National Democrtic Campaign Fund.

It is a regretable fact that the
town of Opelousas has not
contributed it fair quota to this
fund. The Republicans are being
financed by the corporations and
trusts that combine Wall Street
and from even more sinister foreign
sources it is alleged. The Democracy
therefore in the main must draw on
the vast mass Of farming and work
ing people to foot the bill Of the
legitimate expenes at the national
committee; it costs a vast sum for
postage alone to send out literature
to instruct one hundred millions
of people. So let the Democratic
Electorate unlose its purse strings
and contribute their mite to this
sacred fund among the contributors
who early subscribed but whose
name we omitted to publish LEE the

EVERYBODY seems to be e.ated
over the fact that there was ne
strike in this city on April 1st.
Many of our citizens were laboring
under the impression that if the
machinists did not get the eight
hours at sunrise on that day, that
the men would strike Immediately
Such was not the case however and
it relieved the minds of our citizens
wheu they found that the rsp3r !
that were going the rounds were
not true We want to inform the
good people OF Hamilton that iabol
rnions don't do business that wav
They do not want to act hasty
when making demands OF wher
asking for better conditions. They
know by years OF experience thai
nothing can be gained by suct
methods. Labor unions do 81
want to strike uni ss 1t is absolute
ly n acessary, and the manufacturer
refuses 10 meetthc committee We
have always advocated the get to-
gether plan as being the best and
if the manufacturer will only fe

to talk it over, there will be very
few strik sil the future We are
told that some OF the shops have

held with the best Of feeling on
both sides. Now that 50 nds good
