WON'T WORK FOR NETTLES.
Publisher OF Advocate Refuses to
Sign Wage Scale.

The Spartanburg Typographical
Union will rat" the shop of the
Spartanburg Printing Company
which prints the Southern Christian
Advocate and is conducted by Rev.
S. A. Nettles. This was agreed on at
a meeting of the union held last Fri
day night, when it was decided that
the publisher of the Advocate should
sign the wage scale, agreeing to pay
given salary to each man for q
special task.
This Mr.. Nettles refused to do and
stated to a reporter for the Journal
Saturday morning that he was not
operating a union chop, but an open
shop, but that he always gave prefer
ence to union labor. He stated that
he did not want TO tie himself up by
signing the wage scale, but stated he
did offer that, if the union would
guarantee to keep him a man who
could set 100000 ems day, which is
a fairly good amount, considering the
copy and conditions, he would sign
the agreement to pay this man SIS
per week. The union refused to guar
antee Mr.. Nettles service of this kind
and he refused to sign the scale.
The trouble arose over new en-
ploye who was working for Mr.. Net
ties. He was being paid $40 week,
which Mr.. Nettles said was more than
he was worth. The scale price is S16
per week. The union has declared
that since Mr.. Nettles refused to
sign the scale that he is operating an
unfair shop and that when this de-
cree is taken by the union, then all
real union men walk out of the shop.
1t is understood, however, that a
man is still working for Mr.. Nettles
who holds card. Mr.. Nettles stated
Saturday morning that only one man
left him and that everything was
moving along smoothly and he
scarcely missed the man. He only
employed two.
j. B. Felmet, president of the
union, stated that the matter had
been reported to the international
headquarters of the union and he ex-
pected the national officers would Or
der strike at this shop until all diff
fefences are settled.
This is the second time that Mr..
Nettles has experienced trouble with
the union. The union men say Mr..
Nettles is hard to get on with and
expects too much of them, and Mr..
Nettles said the union men did not
'ttote fair" with him.
He says he is willing to pay the
maximum price for minimum
amount of work, but, according to
the printers, his ideas of maximum"
and minimum" are, to say the least,
a bit hazy.-Spartanburg Journal.

the evidence Of It? They say that
Lorimer was elected by the aid Of
Democrats. Are there not other Re
publican senators similarly elected,
and are there not Democratic senators
who have been elected by the aid of
Republicans? Are we to eject all
such senators?"
lie traced Mr.. Lorimer's bipartisan
election to the Illinois constitution. He
contended that there was no evidence
whatever that predatory wealth had
been a factor, either in Lorimer's cleo.
ton, or In his retention OF his seat.
Gle Is making his own fight unaided

there Is no evidence to the contrary"

Washington, July 10. Convinced
that the naval plank in the Demo.

frankly regarding what action con

Friends of the navy are planning to

sufficient to release the votes, gain

as to what Governor Wilson's opin-

OF COURSE.

A local Tory Newspaper which stands
pat against nearly every good thing in
local, state, or national politics, says:
"Of course if you want cheaper land,
cheaper hogs, and are willing to sell
your milk at 80 cents hundred then
vote for Wilson for President.
OF course II an editor really believes
such stuff as that he doesn't know
enough to periodically and intelligent
" cast his vote. And of course il he
does not believe it, but prints IL merely
to mislead the voters, he Is II dema-
gogue, pure and simple, and ought to

entrenched special privilege by the
amenities of pink tea function.
