HON. A. W. MCLEAN IN
ADDRESS TO FARMERS.
Are Urging Him to Become
a Candidate O Governor.

Red Springs. April 11.-On Friday
evening, April Sd, Hon. A. w. Mclean
of LumbertOn, whom his friends
freely predict will be our next Gov
ernor, spoke to a large and interested
audience OF Farmers Union men and
others at Unity Chapel, Hoke county.
Mr.. Mclean was especially invited to
speak to the Union, but all were in
vited and they came. He took as his
subject some means or methods for
lettering the condition Of the farm
ing class, speaking especially OF "Ru-
raj Credits" He spoke of its sue
cesseful operations in the European
countries, and Of the better conditions
it would bring about here. among the
sequels which would follow for our
betterment was better drainage. Sta
tisticS show thai in Robson county
alone, last year on account Of poor
drainage, there was an approximate
loss Of a million dollars in cotton
alone. Mr.. Mclean is a native of
HOke county which made his address
all the more interesting, it was q
mastery speech and showed much
thought and research.
Mr.. Mclean has a large knowledge
of various subjects and would make
North Carolina one Of the best Gov
ernors she has ever had. Born and
raised in the country, he is familiar
with the needs and conditions of rural
life. Mr.. clean was educated at
Chapel Hill and has been a practicing
attorney for 20 years He has been
successful not only as an attorney,
but in the business world.
A nan who has been so successful
in his own affairs is the man the
State needs to put her on a good bust
ness basis. Robson, one of the larg-
est counties in the State, has never
had but one State officer the late
Colonel ToOn, who died a few months
after his election. Mr.. McLean's
friends are urging him, but as yet
he is not committed, yet they trust
he will enter the arena.

PROBLEM THROUGH LAND REFORM
FORCING IDLE LAND INTO USE IS THE ONLY WAY TO

DEMORALIzING THE LABOR MARKET" CONTENDS
ARDENT SINGLE TAXER FROM WHATCOM COUNTY.

Can open letter to E. P. Marsh, pres.
ident Washington State Federation of
| Labor)
Friend Marsh
For many years | have regarded the
so-called labor question" as the para
mount issue in American politics.
This interest and my friendship for
you is my excuse for now writing you,
and through you the wage-workers of
/ this state.
The so-called "labor question" is
simply the problem of giving to every
worker the full product of his toll;
as Holy Scripture runs, "To every one
according as his work shall be-"
share in your profound alarm lest
the flood of immigration to be brought
through the Panama canal by specu-
lators, steamship companies and en-
ployers shall hopelessly break the
labor market on the Pacific coast and
meen will look in vain for work at
even 81 per day.
There is imminent peril of prodig-
ious calamity.
I read with great interest your pro-
posa1s: Better enforcement of exist
ing laws; an educational qualifica-
ton; work by representatives of labor
in foreign countries to restrain the
flood.
Preventive Measures PitifuIly Weak.
Perhaps l am unduly cautious. May
be my fears bias my judgment. Still
I am unable to see any effectual re-
suits coming from any or all of your
proposed remedies. America has long
been the Mecca of the landless of the
Old World. Our climate, timber,
mines, agricultural resources, are in
themselves marvellous and lying adver-
tisements magnify them a hundredfold.
AS we'll try to stop the tides as to
stem a race migration.
Fore Idle People Into Use.
Instead of attempting the impossible
task of stemming this resistless tide
of immigration, let us rather keep the
balance of supply and demand by fore
ing into use the millions of acres of
land now held idle by spectators.
Every five acres of rich land means a
home, independence, liberty for fam
lily.
The Black Death in 1345-4S de-
stroyed 25,OOOOOO people in Europe
alone, thus creating an inconceivable
demand for labor.

Detroit, Mich, Jan. 5,-A profit shar-
ing scheme by which $1O,O000OO will
be distributed annually among its en-
ployes was announced here today by
the Ford Motor company, which also
announced that the work day would be
reduced one hour without any decrease
in pay.
1t also was announced that 1000 ad-
ditional men will be put to work i'm
mediately, bringing the company's en-
ployes here up to 22,OOO. This means
that the men will work eight hours a
day, three shifts being employed.
The statement was made this after
noon that no man more than % years
of age employed by the company would
get less than half that The company
also will establish a special service
board system which will keep check
on how the individual employees invest
their shares of the profits and when
good use is not made of the profits the
board will recommend that the em-
ploye be cut off the profit sharing list
And the Sumner Iron Works still
insists on the NINE-HOUR DAY.
