 The next morning 1 found that there were no accommodations in the room and, after knocking on the door, an old colored woman advised me that l would have to go out in the back yard where the pump was located If l desired to wash my face. She showed me where the pump was To- catcd and pumped the water while washed myself 1 made inquiry re- garding breakfast. She advised me that she would get some for me and to my surprise 1 noticed that there was no one but colored people around the house. After breakfast 1 asked what l owed for the accommodation and she told me that 50 cents would pay the bill,
 Later 1 found the officers of our local union and we proceeded to the ce1fetcry where the dedication cere- monies took place. I related my ex- pericncc of the night before to the committee who were entertaining me and they informed me that the place
 here I had stopped over night was a boarding house for colored people, operated by colored people. Of course l made arrangements to get bath at the earliest possible moment

MARTIAL LAW ENDS
 IN MINGO COUNTY

Charleston, w. Va, Oct 27.-Gov- ernor Morgan has ended martial law in Mingo county after that county is broke" and large sums have been drawn from the state treasury. The union miners in their tent colony are as determined as ever.
 The public press made no comment on the governors proclamation, which ended martial law. When martial law was established, the press treated it in the most sensational manner possi- ble.
 The reason for this changed atti- tude, says the West Virginia Fedora tionist, IS because the vicious system has been repudiated by the courts of that county-its work thrown out of court, and there is nothing left for it's sponsors to do but silently fold up their tents and sneak out like a thief in the night. So ends another dis graceful chapter in West Virginia's government by the coal owners"
 While martial law was operating in Mingo county that section was in the hands of anarchists who were paid by the state and who denied constitu- toinal rights to vitizens of West Vir- ginia. Large numbers of workers were thrown in jail on faked charges, which the courts refused to sustain.

About 25 years ago, Brother T. w. Talbot, the founder and the first in ternatiOnal president of the 1. A. of M., was shot and killed by a young man who had insulted Brother Tal- bots daughter, on one of the streets of Florence, $. C. Miss Talbot, com ing home from school in the evening, informed her father of what had taken place and Brother Talbot proceeded with a horse whip to personally ad- minister a sound whipping to the young man who had insulted his daughter. In the mix-up he was shot and later died.
 At the 1897 convention of the I. A. Of NJ. resolution was adopted call ing for q voluntary subscription to erect d monument to Brother Talbot m the little cemetery at Florence, 5. (. Sufficient money was subscribed to purchase d respectable monument As the international president of the 1. A. of M., l was invited to deliver the dedication address on Memorial Day, in the little cemetery where the monument had been erected
 l had never been in Florence, s. C.. and before going there made inquiry of the secretary of our local union as to hotel accommodations He ad- vised me that the only hotel in the town was operated by the father of the young man who had shot Brother Talbot and therefore, of course, 1 would not be expected to stop at that hotel, but that he would make ar engagements for me at private resi- dence and if 1 would advise him in advance as to when 1 would arrive in Florence, he would be glad to meet me at the train.
 When 1 had made arrangements re- garding my trip to Florence, I noti- fled him that l would arrive there about / o'clock on the evening before the day set for the dedication, but as fate would have it, something went wrong with the machinery of the To- comotive hauling the train and we did not arrive in Florence until about 7 o'clock in the morning. 1 was the only passenger to leave the train and there was no one there to meet me The only live person around the little station was an old colored man of whom l made inquiry about a place to stop. He gave me the name of the hotel in the town and 1 told him that l did not care to stop there He in formed me that the only other place was a little railroad boarding house and if l cared to go there he would see if he could get the people up for me, With lis lantern he guided me 10 this supposed boarding house and, after knocking on the door for some time an old colored man stuck his

McADOO ATTACKS
 ENTERTAINING PLAN

Council Bluffs, Iowa, Oct 27-The ratc-making system for railroads un- der the Esch-Cummins law was at tackled by former Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo in a speech in this city. He said the plan is based on an arbitrary aggregate valuation of all railroads and rates are fixed high enough to earn 5H per cent net on that gross valuation
 Necessarily there is included rail- roads which should never have been built and never will earn anything on the investment" he said. "Other railroads improvidently or unwisely built will never earn dividends. The Esch-Cummins bill is forcing the pub lie to pay 5H per cent net on these pCOr investments"
 The speaker declaerd the law should be repealed or amended He said the only reasonable basis for rate-making valuation was the value of the transportation service performed and what the traffic could bear

REACTION SNARLS

Philadelphia, Oct. 27-President Gompers' address before the Ameri- can Legion at New Orleans has brought snarls from reactions spokes- men, who let 1t be known that any understanding between the vets and union labor is unacceptable to them
 The Philadelphia Public Ledger, which advertises tis "unexcelled edi- torial service," emits this yowl:
 "Gompers wants something. Year in and year out he seeks to elect men and influence legislation in favor of his labor policies. He is backig a to place labor above and outside the laws that apply to the av-- craze citizen and hope to hamstring the courts and amend the constitu- ton in labor's interest. He has been and still is in politics up to his ears"
The Connecticut labor news., 1922-10-27

The average worker does not al ways appreciate the personal interest he ought to take in the election of the County Sheriff, either as to the character of the candidates or the na- 1 ture of the policy they may be ex- pected to pursue when elected. He is inclined to regard the County Sheriff as one who has something to do with the enforcement of criminal law and the conduct of the county jail. He is inclined to feel that so long as he obeys the law, he has little or no reason to be interested. 1nasmuch as the sheriff is the chief peace officer of the county and responsible for the tection of property within it's con
 fines, it is essential that the incum- bent of the office should not only be one who will fairly and impartially discharge his duty, but also one who harbors no prejudice toward organ ize labor In labor struggles it is unfortunate that radical sympathizers of organized labor some times commit acts of violence, or the situation be- comes so tense that the sheriff of the county is called upon to furnish that protection of life and property which the law guarantees, and which 1t is his duty to provide. At such times, a sheriff unsympathetic with the as plrations of labor, who has not the common touch, might do serious in jury to our cause The power of the county would be dangerous if i'm properly used. We should be ex- tremely careful to whom 1t is en- trusted
 One of the outstanding features of he of at Thompsonville, and the strike of the railroad shopmen at East Hartford, is the absolute fairness with which Sheriff Gabb of Hartford County treated the workers and the public. So tactfully were these situations handled, that practically no disorder existed nor did any acts of violence occur to bring discredit upon the com munity, or that could create anv pre- judice against the strikers or organ ized labor
 Hartford County is fortunate fin having a sheriff who has always proven to be a friend of the common people, not only in his official con duct, but also as an employer of la bor, previous to his election. Under the administration of his predecessor, who IS now his opponent for re-elec- ton, the OthCerS employed at the County Jail were working a seven day week of seventy-hve to eighty hours. It may be said to the credit of Sheriff Gabb, that one of his first official acts was the establishment of a six day week, a reduction of the working hours and an increase of sal ary to all county employees under his jurisdiction. He has not only inn proved the condition under which his subordinates labor, but has also i'm proved the sanitary conditions, and has humanized the conditions at the jail in general.
 His administration has been char acterized by fairness, courtesy, hu manity and common sense, and merits the endorsement of every man or woman who hopes for human pro- gress.
