Tbinking his statement to Mr..
1oolor would be interesting to the
henderson public, Mr.. Shaw today
f,,rnished the Dispatch copy of his
,a+tor for publication. 1t follows:
The officers of this club regret eX-
caedinelv that they did not know of
,.our visit to our club yesterday; it
800 often that such a distinguished
oc+s writer visits us and we would
,;I,od IN have shown you some cour-
+osies and told you the history of
onr club. which is unique and perhaps
uewsworthy.
"Fifteen years ago, one of our cit
i7ens. Mr.. James H. Brodie. was in
moor health and after consulting spe-
cialists was told to keep in the open
as mich as possible and golf was sug-
oosted The nearest golf course was
fiftv miles away so Mr.. Brodie decid-
od 70 build a private course, after he
had spent many thousands of dollars
in completing the course, some of the
Younger citizens approached him with
the view of forming golf club and
make the course available to larger
number of our townspeople; Mr..
Rrodie not only agreed but offered
10 turn over the property, consisting
of 81 acres and the improvements he
had made to a club that was organic
cd An equitable amount was agreed
upon as the purchase price of the pro-
pertv and fifty year 6 percenD bonds
issued these bonds to be cancelled as
to principal at the expiration of a GER
tain period; Mr.. Brodie then donat-
ed the bonds to charity in this county
TO provide an emergency fund to he
dispensed by the welfare officer and
special charity board organized for
that purpose.
THE annual interest charge on
these bonds is proportional among
all the members and each pays a pro-
rate share into this charity fund; in
this way and by the unusual set up
of the clubs finances, it is in excellent
condition-something unusual with
small clubs.
Another unique feature is that Mr..
Brodie is now building, at his own ex-
pense, nine additional tees which will
make the outside nine entirely a diff
ferent layout from the inside nine
with only nine grasses to keep up.
The inside nine is 2,756 yards with a
PAR of 35, the outside nine is 1850
yards with the same par, making the
entire course 5,736 yards with par
of TO- and hard par it is.
Until a little over a year ago we
had sand green's, at that time Mr..
Brodie offered to put in grass greens
and tees if the club would supply the
necessary water system, which was

Edison Industries
Recognize Union

West Orange, N. ]. (ILNS)-The
United Electrical and Radio Workers
has been recognized by the Thomas
A. Edison Industries, Inc, as the bar
gaining agency for all its members
working in the company's plant. The
recognition came through confer
ence between the union leaders and
the company management. The
UERW is a CIO affiliate.
William Mitchell, national organ
izer for the union, says that a vast
majority of the $500 workers in the
Edison plant are members of the
union. a canvas will be made to de-
termine their exact number before a
program of wages and hours is sub
nitted to the company officials.

All expressed their liking for Eng

which struck them hardest with the
extraordinary contrast between rich
and poor in England. All were shocked
by this contrast. The Norwegian said
that there was no wealthy class in
Norway, and the Swedish woman said
that Sweden had no slums.
Seldom have ever felt the i'm
pact of three opinions as on this occa-
sion," writes Hackett. "The speak
ers 4. were predisposed in favor of
the English. They found the English
as likable as they had expected. But
England's economic system, as con-
trasted with Scandinavia's, hit them
bewteen the eyes. They were not
merely surprised. They were shocked.
They were appalled,. They were hor-
rified."

ACTION TAKEN
To Prevent Strike Delays
On Schools

New York City (ILNS)-The Board
of Education of this city has adopted
building contract with a clause de-
signed to prevent strikes on school
buildings. The clause is as follows:
"The contractor shall not have
work performed or labor or means em-
ployed in the carrying out of this con-
tract that would in any way cause or
result in a suspension, or delay of,
or strike upon the work to be per-
formed hereunder by any of the trades
herein described, or in or about any
other building of the board"
Violation of this clause will put the
contractor in default.
The action of the board followed
and was caused by a recent strike
on three school building projects. Ac-
cording to building trades unions, the
strike had started when fabricators
of structural steel refused to sell
their product to union contractors.
This is an old and common practice,
not only here but in other cities, and
was announced long ago as means
employed by steel fabricators to in
sure that their product should be used
under open shop" conditions.
Ellsworth B. Buck, chairman Of the
committee on buildings and sites, said
that his committee approved the
clause because we believed it a good
idea to get some schools built this
year"
Col Walter j. Carlin, the only
member of the board dissenting, con
force contractors to employ only un-
ion labor.

FRIDAY, MAY Z, 1887
SALARIES OF LABOR OFFICIALS

Anti-union employers and their
publicists frequently charge that la
Dor officials amass fortunes from dues
collected from the rank and file of the
labor movement.
In this connection it is interesting
to note that the estate of the late Ed
ward N. Nockels, who was secretary
of the Chicago Federation of Labor
for 81 years, and manager Of organ
lied labor's broadcasting station
VIGIL of Chicago from its establish
ment, amounted to only $4,000 in
personal property. He owned no real
estate.
Mr.. Nockels' life was devoted to Sc
curing improved living conditions and
other economic rights for working
men and women. He was reputed as
being generous to those in need of
help. And after 81 years as a salar-
led official of the Chieag Federation
of Labor his life savings amounted to
a picayunish sum-little more than
enough to pay the living expenses of
one family for year.
Surely the reward which labor
leaders receive for consecrating their
lives to the welfare of our working
men and women is not of a monetary
character.

fact. The National Plumbing Com
pany, which furnished plumbing and

At the recent meeting of stock
holders of General Motors, one man
with five shares nominated Homer
Martin, president of the United Auto
mobile Workers of America, as di-
rector of General Motors. 81 believe" !"
he said, ''that labor should be repre-
sented on board of directors" But the
official slate went through, and Mar
tin got only the five votes of his NOM
inator.
The idea back of this very minor
stockholders action is sound. Labor
should be represented III industrial
councils. But effective representation
is hardly possible until the whole plan
of corporation rule is changed.
In corporations, shares vote; and
even shares are not always equally
represented. Henry l. Doherty got
100000 special shares of Cities
Service stock for $1,000,000, each
share having one vote; when at that
time, it took five shares of common
stock to cast one vote, and little
later, it took 20 shares to the vote.
In European co-operatives, espe-
cially those of the Scandinavian coun-
tries and England, members vote, and
all have suffrage. One member, one
vote; whether he has one share in the
enterprise, or 100. The cooperative
is democracy. The corporation is a
financial oligarchy.

AMEND WHAT IT CAN'T
DESTROY

In its TRADES about amending the
Wagner labor act, the United States
Chamber of Commerce has achieved
its usual result Of making itself OBJ
noxious and at the same time ridicu-
lous. The Chamber has cultivated the
technique of this double role for
long time, and now is almost perfect
in it.
In the first place, the u S. Cham
Der of Commerce fought the Wagner
act and all that it implies from the
very beginning. Members of the
Chamber refused to obey the deci-
sions of the National Labor Relations
Board; and for month after month,
tied the hands of that board with in
functions. Only after they had failed
in their utmost efforts to destroy the
act did these exponents Of big busi-
ness begin to talk of amending it.
And the difference between destruc-
tion and amendment as they would
have it is too small to be seen without
a microscope.
In the next place, the speeches made
