In November, 1903, in Faneull hall Boston, the American Federation ot Labor organized the National Women"1 Trade Union league. Early in Its his tory the American Federation of Lu bor declared in favor of political equal ity for women, and the first presiden tial report urged the Importance and necessity of their industrial organiza tion. The labor leaders of the United States were among the first to recog nize the share of women In industrial democracy and called the working wo men of America to the double task of working for civic and Industrial free dom. In 1903 they decided that these results could best be attained by as organization of women working in co operation with the American Federa tion of Labor for these specific pur poses. The organization of the Na tional Women's Trade Union league was quickly followed by the establish ment of local leagues In Boston, New York and Chicago, and today there are in addition local leagues in St Louis and Kansas City, Mo.; Springfield, 111.; Denver and Baltimore. Each local league becomes a center of effort for the improvement of the condition of working women through organisation and legislation. For centuries women have looked upon their problems as personal, to be met and solved only by each as an in dividual. But when the introduction of machinery carried her work from the home to the mill woman learned that her problem was a social one, to be mastered only by collective action. When in the further development of machinery the work of a skilled artisan could be replaced by an untrained wo man or girl plus the machine, and in dividual bargaining became a menace to the social order by her Inability to secure a fair wage and need forced her to become an underbldder In the labor market then education and equipment in organization and citizenship for working women became a social ne cessity. While the need of organiza tion is imperative with an army of 7,000,000 women workers, of whom 3,000,000 are under twenty-one years of age, education Is also essential. To teach girls of fourteen receiving -6 cents an hoar and women working for $3 a week the true value of their labor power; to show and interpret to them the tragedy of the underbldder and the certainty with which low wages react in injury to women and the rain of the home; to develop a sense of group fel lowship and responsibility for work ing conditions in their factory and trade; to help the average working girl to feel that upon her knowledge, courage and co-operation depend her personal welfare and the welfare of her fellow workers such was the work of the Women's Trade Union league in Its early years. The first answer of the rank and file of the working girls to this call for a larger life of freedom, opportunity and self government was the epoch making strikes, beginning with the shirt waist workers in New York and Pbiladelphlu and sweeping nearly every industrial center. Grim and terrible as a atrlkt may be as an expression of protest. It is nevertheless the outward and visible sign of a miracle in the human soul To strike against antl-aoclal working conditions when all other means fall. to suffer If need be from hunger and cold and to keep faith with one's fel lows in this struggle after better hu man life which all shall share, Is a final expression of courage and char acter In the world ef labor. The vic tories won In these struggles have not only wiped out sweating conditions la many trades and helped to standardise labor la Important Industries, bat front the beat of these conflicts hat been forged a new and able Insdersblp among the working women tf Ameri ca.

It was announced that the work of laying the six Inch macadam or stone founda tion by convicts will iKgln this fall and be continued next spring when the actual work of re-building the highway is started by the contractors. In awarding the contract to the Crinkley company, their bid of 61 cents per square yard for penetration method and 72 cenU for the mixing method, each to be one half, was ac cepted. The contractors are to givt a bond approved by a committee com posed of N. A. Reynolds, chairman, Charles 'H. Neil and George S. Pow ell, for the faithful performance of the contract. Bonds for $75,000 will be Issued for the re-buildlng of the road and they are to .be in denominations of $500 and $1,000, to run for 30 years and draw interest at the rate of five per cent per annum, payable semi-annual ly. The county treasurer was lnstruot- ea to advertise in the local papers and In the Bond Buyer of New York for 30 days prior to December 15, next, when the bids for the purchase of the bonds will be opened, the board retaining the right to reject any or all. The matter of cettlng the Ashe vllle-Weaverville highway rebuilt, has been agitated here sometime and sev eral months ago George S. Powell, af ter conferring with several people im.eresT.ea in ine matter circulated a petition on which he raised about $5,000 to be turned over to the board for payment on the work. When the matter was brought Up before the board an advisory committee Was ap pointed to investigate the best ways ano means for re-bullding the high way and Mr. Powell, as a member of the committee visited several eastern cities and studied road building in many places. On his return here he submitted his report to the committee and it In turn was sumbltted to the board. A large number of contractors have submitted bids on the proposl tlon of re-bullding the highway and it was only after careful consideration of all methods, ways and means and bids that the advisory committee made their final recommendations to the board this morning, all of which were readily accepted by the commis sioners. It Is planned by the committee and the board to make the road the best In this section of the state if not in the south and a model for which road builders in all sections of the country can point to. The need for a new road to Weaverville has long been felt and several times the matter has been ag itated In one way or another, but not until the board appointed the advis or ycommlttee to assist them did these efforts take definite form. The Weaverville road is the main highway connecting Ashevlile with the northern section of the county and the Madison county trade coming this way uses this road. In order to stimulate this trade and help other people In that section who desired to do trading In Asheville It was realised that the road must be re-built or Im proved to such an extent that It would almost be a new road. Travel over the road is perhaps the heaviest in the county. The grading to be done on the new highway will be very small, as the eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee JUSTICE FOR LAntOR.
