que A challenge to meet in debate here
in Richmond some advocate Of the
Plumb plan Of railroad ownership.
Mr. Montague declined, saying that
he could not afford to meet apy man
whose responsibility in the matter
was not equal TO his own. This denial
of their wishes coupled with other
grievances they hold against have
led the labor unions to vow his do
feat In the next campaign.
But it will not be against Repre-
sentative Montague alone that the
unions will direct their forces. Labor

state, is an avowed candidate for
Mayor Of the city of Richmond. with
Thomas b. Morton, president OF the

That the labor unions will put up
one of the stifyest political lights they
have waged in many years Is evidence
ed by the fact that members have al

prerequisite for the ballot IN
practically every organization In the
city a rule IS In force TO penalize
the man who cannot exhibit the neces-
sary tax receipts for voting purposes.
Ever since the once OF Treasurer

of laboring men. have besicged the
