A prominent labor leader in Char lotte was asked this morning if Char lotte was to be represented at the meeting of the laboring men of the state, which was called to meet in Raleigh today, and if he knew what matters were coming up for discussion, and if there was any political signifi cance in the meeting. This gentleman who is very closely identified with 'promotinfr the candi dacy of Mr. W. W. Haywood for the officer of commissioner of labor and printing. stud: . u "The laboring; people of ' Charlotte have known about the call for the meeting, but wTe seem to have besn ignored in the matter. "WTe think that there is a political significance in the ' meeting, but not from a democratic standpoint. There are certain interests working against Mr. Haywrood, and this opposition is backed by republicans, and it would not surprise us if this meeting is not for the purpose of putting out a la boring ticket to aid the republicans." This gentleman said that some days ago certain agents were sent here by the republican party to get a line on the feelins of the labor vote in this section, and when they found that Mr. Haywood was so strong, and there was no chance to secure any co-operation here, this section had been ignored in the call for the meeting. "Mr. Haywood," said the gentleman, "is opposed, in our opinion, for the reason that he would be very strong with the laboring vote, and this was the hope of the republicans in the next campaign."
