THINKS LABOR UNIONS
REVOLUTIONARY IN FACT

New York, July Frank Tan
nenbaum, 26, former dishwasher, l.
". W. mob leader, jailbird. loyal
soldier of the y. S. A. honor gradu-
ate of Columbia University, member
of Beta Kappa, has now iblossomed
out as the author of book.
It is called The Labor Movement
and is thoroughly temperate in dis
cussions along economic and soci-
illogical lines. It has been reviewed
and on the whole highly praised by
conservative newspapers.
Tannenbaum is a>labor unionist
now rather than a socialist. The gen.
eral point of view Of the book is that
''the labor mvement represents the
most vital contribution now being
made to social change and recon-
struttion. He thinks that the move
ment has resulted from the insecure
ty of employment and the fact that
machinery has become the center Of
gravity in modern civilization.
He thinks the labor unions are
Revolutionary in fact rather than
primary intention He thinks they are
revolutionary because they are ac-
tualy changing the world rather
than because a few individuals
among them preach revolutionary
doctrines.
He is not as kind to the newspaper
as they have, been to him. He says:
1.-THE labor movement and the
workers in general, because Of theis
experience with the capitalistc press,
lose confidence in it and cease to be-
lieve it. This is very striking fact
in the current world. The capitalistic
press has overdone its service to the
present sysytem and has lost its hold
upon the workers"

RIOT CALL SENT OUT

Miami, Fla, July 2.-The kidnap-
ing tonight Of the Rev. r. H. Higgs,
negro preacher, who has been con-
Quoting revival services in Cocoa
nut Grove, because Of his alleged
doctrines Of racial equality, resulted
in riot call being set to Miami, the
dispatch of several automobile loads
of policemen with machine guns and
the shooting of two men here.
Higgs was taken away by four
men in an automobile. The sheriff
and his deputies say they have been
unable to find him.
When the commotion began all
former service men here were called
out and armed and were thrown
about the roads to prevent a gather
ing of negroes. One negro who fail
ed to halt when commanded to do so
was fired upon by guard and was
seriously wounded. A white man
passing was slightly wounded.

SCRAP OF PAPER MEANS
WEALTH TO CAFE MAN

New York, July IA scrap of pa
per that for FIVE generations has re-
posed between the covers of a faded
copy of Spencer's Faerie Queene may
mean wealth and luxury to Alfred
Watkins Seymour, keeper of small
restaurant in Seattle, Wash.
The paper is certificate of sixty
seven shares Of stock in the Mechan-
les Bank, left by Thomas Williams,
who died in New York in 1922. It's
actual value, .together with accrued
interest, was declared to amount to
half a million dollars. The certif-
cate had dropped out Of sight but was
discovered by a genealogist who was
going through library in the house
hold of family in Troy, N. Y. where
Seymour had had q sister and an
aunt. Seymour has established, it
was asserted that Williams was his
great grandfather and that he is now
the sole heir to his property. His
claim has been substantiated in sew
eral courts, but legal battle is still
in progress. 49,.
The bank now known by virtue of
various merges as the Mechanics
and Metals National Bank, maintains
that it has no record of the. issue of
stock and pleaded the statute Of linn
itations. Supreme Court Justice
Wagner recently ruled against this
plea, but attorneys for the bank. de-
clared they would carry the case to
higher courts.

ground of the famous "Greer An
nexation Area" fight of a year or
so ago, Greenville and Spartanburg
buried the hatchet today at a barbe-
cue and Fourth Of July celebration
held at Greer, at which large crowds
from GreenviIle, Greer and Spar

held at the Wesleyan Tabernacle
just outside Of Greer. A special

the baseball game, the train and
croYd returning to Greenville for
the celebration about noon.
A motion that the Fourth of July
celebration be made an ANNUAL event

A. G.. Wardlaw, pastor Of the First
Presbyterian Church Of Greer. Dr..

COPPER IN THE HOME

Discussing the condition of the
copper industry William A. Paine,
president of the Copper Range COM
pany, says:
Copper has always been a neces-
sity in industry and will continue to
be. Copper must and will ocme
back, stronger than ever.
Speaking of copper in the raw
state and copper in the finished pro-
duct, Mr.. Paine stated that there is
TOO wide a margin between what the
producer receives for the metal and
what. the fabricator gets fer his out
out. If this could be overcome 1t
would encourage wider use OF cop
per and prove better both for the
producer and the fabricator.
Large copper producers have been
considering the manufacture OF their
copper into finished products for dl-
rect distribution to the trade in ord
er to encourage the use of copper.
Every family in the country
should have at least one copper
wash boiler, a copper tea kettle and
enc or two copper stew pans, not TO
mention numerous other articles
which can be made of copper ana
add to the utility and attractiven9ss
of the home.

The Bureau Of Public Roads re-
Gently advised US that they would
not approve of bitulithic paving for
the Winslow project unless we could
show that competition had been Sc
cured. Prior to their ruling we had
recommended to the Bureau the ac
ceptance Of the bid of Warren
Brothers in order to conform the
Federal Aid to the provisions Of the
Street Improvement Act of 1912, as
amended.
In carving out the requirements
of the Federal Aid we secured bids
from several contractors. One for
concrete paving was at price of
$l3 600 less than the bitulithic bid,
when both bids have been reduced
to cash basis, based on the sale Of
the Improvement bonds necessary in
this Act, at 85c. on the dollar.
Since this bidding we have received
bids fer three miles of paving be
tween Phoenix and Tempe on which
the bitulithic bid was approximate
~ $4,000 under the concrete bid. In
view OF the 1aCJ LnaL warren BTOtn-
ers have a paving plant now located
at Flagstaff and that the concrete
bidder has mo equipment in the vic
unity, of Winslow, we cannot see
why there should be $4,000 differ
ence in the Winslow bids. We do
not think that this difference is
justified and believe that, as it
would take nearly two-t thirds of the
Federal Aid to pay the difference in
the cost of the two pavements, it
would be practically wasted.
! We should be glad to see this
piece of road which is part of the
| Old Trails Highway, improved and
the work done as soon as possible

opportunity to discuss with the
members of your Council the anal

were in Phoenix but presume the

ciate the relative bids on this paw
ing better, had they gone into the
subject thoroughly. If the Council
