It is not too late now, altb,ou$h». the time is short in Mjhiofc to get aJI preparations mafie to enter an e% phatic and; effective- protest against wage-cutting. Textile workers everywhere shpulds immediately eproll, in the unipnp^for it is the only; way this side of high heaven that they can prevent another wage-cut. _ It is reported that a wage-cut has already been made at Lowell. That is the place where Mr. Boss invested $1,200 ten years, ago, and has received, on that small investment 70 adidtional; shares of stock, and cash dividends amounting to $3,290, and is now suing some of his asso ciates for an accounting of another profit of $792,000. J.t is simply o»P to t^e textile work ers themselves whether oj? not they will have'to accept more wage reduc tions. ; ' -« if some of toe muis nereanouts cut wages, it will w mean. that the" workers wfil haye to. pay the cmpley-r ers for letting them, work for thier bosses, as the wages in some of the mills are so low now they con-ld not be cut, arid have- anything left all The problem is you»a, textile work ers, There is % way to help, your selves. Other workers have done it •—and you can, too, > There is but ONE way, however, that way is to. ORGANISE! HIGH POINT MEN -; BATTUNG e, C. (Continued. From Page One.), last legislature authorised cities so desiring to give one-tenth'of one per cent of taxes to this capse. High Point, of course, wag the first city to undertake execution, of the fool provisions of the fool law- The % Unions of Hjgh Point entered suit against the city officials, in an effort to stop them fro.m giving this public funds to such purpose, Hon. J. Frank Flowers, Charlotte attorney*, was employed to handle the case.. A hearing was had, and the ease was sent on to the State Supreme court It is to bear the expenses of fighting this law in Hie Supreme court that the High Point unionists are asking financial aid- Already, Kerr re ports, much money has been sent in. It is safe to say other locals and in dividuals will. contribute to this nfeet worthy cause, and kelp in defeating this plan to give tax money to an or ganization we a Chamber of Com merce. Following is Hr. Kerr’s letter of appeal, and it is rich information. Read it: The last Legislature passed an act authorizing the governing body of the City of High Point to appropriate one-tenth of one per cent of the assessed valuation of all real and per sonal property, for the purpose of paying tile- expenses of the Chambei of Commerce. As I understand it—it is expected that if this is permitted to be done approximately $22,000 of the tax payers money in the City of High Point will be taken, for this private purpose and; all of this without any vote of the people. This Local has assumed the re sponsibility of bringing an action in Court to test the constitutionality of this procedure and there will be con siderable expense incurred in the premises and as the matter is of State«-wide^mportance and -wiH effect very vitally each and every tax pay er ip. the. State of North Carolina for the Eeason that other cities are expecting to do the same thing if the Court decides such a procedure can legally- be adopted. You can readily see the danger of- permitting such a cpurse to be adopted, for if the tax payers money, can b,e taken for the purpose of pay ing- the expenses of the Chamber of Commerce then of course the Rotary Club, the Kiwanis Club, the Y. M. C. A., and all other private institu tions which claim to be engaged in a work which is beneficial to the public can- take the public funds for their expense and continue their efforts in opposition to the workers of the country. ' I hppe, therefore, that y lu.r local will pass a resolution approving our course, in the matter and condemning this e$oct on the part of a few peo ple to take the tax money of the people for private purposes and to beat down the standards and condi tions which the workers of the State are undertaking to establish; that you will also have your Local either [ take a colection or make an appro priation out of its treasury for the purpose of assisting us in paying these expenses. This effort is bieng made as much for the benefit of your community as for the people of our own and is one of State wide im portance and in addition to making a contribution' and passing a resolu tion, of support 1 wish you would pass a resolution to be sent to the meeting of the State Council so that the Council may go on record in the meeting. Ttyhen you understand that the Chamber of ^Commerce all over the country, with a very few exceptions and only one exception in this State so far as we know, are engaged in efforts in opposition to the rights and claims of the workers you can see the danger that this condition threatens the workers of the State. * Hoping therefore that you will “come over and: help us” to defeat this insidious scheme on the part of laborers enemies. TOOK 20 YEAR* TO SEE UGHT t (Continued From Page One.) national scale.” Here is a concession that 20 years’ campaign of “education” within the. unions has failed^ and that recrimina tions, libels and accusations have had absolutely no effect on trade unionists. It is hardly possible to present a clearer statement on the collapse of the efforts of the Socialist party, which now, after years of tujanoil in side the unions, says: “Candpr com pels us to adnjit” that “comparative ly few of the great un,ions” are in terested in a national labor party. The Socilist' party now indicates that it is at last awake to public opinion and changed public policy. Their own party—or what is left of it—is now adopting the A,,. F. of L. policy in certain localities. The new position- of the Socialist party almost makes a unanimous thought in this country that fhe, day of political parties, rigidly bound by dogma and iron discipline, has dis appeared. \ For years the trade u$ton mover ment urged an independent ballot when other forces, blinded by parti sanship, would lure voters to their various political camps. Today no intelligent voter pro fesses unyielding, allegiance to a po litical party. The A,. F. of L. policy, scorned up to. within a few years ago,, is now recognised as a national characteristic that will become more marked with time. And even the propaganda methods of the A. F. of L, are being adopted. Railroad and other’corporations that charged organibzed labor with “at tempting to coerce lawmakers” are now urging their stockholders to write these lawmakers to favor cer tain legislation. On every side is a loosening of party discipline^—the first essential for party success. And in this breaking down of the party spirit,, and the resultant weakening ef poli tical parties, is seen, the establishment of an independence and an intelli gence that mean a higher standard of citizenship. * The tendency of the times vindi cates the non-partisan political policy of the A. F. of L. The Socialist party has finally ac cepted what has long been apparent to observing citizens. METAL WORKERS GAIN. Portland, Me.% July lfi.—Sheet metal workers have secured a union shop agreement that continues for bne year. FEDERATION HAS DONE LOTS (Continued From Page One.) want the skilled worker organized, or to have a voice in his working con-, ditions. In no other state of the importance of North Carolina industrially, is there to be found as little organiza tion. among the building craftsmen as in this state. The same applies to the printers, the pressmen, the book keepers and stenographers, and all other craftsmen. It is the inevitable iresult of any community where the dominant industry is unorganised*. Give to the employers absolute con trol of the dominant industry, and the whole labor force is placed, in- the hands of the same employers. Or ganize ythe dominant industry, and there is. no trouble whatever ip the organization of all other groups, of workers. This is an economic fact that no on,e can dispute. No builder would start the erection of a building at the top, and work down. Hie lays his foundation and then builds up. No labor movement can be. built; from the top down. The foundation is the dominant industry, and whop that dominant industry is organized, then the work of building upward ip easy and certain. So long as the government of t)ve United States makes the rank dis crimination in pay to the workers of the North and South as it docs, that long will all labor in the South suffer discrimination at the hands of private employers. The nayy announces pay for com mon labor in the Boston navy yards at 50 cents an hour. The same navy announces the pay of comonrn labor in Charleston;, S, C„ navy yard, doing the same work, at 31 cents an hour. Common labor in Boston, is organ ized. Common labor in the South is un organized, and there has been but little attention given them by local unions, state federations of labor, or any one else. So the government evi dently believes it has a perfect right to work common lahpr la .cents an hour cheaper than the same govern ment pays the same kind of labor in Boston. Then no one has raised a voice in protest. This action on. the part of the gov ernment enables the private employ ers of the south to pay the same kind of small wages. It encourages the textile manu facturers to continue their policy of low wages and long hours. And the tobacco manufacturers, and furniture manufacturers as well. So when thip is all summed up, one flnds the reason for the lower wages yt>f the building mechanics, the print era, and; sq on. Then, too, the squabbling within the ranks of organized labor is sole ly responsible for the fact that no workmen’s compensation bill is on the books of North Carolina,. Boys all over the state are working seven days a week at soda fountains. Men and; women in the biggest in dustry are being fired, right here in North Carolina, for no other purpose than that of joining a labor union. Troops are sent to places where strikes are in progress, even upon the announcement by the manufacturer that he. wants to re-open his mills. Teachers and preachers are fired when, they teach or preach in any mann.e® not entirely satisfactory to employers of a community. Yes, the State Federation of Labor, bus done some wonderful work, but the task is only begun. There is an opportunity for the North Carolina, State Federation of Labor to render a service to. this state that will bp of tremendous valueyto the entire commonwealth, and over flow the boundary lines of the statue, and have good, effects throughout the entice southland F.ack and, every delegate to^ past conventions of the state Federation of Laber, and all members of organ ized labor ib the state, should feel great pride in the past accomplish ments of this body. All. should ljeafbte the work has only begun—that the big, big things, the big opportunities, lie in the fu ture* All the future work, however, de pends upon the foundation laid by the Federation, That solid foundation is the or ganization of the dominant indus tries first—the others will follow, naturally. BIBLES TEH GENTS A CQPY. The new publishing plant estab lished at Kingsport, Tenn., by the interest* that control J. J. Little & Ives, of New York, will turn out- a popular-priced grade of books on a scale not heretofore' attempted in this country, according to reports emanating fronj the management. From the tree to the finished book at the rate of 250,000 copies a day is tt\e program at present mapped out. The Hew Testament and books by a dozen or more of the best known and popular authors are to he placed on the counters of chain stores throughout the country at prices heretofore unheard of. A paper mill adjoining the printing plant and cloth aho made in the South, with machinery which the last word in eJHciep.cy and rapid work, the man agement claims, will enable the con cern. to produce boohs in enormous quantities at a ptfce never before be lieved possible- If the scheme is a success it will prove to be a revolu tionary step in the printing industry, of this country. Kingsport, Tenn,, is under the jurisdiction of Johnson City Typographical Union No. 763. The State of Pennsylvania ia hay ing a sad experience with its. nonr union priting contractor. Recently the daily calendar for the, sessions of the state senate was printed in such a manner that the work of that body was seriously interfered with for a week or mpre. In fact> a Yofce to adjourn until the work of the state printer could, be furnished .in an intelligible form was taken, hpjt the printer had suffijeent influence to prevent an adverse vote, ft seems that an investigation of the entire matter of state printing wili be Made by the legislature. Ifajeri&bjutg Typor graphical Unioa No. 14 wdl welcome such a proceeding. The way things have been managed since the state printer declined, to haye the. state work done on a forty-fottB week basis snjells to heaven. - HUGE STEEL PROfttS.

The officers reported to The Herald, where they were visitors, that the working people of the state are responding well to the industrial feature. W.OMEN LAWMAKERS LEAD. San Francisco, July 18:—According to a tabulation .by officers of the state federation of labor, two women members of the last state legislature — were the best labor members of the ^session. The women are Grace S. Dorris, of Bakersfield, and fisto B. Broughton, of Modesto. Lois Angeles supplied the bitterest opponent of human legislation. H,e is Senator Harry A. Chamberlain, spokesman for*the anti-union organ ization known as the Better Ameri cas federation.
