PEACE BETWEEN
CAPITAL-LABOR
This The Mission Of New Society
Now Being Formed In United
States

CHICAGO Sept. l. - To close
forever the widening breach be
tween capital and labor" Is the main
purpose Of the Society Of American
Commonwealth which recently re-
ceived its charater as corporation un-
der the laws of illinois for the pur-
pose Of formulating an organization
throughout the United States.
"Our work is such that we an
not admit to our membership those
who belong to labor unions or those
known as the capltalistic class en-
ploying labor" states a booklet is
sued by the society, i'll which its
principles are outlined. we do this
that we may be able freely and
boldly to hold the scales between
them"
Men and womed 0. American citi-
zenship and eighteen years or more
in age are eligible to membership.
The society is not incorporated for
profit.
This society is an outgrowth of
the numerous strikes that have beset
this country and which we believe
are fraught with grave peril to the
nation" said Marvin v Hinshaw,
founder and Supreme Commoner.
'The object is to awaken the
great masses to dangers we are fac
ing because of wasteful, useless,
havoc-making strikes such as the coal
strike. rail strike, the recent ear
strike in Chicago and many other
forms of industrial warfare through
out the country.
Through all these ordeals the
public, bearing the brunt Of the bur
den, has gone on watchfuily waiting
with saint-hke patience This is
not a all to arms nor the views OF
alarnrists. We believe it is high tlme
that the public so organize that its
sentiments may crystalline into n
stern and powerful voice that will
become so effective that these USE
less industrial conflicts may be
doomed"

BILE Minded located, at GraceWood,

VETERANS HEAR
HARDWICK IN
SPEECH
Explains Why 1t Was Necessary
To Veto Recent Pension
Bill

PELHAM, September 1.-(Spe-
cial to the Times-R -Recorder.) I'm
few audiences addressed by Cover
nor Hardwick during his campaign
for reelection has there been as
many confederate veterans as faced
him when he spoke here this morn
ing and as if approaching this fact
the governor appeared to give more
than usual emphasis to the question
Of confederate pensions. He went into
details to explain mis- veto of the
new pension appropriation bill which
action, he said, had been deliberately
miscOnstrued and mis-represented in
some quarters. The governor de-
clared that what had really been
done was that he had vetoed bill
which proposed to pay 81 ,250,000 a
wear to three new classes Of pension
ers, namely; wealthy veter ans wild
oWs who had married veterans long
after the Ciyil War and veterans
who had gone to the war from other
states, but who now happened to be
residents Of Georgia. He said that
then if the wisdom Of such appro-
pfiati6ns were not questioned there
was no money in the treasury with
which to pay them and there was
none in sight.
70 have approved such an appro-
priation bin with the states treasury
empty would not only have been a
deception practiced upon the old
veterans who would have expected
pensions they could not be paid but
such action would have REFLECTED
upon the honor and integrity of the
state by imposing an obligation
which it could not and would not
pay, asserted the governor.
The governor called attention to
the fact that his veto of the bill did
not take any Of the old pensioners
off the rolls. He said there were
ten thousand of the old class vet
Grams, all of whom had been paid
already, pensions for this year
amounting to $100 each and aggre-
eating r$I,0OO,000. He said these
pensioners would continue to receive
their pensions each year. The gov
ernor declared that when he took
office the state was facing a deficit
of about $3,OOo,OO0, most Of which
was to the confederate veterans for
pensions and to hte school teachers
for back salaries. He said he was
compelled to discount the Western
and Atlantic rental notes for pc
riod of five years in order to pull the
state out of the hole.
