tude which the board insisted was
union men.
Labor Spokesmen, including Sena-
tor Wagner of New York, ask why
employers should in any way advise
their employees about unionization,
that this is a matter solely between
employees. Employers take the posi-
ton that it is a matter which con-
Germs the welfare of the company and
its opportunity to continue operations
uninterrupted by strikes. In some
instances employers feel that the
union in question has organizers who
are unscrupulous and that the men
are being intimidated and coerced.
Boards Opinion Given.
The National Labor Relations
Board, in its annual report, June,
1896, reveals its own preconceived
position on this point by declaring:
"a very common form of propa-
ganda Is that which attempts to con-
vince employees that 'lnions and union
organizers serve Interior purposes and
are not at all interested in the well
fare of the workers. Thus, employers
frequently denounced unions as
rackets or refer to organizers as
racketeers."
Nowhere in the report is the pos
sibility conceded that some of these
employers may, in certain instances,
be right. Example of racketeer unions
and their activities can be found in
the files Of the Department of JUS
tice. But no employer apparently
may warn his faithful employees
against such abuses just because some
employers in their antagonism to
proper labor organizations overstep
the bounds of propriety.
The cardinal question, however, Is
whether employers have any rights of
free speech where their employees are
concerned, even though their speeches
may be like some of the extreme
speeches heard at Union Square, in
New York, which are close to the
borderline of Indictment to action.
If labor insists that matters be-
tween employees are outside the con-

NEGROES PLANNING
FOR EMANCIPATION
Annual Services in Observance of An
niversary To Be Held Here
Next Sunday

Plans are being made by Negro
leaders of Henderson for the annual
celebration and observance of Eman-
cipation Day, the services to be held
at o'clock Sunday afternoon at the
United Presbyterian church on Nortt.
Chestnut street.
Dr. E. E. Toney, of Oxford, will be
the principal speaker, according to
announced plans. Special music by
various local colored singers is also
planned.
Rev. L. P. Gregg, colored minister,
said in connection with the plans for
the program: "All are urged to at
tend, and especially those who have
any interest in the significance of the
occasion-past, present and future.
The emancipation is the cradle out
of which the Negro race of the coun-
try was born. Out of it sprang what
ever achievements that have come.
Out of it must spring any deliverance
which may yet come to this people.
Every self-respecting Negro can no
more forget emancipation than the
ancient Jew could forget Jerusalem.
He must honor the occasion, if he
doubts that the occasion honors him.
It is American"

SOIL CONSERVATION
VOTE NEARLY UNITY
Only One of 1874 Votes Cast Is In Mega
tive; 227 Were Eligible To
Expression

Final tabulation of the vote of resi-
dents in the territory involved showed
all but one of the 1854 votes cast as
being favorable to the establishment
of a soil conservation district along
the watershed of Tar river, County
Agent J. w. Sanders announced today.
The last votes were taken and the
final results tabulated on Thursday.
A total of 227 families were eligible
to vote, but 63 of them declined to
express their preference.
Establishment of the conservation
district will be a Federal project, and
the district will lie partly in the three
counties of Vance, Granville and
Franklin. The vote was taken by the
sending of government workers in
person to call on all eligible residents
in the area. Granville county COM
pleted it's vote several weeks ago, and
the result was about in line with that
in this county. No statistics have been
received as the result in Franklin
county, hut it is assumed the issue
carried by approximately the same
proportion as in Vance and Granville.

All Henderson and Vance county

active work next Monday following
the Christmas-New Year holidays.
School authorities granted full two
weeks vacation for all the schools, be-
ginning on Friday, December II.
1t is understood one or two Of the
white rural schools operated two or
three days during the pre-Christmas-
day week so as to gain that much
time and permit their closing earlier
in the late spring. Many of the older
children help on the farm during the
planting season.
The full week of holiday respite
from class work enabled many of the
high school boys and girls to obtain
jobs in local stores during the Christ
mas rush and made their own spend
ing money for the holiday period.
Teachers who live away from the
city are beginning to return for the
resumption of school work Monday,
and the entire faculty and the stu
dent personnel will be ready for
classes when the bells ring on Mon
