Secretary Redfield Predicts
Failure of the Steel Strike

@ ECRETARY OF COMMERCE
~ REDFIELD is quoted in a
Washington dispatch as saying labor
will lose the steel strike because it.
lacks the support of public opinion.
The secretary's attitude is that Of
most well informed persons through
out the country, even the less radical
labor leaders themselves, who saw be-
fore the strike was declared that it
was a mistake. The pleas of Presi-
dent Wilson and Samuel Gompers were
swept aside. The men who are re-
sponsible for this wilful attempt to
disorganize national industry at a
time when every nerve should be
strained to carry on the work of re-
construction are enemies to America.
Not only does the present steel
strike lack the support Of public
opinion, but it lacks the support of
union labor The native-born labor
ing man, when treated fairly, wants
to do his work without molestat ton
from agitators, and in the case of the
steel strike, entirely fomented from
the outside by radical leaders, he has
every reason to feel that it is not his
fight.
Nothing whatever has been adduced
by Foster and Fitzpatrick to convince
the American people that there was
any real justification for. strike in
the steel industry. Attempts to cam
outage the true motive have failed,
America is not ready for a proleta,iat
dictatorship y

Amazing Exhibition of
Lawlessness In Omaha

Lawlessness In Omaha
A N attempt to lynch the mayor
SA of Omaha, that almost sue
ceeded, makes the recent outbreak Of
mob violence in the Nebraska city an
example Of lawlessness that is almost
without parallel in the United States.
There have been lynchings before
that resembled the Omaha disturbance.
Jails have been assaulted and set on
fire and the usual scenes Of disorder
have occurred, but when was 1ope
ever placed around the neck Of the
mayor of large American city and
that official so badly mistreated that
he lay for hours unconscious in hos
Ipital, merely because he tried to up
hold the law, as he was under oath to
do?
According to newspaper reports, the
sheriff and other officers at Omaha,
aided by firemen, struggled manfully
to check the mob and protect their
prisoner from the mob, all Of which
was most commendable. AS for Mayor
Smith, there can be no doubt that he
acted in courageous and honorable
manner. He narrowly escaped death
for trying to do his duty.

Campaign for Good
Roads Bond Issue
A LTHOUGH the sentiment is
GS strong in favor of the twenty
five million dollar bond issue for the
building of trunk highways in Ala
bama, campaign of education will
be in order.
The submission bill passed by the
Legislature went through the house by
almost unanimous vote. That was
encouraging of course, but the people
will be called upon to ratify the bill
at special election, probably in De-
cember, and the larger the majority
the greater the effect on the general
highway proposition.
Many of the ablest citizens of Ala
bama will take part in the campaign.
The civic clubs of Birmingham and
scores of other organizations, in ad-
dition to the automobile clubs, will
be well represented at conference
/ in Montgomery next Thursday to plan
for the forthcoming campaign. 1t will
be a lively canvass, and no open
minded voter in the rural section can
listen to the argument in behalf Of
the bond issue and offer an objec-
ton to it,. ~ 17ss~.sc $50
! The ratification really goes with
out saying, but the better organized
the state is the greater the majority
will be for one of the most progress
sive movements ever launched in
Alabama.
Much has been done by certain
counties in the way of good road
building. With the twenty-five mil
llion-dollar bond issue the stride .or-
ward will be a revelation.
