New Well to Go 6000 Feet, to Find What's There. Pitsburg, Feb. 2. Oil and gas pro ducers in this part of the country are greatly interested in a well that is now being drilled on the Gearv farm. in Washineton roimtv hofnean Donald and Candor. The well is being put down by the Peoule's Gas Com pany, a subsidiary comnanv of the Standard Oil, and is to be drilled 6000 ieet deep, to find out what is in the earth at that great depth. Everything in the equipment for drilling the well is double strength The derrick is S4 feet high. It will take almost a year to complete the well, even if the drillers have no bad luck. Young People to Have Meeting. Tonight the regular weekly meeting of the Young People's Club of the Fir&t Baptist church will start promtly- at & o'clock and every member is urged to be on time. The feature of the evening will be a debate on the question. "Resolved, That China should have a republican form of government." The question is a current one. The two sides have been working earnestly to secure data. The. results of their efforts give promise of lively debate, particularly owing to the facts that the ones- chosen are exert along that line. All .ro cordially invited to aiiiid. Plenty of room; plenty of heat. Blanche -L. Cole, 48, is a life-long resident of Middleboro, Mass., and Wyante Brecklebank, 50, a bachelor farmer of Quincy, Wash., were mar ried in Spokane after a courtship of 30 year.. Former District Commisisoner H B. F. MacFarland has been invited to address Boston business men in February on "Our National Capital; Its Future as a WorLd City." The in vitation was s-ent by the general sec ietary of the eGorge Washington Me morial Asociation, through the cham ber of commerce. ' - . . The ice man as well as the baker deals in frosted cakes. . S:c- the Government authorities have begun to "Round Up" a fe :f tr.p men who have so long brought odium "upon the name of honest labor, I .-r.-f '"n urged ny some editors to publicly define the reasons for my ..---?. rears' newspaper campaign pn the tyrannies of many Labor Union Sfr;e men endow colleges. Others build libraries, r.oth educational. 1 .referred to devote to newspapers my contributions toward educa tiru. warning the people to protect themselves against the greatest, most tyrannical and dangerous trust this country has ever seen. i eciaily insidious and dangerous, because its Inner plans were not irt'.ersTcod by theaverage citizen who. seeing no immediate slavery to Mu.s?!f. peacefully followed his own pursuits and blindly allowed the self 5?kiE?: Labor Leaders (?) to weave their web stronger as time went on. Not me word in my entire campaign has been uttered against peaceful trade Esscciations. . I have only tried to defend the several million honest and law-abiding workmen who protest against the bullying and abuse of those in power. No cne ?eemed to sympathize with the few "thousand widows and or phan; of ike men niurdered while faithfully trying to earn a living nnder Gods rermission but against the "orders" of the "Labor Trust." So I tried to present their cause from time to time. TLe healthy average common citizen Is perhaps deserving of at least s?ine of the inconvenience and loss put tn him from strikes and other labor leaders' tyranny, as a reward for his indifference. I knew years a?o that the plan of the big labor trust was to ultimate ly gain contrql over every workman, clerk and employe In the U. S., includ :ing frrf5apdvand gover'i(V-r?r?r. : This has been partly accomplished in' some 'localities J' tHea followed acts which clearly show the intent. First, to harvest initiation fees, sometimes up to $100.00 each to "join th? union. . Next, monthly dues. . Say $2,500.00 a month in a town with lO.Otfb "zmhfrs" at 25 cents each. Next. fines" assessed for some infraction of "rules." Then the lash of the slave driver came forth. Orders to strike; what to buy; what not to buy; how to vote; when to parade (to show pcwer: ?nd to cotribute from the hard-earned pay envelope for strike hrfi:s to other men" forced into "idleness pending negotiations between r-ooked leaders (?) and crooked employers who hire said leaders to call strikes on competitive jobs, thus making the workmen tools, kept idle while t':e chief? fcrap for control or bribe money. One of the hardest strokes of the lash Is the money forced from Eeiters to defend dynamiters, sluggers and murderers. when caught. But let an honest workman, who, perchance, has been driven into "the i.r;:.:n."' date to disobey - one of these "orders" and he is taught a lesson tr;T"c:i the siusrscing or dynamiting committees. The slavery of the honest American workingman . is pitiable when c:o?i ?hr::" full control is obtained by the tyrannical leaders. Now. observe the plan of this gang to govern men" and affairs., Organize" every trade. Insist on closed shop. Then. use the. power of nnsbers to induce government officials to permit organizing all govern ment employes. Some of the oalhs .defining that the union rules : shall "''recede Church.

V. henever openly exposed the men "higher up" Immediately begin to f':c members to protect the criminals and always rush into print with cries snd much mock sentiment about "the brotherhood of man" and "'.e-ense of the 'wage worker," with such play upon the sympathy of the P'or.I? they cover their own greed for fees and insane desire to read t-p.eir names in the papers. It would be hard to convince the widows of the twenty-one murdered rr.aE in The Lo? Angeles tragedy, and hundreds of others, that theirhus nds received much benefit from "the defense of the wage worker," nor rr''iH they well understand such working of that particular brand of the "Motherhood of man" scheme.

These murders are Instigated by that class of men. always in evidence, JJ.he success.

No troubles have arisen between I us. They, have had fifty-two weeks a year steady work for many years, are a contented, high-grade class receiving the best wages in Michigan for like service, and protected from the "frequent onslaughts . of these "Labor Leaders" (?) Mr. Gonipers has repeatedly announced in public that I sought to de stroy all organizations of labor. ; - This is in line with his regular habit of distorting facts. I have for a long time been a member of the National Association of Stationary En gineers and the National Trades and Workers Association. These are non strike and peaceful organizations which negotiate their trade agreements legally, and with peace and honor. " . I have given to the Trades and Workers Association a $400,000.00 home for their old members in furtherance of an honest desire to. help solve this most important industrial question.' ) ! In addition, I have offered to contribute a quarter of a million dollars cash to help along a workingman's movement, as defined in a letter sent Mr. Gonipers Dec. 11th, 1911. Copy herewith, 1 i - , December 11th, 1911. Mr. Samuel Gompers, Pres., American Federation of Labor, Dear Sir: Washington, D. C. Press reports indicate that .you are greatly depressed and harassed by iear ana. ipe ,ais,rep.uie oro.ugnt , on . your, .a eaerauon.. t The query, has arisen whether you are big enough to sense the move mentof a great Power which guides humanity, and to conclude that the time has arrived when "Laboi;" should be honestly represented instead of misrepresented. - v If the thought of truthful and earnest effort has come, and you honestly desire better conditions for the wage earners, may I tender to you an invitation to come out to Battle Creek for a conference with the President of the Trades and Workers Association, Mr. J. W. Bryce? If you will permit it, your expenses will be paid from the time you leave Washington until you return. You will be put up at the Sanitarium for a week or ten days rest and freedom from worry, as a guest, either of the Association or of myself, as you prefer. . When rested, let ua consider the new movement for the workingmen of America, enlisted under the banner of the National Trades and Workers Association, free from strikes, slugging, picketing, tyranny, fines, dyna miting and murder. Belonging to the American Federation of Labor are hundreds of thous ands of self-respecting and law-abiding workingmen who. are members under pressure, and who deplore the tactics you and your associates have em ployed and forced upon them. They .want steady employment fifty-two weeks in the year and do not relish being forced by strikes into idleness pending; the - negotiations" be tween crooked labor leaders seeking bribes, and crooked employers who hire said leaders to call strikes on competitive jobs, thus making the working men tools kept idle while the chiefs scrap for control or bribe money. 1 You will perhaps reject this proposal, believing that strikes are a ne cessary weapon to preserve the rights of workingmen. But the new way has been in very successful operation over two years and found to have more power than the old way. ' The honorable Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers. The National Association of Stationary Engineers and the National Trades and Workers Association perfect trade agreements without strikes, secure the highest wages and yet preserve the, respect and esteem of employers and of the mem bers themselves. , Workingmen are aroused to resentment from being forced to" contribute from their hard earned pay envelopes to defend known sluggers and mur derers, and to being heaviVy fined for not obeying the orders of leaders -When they know those leaders are simply using them to insure complete dominion over the daily lives of the American workingman. i He seeks to maintain his position as an honest, peaceful citizen and not to be forced to affiliate with and support thugs' and murderers. Personally, I have only sincere and open denunciation for the past meth ods of vou and your associates. .Nevertheless, if you are ready to join in an earnest and truthful step forward for your members and will accept this in vitation in the spirit in wnich it is given, you will be moEt welcome, and will be treated with the greatest consideration we are capable of, and in ad dition i will agree to contribute a quarter of a million dollars in cash to the new movement. The Trades and Workers now have a splendid $400,000.00 home to care for their irfdigent members, and with the addition of the members of the American Federation of Labor and it endowment we can merit' the support of the public, all working for the new day of peace with honor in the indus trial field. Yours very truly, . 'r C. W. POST. No reply has been received. It seems evident the present Leaders will not accept any offer of industrial peace which takes from them the fees, control of workmen, and curbs tneir trust metnoos. When any combination either of Capital or Labor, goes outside Its own business and attempts to oppress, tyrannize, or forcibly dictate to others and thereby "restrain trade" it becomes dangerous and should be prose cuted. .... Talk about restraint of trade! AH the capital trusts in this country couldn't bring about a minus frac tion of the loss, inconvenience, misery and crime in motion by . strike conspirators. x v The time has come when every home-owning patriotic citizen should speak in most unmistakable terms, if liberty ia to be preserved. Write President Taft asking when he will apply the law to the Labor Trust as well as the Capital Trusts. . Then write your members ofCongre, telling them clearly that you will exject them to protect yourself and other common, everyday citizens by voting down the bills these Labor Trust leaders are pressing to give them more control. One is a bill to prevent courts from issuing restraining orders to stop proposed acts of violence in strikes. Another is to allow labor leaders to re strain trade without being ub ject to- the law. You are one of a tremendous majority but you must tell your public officials your needs. Then they can act in your defense. Then question candidates and don't accept any equivocal an- Insist that trade organization can be peacefully conducted and that no laws be enacted giving leader arbitrary control over the masses. A few of the facts are now known and have been proven true. Many more will follow as the government investigation proceeds. Will, you be patriotic and painstaking enough to write, talk and vote for your own fiftffitV My work in the way of public and expensive paid . announcements on this subject i done. , . . - There's a Reason, . '- C. W. POST. .. I Southern Powtr Company Will Compete idxDurham Special to The News. 1 Durham, N. C, Fe.b. 2. Mr. George L. Lyon, who is to be the manager of the new company that will be formed here for the purpose & selling South ern power, has announced that the new corporation will begin business in a few weeks. Mr. Lyon is to leave next week for New York, where he will go over the plans with Mr. J.B. Duke, and final preparations will be made for the carrying on of the work of the new company.: Upon his return, he will be ready to start in motion the legal machinery that will form the concern into a business corporation. Mr. Lyon was not in a position to state definitely just when they will be ready to offeF their services to the city, but said that it would be within the next six months. There will be no great struggle and cut-throat competition - between the Southern Power Company and the Durham Tractio n Company, as had been predicted by someThe South ern will merely open up an office here and bid for lighting, and small power worn, l nose concerns which use a great amount of power such as the large cotton and tobacco manufactur ing plants, will buy their service di rectly from the Southern Power Com pany, and that wil not be handled in the least by the local firm of the com pany. Efficiency will be the watch word of the new corporation, and by giving better service they hope to be able to get a large share of the busi ness. As to the street car lines, Mr. Lyon stated that his company did not have that in view at all, and that they did not want any trolley system in this City. However, it is a evident fact fact that there will be some interest ing happenings when the interurban lines reach Durham. , The city of Durham .is making a bid for the location of the central ware house that i s to be erected by the State Farmers' Union. Mr. J. More head, temporary secretary of the Dur ham Commercial Club, has written a letter to Mr. H. Q. Alexander, secre tary of the farmers' union, presenting this city's claim. The committee from the farmers' organizations had a con ference one day last week with the people of Greensboro in -regard to its location in that city, but no definite action has been taken In the matter as yet. Durham has excellent railroad facilities which will be invaluable' m the business that is to be handled by the firm, and that, will be a big pull for the proposition. The warehouse to be built will, it is said, cost in the neighborhood of $1,000,000, and will be ' a considerable addition to the business of anv city that is fortunate enough to secure the location of the immense storage. " Durham superior court relconvened here yesterday morning after having stood adjourned since last Saturday. Judge Cook received a telegram during the x session of court Saturday morn ing announcing the critical illness of his son, and he left the city, immedi ately on the 11:37 a. m. train.
