WE suspect that The Hon. w. F. Hite,
OF Huntington, recently announced as a
candidate for the United States Senate on
the Republican side, is something OF a
spelbinder. In his statement telling of
his candidacy Mr.. Hite says this about
himself.
al was born in the Republican party
and have lived in it all the years OF my
life. have seen the wisdom ofitS tenetS
become the glory OF the nations history,
and the party itself grow great in renown,
while the country has grown great in
wealth and in material and civic advance
ment under the beneficent and nurturing
influence Of Republican principles.
Some eloquence. that-beats General
Golf at his best. And while we would
not detract from the glory that is ascribed
TO Republican influences, we venture 10
call attention 10 the fact that under the
present Democratic administration we
have had seasonable rains and an I'M
usually good corn crop.

RAY HEATING WILL
COME TO RICHMOND
New York Yankee Hurer To Be Sent To Vgnians In Place
of Arragon-Play Double Header This Afternoon.
Will Observe "Arag on Day" Tuesday.

Ray Heating, the New York Yankee
pitcher. will be sent to Richmond in
the place Of Angelo Arragon4 who was
Thursday recalled by the Gothamites.
Manager Smith has wired Bill Dono-
van to send the hurler at once and
there Is a strong probability of him
getting in Richmond In time to hurl
one Of the games of the double
header this afternoon against the
Baltimore Orioles.
Arragon will remain In Richmond
until Tuesday. after which he will
leave to join the Yankees. Arragon
declares that he Is very well pleased
with the treatment accorded him in
Richmond and he doesn't care to
leave. He has even gone so far as to
declare that he is going to ask the
New Club to give him his uncondi-
tional release in order that he can
come back to Richmond and play.
There are two reasons why the little
Cuban does not care to leave Rich
mond. One is because he Is such a
big favorite with the fans. while the
other is the fact that he has leased
an apartment here until the first of
October. The little fellow is a big
favorite In Richmond and 1t will be
with reluctance that the fans will
5co MN TAKE MS departure.
"Arragon Day" will be observed at
Broad street Park next Tuesday af-
ternoon, and the fans are expected
to be out en- masse to see the little
fellow play his final game Of the sea-
son with the Virginians. 1t Is also
limited the fans will present ths little
Cuban with "a handsome present.
Money Is already being subscribed.
In the event Heating arrives here
today in time he will hurl one Of the
games against the Orioles. while AL
bert Leake will do the Ringing In the
other contest. should Heating fail to
put in his appearance 1t Is very prob
able that Reoel Ross will be sent

The work OF both men was the

work OF both men throughout was fast,

New York, Aug. 10-Never has
organized. labor battled for it's rights
on such large scale as it is doing
at present. New Yorks gigantic and
widespread strikes serve as a barome-
ter OF the worlds unrest throughout
the country. Hundreds of thousands
of toilers are involved in direct fights
for better and juster conditions and
more equitable share of the employ
ers' huge profits, doomed to an IN
precedented extent by the rich harvest
/ they are reaping from the slaughter
| in Europe.
| With the exception of the dock
workers strike on the Pacific Coast,
no such gigantic walkouts have taken
place recently as are on in New York
at present. What is more, New York
at present is the scene of preparation
for the most revolutionary and most
portentiouS strike organized labor
ever called, for it is here that the
strike vote of the 100000 trainmen is
being counted by officials of the four
railroad brotherhoods. If this Walkout
ever occurs, it will bring with it a
paralyzation of railroad traffic of the
United States, with its attendant tie
up of industry and commerce on a
tremendous scale.
These are the biggest strikes now
on in this city:
/. The car strike. Starting with
complete stoppage of trolley service
in Yonkers, the walkout spread to the
Bronx and Manhattan, causing cessa-
ton of car service there, affected sew

of all systems in the city shortly.
1t is chiefly a fight for the right to
organize and maintain union; sec
ondarily for slightly increased wages.
Thugs and gangsters hired by the
company as "fnks' have manned the
cars such few as the company could
send out at all-and these strike
breaking crews have Vainly attempted
to provoke disturbances. The union
men are fighting on, undaunted, in a
peaceful manner, and, While the trac-
ton company has announced 1t would
never recognize a union, the workers
have the support of the public, which
is walking rather than to use the cars
during the strike. Gunner have
started riots at several points, yet
the workers are confident of ultimate
victory. This is the first real car
strike the city has witnessed, although
in Yonkers the men won strike a
few years ago, after being organized.
2. About 5000 agents of the Pruden-
tial Insurance Company have walked
out because some fifty of their num-
Der were recently discharged for join

the workers. The strike, starting
here, rapidly spread to Newark, Jer-
sey City and nearby points, and now
extends to Boston, Philadelphia and
other important Eastern centers. Re
auctions of wages by enforcing new
rules were put into effect by the COM
pany recently and the strikers are de-
manding that these be abrogated and
the men allowed to unionize. Federal
mediation has been ordered by Score
tary of Labor Wilson.
