THE STRIKERS WHO DIDN'T
FIGHT

"Fraa Ianoss Is tbs -stingiest
boy | ever saw" said Jack as he
met his uncle coming up the walk.
"And what is Fred stingy
about" replied Uncle Ted.
We'll, you see, we've been play

smoke fires from the leaves for
signals. | was to gather all the
leaves for my fire and Fred was
to get some matches to light it
with because mother put ours
+awey whsre conldn't find them.
When | was ready / told Fred to
bring the matches and he said he
wouldn't bring the matches until
| gave him enough leaves for his
smoke fire. So won't you let me
have a match, Uncle Ted?"
Fred haas sort of gone on a
strike hasn't he, Jack?" answered
his Uncle with big broad smile.
Nov I'll tell you, Jack the wind
is blowing so hard that I'm afraid
it is bit dangerous for little boys
to be playing with fire. Suppose
you get your sister and we will
go in the house and sit in the front
of the big fireplace while | tell
you a story. How's that?"
"That'll be fine" said Jack as
he pulled Uncle Ted by the sleeve
in hurry to get in the house.
After the rio were seated by
the fire, which was cracking
and sputtering, Uncle Ted said:
Last week ! told you kiddies
something about the strikes that
are going on in our county and
how germany may get ahead of us
if we don't all work together and
produce just as much as we pos
sibly can. Now l am going to tell
you something about the men who
are striking, who during the wal
didn't have to go and fight be.
cause the government felt Their
work was almost as important as
Fighting. You see, children, the
coal miners have quit work and
the country may have to go with
out coal j ma short time if they
don't go back to work If we don't
have coal we cannot run oul
trains, and if we can't run oul
trains we can't ship food. So il
is very serious matter. President
Wilson has told the miners thai
their act is unlawful and our biz
Senate has said the same. It ha.
been necessary to bring abou
almost military law in the variou,
coal regions. That is, the govern
ment is keeping soldiers at thes,
places to see that the property O.
the people and thir lives are pro
Itected from any acts Of violence

Ups Too!

How many of these strikers
are there?" asked Jack.
BEFORE answer that, Jack.
yavt .s4,ast lsaaA&shat-- Assi9essthea,
miners who are on strike the rail
road men also threaten to strike.
In these two classes there are
about 100000 men. The point is
that these million men during the
war were protected by the govern
fnent from going to fight and re-
ceived the best pay they had ever
been given. In contrast to that the
other millions of men were at the
front in France fighting, risking
their irSes and receiving $50
month. Our Congrefs is deter
mined that the selfish interest of
this one million shall not come be-
fore the interest of tn other 43
million. The records of these men
who are now fighting for higher
pay which leaders in Congress
have been investigating, show
that they are the very ones who
received the highest pay during
the war and fought at home. Even
though tn government said their
work here during the war was
important, there were other class
es just as important but who are
loya lnow. and are working and
producing. The farmers who pro-
duce our food are the best ex-
ample of this.
General Crowder, who had
charge of the work of selecting
the men for military duty during
the war has records which show
the number Of coal mine operat-
ives and railroad men. There we're
7O6,0l2 coal mine operatives of all
ages and 100000 engineers, fire
men and brakemen, and conduc-
tors. This makes a total of one
million who are attempting to
stop all industry by striking while
we have in contrast to that 49,
2O6,9l2 men in all kinds of work.
Then there is another class the
men who work in the steel mills,
These men have been striking as
told you last week. The men in
this work are mostly foreigners.
A great number of these did not
have to go to war because they
were aliens. That is they were
citizens of other countries. Some
of them ha dtheir first papers
which would have later made them
citizens of the United States. A
rule was made that the aliens
who had taken out their first pa
pers were liable to be called for
service in the United States Army
so lot Of them withdrew their pa
pers so as to be sure that they
wouldnot have to go. The nthey
could go right on working and
earning their high wages and at

TOBACCO WAREHOUSE CO.
ORGANIZED IN MORRISTOWN

For the past two years tobacco warehouse
has been proposed for Morristown, but during
the past few weeks business men have been seri-
ousy considering the proposition and it became
popular talk in the county among the farmers
and tobacco growers.
Last week few progressive men began to
formulate plans for the organization to build
warehouse, to promote tie growing of tobacco in
Hamblen and adjoining counties and securing the
services of an expert field man to be placed in
charge of the promotion of growing and secur-
ing the seed for the farmers at once.

MoRRIsTOWN A.LoGICAL PLACE

Morristown is situated in the center of the
tobacco growing section of East Tennessee and
North Carolina, as shipments are made in car
load lots from points between Newport, Tennes-
see, and Asheville, N. c., and go thru Morristown
to the different warehouses located in Greene
vile and Johnson City, and to points in Virginia
and eKntucky, and, shipments are made from the
lower counties in East tennessee to the above
markets Therefore, M5rrstown is the logical
place for tobacco market for East Tennessee.

MAKE YOUR PLANS

If you are considering raising tobacco this
year, you will have local market to sell to, and
you can feel assured your interest will be looked
after when you bring or send your to'acco to the
Morristown Market-as the new company, as
soon as ORGANIZED will secure the services of the
hest man possible who will be placed in the, field
at once to assist the grower in starting and fin
ishinp his crop for market next fall.

WILL A wAEssEsssgoJ USE PAYe

We will answer by asking, "Has Hamblen
County ever failed when the citizens co-operated
together for the enterprise for the development
of her resources or for the betterment of any
economic conditicn?' We answer, mo! And
never will fail with her present citizenship"
Now if this new business is organized in Nor
ristown is will benefit every farmer and business
man in the county and adjoining counties and all
should be interested in the promotion of the
building of warehouse in Morristown by sub
scribing stock in the Warehouse Co., which fund
will be used in the erection of modern perma-
nent building asa sales and storage warehouse.

Monday evening east of Elk Mountain,
not a great distance from the point
