doiniant feature! of the opening' day
of the - annual eonvontion of the
: North Carolina federation of labor
which opened here today.
. With the president, W JS. Shuping ,
Of Salisbury in the chair the 12th an
nual session of the federation was
called to order in the labor temole
this morniny at 10 o'clock. The see
sion was opened with prayer by Rev.
T. M. Johnson, pastor of the Metho
dist Protestant church ' of this city.
The address of welcome on behalf of
. the city of Asheville was delivered by
Marcus Erwin, city attorney. - ff :
. Mr. Erwin said be would offer the
key to the delegates but it had been
thrown away, so all ho could do was
to say that Asheville ia in the hands
of the state federation of labor.; ;-
Mayor Rankin, Mr. Erwin stated,,
could sot be present, and had asked
Mr. Erwin to welcome the delegates
to Asheville.' Mr. Erwin spoke of the
wonderful part labor is taking .in the
winning of the war, and he especially
impressed upon hi hearers the great
part North Carolina labor U taking ip
the war.- .'.; -v-.-H ".- '
The welcome address, on behalf of
organized labor in Asheville, was de
livered by Janes F. Barrett, president
ofc the JV6hevi!le Printers' union, and
in part he said: . N . .
"1.1 behalf of organized labor in
this city, I welcome -you. On behalf
of our abct members, wha are with

leave undone one single thing, that
will not meet with the full approval
of those boys when they return from
that hell over yonder.' "
Major W. F. Moody, of Raleigh,
responded to the address of welcome
on behalf of the delegates present.
Adding his voice to the sentiments al
ready expressed, htat labor must do
its full share in the winning of the
war, and stating further that labor
hae already done a wonderful part in
the war to this date, the speaker alto
said that labor must not forget the
enemy at home, while fighting anoth
er enemy abroad. Mr. Moody was
positive in his declarations that there
re men in America who are attempt
ing to gain advantages over labor un
der the plea of patriotism, and the
speaker said itmust not be allowed.
That while we are giving our all for
the downfall of the German 'auto
cracy, we must at the same time be
alert to the dangers threatening us
here at home, from those few men in
America who would take the present
as an excuse to forever disrupt the
labor movement
After these formal ceremonies, the
president of the federation was called
to the chair, and Mr. Shuping made
an address.' He said that other work
is pressing, and while it is absolutely
essential that this work of the feder
ation be done, that just as soon as
the important and necessary part of
Uie work is done that adjournment
.will be taken that all men may go
back to their work.
Because of this suggestion L. L.
tonkins who was on the program for
a speecn Tuesday morning, consented
to deliver his address .while the
credentials committee was engaged in
eating the delegates. Mr., Jenkins
spoke about half an hour. 'and it
was thoroughly enjoyed by all pres
ent. : -v h. .' . .
The following resolutions were un
animously adopted: . '
"Whereas as the whole world is de
pending upon the United States to
win the war against Germany end her
allies, and whereas, our army of sol
diers can be no strong : then the
fighting strength given it by out army
of labor, threforc be it, . :
Resolved that the North " Carolina
federation of labor, In convention as-
wnDien, reoeaieste the Ihrea of our
members to the cause of our country,
and onee again pledge themselves and
aii we possess to the one big object
of winning the war. V . : '
Committees were then named by
the president. ' : ; . .

SOLDIER'S EMPLOY
MENT AFTER WAR
Thousands of Factories, Shops and
Offices in the United States Plan
ning to Open Their Doors After
Hostilities Cease to the Disabled
Soldiers and Sailors.
New York, Aug. 18. ((By the Asso
ciated Press.) Thousands of facto
ries, shops and off ices in the United
States are planning to open their
doors after the war to the soldiers and
sailors who may return home handi
capped by wounds so serious as to
force these men to enter new trades
and industries,
Already field agents employed by
.the Red Cross Institute for Crippled
and Disabled Men in this city are at
work demonstrating to employers of
labor that a roan who has lost an arm
or a leg may prove to be a valuable
woricer icetpable of maintaining him
self in comfort if not affluence; for,
with the allowance made by itihte gov
ernment to the returned fighter,
wages earned by labor would place
him on a better footing financially
than he was before rtWe war.
Douglas C. MoMurtrie, director of
the Red Cross Institute, has knowl
edge Of hundreds of topical oases of
men wno have be encnppled m indus
try and in battle. Such men, accord
ing to Mr. McMurtrie, instead of be
coming despondent derelicts or mere
pensioners halve learned trades and
.professions which bare made them
happy and successful.
A mechanic who enlisted in the
Princess Patricia's regiment and who
was .wounded and returned to Canada
spent three months in a convalescent
hospital and now earns, it is oaid,
double hie fonmer pay, having taken
advantage of mechanical drawing and
arithmetic classes 'carried cm at the
institution. Writing to the hospital
instructor he said: "A present, since
rny discharge from military eenrice,
...
around; I ism ebte now to bold a job
as foreman in a machine shop, with
more than twice the salary I waa get
ting before." 0 .
lA former prrrate in eJhe Thirteenth

after course in re-education tcboel
subsequent to preliminary training at

a position as a cnetal turner and fitter

Quoting Lord Shaoghnessy, Mr. Mc

EE VICE CO
The success wihidh is being 'achieved in
Canada in dealing with the problem
of vocational re-educaition, Mr. Mc
Murtrie stated, has been inspiring to
those wf.iio have the same work in hund
in the United States.
The Federal Board for Vocational
Education, with an initial ap propria
tion of S2.000.000, is authorized to
take over all schools and institutions
necessary to re-educate the crippled
soldier or sailor and, in certain cases,
to build new schools. Thus far the
preliminary work of rflhabilitatins: the
war cripples has been undertaken
largely at the Walter Reed General
Hospital in Washington under United
States Army supervision, and at
dozen or more similar institutions
throughout the country.
Basketry, typewriting and similar
simple kinds of work ere given the pa'
tient to keip ehis mind clear and brrjrl.t
and give him an interest in life. Major
General William Gorgas, Surgeon
General of the Army, it is understood,
heartily approves of this method. The
Red Croes Institute here, however,
will not take a man for training until
ha has been discharged from the Mil
itary or naval senvice. ts plan con
tem:lates tihe employment of a Re
Education Advisor m every military
Hospital where the needs of the pa
nenis as to learning new trades or
professions could (be studied, and the
men will be given every advantage of
selection after practical tests.

A DEAD STOMACH
PROPAGANDA HINDERS
THE HEALTH WORKERS
Rowan One County That Showed a
Disappointing Number of People
Taking Typhoid Vaccination Doc
tors Point Out the Vaccination is
Harmless.
(Special to The Post.)
Raleigh, Aug 13. That a peculiar
ly and vicious form of German prop
aganda is being used to hinder Ihealth
work! in North Carolina is indicated ia
reports received by the State Board of
'Health. The wihiispered lies of Hun
sympathizers apparently are being
spread for the purpose of (preventing
the thoughtless and ignorant from
availing themselves of immunity from
typhoid fever by means of the free
anti-typhoid' vaccination that is being
offered in a number of counties.
Last week in Rowan county only
twenty people appeared at an anti
typhoid vaccination clinic that bad
been 'widely advertised. Several hun
dred were expected. Inquiry elicited
the information that the people had
been told that if they got wet after
taking the vaccinakm it would kill
them. The afternoon was cloudy, and
so only a very few had come.
This is but instance of serious in
terference with efforts of the health
authorities to protect the people of
the state from the effects of prevent
able disease, and to aidi in the win
ning of the war bv keeping the people
at home in fit condition to "back up the
boys in France. The typhoid situation
in ii'.ie state has been such as to cause
serious alarm among the 'United
States Army officers, because of the
danger that is thereby caused to the
men in the training cam J s. The elim
ination of the disease from the state
is looked upon as an essential war
work, and the State Board of Health
looks upon interference with it as
almost, if not quite, traitorous.
As a matter of fact the State Board
of Health fpoints'out (that typhoid vae-
cination is harmless, practically pain
less, causing no sore arms or ill after
effects and not preventing any person
from pursuing ordinary work. The
treatment gives immunity from ty
phoid fever for a period of at least
three years, and to it is accredited the
fact that the disease (hits been banish
ed from ranks of the United States
Army, and from the armies of Eu
rope. In a large number of counties
in North Carolina special anti-typhoid
vaccination campaigns are being con
ducted, and to State Board of Hearth
is anxious that as many people as
possible take 'advantage t the oppor
tunity that' to being offered.; 4 '

MADE CONFEDERATE
FLAG MANY YEARS AGO
Wilson Woman Said to Have Made
the First Flag For the Confederacy
Died Recently at Wilson, Made Flag
Designed by Captain Smith.
(By t Associated Press.)
Wilson, Aug. 13. Mrs. Rebecca
Winborne, 87 years old, who died re
cently, is said to have been the wom
an who made the 'first Confederate
i f iag.
The banner, designed by Captain
Orren Randolph Smith, of Henderson,
was made by Mrs. Winborne when sne
was Miss Rebecca Murphy, at Wilson
in February, 1861. A sister refused
to aid in making the flag, it ia said,
because she was engaged to a North
ern army officer. A few weeks after
the flag was connpleted it was adopted
by the Confederate Congress at Mont
gomeryj Ala., as the standard of the
confederacy. The first banner con
tained only seven stars, representing
Vik number of .states that had seceded,
but thk number was evn incaeased to
eleven by the withd. ;al of other
states from the union. By an act of
the confederate congress it was nam
ed "The Stars and Bars."
At a reunion of Confederate veter
ans in Norfolk, Va., in 1910, Captain
Smithl explained the meaning of tne
various colors in the flag as follows :
"The idea of my flag I took from
the Trinity. Hie three bars were for
the church, state and press all bound
together by a field of blue (the heav
ens over all), bearing a star for each
state in the confederation. The seiven
white stars, all the same aize, were
placed m a circle, showing that each
state had equal rights and privileges,
nr-eapwetive of siie or population.''
