 Congressman Warburton.
 The Hon. s. Warburton, Congress man from Washington, was in at tendance at the Asheville convention. MT. Warburton has introduced bill providing for the construction by the Federal Government of system of highways totaling some 1S,OO0 miles, including several ocean to ocean high ways, and also highways connecting almost all the towns of 10000 inhabi- tants and over. The Government is to bear all the cost. The funds are to come by increasing the tax on to- bacco The increase necessary to build the entire system and pay for it in five years would be the cost of one ten cent cigar out of 34; that is during the five years mans money would buy at the rate of B cigars instead of 34, and that the 34th ci- gar would pay for the 18,000 miles of highways MT. Warburton stated that he would introduce an amended bill including the Southern National Highway as desiganted.
 For Whole Natjon
 The Southern National Highway will be of the utmost benefit to the whole Nation, to the North, to the South, and the States and localities through which it passes. The Nation will have a route far enough South to be an all-year route, open when the more northerly routes are out of commission from cold and snow. The North, where the most people reside who can afford to tour continent, will be vastly benefited by becom- ing acquainted with the South The South will have a highway so cen trally located as to be easily reached from either side by tributary North and South lines; the backbone of it's entire road system.
 Benefit to the States.
 The States traversed, will, of course, be in line for the largest bene- fit. By the close of the year 1915 the autos using the highway will probably number 10000 a year. The average tourist will spend at least 40 days going from Washington to San Diego, and spend at least $25. .OO a day at the hotels, and garages alone of S1,000 each between Washington and San Diego. That means a gold en tide of $1O,000,OOO a year cash poured into the towns, and cities en route, that would never have come to them had it not been for the high way.
 In addition to this North Caroline, with her mountain scenery unrivaled elsewhere in the world, most like the mountain scenery of Ceylon in it's soft rounded liveliness, it's wooded slopes, it's exquisite valleys, and undulating tsky-lines will take rank with Cobra do in attractions offered. to tourists.

The copper era and Morenci leader., 1913-03-07

On Thursday, February 13, at Asheville, N. C., the Southern Nation al Highway Association was formed for the purpose of constructing and maintaining National highway through the South from Washington D. G., to San Diego, California. This association was formed by delegates commissioned by the Southern Cover nors The States included in the or ganization are Maryland, Virginia, West Virginia, Kentucky, North Car olina, Tennessee, South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Mississip- pi, Louisiana, Arkansas, Oklahoma, Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, and southern California. The linking to- gether of these States by a transcon- tinental highway has created a new South, or rather the newest South which extends from ocean to ocean.
 The origin of this enterprise is traced to three groups of men, each group working by itself, and without knowledge of the efforts of the oth- CTS, until recently all three joined hands in the Asheville convention. One of these groups labored in the far Southwest establishing a high way eastward from San Diego Cali fornia, to Fl I9aso, Texas. The lead ing spirit among them was Col. Dell NJ. Potter, who is said to be the ablest advocate of good roads in America.
 The second group identified with the enterprise consisted of North Carolina men led by such men as pr. Joseph Hyde Pratt, MT. H. B. Warner, president of the North Caro- lima Good Roads Association, Col. B. Chambers, and Dr. c. P. Ambler of Asheville, and others whose labors have resulted in the building of "The Central Highway of North Carolina" from Morehead City, on the Atlantic coast to the Tennessee line. Colonel Cameron saw a highway stretching westward from the Atlantic toward the Pacific, Colonel Potter saw a highway stretching eastward to meet it Colonel Cameron was helping to build a great Atlantic Coast Highway from Quebec, Canada, to Miami, Fla, which would be finished in two years, Colonel Potter had aided in securing the Pacific Coast Highway from Van couver, B. C., to San Diego. Both of these colonels had conceived the idea of uniting these highways by a highway across the South. It was fitting therefore that while Colonel Potter became president, Col. Bene- han Cameron, one of the ablest, best known, honored and trusted leaders of the South, would have been chosen General ice-President.

Fargo Labor Paper Takes Preach

initiative and Referendum.

In the last issue of The Labor
World reference was made to the
strange attitude of the brewers and
preachers Of North Dakota towards
the initiative and referendum. In
Minnesota the brewers are opposed
to direct legislation, while out in
North Dakota they want it. Mime
sofa is still a licensed state and North
Dakota is prohibition.
In Minnesota the preachers are for
the initiative and referendum, while
in North Dakota they are against il.
simply because they fear if the people
get a chance to vote on the question
they will put North Dakota in the wet
column.
Now comes the North Dakota Ad-
vocate of Fargo, the official organ of
the trade unions of z;orth Dakota,
and takes the churches to task for
their selfish and unexcusable position.

STRIKE At YQNkERS
SETTLED BY SULzER
New York's Governor Brings
Trolleymen's Strike to Sue
cessful Close.

YONkERS, y. T., Jan. 30.-The
strike on the Yonkers street railway,
which has been in progress since
January /, has been settled and the
men have returned to work.
An agreement was in force between
the railway company and the Amel-
gamated Association of Street and
Electric Railway Employees, one
provision of which was that the rule
OF seniority was to be in force at all
times, and that new men put on
should be taken from the waiting
list.
This latter provision was disre-
garded by the president of the COM
pany, thus violating the agreement
which was in force. Unable to Sc
cure satisfaction in this matter, the
men upon the line struck.
A city ordinance prohibited the inn
portation Of strikebreakers, and as
IL consequence not a car was oper-
ated during the difficulty. Efforts
had been made to induce the CON-
abide by the agreement, but they
were unsuccessful.
No Strikebreakers There.
Efforts We're also made to repeal
the ordinance prohibiting the i'm
portation Of strike-breakers, but
failed, but an ordinance was passed
empowering the city government to
make arrangements to take over the
road and operate it as municipal
property.
In the meantime, however, the
matter was brought to the attention
of Gov. Sulzer, who directed the pub
lie service commission to take the
matter up at once and invoke the
law, to the end that the company
be compelled to operate it's cars.
The commission was successful in
bringing the company and the en-
ployes to an understanding, whereby
the two men who were discharged
We're reinstated and the men immedi-
ately returned to work.
The two reinstated men manned
the first car which left the car barns
after the settlement had been
reached.

COLONEL MAKES
SERIOUS CHARGE
Continued from Page I.

l.
New York decision was no bar to q
compulsory workingmen's compensa-
ton act in Minnesota. The legis-
lature gave very little thought to Mr..
MERGERS opinion, but nevertheless it
attracted countrywide attention, so
much so, that Colonel Roosevelt in
the Outlook declared Mr.. Mercer had
made a pretty good case against the
New York court of appeals.
During the past two years the SUI
preme courts of several American
states have held workingmen's conn.,
pensatfon acts to be valid, and in al
most every case the decision. of the
New York court Ct appeals was ig-
nored. At this. session Of the legis-.
lature IS members Of the lower house
have introduced, at the request of the
compulsory workingmen's compensa-
ton act.
Able Lawyers Support 1t.
All Ct the introducers are members
of the bar. The bill has been intro
duced in the senate by it's two ablest
lawyers. Senators Wilson and ,Gund-

they are in no way Influenced by the

PLEAD FOR JUSTICE
IN WEST VIRGINIA
Mass Meeting Of Miners at WASH
ington Exposes Many
Grave Wrongs.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 3o.--Repre-
sentatives of the United Mine Work.
ers held a protest meeting in this city
Tuesday, for the purpose Of CIV
ing publicity to the conditions now
existing in the Kanawha mining re-
gion of West Virginia, where A strike
has been on for several months.
Congressman Wilson, chairman OF
the house labor committee, presided,
and Frank Hayes, vice president Of
the national organization: Mother"
Jones, and a number of labor men adj
dressed one Of the largest labor meet
ings ever held in Washington. It was
asserted that under the reign Of mar
tial law many Of the active union men
among the miners have been sent to
the penitentiary for alleged trivial
offenses by military commissions
without trial by jury, and for periods
up to FIVE years.
1T was further commended that all
efforts had been unavailing to get the
state government to abandon this
military regime and also to take
steps to do away with the system now
in vogue of armed guards employed
ny Tic FdIlOuS Hl1ulilS companies. IN
stances of extreme brutal treatment
were recited, which indicates that the
campaign being conducted by the
coal mine operators is one Of the
most .reprehensible that has ever been
instituted.
Congressman Wilson has introduced
a resolution in congress, calling for
a federal investigation Of the West
Virginia difficulty. Among the charges
made, as a basis for the resolution,
Is that the United States mails are
interfered with and that a. system
Of peonage exists. Efforts are to be
made by the officials of the mine
workers to the end that this resolu-
ton may receive favorable consider
alton and the investigation held.
Notwithstanding the difficulty at
tending the prosecution of the strike
in the West Virginia fields the United
Mine workers are making a deter
mined and splendid effort to secure
for the miners the rights to which
they are entitled. For years the
United Mine workers have endeavored
to unionize the West Virginia fields
and those who are engaged in this
work are confident that eventuallv,
success will obtain.
