WHERE TRADES CNIONISM BEGAN
 AND HOW IT HAS PROGRESSED

Several disastrous strikes caused a re- action and its final dissolution During the year following there was little activity until 1890 a new organization, the Amer ican Federation of Labor, started its com prehensive canapign of inaugurating au elght-hour working day
 The principles of the American Fed eratlon of Labor were opposed to those of the Knights of Labor, in that they recognized the full autonomy of each trade to regulate its internal affairs It's plans, however, were made so as to as |. sist each trade in the support of all other trades. Under this arrangement the car penters, one of the most important of the trade unions, organized in Chicago, III. 1n 1881, were authorized in 1890 to lead III the movement fo eight hours, i'll which 1891 the miners were authorized to fol- low, but they were unsuccessful, owing to the depressed conditions in their trade.
 Since that time the history of organ- 1zed labor has been of success and phe.- nomenal growth, both numerically and financially, and at the present time the average paid-up and reported member ship of the A. F. of l.. for the past veal was 4,O78,74O, an average increase of ol8,o72 members over last year.

the forces of greed have cared much for the barbS of truth, even when those barDS have been accurately hurled.
 Even the United States government, ot which Mr. Daugherty IS an important part, having i'll its possession full mtor- nation about West Virginia, gathered by costly investigations, is unable to act with effectiveness. And 1t has not even seen it to publish the facts brought out by
 the most recent investigation.
 Finally Mir. Daugherty wants laws
 making such controversies impossible"
 when public sentiment shall have been
 sufficiently Crystalllzed.
 Finally. then, what 1t all comes down
 to Is COmpulslOn for the workers, 1nvol-
 untary servitude, slave labor Always the advocates of COmpulSlOn, the hand-maidens of autocracy, the guardians of greed, come to that. They want it made impossible for workers to protest against injustice. They want it impossible for workers to withhold ser vice under conditions which they find un- just and intolerable.
 But the American labor movement says to Mir. Daugherty and to all who come preaching compulsion, We will not have It. We will maintain freedom at all costs. America must and will re- main democratic"
 Be on guard, be alert, be prepared to | resist Ill every proper manner such en- | croachnents upon your freedom and your democracy.
 And always proclaim the great, futlda- mental truth that voluntary agreement as practiced in organized American ir1- dustry, IS the only means to industrial l peace and progress and the only means by | which American freedom can be main | tained
 The American way Is to achieve will | lngly through cooperation as the result l ot agreement; not unwillingly i'll protest
 against autocratic edict and compu1sion Labor wants facts and has made long
 and difficult fight for whatever legiti- 1 mately will facilitate publicity for facts
 In announcing himself a recruit to this 1 cause the Attorney General would have | done better had he refused to ally him. 1 self with those who seek the perpetuation
 of industrial autocracy under the reac-

KELLY DENIES

added to the registry lists to the high courts, where 1t was promptly thrown out by Judge Wolfe after brief argu- ments. The real purpose of the plan was to create the impression, through
 unta1r newspaper articles, that the registration this year was woefully negligent and thousands of loyal democrats had been kept off the pri-
 mary lists. Mr. Cahill in a plain statement to the voters during the
 week exploded that dud, however, and
 showed that the lists submitted by the
 keating-kelly forces contained
 names of republicans, men who had
 moved, men who didn't know they
 were being enrolled and even dead
 men.
 Not content then the Kcating-
 Kelly bunch at the last hour fired a
 broadsldc that they thought couldn't
 be met declaring that many promin- cnt democrats including cx-Governor Baldwin, had been removed from the lists. Governor Baldwin was not on the list so couldn't have been re- moved by Cahill, and others it was learned had requested their names erased because they didn't care to get mixed up in the row.
 Unlike the campaign of two years ago when Cahill beat kcating round- ly and much excitement and betting prevailed, it was impossible 10 get a bet from the Kelly side today al | though they were loudly claiming l victory tonight. They didn't appar- l cntly have conviction enough, how ever, to back their talk with cash al | though Cahill adhcrcnts were freely offering it. The general feeling at | noon as The Labor News goes to

 With everything lelSe contained in General Pershing's speech I found my self in full accord. 1 regret exceedingly that he should have made it necessary for me to make this statement.

I am proud that this record should have been made by American labor That 1 re- peat and shall repeat whenever it seems opportune or necessary.

CHARGES ASKING FOR HEA | TON BANK
DIVORCE ARE FALSE CA RR|ES SUIT TO
.SAYS THE " # THE DISTRICT COURT

The First State Bank of Heald-
ton has appealed from the decision Of
Justice of the Peace Hal NJ. Cannon,
and has olrried to the district court
the case in which Nose D.ckerson is
esuing it for judgment TO the amount
of $S5.21 and which Cannon decided
in Dckerson's favor.
In his petition, Dckerson who states
that he is a farmer, leased to his
brother. AIillard Dickerson some
lands which he owned to be planted
with cotton, under the customary con-
tract for one-fourh of the cot. on
grown on the lands during 1920. Mil
lard morgaged to the defendant, 1t is
alleged, his interest of ehree-fourths
of the cotton. Nose holding the tickets
on it. On November 20, 1920, alleges
the plaintiff, the bank demanded the
three fourths interest, and the plain
tiff informed the bank that he held
the tickets and that no cotton had
been sold, for the best price which
could be obtained for n was 13 cents.
1t was estimated that there We're five
bales on the lands, and Nose offered
either to sell his fourth to the bank
at 13 cents per pound, or to buy their
three-fourths interest at the same
price. The bank is alleged to have ac-
ccpted the latter proposition. Nose
calculated the total amount Of the
three fourths interest at s340,S6 from
which amount he deducted $l65 for
picking and $42 for ginning, as was
stipulated in the original contract,
with Millard, and paid the balance,
sl33S6 to the bank, However, states
the plaintiff in his petition, by h mis-
take and oversight he failed to de-
duct S5.21, or one-fourth of the total
due him as rent. The bank, alleges
the plaintiff, has refused TO remit
that amount 10 him.

FORD FIGURES IN SUIT
IN THE DISTRICT COURT

Fords are reported at various times
as performing strange deeds but tine
top-notcher Of the year seems to have
occurred on the oil field road about
? miles west of Ardmore, according
to petition which S. S. Churchill,
owner of a locll taxi service, filed
iE suit against Ed Chance und the
Magnolia Petroleum company, in the
district court. According to the pc
tition, the plaintiff states that some
Cme during July, 1919, one o; his
drivers, Dudge Griffin, was driving
n 7-plssenger Hudson touring car
loaded with passengers en- route to the
oil fields. Ed Chlnce who was driving
one Of the Magnolia Petroleum com
panys Fords, was coming east on the
same road Churchill alleges that
Glance steercd his ear to the left
as he neared the Hudson and Incl
dentslly to he wrong SIDE causing
The Ford to strike the left front wheel
of the Hudson, which benz the steering
gear of the service car and caused IT
90 run into a ditch. The plaintiff
sates that great damage TO the Hud-
son resulted and prays for judgment
In the sum of si74.Oj as damages to
the car ANA s12O5 representing the
amount lost in fares.
The case will be heard in Justice
Of the Peace ID. w Butchers court.
Champion and George are attorneys
for the plaintiff.
Just what happened to the Ford
has never been reported but no one
seems to care to take tho negative
side of a bet that it is rafting about
as usual.
