Two Greenback Homes
Are Visited By Death
GREENBACK

Since our last communication,
death has invaded the homes of
two of our prominent and respect
ed citizens, and taken compan-
ion and a mother from the follow
ing in the order named viz: Mr..
A. J. Wilson and Mrs. P. E.
Hammontree. The death of Mrs.
Wilson was caused by apoplexy
which came upon her very sud-
denly on Monday Aug. 18th from
which she died the following
Wednesday. The latter died a
little more than a week later
from a trouble that had existed
several years. Both were we'll
and favorahly known, and best
of all led consistent christian
lives, and were both members of
the Presbyterian church, The
former at Pine Grove, Tenn, and
the latter at Cloyd's Creek. Each
leaves a large circle of relatives
and friends to mourn their de-
parture. The remains of each
were inferred in the cemetery at
Bakers Creek.
On Tuesday Aug. "a, Mr.. P. D.
Hammontree and family had as
their guests Rev. Ira E. Hicks
and family, also Mr.. Wesley Hicks
who formerly lived at Madison
vile, Tenn, but now travelling
evangelists.

DR.. StanseU To
Preach Sunday

Rev. Robert B. Stansell, D. D.,
of Athens, former vice-president
of the University of Chattanooga,
will preach at the First Methodist
Episcopal church of Maryville
next Sunday morning. At night
he will be the preacher at the
union service.
DR.. Stansell is one of the ablest
men in the Methodist Episcopal
church, and is a pulpit speaker of
unusual ability. To the lover of
pure English his messages are a
literary feast. To the thinker
whose mind wants new pastures
of thought, his message come
with a freshness often missing
in public speakers. To the young
man or woman who wants in
spiration and a bigger outlook
into life, DR.. Stansell's sermon
will be especially appealing as he
is himself a young man, and has
been associating with young men
and young women as the head of
a college and knows their lives
and hopes. The person who is
thirsty for a sermon with the
true ring of the gospel of service,
will find it in DR.. StanselPs
message.
DR.. Stansell has occupied the
leading pulpits of the east and
west during his vacation periods,
and a rare opportunity will be
missed by all who fail to hear
him Sunday.

LAWSON'S CASE

Sacramento, Calf, Aug. 12.-"f
young Rockefeller were put upon
trial for a crime in Colorado, what
would the world think of the guDer-
Material appointment to the bench as
a judge to try his case, of the leading
counsel for the United Mine Workers
of American" asks the Sacramento
Bee.
."Granby Hillyer, fresh from the
service of the Rockefellers, was pick
&c out by guhernatorial appointment
last spring to sit in judgment over
man whom his employers were pro-
secuting-the people had no choice
therein.
"A verdict obtained under such cir
cumstances should not be permitted
to remain.
IF John r. Lawson be guilty OF
the crime charged against him he
should be punished and hanging
would not be too severe sentence.
'tBut it would be a crime against
Justice. and stain upon this Nation
if he were to be forced to take life
sentence in Jail at the hands of
CRANKY Hillyer
whether one man more or less
goes to jail is of very little conse-
qence in comparison with the question
whether the scales of Justice are to
be thus weighed in advance against
a defendant.
.'For, if this thing can be done
against John R. Lawson, it can be
done against any man."

STATE COURTS
NOT AGREED

Washington, Aug. 12.-Owners OF
the ill-fated Eastland opposed the
seamen's bill Secretary Redfield OF
the department of commerce has
made public the letters of General
Manager Hull, who called on the
former to have the act either "modi-
fed or entirely Cancelled" The cabi'
net official answered. that he had no
such power, and in answer to his re-
quest for objections to the law, Hull.
replied, in substance:
That it would be physical i'm
possibility" to comply with the life
saving clauses of the law, and that
IF it were possible to put this amount
of equipment on the Eastland the
weight that would be added to her
upper deck would make the boat diff
fcult to handle"
That the provision increasing the
number of competent seamen would
afford an opportunity to able seamen
to fix an arbitrary wage and tie up
the boat without provocation.'
There is no reason for an in
crease in hfe-saving equipment on
this run"
'sThe boat is constructed Of steel
throughout. Her run between Chicago
and st. Joseph is approximately sixty
miles. She is at no time in excess
of one hour and thirty-three minutes
from shore, and at all times on her
run is within ten to sixty minutes of
all steamers. Assistance in case of
trouble could readily be secured from
other steams and the ports Of Chi
cago, Michigan City, Milwaukee, st.
Joseph and South Haven.
'Tt will be impossible to operate
under the seamen's law and make ex-
,, penses. This will naturally affect the
stocks and bonds and in the case of
great many companies will render
their bond issues practically worth
less"
The sections Of the seamen's law
that General Manager Hull objected
to will not take effect until Nov. 4,
next. This means that the Eastland
would not have to. comply with the
law until next summer.

THE UNION LABEL

1t disarms opposition and conquers
prejudice. II.
It commands the respect and pro-
lection of the. courts and state.
It Is invulnerable to the injunction,
the lockouts and the blacklist.
1t supercedes the boycott by con-
centrating the purchasing power up
on union products.
It facilitates organization by in
creasing the demand for the products
OF organized workers.
1t constitutes recognition of the
union by making certain the recogni-
ton of union products.
It protects the trade union against
attack by constituting the purchaser
the real employer.
1t makes the strike unnecessary by
making compliance with union condi-
tions an advantage in business.
