American capital needs a Samuel Gompers to destroy the seeds of German pro paganda that have been sown in cap italistic circles with the object of promoting industrial dissension, in the same way that Gompers has dealt with the promoters of unrest in the American Federation of Labor. The President's Industrial Com mission, headed by Secretary of La bor Wilson, which has Just returned from Its Investigation and settlement of industrial upheavals in the west, discovered, I am reliably informed, that German money and German agents were used not only to pro mote strikes among the workers, but tn InliwiA uivttilrivapa r aeenrri A an arbitrary and provocative attitude toward their employes, with the ob ject of creating bitterness, slowing down production of war materials, and, if possible, starting industrial war. The German agents played both ends of Industry against America. They went among the workers, organized, and unorganized, and said: "Now is your itme to get anything you want. Ten dollars a day; six hours working time; anything you like. America's at war. She has got to have your products, and will pay you what you demand. These fat capitalists are rolling in wealth made out of war profits. Take It sway from them. Strike today, strike tomorrow, and keep on striking un til you drive the bosses out of the saddle." Then they went Into the employ ers' associations, among manufac turers, mine operators and lumber men, and whispered: "Now is your time to teach your workers a lesson and take a fall out of these damna ble union agitators. You've got them on the hip. Suppose they do strike. You can brand them as pro-Germans and traitors, throw their lead ers into jail or deport them, and, If necessary, call out the troops to shoot them down. You will never have another chance like this. Don't let it slip. Refuse to have any dealings (By W. J. Martin) Raleigh, Jan. 18. Governor Bickett Issued today a special appeal to the families and friends of tne NontS Carolina soldiers enlisted in the world war service that they urge upon these soldiers Individually that they lose no time In making the definite applica tion for the. Federal lnsuranoe that the Government Is providing In suius of $1,000 to $10,000 for each soldier In order that they may have this great protection in their war service, & pro tection that the governor urges Is remarkably inexpensive. He points out that the opportunity to take out this insurance will pass February 15 so that there is no time to be lost in making the applications. He quotes a letter from General S. L. Falson, com manding the North Carolina troops at Camp Sevier in which he says that the North Carolina soldiers are alarming ly slow in making application for this insurance: The appeal from the Governor fol lows: To the families and friends of North Carolina soldiers: The civil and military authorities are doing everything in their power to get North Carolina soli.'lers to apply for the amazingly cheap Insurance the Government is offering them, Every officer and enlisted man is entitled to take from one to ten thousand dollars of this Insurance, and it is the su preme duty of every soldier to take advantage of this wonderful oppor. tunity. But, despite the earnest am.' persis tent efforts of the civil and military authorities. North Carolina soldiers are neglecting to take advantage of this great opportunity. General S. I., lviison, Commanding General at Caffip Soviet-, and hltiine.lt a North ( arolinian. deeply interested In the welfare of her soldiers, and in the prosperity ant' happiness of their people at home, writes me as follows: "I regret to inform you that only .about fifty per cont of tills command have taken out any insurance what ever. So far they have turned a deaf ear to all appeals. "I am presenting this matter to you with the hope and expectation that you will co-operate with the govern ment and my own efforts in more effectively reaching the individual soldiers of your own slate by issuing a proclamation or otherwise', .u you may deem best, to the people m your State and more particularly to those (.'ependents and relatives immediately concerned to write letters to their sol dier friends urging them to take out all the insurance they can carry, up to $10,000." I entreat and beseech the families and friends of our soldiers to take vigorous action at once to have the soldiers apply for this insurance. Not a single soldier should be overlooked. If a solder cannot pay tne small premium charged by the government, then let the family and friends of the soldier pay it for him. It is the best Investment on earth. Bear in mind that this opportunity expires on the twelfth day of Febru ary. After that day no soldier can ob tain this government insurance. De lay Is fatal. Act today. T. W. Bickett, Governor.

The Grand Lodge Installed the ne-w officers for the year and adopted resolution appropriating $600 for a Masonte building at Camp Sevier, Oreenvllle, and Inviting Grand Lodges employes Maybe President Wilson had Uils situation in mind when, addressing the A.

Convention, at Buffalo, he said: "You sometimes stop the courses of labor, but there are others who do the same, tand I believe I am speaking not only from my own experience, but from the experience of others when I say that you are reasonable in a larger number of cases than the eapitaJlsU." There Is reason to believe the President may use the report of his Tndustrlal Commission as a "chance" to tell the employing Interests to be ware of German propaganda In their own ranks.
