Textile Workers Ask
Release From Bondage

Salisbury, N. C.-In a plea to the
pulpit, press and women of the Caro-
linas for assistance, the textile work
ers' joint council declares that there
are nearly 100000 men, women and
children in the mills and factories Of
North Carolina "who are not allowed
to advance as the balance of the state
advances. They are not allowed to
live like other citizens live. They are
denied the opportunities of the larger
life that other citizens enjoy"
The textile mills of North Carolina
employ the largest single group Of
people in this commonwealth, but
they are not permitted to function as
citizens, the workers state.
"Their economic condition has been
such that as a group they have grown
up in illiteracy. These textile work
ers have no self-determination in
their own lives. They are at the
mercy of employers who dictate the
terms of employment and through
ownership of the workers houses die
tate the lives of these employees.
"There can be no pride in citizen
ship when people are thus controll-
ed"

con international issues, this
platform does not conform to lab
or's proposals, but it does more
fully than any other political plat
form meet labor's views in relation
to domestic economic issues" the
executive council said.
"Our course is clear. In point
ing to platform and records of the
Independent candidates, we do so
with the confidence that no other
course can be pursued if we are to
remain true to our convictions and
our traditions"
In language that can not be mis-
understood, the executive council
defines the lines along which the
trade union movement will operate
in this campaign. Labor will not
be an adjunct to any group nor
will it surrender its non-partisan
status because it favors the candi-
dacy of Senator La Toilette and
Senator Wheeler.
"Co-operation hereby urged"
the executive council said, "is not
a pledge of identification with an
Independent movement or a third
party, nor can it be construed as
support for such a party, group or
movement except as such action ac
cords with our partisan politi-
cal policy.
Neither can this cooperation
imply our support, acceptance or
Endorsement of politics or princi
Piles advocated by any minority
groups Or organizations that may
see fit to support the candidates.

BlOOdhOundS For
EviCted Miners

Charleston, w. Va.-Coal own
ers in the Kanawha district are
using bloodhounds against striking
employees.
The workers are urging a wage
agreement similar to the Jackson
vile agreement. Kanawha miners
have been on a strike since April
l. Determined to break the spirit
of these workers, the coal owners
are evicting families without re
gard for legal procedure.
A thug band, recruited in this
city, swept into Winifrede with
high-powered cars on their eject
ment mission They were armed
with rifles, and had three blood
hounds with them. The inhabi-
tants were terrorized while the
thugs threw furniture and other
belongings of miners upon the
highway.
Percy Tetlow, president of Dis
trictp II, United Mine Workers,
calls attention to the coal owners
disregard of law. They know that
the state law provides methods OF
procedure in such cases, and they
know it is unlawful to employ arm
ed guards or detectives without
authority of the law, said President
Tetlow.

Cut in Mine Wages
Only Aids Employers

Mine workers should
not be fooled by wage-reduction of
fers, warns Editor Searles of the
United Mine Workers Journal.
Some of the most notorious anti
union4fields have posted wage reduc-
tions. These miners are now receiv-
ing less money, but are not working
any longer. Editor Searles points out
that these concerns make no guaran-
tee that employees will have more reg
ular employment with the lower
wages.
"Neither do they propose to sell
coal for less than before they reduced
wages" said the labor editor. at is
evident that the only object these
companies have is to reduce produc-
ton costs and pocket the savings as
additional profit 1t is the old game
that is frequently worked by that
class of coal companies. They know
that once the men are organized and
in position to deal collectively they
will not submit to such practices"

One Of our exchanges contains the
following pertinent article relative to
the present political situation, which
is SO full Of wisdom that the Leader
reproduces it for the benefit of its
readers:
1t is not a little disheartening for
our financial leaders and our Govern
ment to have a rebellious third party
movement to contend with during
these days Of stress and uncertainty.
The two old and regular parties had
nominated safe and sane candidates,
men who could be trusted to follow
the advice Of experienced financiers.
But now comes the Progressive party,
under the leadership of a man heart
lily hated by big finance, and threat
ems to cause trouble.
For time it appeared as if the La
Toilette Wheeler rebellion could be
treated with contempt. So many
radical" and "Bolshevist" organiza-
tions declared in it's favor that it was
fondly expected that decent people
would have absolutely nothing to do
with it. But, 10 and behold, the pow
erful American Federation of Labor
comes out boldly and declares that
the Republican convention treated
labor with shameless arrogance and
that the Democrats sought to deceive
labor with evasive insincerity, but La
Toilette and Wheeler are praised as
men with good record and worthy of
labor's whole-hearted support.
"a kingdom for a horse" yelled
some old king who loved his life bet
ter than his crown. Oh, what would
not Wall Street give if it had only
one horse running instead of two. If
only either Coolidge or Davis could
be eliminated altogether Then all
the efforts of high finance could be
centered on the one candidate and the
defeat of La Toilette would be assur-
ed. AS it is now, the forces on which
success depends are divided and arti-
ficially hostile, and there is no hope
of repairing the breach. Republicans
and Democrats will devour each other
La Toilette and labor will profit by

BLIND JUSTICE

Queer things happen daily in this
community and a fellow has almost
ceased to be surprised at anything.
But one Of the very queerest was
pulled off not long since in the mu-
nicipal court where, according to a
newspaper story. a fellow was found
guilty of getting tanked up and beat
ing his wife so thoroughly that she
had to be taken to a hospital for
treatment. And he got $500 and
costs.
A day or two later some poor devil
was found guilty in the same court
of having in his possession two meas
ley half pints of rotton imitation of
poor whiskey, and forsooth, he was
soaked to the tune of $500 and costs.
SNot being able to cash up, insult was
added to injury by ordering him
locked up until he dug up what he
owed.
The blindfolded lady in Grecian
costume is sure an appropriate en-
blem of modern justice, for she can
see nothing, not even the scales of
justice she is holding aloft.

WHY LABOR SUPPORTS
LA TOILETTE

The outstanding reason why
labor supports the Independent
candidacy of La Toilette and
Wheeler is because their platform
more nearly represents labor's de-
mands, and because "Mr. La Fol
lette and Mr.. Wheeler have,
throughout their whole political
careers, stood steadfast in defense
of the rights of the wage earners
and the farmers"
The two major parties, the A. F.
of l.. executive council declares,
"are in a condition of moral bank
ruptcy which constitutes a menace
and a peril to our country and its
institutions"
Machine politicians have
brought upon our country moral
obliquity and unashamed betray

tions Haunted the desires of labor,

LABOR'S POLICY
LA TOILETTE WELCOMES THE
A. F. OF l.. ENDORSEMENT
Organized Labor Owes No Allegiance
to Any Political Party--Is Under
No Obligation to Any of Them

Atlantic City--In a message to
President Gompers, Senator La Fol
lette indicates a thorough knowledge
Of labor's non-partisan political pol
icy. If this system were generally
followed, the senator said, it would
make the government of our country
what it was intended to be.
II desire to express my deep APP
probation for the action taken by the
American Federation of Labor in in
dorsing the independent candidacy of
Senator Wheeler and myself" Sen
ator La Toilette said. "In taking this
step after deliberate judgment, the
A. F. of l.. has adhered to it's tradi-
tional non partisan policy.
"The importance of the support by
the A. F. of l.. for the progressive
ticket cannot be overestimated. Your
executive committee, in stating the
American Federations political pur-
pose, says:
"Organized labor owes allegiance to
no political party or group. 1t is not
partisan to any political party or
group. 1t is partisan to principles
the principles of freedom, justice and
democracy"
at seems to me that in this brief
paragraph you have set forth creed
of citizenship which, if accepted and
acted upon by the great body of COM
mon citizens, would rapidly make the
government of our country what it
was intended to be-the peoples own
instrument of service.

ed my accord with the aspirations of
American wage earners, as represent
ed by the American Federation Of
Labor. | welcome this Endorsement.
"To break the combined power Of
selfish interests upon government is
the paramount issue of this campaign,
and with the support of organized lab
or, the farmers, business men, pro-
fessional men and all other men and
women whose sole interest in govern
ment is that of good citizenship,
feel confident we shall win"

HERE THEY ARE
BOUQUETS AND BRICKBATS ARE
DISTRIBUTED
COmmendatiOn and Criticism Handed
Out PrOmiscuOusly as Deemed
Just by Our Hired Man
THEY'RE LYING ABOUT FRITZ

Some persons with malicious intent
are circulating stories detrimental to
Sheriff Vogelmeier, charging he is
negligent in the discharge of his Of
ficial duties and is guilty of discrim-
ination in arresting or failing to ar
rest viOlators of the law. One speci-
fic instance was called to the "Hired
Mans" notice. 1t was alleged that a
call for official protection against a
supposed threatened danger Of trou-
ble near JOhnstown was ignored. This
is not so, as couple of deputies were
dispatched to that neck of the woods
Immediately upon receipt of the re-
quest. But there was nothing doing
requiring their services.
This and many other similar state
ments are simply lies, manufactured
out of the whole cloth for the express
purpose Of queering Fritz in his race
for second term of the office he has
so faithfully, honestly and efficiently
filled for the past two years. We
have had many good sheriffs during
the past quarter of a century, but
none of them have put in a greater
snumber of hours out of each twenty
four in actual honest hard work than
has Sheriff Vogelmeier and his eff
cient corps of deputies.

LOOKS LIKE STALLING

Wonder if somebody is sidestepping
on the job of putting our fire alarm
bell in working order, or have they
struck a snag and are unable to get
away with the undertaking?
The people were satisfied when
their demand to restore the bell to
its old position on the fire tower was
complied with, but they are now Won
dering why the job is not finished.
1t seems as if before doing any
thing now days the advice of a
bunch of experts was necessary, and
if the complete restoration of our
bell to its former useful career of
requires such action, better go to it
Immediately.

Many Mine Deaths
From Poor Apparatus

Washington - Five hundred coal

statement by the bureau.

ginia," says the report, twas the
probable cause of the death of 27 min
ers. A half-safe type of electrical
coalcutting machine used in a gaseous
mine in Pennsylvania was the prob
able cause of the death of sc men.
An unapproved, unsafe type of flame
safety lamp used in a gaseous and
dusty mine in Utah was the alleged
cause of the death of III men. All
three disasters happened within the
past six months, and would seem to
have been avoidable if proper equip
ment had been used"
So far as known, no disasters have
been caused by sparks or flashes
from equipment that has been ap,
proved by the bureau.
While the report does not say so,
it is evident that the reason why safe
equipment is not installed in the
mines is that this installation would
reduce the net profits of the opera
tors for few months.
