"JIic jittl iUs:.,T liav i' realized that denial to the workers of right to belong tu a legitimate urcaui ritn.n will only result in driving th" lorkers into another kind of nn organi- a! 0.11, and tliis r.ofli.itioli has caused niany men to stop their fight against this legitimate labor movement, repre uti'd I y the State Federation, irnd this has nialerialtv aided the officials of th State Federation of ljhor. To Fnfopce Child Labor I aw All these questions will bo acted upon ! v the IV.hr.it, on next week, and 1; '.. thought a policy will be outlined, and :r ch'tlh nge issued to the employers and the press of tho State tint, if accepted, will eliminate labor disoutes during the coming; year, rtu.l ona'de North Caro l.ni to ir..gress industrially as never before in the his'ory of the State. the Federation is cspceinHy proud of its'neeortl on ttie nin,tter of child labor h-gislrion. While there are some chil dren yet being' workii;. in violation of the la", the number is squall, and is much mere easily handled that when practically every industry hasl its plant full of little children. Central bodies and local labor unions will be urged to appoint committees in the various cen ters and investigate, and report cases iviere the law is being violated. '' Ministers Change Attitude Another matter that gives great pleas ure to the State body is tho changed attitude of ninny ministers and churches toward the people of labor. It Was the North Curolina Sla-te Federation of Labor, in convention in Raleigh in 1318, that started a mov -incut which has since become nation wide in its scope. A reeolution wa ndoptcd by that eon vention, calling attention to the fact that many ministers were not being allowed to preach the gospel as they desired to preach, because of the Influ ence exerted by wealth over the officers and ministers In the churches. Labor pledged its suport to such ministers as were feeling the effects of such restraint in, tbeir work, and since that time mnv ministers hve been encouraged to preach pne gospel to all.

It is to be a great conven tion, f6r its purpose, is great. Other con-, volitions bold by other interests plan and adopt ways aud menus whereby profits may bo increased!, busines pro moted. Tho Labor Federation eunven t.iin will plan for food and raiment, .shelter and warmth, fur human beings, oilier conventions make plans that will protect property and guarantee divi dt nds fur its membership. The labor convention will plan for the education of tho children of tho masses, for bet l. r opportunities for re illy living, other conventions are (rui'b'd by men who see tho balance sheet iu the books of tho member companies. The labor convention will be controlled by men who are looking out over the sections of tho Cities where livo tho workers, and see the poorly equipped nouses culled honie 'by thoso Who toil. Prejudice Greatest Obstacle. The greatest obstacle in tho way of the convention next week ia that of nreiudiee. Prejudice costs tho Statoof North Carolina more in dollars and cents than all tho fevers, tuberculosis. cattle tick, boll weevil and old rock ouarries combined. Were it nut for prejudice, there could bo established a I, . ding of heartveo operation among the various peoplo of the State that would lav tremendous dividends. All that urciudico is not to be found among the employers. J-nlior is guilty of humor ing it; employers spend bits of money nurturing prejudice; the public, will quit its work just in order to walk around and water the plant 01 pre judice, rrejudico is preached from fcomo pulpits and taught in many school rooms. It is fanned into glowing dairies by men like Dnvid Clark. It is a costly proposition, and every man, iv-oman and child in this Stnte helps to pay the expense bill.' If the State Federation of Ijibor could start the wheels in motion that would replace prejudice with a spiri. of co operation, North Carolina would never stop until it took its rightful place at tho head of all the States tu this na tion. And tho State Federation is rendy 11 d anxious to do that very thing. We know that tho interests of employer and employes aro not identical; we know that their interests nn contrary; wo know also that naturn is tilled with contraries and it is only through co operation that those contraries can pro duce that harmony that will guarantee the snfetv and advancement of a State or Nation. Open Rock Quarry Gates To Everybody This Afternoon o, (Continued i'l-am.rage - One) , it was only 17 feet. The water had turned muddy, gray and dirty looking in place of the bright, clean green "f n week ago. The sides of the pit were nrr Hunger smooth. A million tin tans and scores of tons of junk line them from the first water level down to the shrinking oval of tho pool as it s this morning. Pumps Go Lower. The pumps wero moved down another r"o feet into the pit yesterday morn i and tmiay the same mattoeiiver 11 be niado. The intake pipes must lioiv the level of the water as it 'uinks towunl tho bottom. The mud upon which they were set up lower ! wn yesterday was treacherous, and 1 "anrlio Parmer had the battery tied : i to the bank with heavy ropes until : ' 0 water had gone down again, and t! e ground under the pump foundations dried out. There will be feasting at the quarry at noon today. Captain Christian, sup crintendent of the Prison Farm, has ordered a heavy ration of fried chicken, ice cream, watermelons, and such like things for those of his -prisoners who have labored toward draining the quarry, and for Mr.' Former and the four faithful mechanics who have worked the pumps night and day. There is mention of a barbecue Tuesday noon when Mr. Farmer expects tho whole business to be finished. Work Not Coatly. During a lull in the activities yes tcrday Mr. Fanner figured up the cost of the work thus far done. The en tire undertaking will cost the State less than IW0, and tin Trobabiy fall under the I4O0 mark. These figiire.v take into consideration the labor of prisoners, the wages of State Highway Commission supervision and mcchani enl help, and the cost of gasoline. The work is costing lest than forty dol lars a day. , Original estimates of the cost of drying the quarry ran up to a thous and dollars, and the time of pumping with the smaller pump at work at a week. or more.
