The Pressing Necessity for
Workmen Combining for
Protection.
Binghamton, N. T., Sept 5. In his
address at the Labor day celebration
here yesterday, Frank A. Morrlaon,
secretary of the American Federation
of Labor, aald:
"Antaitontem ty hostile associations
of employers toward the men of labor
la a potent argument for the trade
unions. It clearly depicts the strug
gle and emphasizes the pressing ne
cessity of workmen combining for
mutual protection. To stunt and re
tard the growth of our movement,
every means which can be conceived
by subtle minds has been Invented.
In an open and fair contest before
the bar of public- opinion, even with
an unfair press, the cause of labor
has steadily advanced. With the full
knowledge of this, these antagonistic
organisations of employers, driven
with desperation, having no regard
for the inherent Mgr-ta of men, or
any form of law, are aeeUlnr by
various means to destroy the organ
izations of labor. To make false and
criminal charges without any fouif-
datlon whatever, appears to be their
present mode of warfare.
"In the kidnapping of the Mc
Namaras. taking them by force, with
out complying with even the simplest
forms of law, transporting them
across the country, Is apparently con
sidered by the men committing thin
outrage as permissible. These em
ployers' associations do not hope for
a Hnal conviction of the men charged,
their purpose being to cast odium on
our entire movement They appar
ently are determined by fair meann
nr foul, to strike union labor fatal
blow. In this the present difficulty,
the members of labor organisations
of our country should, with one ac
cord, resolve to give to the full limit
of their ability a sufficient amount of
funds to guarantee to the McNamuras
a fair and impartial trial.
"The chief question of Interest to
the trust today is how they can pre
vent their employee from becoming
members of unions, thus minimizing
the possibility of a demand being
made upon them for an Increase In
wages .or shorter hours of labor. The
trust are employing the ablest men
that money can secure, to perfect
plana to more effectively bind the
Workers to the. Industry. One of the
most plausible and at the same time
most vicious system that the repre
sentatives of great corporations, are
trying to fasten upon the workers at
the present time, is the so-called divi
dend scheme, a scheme in which the
employes cannot make a suggestion.
either as to wages, hours or hare of
the profit. This scheme of the trusts
to hold their employes in particularly
interesting, when it is known that a
roll call of the corporations that favor
the system will reveal the facts that
they are the corporations and trusts
that have absolutely refused to per
mit their employes to organise, aye,
more, they have demonstrated their
willingness to expend millions of dol
lars to keep their employes as help
less to change the eondittons under
whldh they labor, as the slaves were
helpless to do other than the bidding
of their masters. Some will say there
is a difference that the employes of
the trust can quit and look for work
elsewhere, whila the slave could not
hut I ask you where can these men
secure other employment when you
take Into consideration the constant
influx of over a million aliens a year.
About 260.000 men are working for
the steel trust few, If any of those
men are today members of a trade
union. The steel trust in the late
strike defeated he union. .The Influx
of aliens constantly coming to our
shores to secure employment at any
price, because they must live. Is used
as a club by the trusts to prevent
men from quitting work for fear that
they cannot secure employment elsewhere."

Carrying out the new road policy,
determined on some weeks ago, by
which the important highways of the
county are to be built and Improved
by contract labor, the board of county
commissioners has awarded the con-,
tract for grading certain portions of
the Iturnsvilie road, from Btocksvltle
to Democrat, to J. M. Ramsey and
Capt. Corpening, both well known
contractors of the city. The work la
to begin within ten days and la to be
completed within lit days. The con
tract only calls for heavy grading
where the road has been re-located.
The distance between these twx
places Is about live miles and It Is
one of the most Important roads In
the county. Part of the road, on the
Democrat end, has been graded by
the convicts and the work of surfac
ing this part with send-clay Is to begin
at once. The people of the section
through which the road passes will be
employed to do some of the work It
they so deelre.
' Borne months ago a movement was
started to have the commissioners
borrow money to put the roads of the
county In shape, It being evident that
;the convict force Is not sufficient to
'bull1? the roads that are needed and
keep the present roar's In repair. The
commissioners decided not to borrow ;
