take place.
A company-owned social club Of
! the Wells Fargo employees was or
, sanized at Pohlman's hall, Jersey
| City, last Sunday and all the en-
| ployes were invited to join the club
for their own good" The men claim
! that the Wells Fargo is trying tt
| play the same trick as the American
Express company in getting the mer
to desert the union by making them
join the company's club.
Although the men. were reinstated
and peace again prevails between
the express companies and their en-
ploys. it was said in Jersey City yes
! terday that another strike may break
| out at any moment. The companies
; carry on gumshoe campaign against
| the union men and union men are
| being discharged and replaced by
non-union men and members of the
company's social clubs. Although the
strike was of short duration, two
! drivers, who the drivers claim re-
mained at work, were badly beate1
up and one of them is now in thu
| hospital.

LEATHER WORKERS ....-
:: UNION NUMBER 63
Motto: Just and Equitable Dealings
" Between the Mcmbors and Their
Employers.
Local Not Strong Numerically, Bu'
Its Members Are Loyal
Union Men.

Probably no stronger contrast Of
right and wrong can be found in any
field Of work than in the leather
workers industry.
The union asks for nothing but just
and equitable dealings between the
members and their employees to the
end that the interests of both shall
thereby be protected and safe
guarded.
That is the issue and it is not a
little remarkable, that in this indus
try there. are employers, 50 fearful
of unionism that they will not know
inEly employ an individual affiliated
with a union.
: So hostile are certain employers in
this industry that they cause notices
to be posted in their shops, mo union
men employed" But unionism has
icism in other industries and the few
employers in the leather industry who
oppose the movement will yet see the
error Of their ways.
Perhaps, there is an excuse for
their hostility, while the ranks of or
ganized labor are filled with men
who unselfishly strive for the uplift
of all the peope for the common
good, yet like all other movements,
its men and measures may be tinct-
ured with the frailties common to our
human nature, but for all that it is
doing and will continue to do work
of inestimable value to mankind.
Local Number 63 is not numerically
strong but its members are loyal and
devoted to the cause, and by pa
tient continuance in we'll doing they
hope the day is not far distant when
employers If they put up any notice
at all it will be: NONE BUT UNION
MEN EMPLOYED HERE.

WHY 1 .AM y UNION MAN.

Because l am not afraid to
line up with my fellow workers
and make an honest demand for
that which is ours by heritage.
Because l want to see every
man, woman and child have
plenty to cat, plenty to wear
and plenty of time to enjoy 1t.
Because I am opposed to filth
and ignorance and in favor Of
health and knowledge.
Because l can think more of
an honest heart under a ragged

bloat With bank account. i.
Because Il union man is never
dlsrespected by any one except

more money than kindness.
Because when ] pay 49,. dues

then lie knew that he was the same affable, courteous gentleman as of yore.
 MT. Norwood stated that only one court in the State had refused to give him time to speak, and that vas the Court of the district in which both of bis opponents reside. He said that he regretted that Governor Douaghey cancelled his appointments; that he well remembered the cam paign When tive candidates for goyer- nor discussed the issues, and there was time left for other candidates for state Offices to speak. He told of his efforts 10 get Gov. Donaghey 10 enter into a joint campaign, and that even after the Governor had refused to do this, some newspaper friendly to the Governor candidacy, boasted of what the Governor would do to his opponents if he should chance to meet them sometime during the cam paign in joint debate He said that upon reading these newspaper articles, he had requested the Governor to let him know where he was going to speak and that he would he there, but that the Governor refused to comply with this request. MT. Nor wood declared that a candidate who refused to let his opponent know where he was going to speak was a political coward Mr. Norwood also said, "our business Governor had been clamoring for more revenue ever since he was inaugurated, and yet the state was in worse condition financially than it had been since the days of Reconstruction. He asserted that our financial situation is not the result of our revenue system, but is due to the most extravagant ad- ministration of the States affairs since the reign of the Republican party. He exhibited copies of the Governor ; message to the Legislature

 The speaking was conducted on a high plane, and old citizens who at tended were we'll pieaeG with this feature, as 1t seems 10 have been a new one in the last decade. The speaker, while delivering some telling blows on the oppositiendid 80 in such a good-natnred way, that his oppo- nents' constituents admitted that only the keenest familiarity with the matters about which he spoke enabled him to do so. A great many ladies graced the audience and congratulate ed MT. Norwood, as this was his first appearance in this community as a candidate.
 Throughout his speech. the Attor ney General was repeatedly applaud ed and clinched a number of his points with amusing anecdotes He said frequently that he regretted that the Governor was not present.
 MT. Norwood left Wednesday morning for Marianna where he and the Governor had appointments to speak, but following out his policy Governor Douaghey had cancelled this date also.

N0RWOOD WELL RECEIVED.
Attorney General Speaks t0 Large Audience at Court House Tues
 day Afternoon.

What had been widely advet tised as Donaghey meeting, vas, on Tues day afternoon, at the courthouse turned into triumph for Attorney General Hal Norwood, the Governor declining to meet him and cancelling his engagement Mir. Norwood $ coming had been announced last Fri day by few lines in The Times, while notice Of the Donaghey speak ing had been circulated widely throughout the county. When 1t was learned that the Governor Lad cancelled his date, report gained circulation throughout the city and county that there would be no speak ing, and as d consequence quite a number of those who had intended to be present did not come 10 town at all. Nevertheless the spacious court room was filled 10 it's capacity and many of MT Norwood'S $ auditors re- mained standing throughout his speech rather than miss a word of 1t.
 The attorney general made favor able impression, and there IS senti- ment expressed that the Governor ln- jured himself and his chances, by failing to fill his appointment, as the people were anxious to hear him and his side of the issues.
 MT. Norwood was introduced by Prosecuting Attorney R. ]. Williams, and spoke for one hour and a-haif. He commenced by thanking Judge Hutton for his courtesy in adIourning court in order that he might speak, and stated that he had served in the General Assembly with Judge Hutton eighteen years ago, and although he had seen the Judge but once since

 Many in Forrest City are now using the simple buckthorn bark and glyc- crime mixture known as Adler-i-ka, the new German ppendicitis remedy. A Single Dose relieves constipation, sour stomach or gas on the stomach almost INSTANTLY.
