OPPOSE ANTI-PICKET LAW.

Seattle, Wash.-The attack on organ
lied labor by President Skinner of the
Employers Association of Washington,
at banquet in this city, has stimulated
trade unionists to greater activity in their
fight to repeal the anti-picket law, pass
ed by the last legislature The workers
have been successful in invoking a State
wide referendum on this legislation and
it will go on the ballot at the next gen.
eral election.
This portion of President Skinner's
speech will indicate the spirit of these
anti-unionists
81 am forced to conclude that we are
soft-peddling too much with the ire
sponsibc element in unionism. If we
neglect our duty for a longer time, force
of some description may have to be in
voked. Why not start right now to elm
mate gradually these obnoxious condi-
tons and avoid armed conflict in the
future? Unconsciously, day by day, we
are contributing our share toward the
continuance and probable perpetuation of
uncivilized union methods"

FAVORS RESTRICTION.

Washington - Alexander P. Moore
owner of the Pittsburgh Leader, who
was in the city recently, is quoted as fol-
lows by a local newspaper on the ques-
ton of immigration:
I'VE must become for five years ma
ton of selishness that we may guard
ourselves against the cheap labor OF Eu-
rope. Not only in this must we protect
ourselves, but we must restrict our I'M
migration. We ought to put up a sign
on Ellis Island so high and so luminous
that all nations could read it: Standing
room only. There will be rush when
the fighting is over in Europe-a rush
for America, and then we shall have to
become a selfish nation. We shall have
to keep EN- out. We wouldn't invite into
our homes persons who have the measles
and we can't afford to take chance with
those of the stricken nations of Europe
much as we may sympathize with them.

SHORTER HOURS FOR FIRENIEN

Buffalo, n. Y.-The Evening Times is
not alarmed at Mayor Fuhrmann's esti-
mate that the cost of two-platoon sys-
TEN in the municipal fire department
would be 1921 900 for the first year.
The paper calls attention to the differ
ence between these figures and the esti-
mates of department officials, and then
says,
Taking the proposition at Mayor
Fuhrmann's figures, however, the total
cost of the change will be less than 60
cents thousand on the tax rate. As a
cold-blooded proposition that is not much
to pay for a change from the slave sys-
TEN of 21 hours a day to reasonable
work hour system for the men in the
fire department. All the arguments on
the ground of efficiency and expense
seem to be against the proposed change,
but the one argument of humanity is to
be found in support of the change The
city of today, however, is an agency of
humanities and this is an age OF human
tiles. The dollar has too long been con-
sidcred above the man

LABOR MAN SAYS DIVINE
RIGHTS IDEA ISN'T DEAD.

Most all the idealstic literature now
is being written bv men who work for
a wage" Thomas ]. Donnelly, Secretary
of the Ohio State Federation of Labor,
says.
MANY employers still hold to the old
idea of the divine right to Kings, only
in the new way. They believe that as
proprietors of factories their rule is alb
solutc.
Notwithstanding won't solve the prob
lem between capital and labor, The

CAN'T DEFINE "UNSKILLED"

Boston. - What workers are un-
skilled?" asks Superintendent Dunder-
dale, of the Boston branch of the State
Free Employment Office, in his annual
report. The official shows that the
teamster who drives team through a
crowded street must have both nerve and
skill, and that even janitor must be
skilled i'll his line before he is employed.
Superintendent Dunderdale makes the
following points for those who use the
term "unskilled worker" in the prevail
ing loose manner:
"A very difficult question which arises
in this department, is as to the line of
demarcation between skilled and un-
skilled labor. The calling of cook is
listed as unskilled. 1t is generally con-
ceded that it does not take much skill
to fry an egg or a steak, but the title
of cook embraces a chef in hotels clubs
or restaurants, pastry and meat cooks,
which places have to be filled with per-
sons of exceptional skill Again, the vo-
cation OF teamSter-any young man
or boy can drive grocery wagon, but
it requires man of nerve and skill in
crowded streets to handle a two,- three
or four-horse hitch. There is also the
occupation of gardener-it requires
very little skill to run lawn mower or
look after a small garden, or to assist
in a hothouse, but when it comes to a
landscape gardener or man to take
charge of a dollhouse, then it requires a
man of exceptional skill and ability. All
these trades are listed as unskilled. and
in looking over the number of men in
this department who have secured posi-
tions, it is misleading to assume they
are only laborers or casual workers. In
many instances, and nearly all of them,
might say, these men are skilled in
their line of work. In fact, it is an ex-
ceedingly difficult thing to get employers
to engage a man to do window clean
ing, taking up and beating carpets, or a
kitchenman, dishwasher, or janitor, who
has not had some previous experience" F"

SHOPMEN ADVANCE.

Denver, Colo.-Shopmcn employed By
the Denver & Rio Grande railroad have
increased wages one cent an hour. Ma
chinists, blacksmiths, boilermakers pipe
filters, electricians, sheet metal workers,
car men, apprentices and helpers, to the
number of $500, are benefited. These
increases will approximate $4,000 a year.

his friends have no fears as to
the outcome Of that body. Judge
Sampson is the choice of the
people. i've won 10y $50 majority.
and the people propose to stand
10y him tO the end.
Judge Willis was here. and he
seemed as happy as did any of
the many friends of Judge Samp.
son. We are glad to say that
Kirk is the only one of those
who ran, that does not say that
Judge Sampson is the rightful
man to go ON the official ballot in
the November election. Judge
Faulkner is quoted in the Paints
willie Post as follows: There are
no sore spots on me above the
knees, Judge Sampson won, and
ought not be harrassed by a con-
test. " Judge Faulkner received
about 1000 votes in this race.
He received a severe wound on
the knee when his horse fell
with him when he was making
the rounds of his campaign.
This is why he says there are no
sore spots above the knees.
Judge Sampson run a clean
race; he did not use money to
influence any man to vote for
him, neither did he use any
abusive language to, or about,
any of his opponents. He has
left a good taste in The mouth of
all of them except Kirk.

An Error Corrected

Some time last year we got
hold of photo of the house that
Capt. John H. Lawson once lived
in, which was an old time log
house and also a photo of Capt.
himself, and in order to have
some fun out of him we had cuts
made and run them in the paper.
Capt. Lawson was not consulted
about this, and knew nothing of
it until he saw it in the paper.
Mountain advocate., 1916-09-29

In or write-up. among other
things we said: Captain Law
son has been urged to make the
race for sheriff Of the county and
that h. hau always preferred to
stay out in order to help his
friends. We did not say then
that Ge never would be a candi-
date, because we had not consult
ed him To find out. We have said
many things about Mr.. Lawson,
some ,nat were really rough in
our cDldmu entitled "Grins and
GroaNs'. because we knew him
to be y Jolly good fellow and did
not get mai.
Now we break the news to you
tina, he is. on will be candidate
for the office of sheriff of Knox
county. His hat will soon be in
the ring and there to stay. We
had no authority to say that Capt.
Lawson would Hever be a candi
date and We did not say it. We
have said many things about him
and possibly will have many
more to say about him. But bear

whats Doing in Politics"
In Knox County.

The campaign for Hughes and
Fairbanks in Knox County this
fall will be noted for unusual ac-
tivity, Republicans throughout
the county are getting busy all
ready organizing in every pre-
cinct in an effort to eclipse all
previous records to poll a large
Republican vote.
The party has protited by the
sad experience of the past in los
ing the election of the candidate
of its choice by narrow margins.
We might well have had the
Governor a Republican at the
last State race if only 800 more
Republicans of Knox county had
voted in that contest Ed Nor
row lost by III, while every one
knows that we could have given
Morrow and the Republican tick
ct at that election three times
that number and still have had
Republicans not voting. The
folks in the mountains and in
Knox County are good and loyal
Republicans. but votes not cast
will not count, they should not
count; and the only way to have
our vote counted is to be at the
polls on election day and vote.
1t is being arranged by the
campaign committee to have a
speaking campaign following the
organizations Of the various pre-
cincts of the county. There will
be more than thirty speakers and
campaignerS in the field.
Among those Of the leading
Republicans who have Offered
their services 70 the committee
are; Congressman Caleb Pow
ers, Sheriff 5. l.. Lewis. W. H.
Mcdonald, J. d. Tuggle, j. NJ.
Robson, Sol T. Steele, j. +. Cat
ron. Sawyer A. Smith. V. c.

N. Jarvis, W. X. Lay, f. J..
Mitchell, John W. Hughe., Jas.
S. Golden, Chas. West, Read p.
Black, Jesse Turner, j. H. Cat
ron.
The Republicans in this neck
of the woods are enthusiastic and
confident. Kentucky's electral
vote ought to 90 to Hughes and
Fairbanks this fall, and if it does
not the criticisms tor failure must
not and will not be upon Knox
county.
