Jimison asserted. “There is a political brotherhood that is binding and effective. There is a religious brotherhood so clear and marked that I can tell a Methodist preacher just as far as I can see him coming. There is a brotherhood that grows out of suffering, and another that is giving birth in the pleasures and sports of the world. “Then thre is the brotherhood of the men pf toil. This brotherhood supersedes and absorbs all the other brotherhoods, mentioned and unmen tioned. There is a kindred feeling am,ong the men who do the world’s work unequaled among any other group of people in the whole uni verse. “But we must remember one thing and that is, we cannot ''separate some of these elements that are dominant in the spirit of brother hood. For instance, and the thing that should interest the workers greatly, we cannot separate industry from! religion, nor industry from politics. The three are so -closely related that they cannot be separ ated. If there is to be a successful brotherhood among the men who labor ,then the brotherhood of relig ion, and the brotherhood of politics, must be sufficiently broad and toler ant that men of different political faiths, may be real brothers in indus try. “So often* however, the workers allow their religious prejudices and their political preudices to dominate their lives that the chance of a suc cessful brotherhood of the workers is all but impossible of attainment. Those who would like to destroy the brotherhood of men of * toil know these facts, -and they often and shrewdly use your own preudices in their successful efforts to keep the Workers from banding together in an industrial brotherhood. The workers would do well to stand together, for unless they asso ciate with, each other they will have no associations. It is an accepted fact that ‘our best people,’ as they like to call themselves, are not going to associate with the men who work. There is no brotherhood there, social ly, politically, or religiously. The men you elect to office are sociable just before election, but after it is all over this sociability stops, you know. We have our fine churches up town—all denominations—-but there are very few poor people who are members \of these great churches to Wk: Pi>M. • Look about you. Look out yonder in the mSH'district, the factory district, and you see a mission or a smaller church where the workers attend services. Often they listen to the preaching of young fellows in j the ministry who are just starting out in their work, preparing themselves for the coming of the day when they hope to be called to the First church, uptown, where ‘the best people’ belong. "I pray God for the coming of the day when brothrhood means broth erhood, even as the Great Teacher described it. I want to live to wit ness the day when the life of a little freckled-faced, curly-haired boy will be recognized at his true value—the value Christ placed upon a human life—as being worth more than a cotton mill, a furniture factory, a coal mine, a steamboat, a railroad train. That brotherhood that is com ing will destroy this class and caste, and recognize the worth of man, and measure and weigh his value only by one standard of service he rend ers to the human family.” , ...

Such movements are destined to divide labor’s forces and produce hitter antagonisms as they produce religious bigotry provoke rancorous intolerance, and divert the working people from working out their own emancipa tion. * *■''*.* Resolved; That we here and now reaffirm as one of the cardi nal principles of the labor move ment that the working people must unite and organize, irrespective of creed, color, sex, nationality or politics. We believe that no trade unionist can consistently participate in the activities of the Ku Klux Kian or any similar organization, and we uni hesitatingly denounce its efforts to supplant organized government, to promote religious intolerance, racial antagonisms and bigotry. The Fascist! Movement. We shall not undertake to deal with the Facisti movement as it has developed and come into power in Italy. We are fully aware of the complexities that surround the situa tion in Italy and we are not unmind ful of the fact that it was largely the threat of one • autocracy that helped produce another. We can, however, record our keen disappoint ment in any gain made by any auto cratic movement anywhere. Auto cracy can never succeed anywhere except hy force and what the world needs most of all is the/organization of industrial power and the aband onment of military force. Expen diture of force saps the life blood of industry. What is of immediate concern to us is the effort to organize Fascisti groups in the United States. We denounce this effort as a token of hostility to our democratic institu tions and particularly to our Ameri can trade union movement. Promotion hy a foreign power of a hostile movement on our soli can not be lightly regarded by our movement or by our people in general No dis claimers from abroad can alter the character of the Fascisti nor change the fact that the Offspring in America must partake of tijhe nature and pur pose of the parent body in Italy. We call upon workers of foreign birth to refrain from joining the Fas cisti or any similar movement in our country. Foreign workers who come to our shores in good faith come be cause 'America offers freedom and opportunity for* the individual. To j then promote an organization hostile to every institution of American freedom is to tresna^.,Qn .every prin ciple of h<mesty?a2ifft&be guilty of conduct which can hot lie condoned. The Fascisti can not exist in Amer ica without the membership" and sup port of workers who have come to America from the birthplace of Fas cism. There must be no Fascisti in our Republic and it is the duty of American trade unionism, to use every honorable effort to purge the country of this offshoot of European turmoil. Those whd can not come to America prepared to find expres sion for their opinions and require ments through the orderly methods brought into being at such great cost through the establishment of free democratic government are ill-pre pared to come at all. The inevitable result of continuance of such efforts as that represented by the organiza tion of Fascisti groups in America can lead only to a more determined resolve to bar the doors tightly to those who abuse thej freedom and the institutions of our; country. SAYS FORD IS PROPER MAN (Continued front ;,Pajge One:) ?; thus we have now the most centra lised and all-powerful—and there fore autocratic—financial oligarchy of any government in the world. Our 110 million people are ruled absolutely by this financial autocracy. Now all of this perfect machinery of rule and robbery and ruin of the people in the interest of Wall Street, was created and set up and set in operation under the administration of McAjdoo as Secretary of the U. S. Treasury. Let the reader draw his own conclusions as to whether Me Adoo was serving the people, or was a servant of the Invisible Govern ment. These two men are most promi nently mentioned by our state press as Democratic candidates for 'the Presidency. There will be “favor able son*' candidates no doubt, in several states. To obtain favorable press propaganda, these will all have to be satisfactory to the invisible government. President Coolidge is now at the head of the Republican party. If President Hording had lived he would most probably have received the nomination of the Republican con vention when it meets next year. Whether Coolidge will fall heir to Harding’s nomination remains to be seen. He has been most conservative in speech but he has shown conclu sively that he has the capitalist view point. He has been quoted as saying that “the man who builds a factory builds a temple.” Now a temple is a sacred place; erected, or dedicated to the worship of a deity, or for re ligious purposes. Coolidge evidently has the Wali4 Street conception of a temple: the treating of wealth, the getting of money, the worship of Wet Wash Float-Ironed Rough Dry Prim-Preit t 1 it , .• .... i ■ g i in ,* \ y? * -'V'J.

It enables us to give you ironing service of a higher quality than ever before. J With this remarkable new press, the operator simply places your dainty blouse or waist on a padded ironing board, smooths it out carefully, and by bringing down the upper part, or head of the press as it is called, irons the garment automatically. This means finer ironing for all of your wearing apparels—and, because the iron if heated with steam, and there is no rubbing or friction, it means positive protection against scorching or wear. We wish that you would visit *yoiir laun dry* and inspect this PRIM PRESS—if you could see it in operation we know you would want all of your wearing apparel "PRIM-PREST.” THE CHARLOTTE LAUNDRY MODEL STEAM LAUNDRY SANITARY STEAM LAUNDRY !

Judging him by his idea of a temple, he would no doubt con strue the constitution to guarantee to the people “the right to life, liber ty and property, and the most sacred of these is property." ^ It goes without saying that Cool idge will not get the nomination of his party convention unless he Us entirely satisfactory to the Invisible Govern ment. And neither will any other man in either party convention as long as candidates are groomed and nominated as they have been in the past. The people can vote for men nominated by the Invisible Govern ment, or they can stay at home and not vote at all, as « very large per cent of them generally do. They will say to you, if you ask them why they take no interest in eleetions: “What’s the use of it? So far as the common people are concerned, it makes no difference whether the Democrats win or the Republicans. “And that is true; because the candidates of both parties have been groomed and nom inated by the same powers, the agents of the Invisible Government. But there is a remedy for this evil under the sun. The people should demand presidential primaries and go to the polls and vote for a man who is not being groomed by the pluto cratic machine agencies: Vote for a man who is independent of Wall Street; Who denounces the money monopoly; Who refuses to enter into industrial combinations for the purpose of creating monopoly and exploiting both the industrial pro ducers and the general consumers. Such a man is Henry Ford. And if the Democratic convention had enough true democracy in it to nom inate Ford, he would carry the party and the people to victory. UNIONS ARE A NATION’S DEFENSE St. Louis, Mo., Oct. 3.—-“Trade unions have been the bulwark of our institutions and always first in de fense of the rights of the people as guaranteed by the ten command ments to the constitution," declares President Manion in the Railroad Telegrapher, the official journal of the Order of Railroad Telegraphers. “Even in the vanguard of prog ress, they have put on the statute book of state and nation every act now in force for the protection of men, women and children who toil. “There is not one single act or law looking toward the greater safety of these who travel by land or sea that was not put over by the active, per sistent work of trade unions. “And there was none of these acts providing for greater safety that was not bitterly and viciously fought by that element in society who desire only to add more dollars to ah al ready acquired excess «f dollars." LEFT SCHOOL TO HOLD JOBS (Continued Irotn Page One.) would be in the North Charlotte hall, bright and clean, even after all the Andersons and the Moseleys had an swered the great final call to cross the river Jordan and give an account of their autocratic lives here - on earth, the applause was deafening and the spirit of unionism ran high. An interesting comparison of wages for the same class of work ers made between the mills where the workers are organized and in the unorganized mills. The reports show ed quite a difference in pay even in same towns, and in places where the mills were in sight of ohe another, the organized mill always paying more than the unorganized mill. The Salisbury delegation felt a lit tle “uppish” at the Council meeting because C. P. Barringer, president of the State Federation of Labor, was with them. President Barring er’s appearance in the hall was greeted with great applause. At the close of the session the state presi-: dent made an impassioned plea with the textile workers to forge ahead,' pledging his full support and that of the State Federation of Labor 'in bringing the textile workers up to the standard of the craftsmen of the state. A letter was read from . Harry during the past several days on busi ness for the ^textile union. It was 4 ordered that a telegram be sent Mr. Eatough, copying to him the best wishes Joint Council. Delegate C. it, Jones was elected Vice president) of the Council, to suc ceed C. P. Putnam, who had allowed his membership to lapse, thereby dis qualifying him for the office. Mr. Jobes is one of ,the most active mem bers of the .tactile union, and is ex vice president of the State Feder ation of Labor. This election will materially strengthen the Joint Coun cil. iO.s Hn; The session lasted more than two hours, antL.nujfch business was trans- ~ acted. .. Wt -The communication sent to Secre tary Davis, :<and signed by David Clark, concerning the reports that had been nvade by the Department of Labor -of the increase in child labor was discussed at length.

Judging from the statem&ti&lbade on the floor, Mr. Clark is considered a huge joke among the .textile workers of the Carolinas,-, The next meeting will be held in Salisbury on the last Saturday in October. —- s BOYS WANTED at the y. m. e. 4 ZOi - 'A.i. 5 A , . > Boys, you have 'the time, and we offer opportunity to' secure an education.
