rne owner or a slaye. whether or not
any other state ever owned a slave or
slaves is not known, but certainly 1t is
highly probable that no other state
ever owned slave and railroad at
the same time and worked them to-
gether, as was the case with the slave
owned by Georgia
The negros name was Ransom, later
called Ransom Montgomery by reason
Of the fact that before he was acquired
by the state he was owned by a man
named Ii. b. y Montgomery He was
purchased outright by the state through
an act of the legislature of 1S49 for
having saved the Western and Allan
tic railroad bridge over the Chatta-
hoochee river from destruction by fire
and later was placed upon a salary
under the supervision Of the principal
engineer Of the Western and Atlantic
railroad
Subsequently when the war was
over, Ransom. now free man, was
again remembered by the state. AL
though the state was practically bank
rupt, an act of the general assembly,
approved Aug 3, 1868, authorized the
superintendent of the state road to pay
TO Ransom from the treasury of the
road the sum of $562.50 and also to
provide him with home during the
rest OF his life.-Atlanta Constitution.

NO ANTI-STRIKE BILL.
Fate of Proposed Measure Forecast by
Action of Senate Committee.


Defeat of the railway strike preven-
ton program recommended by Presi-
dent Wilson to supplement the Adam
son law appeared to be forecast when
the senate interstate commerce COM
mittee In preliminary vote decided
against the principle OF the Canadian
disputes act, providing for a suspen-
sion Of the right Of strike and lockout
during the course of government in
vestigation. Two Democrats, Senator
Smith of South Carolina and Under
wood Of Alabama, voted with the Re
publicans against the measure, defeat
Ing 1t, to 4.
Senator Newlands, chairman of the
committee said that the vote was not
final, the bin itself not yet having been
voted on, and that as tie fun commit
tee was not present at that particular
session the result was IN no way de
cisive. However, it was indicated in
other quarters that the measure would
meet the same fate Ms ii received when
final vote is taken III e whole com
mittee.
The committee now has under con
sideration Il measure providing for
compulsory INVESTIGATION Of industrial
disputes, but without attempting to
bind the action OF either employee or
employer during It's course The pur-
pose of this measure would he mate
rally the same as that sought by the
Canadian plan-to give public opinion
an opportunity 10 Judge Of the merits
Of the case on both sides but without
any power to stay action until a report
was made. Such measure would
probably arouse little opposition in the
senate, as the objection to the Cana
dian act is that it cripples the men by
taking away their only weapon.
The action OF the senate committee Is
In a sense a victory for the brother
hood and the American Federation Of
Labor, the labor organizations having
bitterly opposed any effort 10 bind their
power to strike whenever and under
whatever circumstances they chose
Ever since the railroad strike crisis
last year they have Coutended that the
portion of the presidents program
which failed to pass when the Adam
son bill became law was vital blow
at their power, both actual and poten-
dal. Besides the Canadian act. they
regarded with much suspicion the
measure permitting the president to
take over the railroads in time OF
emergency, because they believed that
this would give him the power to place
them under military control If a strike
should take place thus vitiating the
pressure they would be able to bring
to bear on he roads.

SOUTHERN DIALECT.
And the vanishing Y" Sound Dear to
tho Old Time Viroinian.

Southerners have told me that they
can tell from what part of the south
person comes by his speech, just as a
northerner can distinguish by the same
signs New Englander, New Yorker,
a middle Westerner and a Brooklynite.
I cannot pretent to have become an au-
thority upon southern dialect, but it is
obvious to me that the speech Of New
Orleans is unlike that of Charleston
and that of Charleston unlike that of
Virginia The English of Charleston
seems to me to be about the purest
English spoken In this country 1t has
few traces OF what we call the south
err accent, resembling, rather, the pro
nunciation Of an Irishman educated
from boyhood In England yet retain
ing the faint trace of brogue.
The chief characteristic of the Vir-
ginian dialect is the famous and fas-
cinating localism which Professor c.
Alphonso Smith has called the vanish
Ing va y sound which causes words
like car" and garden" to be pro
nounced "cyar" and "gyarden" | am
told that In years gone by the vanish
ing y was common to all Virginians,
but though it is still common enough
among members Of the old generation
and is used also by some young people
particularly, fancy. young ladies,
who realize its fetching quality-there
can be no doubt that it is, in both
senses, vanishing and that not half
the Virginians Of the present day pro
nounce cigar" as 'segyar." carpet" as
"cya'pet" and Garter" as "Cyahtah."
In Virginia and many other parts OF
the south one hears such words as

broad Il, and such words as tube" and
new properly given the full u sound
dnstead of "toobe" and moo, as in
some parts of the northr but. on the
other hand, while the south gives the
short sound in such words as log

DIVISION IS THE DANGER.
Any Lack of Solidarity in Labors
Ranks Weakens the Cause.

Any Lack of Solidarity In Labors
Ranks Weakens the Cause.
Organized labor cannot advance ex-
cept through the organization of the
workers.
The real test is the extent in which
it has succeeded in enIisting in its
ranks the working element Of the COM
munity.
Nothing can take the place Of organ
ization.
The business of those intrusted with
the destinies Of the labor movement is
to get the largest possible number of
workers into the labor organizations.
The official or agent who is neglect
ing this for any cause is failure.
The enemies OF organized labor know
that the thing they have most to fear
is organization, and so they do their
utmost to prevent it.
They keep their members and their
official representatives busy with things
that have no particular advantage TO
the movement
They lead them off with false polti-
cal issues.
They inspire dissatisfaction with the
officials and agencies that are most &C
tive and effective in the work of or
ganizations.
Anything to keep back the real prog
ress of organized labor.-Los Angeles

LABOR NOT A COMMODITY.
Bill introduced Into New York LegsIa
ture to That Effect.

Senator Robert f. Wagner recently
introduced in the New York senate a
bill which provides that the labor of a
human being shall not be deemed a
commodity or article OF commerce.
Under the business law Of this
state" he said, "monopolies in manu-
features and merchautable wares are
prohibited. 1t has been held in some
states that such a provision applies to
labor and that therefore labor organi-
cations and combinations of laborers
are forbidden. although the sole object
of such organizations is to protect the
Iaborer. to increase wages, to lessen
the hours Of work or to better condi-
tons of employment
There is a tendency among some
employers to make this claim OF
course It is repugnant to the modern
and civilized notion Of labor 1t classi-
fes labor with bales of cotton, car
goes of coal and herds Of cattle. Obyi
ously these latter are not in the same
class with labor They are the objec-
tive products Of labor, ana labor is the
subjective effort of a human being"

short Day and Longevity.

In Pearson's Magazine Of recent is
sue appears an article under the title
1.-THE Printers Fight For Life and Vic
tory" Recounting the benefits derived
from the acquisition of the eight hour
day, the writer estimates that the two
hours reduction in the working day
has annually added a thousand years
Of leisure TO the playtime of the mem
bers of the union, resulting in an in
crease In the average length of life of
printers. He says: In 1900, when the
nine hour day was born, the products
of the ten hour day were dying. The
average age at death was 41.25 years.
Eight years later, when the eight hour
day had just been gained, the average
printer lived 1905 years Eight years
Of the eight hour regime raised that
average to 51.72 years" This increase
In longevity the writer credits solely
to the reduction in the number OF
working hours

aompers RaIks at conpulsion.

Samuel Gompers, president of the
American Federation of Labor, told the
house committee on interstate COM
merce that if congress enacted com
pulsory arbitration legislation to pre-
vent strikes he would be one who
would violate it.
"You can't and won't prevent strikes
by making them Illegal" declared Mr..
Gompers. You may prescribe direct
penalties, but you won't prevent
strikes. II you enact such a law you
may count upon me as one of those
who will violate 1T.

SOCIAL INSURANCE.
Cannot Take Place of Unions In Re-
moving Causes Of Poverty.


During the month Of December a ma
donal conference on social insurance
was held In Washington The confer
ence was arranged by the federal bu-
reau of labor statistics of the depart
ment of labor. AS the advocates or
social insurance have of late pressed
their theories upon public attention,
this conference was Of Importance and
interest. There were many viewpoints
presented and many theories advanced
1t was evident that here were repre-
sented two diametrically different
groups of thinkers, those who were
looking upon the problems of the wage
earners from the outside and viewing
them with sympathetic concern and
benevolent thought, and those who
were looking upon the problems of
wage earners through the experience
and eyes of wage earners. The one
group wanted to do something for
wage earners to relieve their suffering
and need. The other group wanted to
do something for itself to solve its
In a position to take care OF the emer-
gencies OF life
After all had presented their thoughts
and courses of action it was evident
that the consensus of opinion was in
favor of maintaining voluntary insti-
tutions. This fundamental fact stood
out paramount, that social insurance
