Flying Machine Coming Here

On any clear bright day that may
dawn upon us during this ground hog
season, our citizens need not be sur
prised to hear a peculiar whir in the
air and looking up to learn the cause,
discover a big winged Curtis plane
swooping down into some nearby
field, for recently there has been or
ganized the Pee Dee Air Craft asso-
ciation of which Mr.. Leroy Payne is
a member and also local manager.
The association has bought new 2
passenger Curtis plane, which was
driven from Montgomery, Ala, to
Darlington last week without the
slightest mishap. Mr.. R. Lee William
SON, a native of South Carolina is the
pilot. Mr.. Williamson has had two
and a half years training in the gov
ernment aviation service and ranks
high among the successful birdmen of
this country, also having the distinc..
tion of being chosen by General
Crowder from 100 flyers, as his pilot
on q recent air tour of Cuba and Gen.
trail America. The weather becoming
unfavorable, and there being a hanger
at Darlington Pilot Williamson put
his machine up there, but Mr.. Payne
expects him to fly into Kingstree any
day now that brings favorable wealth
er. We are told that the Curtis plane
is the safest commercial machine
made, due to its large wing surface.
It is the most generally used type in
the South.
Those of our readers who were in
Florence last Thanksgiving Day will
recall that one of these machines was
flying almost constantly over the city
during the day-carrying passengers
people looking for thrill, or some
thing new.
The Records advice to its readers
is: If you want to fly, pay your
money and go to it, but please don't
fall.

THE ToILER
PAGE 2.
For the Workers Councils

With the change in the form of "The Toiler" adopted
this week goes policy In the past this paper has
been devoted to general presentation of news regarding
the working class movement and editorial comment on
political and industrial developments While newspaper
of this character has important function to perform
this policy does not lead to any definite form of action
The development of the working class struggle during
the three four years has thrown in sharp relief
the kind of organization which the workers must build
in order successfully combat the capitalist class and its
organs of power 1t is through the Workers Councils that
the power of the working modified and united for
the struggle against capitalist class These Workers
Council have their basis in the shops the factories the
mills the mines and railroad.
It the chop organizations and shop committees
that the power of the Russian sovets built In Ger
many the Workers Councils appeared organs Of the
workers in every struggle against the unkers and
the capitalists In England the shop organizations the
basis of the shop stewards movement which is both
challenge against reactionary trade unionism and mob
ization of the workers power for militant action.
In Italy the workers consciously proceeding with
the work organizing workers councils in preparation for
the time when they will be compelled to assume the burden
of carrying the affairs of that country day not far
distant.
In the United States the workers handicapped
in the struggle against the capitalist class by Trade
Union organization reaconary than that of England
The American Federation Of Labor is seeking be admit
ed partnership in the government and with the capital
s class rather than fighting the workers battles in the
class struggle While many the members of the A. F. of
L. are ready to carry uncompromisng struggle
against the capitalist system their efforts fritless
because the machinery of their reaconary organizations
sabotage every action which not in accord with the con
servative policy of their leaders
The steel STRIKE the miners strike and the outlaw
railroad workers strike, stand monument to the
treachery of the officadom of the American Federation
of Labor and the Railroad Brothcrhoods In place Of raj
lying the whole organized working class to the support of
these striking workers. these officials either openly sold
the workers and joined with the capitalists in fighting

against them aided the enemy of the workers by their
cowardly and vacillating policy.
The system of shop organizations and shop committees
ultimately to be united in the Workers Councils offers and
effective Of combating trade unions and Of
uniting both organized and unorganized workers for
action The shop committee touch with the
rank and file and responsive to its will It does not
present the interests Of particular craft but of all Tho
workers in the shop If there is strike all the workers
60 out together When the shop committees united fo-
particular industry, they swing all the workers in
industry into action United in the Workers Councils
they bring to bear the whole power of the working
If there ahd been Workers Councils every great in
dustal centre at the time of the steel strike and the
miners strike the workers would not have lost these
strikes The workers would have had machinery their
command through which they could have taken united
action to force the capitalists to their knees.
The part which 'The Toiler' will play in the class
struggle in this country in the future will be to carry
the agitation for the organization of shop organizations
shop committees Workers Councils Together with this
agitation will go the advocacy of industrial unionsm.
In carrying out this policy first hand information will
be secured in regard the conditions which the workers
the industries Close contact will be maintained
with the actual life of the workers in the shops Every
strike of moment will be covered
Those of the present readers who are ready to sup
port this policy urged to increase the influence Of
The Toer by ordering bundles for sale to the workers
in their shops and by securing subscriptions.
The shop organization, the shop committee the Work
ers Councils along that line lies the action that viii
hasten the day of the workers emancipation.

PROBABLY NO CHANGE
In PLANS AFFECTING
ROADS NORTH OF CITY

An even larger delegation than the
one that waited on the Commissioners
last Tuesday went down to Barlow to
attend the special meeting of that
body today to consider the question
as to whether the remaining district
bond money shall be used in finishing
the road from Lakeland to Foxtown,
or divided between that road and the
road from Foxtown to Socrum, leav.
ing both roads unfinished.
The matter was discussed from va
rious angles, but no deciding action
was taken, the Commissioners decid-
ing to take it up again next Monday
1t is mot thought likely that any
change will be made in the original
plans, and the road to FOxtown will
be left with the last three miles with
out asphalt, while the road to Socrum
will be clayed.
1t is possible that another bond is
sue may be asked to complete the un-
finished portions of these roads, and
possibly to take in some other pro.
jects.

John McGraw To TeH His Story To
 Attorney, Clain,
By Associated Press

New York, August 16.-"Too i'll to be interviewed" This was the message delivered today to federal prohibition enforcement agents who called at the home of John J. McGraw to ask the manager of the New York Giants if it was true he had bought whisky at the Lambs, prominent club for actors.
 An admission to this effect. alleged to have been made to the district at torney's office in connection with it's investigation when an actor received fractured skull at McGraw's house about week ago. today attracted the attention of James S. Shevlin, chief en- forcement officer in this city. It was he who dispatched the dry agents to the McGraw home, with the threat that II the baseball mand did not voluntarily present himself at the federal district attorneys office, subpoena for his appearance would be sought
 The agents reported they had been unable personally to see McGraw. who is recovering from a blow on the head This blow, he has told the district of- flee, resulted in a scuffle in the Lambs Club before he left for home with Slav- in in a taxicab the night the actor also was injured.
 Slavin's condition today was report ed worse, and for this reason District Attorney Swann announced he would not present the case to the grand jury for few days. Meanwhile dry agents have announced they would make an- other attempt to interview McGraw on the liquor angle, which, if true, will result in investigation of the Lambs according to MT. Shevlin.
