Locking out its composing room employes, members of Springfield (Ohio) Typographical Union No. 117', the Crowell Publishing company bn October 1 declared for the non-union shop. The Crowell company pub lishes the Woman’s Home Compan iori, The American Magazine, Farm & Fireside and Mentor. It also is owner and publisher of Collier's Na tional Weekly. The latter magazine is published m New York City. All the other magazines are produced in the company’s Springfield' plant. Prior to instituting the lockout, the company through its manager, J. E. Miller, sought by coercion and bribes in the nature of wages greatly in fexcess of the union scale, to pre vail upoh members of the union to give up their membership. The usual open-shop “yellow-dog” contract was presented to the men, and with two exceptions all' refused to sign such an agreement. Several months ago, following the usual custom, Springfield Typograph ical Ujiion presented its. wage scale to the employing printers of Spring field. Among the number was the Crowell company, which the union believed still maintained its member ship in the American Newspaper Pub lishers’ Association, but later it was learned the company had permitted its membership to lapse last year without informing the union of its action. The Crowell company immediately rejected the wage proposal, and at no time sought to bring about an adjustment by the usual methods heretofore employed -— negotiation, conciliation or arbitration. Shortly thereafter the union learned that the management, through Vollmer of Chicago and other strike-breaking agencies, was recruiting non-union printers to take the places of mem bers .of Springfield Typographical Union. The officers of Springfield Typo graphical Union were loath to be lieve that the management of the Crowell Company would adopt such despicable tactics, because of the long years of friendly relationship, but the real attitude of the present management became apparent when the attempt was made shortly before October 1st to get the union men to give up their membership in the union. Under a former management, about twenty years ago this same company refused to recognize the eight-hour day. After a two year fight, during which the company was sold to other persons, the eight-hour day and Typo graphical Union were recognized. Officers and members of Springfield Typographical Union are just as de termined now as they were 20 years ago to win in the war that is, now being waged against them by the Crowfell Company. The locked-out members of the union have organi zed a committee and are notifying members of organized labor and friends that the Crowell Publishing company has dealt with them unfair ly by filling their places with strike breakers, bringing the latter surrep titiously to Springfield and having them , in the composing room on the morning of October 1st when union men reported for work. 0. N. Boyle, Labor Temple, Springfield, Ohio, chairman of Typo graphical Union Lockout Committee, is asking the moral support of all wage earners to aid in the contro versy—particularly those who have been or are readers of the Woman’s Home Companion, The American Magazine, Farm & Fireside and Mentor. Literature will be furnish ed to individuals or unions on re quest. SHRINERS WILL BE HERE MONDAY Nobles of the Mystic Shrine and their ladies will have charge of Char lotte two days next week, Monday and Tuesday, when the hosts will gather to initiate into the mysteries of this noble order an unusual large class of candidates. From all over the state wearers of the Red Fez will come, and visiting brethren" from oth er states will journey here to witness the work that will enlarge the big army of Nobles in North Carolina. Charlotte has everything in read iness for the comfort and entertain ment of all visitors. Many private homes have thrown their doors open to the visitors, and as usual the Queen City will care for all who .come.

Denison, 305 Realty Bldg. HARVEST ' Ju^t now;, the farmer is busy harvesting his corn crop* ; This “King of grains” will net the American farmer millions of dollars this year.

PUT THEM IN THIS BANK They will receive 4 per cent Interest and 100 per cent safety, and your “harvest” will be sure to follow. Merchants and Farmers National Bank CHARLOTTE, N. t. READ HOW SOME FOLKS GET RICH On a certain street in Rochester, N. Y., there lives a young man .whose father, as a joke, invested 10 cents in two shares of Eastman Kodak stock. The son draws $40 a year from the ten cent investment. On Whom was the joke? Had the father invested $100 instead of ten cents, the young man’s yearly incori'.e would be; $40,000 instead of $40, at this rate. • _ ■ T Jeremiah Geary, a thoughtful plumiber, is said , to have sold his shop to put $600 into Welsbach Gas Mhntle, and went to work for the purchaser of the shop. He realized $500,000. The Burroughs Adding Machine company, in its first two years, de clared a dividend of 1000 per cent. Samuel Kirschbaum; a little Rus sian Jew tailor of Boston, put $120, his entire life savingsfi into De Long Hook and Eye. He received $12,000 in a few years, and, by judicius re investment, has amassed a fortune. The National Cash Register com pany paid stock dividends in one year, amounting to over $5,000,000. We are told that so far $500 invest ed originally has returned over a quarter of a mi'2ip:i dollars. The Story is told of a widow whose husband put $1,500 into Yellow Tax icab stock when it was organized in Chicago. That was only a few years ago, yet the widow with a family of three is spending her winters in Flor ida. The earning* from the Yellour Taxi scock are move than enough to provide for her t nu her family in comfoic and style. There is a man living in Ossining, N. Y., Paul M. Pierson by name, one of the largest growers of American Beauty roses in the United States. Some* years ago he invested $10,000 in one of Dr. Hutchinson’s inventions and within six years, took over .$300, 000 out of his investment. Not so bad for a “speculaitve venture.” There are over three and a half mil7 lion of Dr. Hutchinson’s Klaxon Horns sold to date, at an average prfit of at least $5 each. One hundred dollars originally in vested in the Mergenthaler Linotype earned, in seven years, $127,000. A Chicago corporation lawyer advised a wealthy lumberman not to invest in Mergenthaler. The lawyers’ ste nographer did invest. Her returns were over $250,000. The lumber man’s yards burned and he married the lawyer’s strenographer and got a new start. The Mergenthaler Lino type company paid dividends in five years, aggregating $23,181,057. The itemized holdings of the Rus sell Sage Estate showed that he had bought a few hundred shares here and there in.nmnw companies, found ed. on new inventions, which return ed him $20,000,000. Russell Sage’s advice in this con nection was, “Pick out an enterprise in its infancy, make sure it is one in which large profits can be made, that it is honestly .managed by competent people, and then1 put your money into it. If you wait until it is a demon strated. money-making proposition, you will be able tjo buy on only a five or seven per cent earnings basis, but by investing at the start, you can get the same on a basis that will return a per -cent of hundreds and some times, thousands.” MRS. CONBOY IS COMING SOUTH Mrs. Sara A. Conboy, secretary treasurer of the United Textile Workers of America, and one of the best loved women in the American labox- movement, will visit this sec tion at an early date, according to advices received by friends in Char lotte. She will visit all the local unions of the textile workers in both Carolinas. It is thought she will be here in time to be preesnt at the next Joint Council meeting, which will be held in North Charlotte on the last Saturday in December. Mrs. Conboy is well pleased with the progress the organizations are making in this section. Of course she would be glad to see all the workers in the organization, but she knows of the tremendous efforts that have been made and the great in fluence that has been brought to bear upon the workers to keep them dividend so they would have no voice in their wages and working condi tions. So in view of all these ef forts and influences,. Mrs. Conboy thinks the organizations have done, remarkably well, and she freely pre dicts a* thorough organization of the textile workers of the Carolinas by the end of next year. f -;-: REV. HUTCHINS TO SPEAK AT BELMONT BELMONT, N. C., Dec. 5.—Tel] the world that Belmont Local Union No. 1228 is coming on. Each meet ing witnesses one or more new mem bers coming into the field, and then between times, when no one knows what is going on, new members are initiated. There are some workers here who fear the wrath of their bosses, therefore they will not come to the hall. They will come sonte day. So they take their obligation at the home of some member of the lottel, with all the officers present. Oh Saturday morning, December 15, Rev. W. L. Hutchins of Lexing ton will speak here in the Princess theatre. It is an open meeting and all pdople of Belmont are invited to hear this distinguished Methodist minister. He is pastor of the First church at Lexington, and is consid ered one of the best preachers and one of the leading lecturers of the state. SAVINGS We pay 6 per cent on Certificate of investment.

Finan cial Secretary Duke presided, and Mr. Pridgen was temporary secretary. It so happened that affairs of the three principal officers were such that it was impossible for them to be present, it is said. One of the ipost important actions taken was that of sending a check of considerable dimensions to the Ashe ville printers to help- bear the ex penses of defending labor against the attacks of that hateful injunction law. In addition, a committee was appointed to visit all other locals and secure contributions from them to help pay these expenses. NORTH CHARLOTTE RESUMES MEETINGS Afte£ this week regular meetings will be "resumed by the North Char lotte Textile Union. A meeting of the officers was held Sunday, and a general meeting was held Monday, arid comihittees were appointed to plan for the coming of the Joint Textile Council, which meets in North Charlotte on the last Saturday in the month. On account of spying, there have been but few meetings in the North Charlotte hall since the strike last fall. The meetings have been held in The Herald office in stead, and some at the Central Labor Union hall. After this week meetings will be held in the North Charlotte hall. SPENCER CARMEN NAME OFFICERS FQR NEXT YEAR SALISBURY, Dec. 5.—Previous to the open meeting held by the Broth erhood of Railway Carmen last Tues day evening a business session was held at ivhich an election of officers resulted 'in the selection of the fol lowing men to serve their fellows during the coming^ year: President, J.
