man, who was waiting for the tram,

EQUAL OPPORTUNITY

The ultimate aim of the labor move
ment is to establish condition of So
ciety. first, that will insure to each
portunity to secure a livelihood, which
will be sufficient to provide his fam.
lily with the same necessities and
luxuries of life enjoyed by any other
citizen; second, that will enable him
to give his children an education in
whatever direction they may decide
to follow. equal to that received by
the children of every other member of
society.
To enlarge the opportunity to Sc
cure employment, the trade unions
areadvocating and establishing short
er workday for its members. To in
sure equal education, the trade unions
are endeavoring to secure the enact
ment of compulsory education laws
and child labor laws in every state,
territory and province in America,
thus Withdrawing the children from
the factories, mines and workshops.
The trade unions assert that all ben
efts accruing from the inauguration
of labor-saving devices or cheap forms
of distribution should be enjoyed
equally by all the people, instead OF
being diverted to the benefit of the
few.
The labor movement holds that all
people are entitled to partake equally
of the joy of living; that a condition
that permits part of our people to live
in affiuence, while another part is COM
PEELED to work long hours for meager
wages, should be abolished; that q
condition that furnishes work to only
a fraction of the people. and leaves
another fraction without employment,
and helpless for long periods, should
be eliminated from our civilization.
Many claim that efforts along that
direction are an iridescent dream and
cannot be realized for years to come.
In my opinion it will come. 1t is now
approaching. It will ,come with the
full awakening Of the consciousness of
our people; a consciousness which Is
rapidly growing In strength and pow
er. and Is now In allegiance. awaiting
the psychological moment when the
great vibrating will OF all the people
has been crystallized into an active
and intelligent force that will sweep
aside all obstacles that resist It's pur-

LESSON OF LABOR DAY
An Annual Holiday That Is More
Than lust a Play Time

The first Monday in September
brings an annual reminder of the fact
that one OF the holidays which are
now practically nationwide Is 30 new
and SO vital that 1t is growing visibly
and rapidly in prestige and usefulness.
Labor day was an experiment so re-
Gently that men still young remember
its beginnings: now it is one of the
firmly established and much-valued
rest and recreation days of the year.
But the day is more than that. It
is a holiday which is not a mere play
day. Nor is 1t only a celebration of
some great event of the past. 1t looks
ahead quite as much as 1t looks back
ward. 1t is filled with the spirit Of
advancing, confident, buoyant life. It
is even a militant day. with strong
suggestion OF willingness and ability
to battle for rights denied or prin-
ciples assailed.
1t is well for the country that La
Dor day is so thoroughly alive. 1t Is
a good thing for American people that
such a holiday comes around every
fall to remind all classes and condi-
tions of men and women of the vital
and fundamental part which the labor
of the hands plays and must always
play in the progress of the world and
the very existence of mankind. 1t is
too easy to forget, at times. that ev-
erything rests on hard physical toll
and that without 1t all OF the boasted
Towering OF civilization would be i'm.
possible.
Labor day is broad enough, in It's
name and in the break which 1t makes
In the regular grind Of trade and in.
dustry and in all Of the productive
activities Of the country to cover all
kinds of work, but 1t Is the especial
property Of manual labor and more
particularly OF manual labor 30 organ.
ized. so awake and so strong that It
can speak as a vast body of men
trained to act together and work for
the same ends
That Is to say, the annual holiday
OF labor Is taken as right, not as q
gift. It is Representation of strength
ready for use. not day of recreation
and fun without n serious thought.
But the stronger labor becomes the
less danger there is Of needless and
destructive labor wars. with power
comes responsibility. and the more
there is that has been won the more
there is, also. to hazard In strife. The
labor organizations which are most
thoroughly developed and united are
the ones which get along best with
employers and are most reasonable
and businesslike in the negotiations
which they carry on. The strong and
successful do not lightly risk the
fruits of their past triumphs. and the
same qualities that made them sue.
ceed keep them safe and sound.
Labor day is filled with such les
sons. It is stimulating. thought-com-
pelling and instructive as a holiday.
and there are few days in the year
which do more to make Americans
give attention to the large problems
of their country and the times.

Washington, Dec. 31.-Several
thousand rural free delivery letter
carriers are barred from active par

and empowers the civil service COM

to be so engaged.
The rural carriers like all mail
clerks and other postofice employees,
are not to be denied the right of po-
litical belief and discussion of politi-
cal conditions, but their active par
ticipation in political affairs will be
stopped. The term, 'pernicious ac-
tivity in politics." is an elastic one,
and in the past has worked on other
classes of federal employees as an
effectual bar from politics.

Aiken, Dec. 31.-In making an ar

o'clock, Policeman J. P. Gaddy, who
was last month elected to fill the va
cancy resulting from the death OF
Wade Patterson, fired five times
upon the negro whom he was en-
deavoring to arrest. However, but
one of the bullets reached it's mark,
striking the negro, Wesley Garvin,
in the right thigh, inficting merely
a flesh wound.
The evidence gathered seems to
show beyond all doubt that Officer
Gaddy was justified in shooting Gar
vim, and that he did so not only in
the discharge of his duty, but in self
defence, because the negro was vio-
lently resisting arrest and had. as
saulted the officer. The negro him
self, when seen by the News and
Courier correspondent, declared that
he could not blame the officer for
shooting.

Hutto, the aged Confederate veteran,

tonight, by having his head and face
mashed to a pulp, were arrested on
suspicion this afternoon by Sheriff
King, and were lodged in the county
Jail.
At the coroner's inquest, held on
Friday, the two negroes testified
and the fact that they were fully con-
versant with Mr.. Hutto's habits and
actions and that they discovered
blood under the store room, which
had trickled through the floor, ana
that they reported the matter to the
officers. put them under the ban OF
suspicion, and their intense interest
in the developments since has in
creased suspicion to such a degree
as to warrant their arrest. The cor
oner's inquest, which adjourned
Friday, will resume taking testimony
in the case on Wednesday.
