PULL FORWARD.

In the labor movement there
is no room for the man who
hangs back in the traces. The
load is so big that it requires the
constant Juggling of all to make
Roadway. When all pull and
pull altogether our best efforts
are reached. Pull forward and
not backward if you would the
better enjoy life. Contempt Is
only felt for the man who does
not do his share in the battle Of
life He is looked upon as a
hindrance and sinks below the
respect that active, earnest and
intelligent workers have for each
other.
You must be one or the other.
Choose the position in life that
will entitle you to respect and
admiration for your efforts and
shun the path that brings re-
proach upon you. Don't think
your labor is not needed or de-
sired; that is mistaken, fool
ish idea. There are room and
work for all. Let us do it.

COLLECTIVE BARGAINING.

There is only one worse thing
than war measures in settling
industrial disputes. 1t is to set
tie in the wrong way issues over
human rights. The one per-
manent issue ut stake in the
Chicago garment workers strike
is the right to bargain collective
ly for the rate of wages. the
conditions of work and the re-
dress of grievances. The EN-
ployers have and exercise this
right. Their claim to it is I'M
disputed by their employees or
by any one else. The wagework-
ers demand the same right in
dealing with their organized and
collectively powerful employers.
They Justify this demand by
the plea that they have no other
way to exercise their right to
the freedom of contract" for
singly and alone the individual
employee Is not and cannot be
free to contract on equal terms
with the collective, personal and
financial resources of strong
firms and great corporations.
Combination is not more essen
tial to business economy, safety
and success than collective bar
gaining is an economic necessity
to labor.-Graham Taylor.

occupies. 1t is the same quiet man,
steadily and conscientiously at work,
never firing and never ceasipg, who
will eventually place the trade union
movement on the high plane it is des-
tined to occupy and for which 1t was
originally conceived. The time is ripe,
the harvest is ready. Take your place
among the workers and help with all
the zeal in your power toward the high
ideal that can only be reached through
organizatlon.-Mach Journal.

LOCAL NOTES

The convention proved one thing
that the trade union movement is learn
ing not to shy when somebody says
Socialism" Time was when a body
such as that would have thrown fit
at the mere suggestion of socialism"
but it is beginning to understand that
it doesn't mean anarchy" or "blood-
she'd or "lawlessness," or any of those
things popularity attributed to it few
years ago. Some even 60 so far as to
believe that it is a very definite remedy
for social ills and worth sober thought
and study. And maybe they are not so
far wrong, at that.

We have come-some of us-tO think
that we couldn't get along without
electric light. But we think wrongly.
Our fathers did and our grandfathers,
and they managed to extract consider
able pleasure out of life. As matter
of fact there are many things which
from constant use we consider necessi-
ties, but which in reality are not. "My
little dollar or two a month doesn't af-
feet the company one way or another"
somebody says. 1t doesn't hurt the COM
pany when a lot of people say that
but let lot of people. reasoning indi-
vidually, of course, decide that they can
make that sacrifice, one great, big light
monopoly will find its castle of extor-
ton tumbling about its ears.

ECHOES OF THE STATE
FEDERATION OF La
Dor CONVENTION
Continued from Page One.)

If the State Federation could put its
president or secretary or both under
salary sufficient to enable them to de-
vote their whole time to the work of
the Federation, it would be the wisest
investment ever made. Those men have
made splendid team and have accom-
plished wonderful work Turn them
loose in such manner that their whole
thought and energy might be expended
in the field of labor and they'd make
things hum. That's no fool prophecy,
either.

FIVE BUILDINGS DESTROYED.
! lanes Were Discover ed At An
Early Hour and It Took He
roric Efforts to Save
the Town

A second disastrous fire of this
year visited the little city of Fay
ette. Alabama, yesterday morn
ing at an early hour and swept
away five of the business houses,
before the flames were under con-
troll.
Fire was discovered about A
o'clock in the morning, and it
took heroic efforts to keep the
entire town from burning.
The other fire occurred on the
oath day of March when the en-
tire business part Of the town
was left in ashes. Since that
time by their spartan efforts the
people of that place have pulled
together and have made wonder
full improy ements in buildings,
etc. They are an energetic and
courageous people and meet their
losses heroi cally, which they will
no doubt do in this instance. The
gas wells which have recently
been discovered near Fayette
have given the town considerable
advertisement, and it is predict
ed that it will grow to be a. city
of considerable size.
The buildings that were de-
stroyed in yesterdays fire were:
a three story building owned by
Walker Bros; Harry Hodges
Dry Goods Store; two restaurants
and a store owned by E. Rose.

should be an object lesson for
the younger generation of her

LONG TOUR IS MADE
BY COLUMBUS BOYS
TRIP COVERED $500 MILES
Returned to Columbus Tuesday
Night and Were Given Cor
dial Welcome---Oakland
Car Was Used

Like gliddenites. without any
trophy, Messrs. Marcelle Ottley
and Walter Swoope completed a
trip of about $500 miles Tuesday
night, rolling into Columbus
in an Oakland car at 8 o'clock.
The speed that the two were max
ing when they arrived in the
city caused some excitement, but
Notwithstanding they were given
a cordial welcome.
The trip was made to Norfolk,
Va, where they were the guests
of Mr.. and Mrs. Parker, at their
summer home Willouohby Beach.
Mr.. 0ttley and Mr.. Swoope
left Columbus July 18th, reaching
Norfolk seven days later. On
this trip they stopped at Birm-
ingham. Atlanta, Tallapoosa,
Ca, Connville, Ga, Spartan
burg, S. G.. Lexington, N. c..
Durham, N. c., and Concord, N.
c. They were in the rain the
entire way.
The return trip was made in
five days, the weather was pro-
pitious. ard the best run was be-
tween Concord. N. c., and An
derson. s. c., which was dist
ance of 255 miles.
The Oakland Car. in which the
trip was.made belongs to Mr.. Ott-
ley, and proved to be first class
in every particular. The only
accidents happening to the ma
chine was a broken spring and a
few small punctures.
