UNION MEN FAVOR
ROAD BOND ISSUE
D. N. Ferguson, President of
Carpenters Union, Gives
Views on the. Matter.

AS a usual thing union labor IS
very conservative and sometimes crit
ical concerning any kind Of bond
issue, giving bond issues careful con
sideration ana much study before
sealing their approval or disapproyal
Union men in Ardmore and in the
county have studied the proposition
Of the road bond issue ana almost
to q man are for the ISSUE because
they see in il help for the working
man, whicn he must have if he gets
through the coming winter without
suffering And they have given the
proposition thought for the unslSilled
workman At the same time. The
union man knows that as the com
munity prospers so shall he pros
per. and the indications are at this
time That there Is going to be little
work for any laboring man unless
the people step into the breach with
the bond issue. Even for the union
man there Is not overly bright pros,
poets for work this winter, as money
Is scare and jobs are scarcer. They
believed that with the money to be
realized from the road bond issue
many projects will be launched in
the county in the near future that
are now being held in abcyance on
account of funds, and these projects
will make work for many Of many

rrcse 10 pursue is (, buckle down tn

reduction OF the su;taxes Ia a maxi

he urged reduction to 30 per cent
Congress held it up to 80 per cen:
Perhaps Mr.. Mellon reasons that b!
