Union employees Of the United States
Steel company have called, strike to
become effective on September %. The
purpose of the strike is to compel the
steel corporation to follow the United
States government in recognition not
only of the right of steel workers to
organize, but to treat with employees
through duly accredited representa-
tives of the organization. The steel
corporation is standing firm on the
proposition that the workers have no
real grievance and that they shall not
take away from the corporation the
right to deal with employees as indivld-
uals. The probable outcome OF the
strike is a matter for an actual test. II
is not denied that the steel corporation
occupies a very strong position strate'
gically, in that many of its most infiu'
entail employees are thoroughly salts;
fed with their pay and treatment, ano
are not in very great sympathy with
the union.

There are various opinions about
that Turkey Creek drainage project.
Some think that the area of the bot
toms to be drained is not sufficient
to warrant the expense, and others
think that because of rough charac-
ter of the country and the rapid flow
OF water after heavy rains it will be
impossible to take care of the floods,
etc. 1t is perhaps a fact that there is
less area OF really desirable bottom
land along the upper reaches OF Tur-
key Creek than alcng the same dis
tarce Of any other c. eek in the county.
AS to how it is all going to come out
remains to be seen; but this much is
reasonably certain: If the drainage OF
Turkey Creek proves q success in
drying up the bottol as along it's course,
this undertaking will be the beginning
Of still more eXter si2a work of the
same kind.

We want 1t understood once Tor all
that we have no quarrel with those
who stand for the fullest development
of our trade with Europe and the
balance of the world. There are some
who are arguing that the task we
have assumed of feeding, Europe IS
making for high prices at home. Bun
combe! The good Housewife has an
abundance of eggs, more than she can
use. Suppose everybody else had
more eggs than they could use, what
would be the price of eggs? Eggs
would be so cheap that they could not
be sold, wouldn't they? Low cost of
living about there, to be sure, and
mighty poor living too! Nothing to
eat but eggs. Eggs are nightly fine
eating occasionally or in. moderation;
but suppose there was nothing to eat
but eggs for thirty days or two
months, what? We have in the United
States twice as much cotton as all the
mills in this country can spin. That
Is the reason why cotton is selling for
less than so cents a pound right now.
What do the mills want with surplus
cotton over and above enough to keep
their spindles busy? OF course they
have no objection to that surplus, be-
cause nobody understands, better than
they how it is that the price of the
cotton they spin is fixed by the sur
plus for which there is no demand.
The spinner does not want to ship any
cotton to Europe. OF course not. 1t
would not only make him pay higher
for his own supplies: but he would
have more competition in the price of
his output. But the cotton producer
wants cotton to go to Europe for two
good reasons: In the first place the
European demand would make the
American spinner pay more for the
raw product and in the second place
the European output would enable the
southern producer Of raw cotton to
buy his cotton goods cheaper. Any
body ought to be able to understand
the whole situation. Instead of our be-
ing inconvenienced by helping to sup
ply Europe-instead Of European
trade, helping to add to the cost of
living in America-the suppression OF
European trade is responsible for all
the financial and economic ills from
which we are now suffering. There are
individuals, thousands Of them who
would rather have things stand as
they are; but the great mass of peo-
pie of all kinds need. brisk vigorous
trade. That is what the country wants
now.

Wciahino and Grading.-Robeson

Weighing and Gradins.-Robeson
county has set the pace for all the cot
ton belt counties in securing an expert
cotton grader for the third season.
Robeson farmers and business men
have found it paying proposition. 1t
means that all cotton sold by the
farmers is graded by a disinterested
person who knows his business. The
buyer and the seller haYc confidence
in him and both sides are satisfied
with his grading. Whereas, without q
public cotton grader, the buyer neces-
sarily does all the grading, as the
average farmer knows little of the
technique of cotton grading, and in
many instances the buyer, who in many
Of the cotton counties is only a mer-
chant, knows little more about grades
than the grower knows.
One great consideration is that the
producer is satisfied and knows that
the buyer is not knocking down" the
grade to the farmers loss, to say moth
ing Of the protection afforded both the
buyer and the seller in having the cot
ton properly graded.
Public cotton weighcrs also are just
about as important as cotton graders.

ROAD Is BLOCKED

The public road between Claude
Robinson's on, the Pinckney road and
Sharon has been blocked at Turkey
Creek, since last Wednesday because
OF the temporary removal OF the
bridge TO admit the passage of tho
drcdgeboat down the creek.
The drainage commissioners adver-
tised on September for proposals for
the removal and replacement of the
bridge to permit the passage of the
dredgeboat, the proposals to be sub
mitted on September Is; but when 1t
appeared that the. dredgeboat would
reach the bridge before the day Of the
letting, Mr.. c. NJ. Inman Of the drain
age commission, went ahead and did
the work himself
The dredgeboat reached the bridge
last Friday; but during the night the
big derrick by which the huge shovel
is manipulated, was put out of commits
sion by stump that proved rather too
heavy for it and the dredging outfit
was held up at the bridge site. the
steam shovel On the down stream side
and the houseboat Immediately behind.

and yesterday. The 'dredgers were

While probably the treaty may not
be to our liking we would like to see it
ratified without further delay, We had
just the same kind of a wrangle ever
the ratification of the Spanish-Ameri-
can treaty. Then the shoe was on the
other foot. The Democrats had q small
majority in the senate and for purely
party reasons they sought to defeat a
treaty negotiated by Republican ad-
ministration. They would have sue
ceeded but for the fact that John L..
McLaurin, a Democrat, was unwilling
to stand for further bloodshed merely
to crafty a party desire to win. He
washed his hands Of the whole busi-
ness and gave q deciding vote for
peace. Unless there are half dozen or
moro Republicans who are big enough
to do the same thing now, the treaty
cannot be ratified.

1t would be quite nice thing for
York county to present each Ssoldier
from her limits who enlisted in the
service of the nation during the world
war with a medal struck for the pur-
pose. The idea is not original with
us; but we consider it a good one.
Many counties throughout the United
States have already taken such action.
The expense involved would not be
very great; but these medals iffaward-
ed would prove of great benefit
and satisfaction to: tl.eir possessors and
the children of their possessors in the
future, and also they would reflect
credit upon the generation that made
the presentation. What says the
county board of commissioners and
the legislative delegation?
