HITS.
AT EMPLOYERS
Shall Not Break Down In
dustrial Democracy,De-
clares Labor Head.

Organized labor stands ready and
willing to fight any attempt ITO
break down the democracy already
achieved in industry" Samuel Comp
ers, president of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor, asserted yesterday
in an editorial Reaction in the Sad
de-" in the American Federation
ist.
He denounced organized labor
men who supported the Republican
ticket and defended the 'non-par-
tisan" campaign conducted by Off
cials of the federation. Referring
to a recent statement in the Wall
Street Journal in which it was de-
clared that no free country can
afford an irresponsible central or
ganization like the American Fed
eratioH of Labor" Mr.. Gompers
said:
1T will be proper now for some
of the leading labor men to take
comfort from the course they have
pursued in view of the Illuminating
editorial in the Wall Street Journal,
and 1t is eminently fitting for them
to consider the viewpoint expressed
In that editorial that the election
of Mr.. Harding and so many repre-
scntatives of the Old Guard con-
stitutes a mandate to outlaw the
normal activities of the working
people.
But il reaction considers the
election a mandate to destroy human
freedom, it is mistaken and it will
discover its mistake

Columbia, June 5.-Coaptroi!er-
General Rut. L. Osborne officially
announced today that he will not be
a candidate in the coming primary
to succeed himself. 1t is the general
opinion of political observers that
Mr.. Osborne would not have had
opposition had he decided to offer
for reelection, 10 one having an
nounced opposition to date.
Mr.. Osborne makes the following
statement:
"It is with the deepest of feeling
and regret that I find it necessary
to announce 1 will not be a candi-
date to. succeed myself as comp
troller general of South Carolina.

charges of something rotten near
er than Denmark" were made by
the delegates of the Adams faction,
counted for Wood in the course of
presenting their cases against the
ToIbert delegations which are
counted for Lowden.
The name of National Committee
man Bean of Florida, was brought
in to show that he worl lked through
out South Carolina as an organizer
for Frank H. Hitchcock, arranging
contesting delegations favorable to
Gen. Wood.
While the argument technically
ranged about the question of party
regularity with the Tolbert faction
claiming that designation, the
Wood delegates brought charges of
machine rule which they argued
under their leadership of national
Committeeman Tolbert, had re-
duced the Republican vote in
South Carolina to negligible quanti-
ty.
Some of the negro delegates
charged that the Tolbert faction
had threatened them with death if
they attended the regularly called
convention. e,
Former Gov. Cooper of Tennessee,
presenting the cases for the Wood
delegates, conceded irregularity in
some cases but claimed "equity and
right"
The national committee, however,
in making it's decision, confined it
self to the question of regularity
and voted in favor of the Tolbert
faction.
]. E. Levy, a negro from Flor
ence, S. c., made an explanation Of
his contest which kept the committee
laughing, but did not win his case.
He had the distinction, however, of
having the committee "thank him
for his honesty on motion of ma
tional Committeeman Jackson of
Georgia.
