NORTH CAROLINA
GOVERNOR FIGHTS
LABOR UNIONS
Mclean Is Open Shop
Cotton Boss
By ART SHIELDS

RALEIGH, N. c., July 8 (FP).-
Angus w Mclean runs his Robert
son County cotton mills on the
open-shop plan AS democratic gov
ernor of North Carolina he is an
open-shopper, likewise, and is now
in a controversy with union labor
over the state printing. The S140,-
900 a year contracts for cards and
letterheads, departmental and legal
reports and other official publica-
tions have been taken from the
Raleigh shops, where half of the
work was done by union printers.
and parcelled out to five rat shops,
one of which is located in Fort
Wayne, Ind.
The loss of this work has been
severe blow to the Raleighmen.
They see the state sending $4,000
a year to a scab firm in Indiana
and the rest of the printing budget
nurturing open-shop employers in
Durham, Winston Salem, Oxford
and New Bern in North Carolina.
Claims Money Saved
"The governor says he is giving
a business administration and saw
ing money for the state" said one
Of the Raleigh union employers,
"but the commission of labor and
printing has not yet offered any
figures to show that this is the
case"
Light on this business admins
tration," as exemplified by Franz
D. Grist, commissioner of labor and
printing and an anti-labor man, is
shed by Lawrence E. Nichols, ed
itor of the Raleigh Union Herald.
Nichols was assistant commissioner
of this department under a former
administration and he tells how lie
used t. save the taxpayers as much
as $4,000 a year by auditing the
bills submitted by printing shops
handling the work, and striking out
padded items. Grist lets this stuff
go by.
The governors practice of using
convict labor on public buildings has
brought complaints and appeals
from the building trades unionists,
to no use. There is no coal miners
union in the two coal mines of North
Carolina to protest against Nc
Leans barbarous leasing of convicts
to the coal operators-an evil just
discontinued by Alabama-but the
state federation of labor and the
Piedmont Organizing Council have
lifted their voices against it.
Mclean, like Coolidge, is contin-
ually urging Economy" On this
plea he recently cut the wages Of
tbs Negro poTters in state build
ings, while at about the same time
his state council was appropriating
$4,000 to purchase a silver service
for his dinner table. Earlier in his
administration the sum of $4,000
from the public funds was laid out
in splitting up the executive mansion
before the first lady of the state
would consent to move in from Rob-
crtson County.
McIean's successor in the new
term that begins next January is
o. Max Gardner, who ignored la
bor's interrogations eight years ago.
This year Gardner won the demo
cratic primary contest, which is
equivalent to election. Gardner
comes from Cleveland County, where
he is president of one cotton mill
company and director in three 9TH
crs, president of the local chamber
of commerce and a Sunday school
teacher.

abandon as to facts that is amusing,

public, and fortunately there is a
growing disposition to give due credit
for any achievement that looks to the
public welfare.
This makes it certain that, in the
present campaign, the facts relative
to the tariff will become better known
and a judgment based upon careful
consideration will result in the public

THE INCREASING NON-VOTING
CLASS.

Organizations on political party lines
called "get-out-the-vote" clubs, are
being pushed for the November cleo
ton.
In six states the last chance to
register is already past and in 81
states registry rights expire 80 days
before election.
In a few states there is permanent
registration for property owners whose
taxes are paid-Indiana has repealed
it's registration laws.
In many state registered voters
lose their rights if they omit voting a
certain number of times in each bien-
NAL period.
The enormous volume Of state and
federal laws relating to naturalization,
registration, primaries and elections
proper, have all tended to increase
the non-voting class.
Doing away with manhood suffrage
and increasing the obstacles, difficult
ties and voting requirements cause
uncertainty and chaos with the result
that in many instances a minority OF
voters control election results.

SAVINGS THROUGH BOND ISSUE.

If there is any man in Minnesota
who knows his business it is G. NJ.
Babcock. When he presents matter
he has the figures to back up his
contention. We are speaking partic-
ularly of his argument for the bond
issue. A man whom we admire be-
cause he is always open to conviction
remarked to us short time ago that
the twenty million dollar bond issue
proposed would pave only 200 miles of
road and that the amount of inter-
est required would pave that much,
without loading the taxpayers with
debt. Mr.. Babcock says that such an
issue would pave 1000 miles in the
next two years, instead of 200 because
the heaviest travelled roads would be
paved first, making saving of mil
lion year in maintenance. He pro-
poses to set aside a sinking fund to
take care of the bonds, with no in
crease in the license fees, and none of
it to be paid from the tax on real
estate. In fifteen years the net in
terest on the bonds would be $6,14O, 900
but $15,000,000 would be saved in
maintenance which would make a net
saving of $8,86O,OO0 which could be put
on further improvements. Car owners
would not pay cent more than at
present, property owners would not be
liable for one cent of it. We know
absolutely that the average person
who is against the bond issue has
never taken the trouble to inform
himself; he takes it for granted that
it will be taxed against his land. Why,
Q why cannot we give such a PROPOSE
ton an honest hearing when it means
so much for the prosperity of the
state.-Windom Citizen.

TUBERCULOSIS CLAIMS
MISS ANGELA PLUTH.

The Miner inadvertently failed to
announce the death of Miss Angela
Pluth which occurred on August 9th
of tuberculosis after an illness of sew
eral years. Miss Pluth had been a
patient at Nopeming for some time
and felt improved sufficiently to re-
turn to her home in this city. She
grew constantly worse several weeks
ago and was arranging to return to
Nopeming when the end came quite
suddenly.
She would have been 18 years of
age had she lived until October 81,
this year. She was a graduate of the
Ely schools and was favorite with a
large list of friends The funeral was
held from the Catholic church on
Monday Sept. 8. She is survived by her
mother and one sister.
