measure of satisfaction upon the de
velopments in this field and we be-
lieve we may safely look forward to
continuance of that healthy and
constructive trend.
No Standing Still in Labor's World
In the world of life and labor
nothing is static-there is no standing
still. If we are not to go backward,
we must forge onward This we have
done during the year just passed and
this we must do in the year to come
with even greater intelligence, deter
minaton, and vigor. We are each
day convincing the wage earners of
our country of the supreme necessity
of trade union organization. We are
likewise convincing great numbers of
those who are not wage earners in "a
similar manner, thus building up a
sustaining body of opinion for pro-
gressive, democratic, and constructive
effort"
American Labor for Democracy
In section of the report devoted to
'lndustry's Path of Progress" the ex-
ecutive council says:
1--WE take pride in calling attention
| IN this report to the declaration in
cluded in our report to the Portland
convention in which was set forth the
pathway along which, we are con-
vinced, the development of industry
and of industrial freedom must be
sought
1--WE pointed out the fact that
American labor has from the Begin
ming been committed to the ways of
democracy and that its effort always
has been to develop democratic prac-
tees. In SO far as autocracy in in
dustry has given way to democracy
there has been a development of hu-
man freedom and right adjustment
of human relations. In SO far also,
there has been an approach to the
solution of important problems of
production
again we repeat, there is no other
way by which we may approach the
ideal which all labor holds up as its
goal.
Industry Must Solve Own Problems
Industry must find its own way
! through the difficulties with which it
is beset. There is no outside agency,
governmental or otherwise, which may
be called in as a physician to cut
away the entanglements. Industry,
we repeat, must solve its own prob
lens, or we face the alternative of
state intrusion which must inevitably
lead to bureaucracy and breakdown.
! Democracy can not come into indus
try through the state. Any effort in
that direction results in bureaucracy
and destruction of democracy.
'But we must point out and we
wish to emphasize the point beyond
mistake-the road to democracy in in
dustry is not road that labor alone
can travel. Democracy in industry
implies and involves the participation
of every useful element in industry.
/ while there are large groups OF
employers that still hold to the des.
potic attitude which denies to labor
even its most elemental and funda.
mental rights, progress toward de-
mocracy is being made.
Labor Ready to Move Forward
"We have pledged our faith in the
principle of democracy in industry, as
in political life We have gone for
ward as rapidly as it has been pos

dams were constantly moving about
the building of the mounds were in all
probability participated in by num-
Der of different tribes.
These mounds were not built for
burial or other purposes as the name

the European would call kitchen mid
dies in reality merely lare refuse heaps
where the Shells. bones. etc, were
thrown after their contents had been
used as food.
instruments Found
A very large quantity of flint imple-
mentS were found, at least 20 per cent
of which were broken supposedly in the
opening of the muscle shells after they
had been boiled or cooked. A quantity
of deer bones were also found and a
large number of pieces of antler which
were worked for use in various pur-
poses. Many of these antler pieces
have small round holes worked in them,
evidently for use as handles for the long
bone needles or picks, others with larger
holes possibly serve as handles for the
Stint knives and other instruments. 1mr
pliments of bone, beads and other, relics
have been. unearthed, also a quantity
of pottery, but none of these excepting
that The workmanship is in a majority
Of cases very poor, thus indicating a
low mentality, gives any inkling as TO
the time of making. That the Indians
of that day were great travellers is
indicated by the small conch shells,
which originated in tropical waters and
due to their beautiful colorings were
used as beads. ~
The larger of the mounds being ex-
plored is $50 feet long by 1876 feet
across and 8 feet deep at the highest
point. This means at least five or six
thousand cubic feet of nearly all shell,
as very little dirt is found mixed with
the shells.
= Another of these mounds located on
what is known as the Wheeler place,
above Dam No. 3 will be explored by
Mr.. Fowkes If it is found possible to do
so before it is inundated, the extent of
this exploration will depend upon the
finding of date of historic value con-
cernng the mitigation and previous oc-
eupancy by the Indians.
This work was undertaken by the
government at the instigation of the
Tennessee Valley Historical society,
which is doing much toward the preserv-
ng or the many things of historical
value to be found in this section of the
state.
