To the Editor of The Times-D Dispatch.
Sir.-Thc charge has been made that
Captain John Lamb voted against
bin pensioning Confederate soldiers
The charge is untrue and uniounded.
on December s, 1903. the late Reprcsen-
tative Rixey. from the Eighth Congress
sional District OF Virginia, introduced
The following bill:
For tho Relief OF Veterans OF the
Confedcracy.
BE It enacted by the Senate and
House of Representatives. OF the United
states OF America in Congress assem-
bled. That from and after the passage
of this act oil soldiers homes and other
institutions maintained by the gov
ernmcnt for the disabled soldiers and
sailors of the United States shall be
open to all soldiers and sailors OF the
Civil War OF eighteen hundred and
slXty-one 10 eighteen hundred and
sixty-ive. upon the same terms and
without discrimination as TO whether
they were upon the side OF the Union
or the Confederacy.
Section 2. That the benefits of the
laws providing aid for soldiers homes
in the several States is hereby ex-
tended to those States which maintain
or shall establish soldiers homes for
the veterans of the Confederacy."
The Confederate camps throughout
the South were opposed to this bill.

Efforts among radical labor leaders
abroad, and to some extent in this
country are being made to organize
general Industrial unions without
reference to any particular Industry.
II is clear. however. that the struggle
between labor and capital in the fu-
ture will be based on industries and
not upon industrial occupations.
The main benefit which should arise
to the wage-earner and to the con-
sumner by the adoption of improved
machinery should be an increased
productiveness of Industry or n
growth in output, which would mean
lower prices. more real wages and
better standard of living. Such
would be the result If industry were

the subject of Socialism.
Mr. England, in his opening. refer
red to the Socialist party of today as
a peaceable lot of people. stating
that they 10 not carry on 4 campaign
in a quarrelsome way, like The old
Socialist party. He referred to the
fact that he thought that both the
Democratic and the Republican par
ties ere fast losing power and that
il was mainly due 10 the quarrels
which both parties had in their re-
cent National conventions.
He said that one of the greatest
purposes OF the, Socialist party was
To annalize the question of poverty,
and gave statistics which he claimed
would show the cause of poverty of
the working class of people. He al
luded to the fact that while wages
have been raised 10 per cent, within
the last 10 years. that the cost of

living has also been, raised 40 per
cent, therefore making the working
man 10 per cent. poorer than he was
10 years ago. He stated that the
greater part of the wealth of the fac
tory oss ners in the United States was
accumulated from unpaid wages.
He said that half a million men
were killed year in mills factories.
etc, just because the owners are SO
greedy for profits that they Will not

said that a great deal of wealth was
accumulated by rich owners by en-
ploying young boys and girls in their
factories on account Of the cheapness
Of their labor He asserted that il
the Socialist party We're given power
to do So that the first thing they
would do would be to look into the
reasons for the poorness of the work
ing men, and endeavr to make better
conditions for the laEoring class of
people.
He said that public schools of to-
day We're tile lest examples of So
cialism. stating that all industries
should be carried on in common like
the public schools, which met with
so ready approval among the Ameri-
can people
