Vice President Marshall one remarked that lie was not sure whether the vice presidency was an office or a disease. At any rate that office sends a man into the shadows, and nobody ever thinks about him as part of the machinery of government. Mr. Coolidge who is the President of the United States has neith er added to nor detracted from liis repu tation since he was elected \ ice l'resi (lfiit. He showed himself to be a good, presiding officer, but that is about all lie lias done in Washington. But as Gov tumor of Massachusetts lie revealed the qualities tit courage and of wisdom, that give assurance that lie will make us a good President. He is a modest man I with no fondness for the limelight. He is a typical New England Yankee who : lias no pleasure in making lavish dis play or in spending his money for noth ing. fte is a mail of excelled culture, and lias had a tine opportunity to learn the functions of government, as he was a member of the cabinet group and at tended • its meetings regularly. Presi dent Coolidge says the policies of his predecessor will be continued. The country will hope for the new President a happy and useful career airhead of the mightiest nation in the world. He has leaped at one bound from comparative obscurity to a position upon which the sunlight of the world beatts. It is a trying ordeal.in his experience and his ; job calls for a big man. We hope the bitter critics will hold their totugues nTid pends until the man lias a chance rot prove what is in him. _ Notice to Winecott School Pupils.

STATE FEDERATION OF LABOR IN -SESSION AT GREENSBORO Barrett and Moody Withdraw, and Bar ringer is Chosen President. Special to Charlotte Observer. Greensboro, Aug. 15.—Harmony ruled iu the concluding session of the conven tion of the North Carolina Federation of Labor here today. Candidates over whom there might Ugve r been a hard fight gracefully withdrew, and a dark tyn-se. C. P. Barringer, of Salisbury, was elected president of the federation. He is a union man to the core, being chair man of the state executive board of the Brotherhood of Railway Clerks. The election was by acclimation, af ter .Tnme« F. Ilarrett, of Charlotte, and W. F. Moody, of Raleigh, withdrew their names. Barrett presented Barringer's named. With one exception all the other officers were elected by acclima tion. A resolution passed today asks repre sentative in Congress to vote for'a bill to be presented which will provide that when a law is declared unconstitutional by the United States supreme court and the same law is ugain passed by Con gress and signed by the President it be comes law of the land. The federation voted to lend its full xupiHirt to ythe textile workers to the end that they “may ndvance in orderly course, through organization and educa tion, to that happy plane of the stand ard work day. wages in keeping with other craftsmen, and, above all, to the point where they shall have a voice in their own working and living condi tions.” Barrett declared that the textile work ers constitute the largest body of work ers in the state, “yet they receive less pay. work longer hours per week and have the poorest working conditions.” and further stated they are under the tfbsolute control of employer, not only in the mills but in their home#. | Mr. Oliver's talk was interesting. He is a trainmen who went in the shop men’s strike last summer and is still out. Barrett asked him wlmt about the negroes who have gone from the south' to Pennsylvania, and Oliver said they are given inferior work, such as wiping engines and are often thrown witli Chinamen in their work. The proposal for a garnishment law, proposed and defeated at the last ses sion of the general assembly, was con demned in a resolution passed today, federation officers being asked t</ make active campaign against candidates for the legislature who pledge .themselves for the garnishment law. Harry, Etaugh told the convention that the textile operators are facing the prospect of a strike in the near future. He asked the federation delega-tes not to condemn the mill operatives in case they strike, but holy- crystalize sentiment in favor of the textile workers, stating that in North Charlotte the mills are controlled by officers of the. law and that workers are discharged for no other reason than that tbfy joined labor un ions./ Factionalism was given £ blow by the convention just ‘ended, anif now’ it ap pears, from the lack of dispute at the convention, the federation people are more in accord than they, have been for some time. There may be some under current of dissastifaction. because of the regime of J. M. Ellis, of Spencer, who was president last year,- but it- did not: become a public matter.. . Ellis did pot ( attend the convention although -Me’,w; J s slated to-preside. l.
