A STATEMENT FROM CHAIRMAN
HAYNES OF THE TRUSTEE
BOARD OF ROGER WILL
LAMS UNIVERSITY

When asked concerning the article
published in the Nashville Banner
few days ago concerning Roger Will
liams University he said: I'VE know
the condition of the school as a Trus-
do not wish to air the troubles of the
past term of the school, However, If
this must be DONE every detail may
be brought to light, which will not
do the school any good nor the former
president. The school is a chartered
institution and bylaws by which the
Trustee Board may manage its bust
ness, also with an attorney in the
person of Hon. c. c. Slaughter to adj
wise. He is also a member Of the
Trustee Board The institution is
greatly in debt and we need nearly
$4,000 to pay the bills of the insti-
ton.
"Those who are trying to keep up
strife would do better if they would
give money to pay the bills already
made at the institution. Loud in
praise to any man won't pay the bills
of this institution. The Trustee Board
of Roger Williams University does not
wish to cast any reflection upon the
former president Of the school, but
conditions have caused the change
Changes are made in city and county
also in private schools, but the schools
are allowed to go on if those that
are finding fault with the TRUSTEE
Board will get a set of men that will
take this institution and pay the bills
better than we nave. The Board OF
Trustees will be too glad to turn the
institution over to such crowd tC
run it. Like all families and insti
buttons we have had our troubles, YET
under God we will do our duty a.
best we can to succeed The Boart
has been a unit in all of its actions
up to this hour"

"JEFF" PIERCE DEAD

Washington, Dec. 18.-"Jeff" Pierce
the oldest organizer on the staff of
the American Federation of Labor,
died in Worcester, Mass, on Saturday,
December 6. In the early nineties
when the Federation's revenue was
indeed slender, Jeff" Pierce was ap-
pointed as paid representative of
the organization and continued in the
same capacity until the day of his
death. He was Cigarmaker by
trade, and was one of the few trade
union organizers that entered the field
at time when the organizations of
labor began to grow and assume
some proportions as to membership
and effectiveness. JEFF" Pierce was
well known throughout the length and
breadth Of the country, and the en-
tire movement will join in extending
sympathy to the family of JEFF
Pierce.

THE HUNGARIAN MINERS


The Hungarian Miners are among
the most badly paid and most badly
treated workers in the whole of the
European continent They are, with
out any rights and without protection.
at the mercy of mining magnates,
who will not allow the government to
give the desired approval to the es-
tablishing of trades union. A little
while ago the Government refused to
give its permission, that is to say
it's approval to the rules which had
been drawn up, stating as the reason
for this that "the mining authorities
attend to the interests of the miners. .
The Hungarian Trades Union Central
which has now been Carrying on pro
paganda work among the miners for
many years, has trecently commenced
the publication of weekly journal
called "The Miner" in the German
and hungarian languages. the cost
of this is 20 lPfennig e d. weekly. In
return the Hungarian Centre provides
benefits for the subscribers, legal aid,
a small benefit, of 40 to so kronen in
the event Of death of the subscriber
himself or his wife. It is to be hop
ed that in this way substitute for a
Miners Trades Union may be estab-
lished.
