methods used by the capitalist clnss in
this class war; including the use Of po-

tents to these unfortunate people 50
that they, their wives and their children
might be sheltered from the rainy
weather The governor of the state Of
Alabama ordered the soldiers TO burn
the tents if the miners attempted to put
them up.
BY skillfully balancing the white man
against the negro and fostering race
hatred, the democratic politicians have
been able to prevent the formation Of
active and strong labor unions in the
south. As a result Of this the wages for
all kinds Of labor are lower in the south
than they are in the northern states.
The Democratic Party in the North.
In the north the democratic party has
been the party Of the public service cor
porations. II has maintained itself in
power in cities like Chicago, New York,
ST Louis and other large centers Of
population, by an open alliance with the
red light district and the slum.

holds the democratic party Of Illinois in
The hollow Of his hand; Tom Taggart,
who controls the democracy Of Indiana,

There are nearly one hundred thou
sand child slaves, both black and white,
in the solid south, and the democratic
party has done nothing or practically
nothing to protect them. Child labor
legislation is almost unknown in the
southern states, and INSCRIPTIONS north
ern manufacturers are moving their mills
into the south because under the demo
cratic regime they are able to employ
children without any interference from
the child labor inspector.
peonage
Peonage, the enforced detention of
workingmen, flourishes in the southern
states. The records of the department
of justice show that peonage is not only
connived at, but is actually aided by the
democratic administrations in the inter-
ests of the turpentine and lumber COM
panies.
Vagrancy Laws.
If workingman is out of a job in
the solid south, the democratic admins
tration will furnish him with employ
ment They will arrest him under the
vagrancy law, put a ball and chain on
his feet and set him to work on the
public roads. If he does not work hard
enough he will get thirty -nine lashes
across his bare back.
Sometimes the workingman is fined
and delivered into the hands of a con-
tractor or capitalist to work out his fine,
the contractor paying the county for the
mans services During the entire period
of his enforced labor the prisoner is
under strict surveillance and may be
shot by the contractor if he attempts to
escape.
Unjust Election Laws.
BY means of the poll tax, "the grand
father clause and other schemes, the
democratic party of the south has dis
franchised nearly all of the negro work
ingmen and many of the white working
men.
LdnuAOIAlaul.
Under the perpetual rule of the demo-
cratic party in the south and southwest
the public domain has been wasted and
a landlordism has grown up such as can
be found nowhere else in the United
States. In some sections of the south
and the southwest it is very unusual to
find n farmer who owns his own land.
The condition of these renters is inferior
to that of the most poorly paid work
ingman in the north.
Usury.
The banking laws in many Of the
southern states are so constructed as to
make it possible for the banker TO charge
from - 70 $50 per cent on short time
time loans. This is especially true Of
the state of Oklahoma. which boasts Of
being one Of the most progressive Of
the block Of southern states.
Antagonism to Labor Unions.
When some time ago the miners went
out on a strike in the state Of Alabama
and we've egicted from the company
houses, the United Mine Workers sent

Bridgewater of the Industrial Lumber
company is reported to have made the
foregoing remark. The association has
deposited more than 100000 to finance
the conviction of Emerson and his inn
prisoned fellow workers and has Burns
and an able staff of lawyers directing
the man-hunt.
Three of our fellow workers are al

of Grabow, and Emerson and sixty-three
others have been arrested, charged with

set to send them to the gallows or the

To one fate or the other they will go

to the rescue.
Too long already the lumber kings of
the south and their gunner have been
allowed to outrage the working class
with impunity; too long already the
reign that rules by divine right of pump
guns, rifles and blacksnake whips has
lasted.
Emerson's only crime is that he led
the revolt of the southern forest and

DEMOCRATIC PARTY.
BY Ralph Korngold.

The democratic party has announced
that it is the party of the common peo-
Pile
The democratic party, for more than
100 years, with the exception of the few
years of the reconstruction period, has
been in complete control OF what is
known as the solid south
It is doubtful whether there has ever
been a political party anywhere which
has had such an opportunity to show
what it could do and was willing to do
for the common people.
What are the fruits Of the democratic
regime in the solid south2
Child Labor
Nowhere else in the United States are
children of such tender years ground
into profits for the capitalist class as in
the solid south. It is not uncommon 20
see children six and seven year, old
tmdgiug to the cotton mill at half past
four in the morning. 10 remain at work
twelve hours and even longer, for the
pitiful wage Of from ten 10 twenty cents
a day.

TROOPS AND MOB BATTLE;
SCORE OR MORE WOUNDED
tBy Associated Press.)

louisville. Pa. May S.-Nearly a
score of persons were hit by bullets dur
ing battle between state police and a
mob of 1000 men at Minersville this
morning. 1t is believed three persons
were fatally wounded.
The fight occurred in the central part
of town. and grew out of attempts OF
the mob to prevent the transportation OF
mine employees to acollieries outside OF
town. NJ, -. ,fa. g.
When AN automobile appeared In which
two employees were to be carried, the
mob gathered and warned the driver not
to attempt to proceed. State troops com
manded the mob to dispense. A flying
brick was the response. This was the
signal for firing by the police, Members
of the mob stood their ground, until bull
let's began to hiss among them then they
took to flight.
Apparently quiet was restored. State
troops now guard the town.

The Southern Cross Drill corps is
famed throughout the country, and
without it's presence no reunion is COM
plete. 1t originated on Johnson's island
during the war when 80 soldiers, weary
with long waiting, began the drill to
while away the hours. The organiza-
ton has been perpetuated and is now
one of the most famous that is related
to the civil strife.

connected with the corps to yield to
the matrimonial fever, is president and

NEW MEMBERS ADDED
TO OGLETHORPE BOARD
South CaroIinianS Join With
GeorgianS to Re-EStabIiSh
University

That the whole state of Georgia will
enthusiastically follow the lead of At
lanta and that the entire south will join
with the state Of Georgia in the re-
establishment of famous old Oglethorpe
university, is plainly indicated in the
news that comes from the headquarters
of the movement for the past week.
Among the recent additions to the board
of directors are c. E. Graham. of Green
Vile, S. c.. who will represent the
synod of South Carolina. He may be
aptly decorated as the Sam Inman of the
Palmetto state; L. c. Vaudeville, of Car
rollton. one of the best known men in
Georgia; Cheston King, Custis n. Ander-
son and w. F. Parkhurst. all we'll
known Atlantians, have accepted seats, en-
the board during the last week
On Sunday Thornwell Jacobs told the
story of the movement to the Presbyte-
rians of Marietta, speaking in the pulpit
of the First church there At the close
of the service. James T. Anderson and
Thomas L. Wallace. two young and in
fluential Presbyterians, added their
names to the board. The First Preshy-
terrain church as a body will in all prob
ability place DR.. John H. Patton on the
board by the addition of the requisite
sum to their budget. The city of Coving-
ton will be represented by the most In
fluential elder. d. A. Thompson.
S. A. Carter, of Atlanta, has also sci
a marx for the movement to reach, bv
saying that he will be the 99th man.
Another gentleman has already taken the
hundredth place. The movement is
steadily closing I'm around theSa y,oo,,
as there are already some 81 directories
placed.
On May 10 on the campus at Milledge-
vile. where old oglethorpe stood for so
many years. reunion will be held OF all
the former students and friends, to plan
Tor their part in the re-establlshment
OF the university. This meeting will adj
Journ in dramatic fashion, for its next
session will probably be at the layiag
