M. —“The menace of tin , next war overshadows all other issue: which confront the laboring man ant the achievements of centuries of humat progress will be swept away by auothei red tide unless the workers exert then political power to banish forever, thh s< out age of mankind.” Warren S. Stone grand chief of the Brotherhood of Loco motive Engineers, said in ’a Labor Day message today. “American Labor can render no great er service than to secure the cooperation of forward looking men and women in .this country as well as in other lands, j for the mantenance of permanent world peace." Mr. Stone asserted, j “The second great issue in which the ■ workers of America are involved is the ‘ struggle between autocracy and democ racy in industry. The stability, the har : mony, and the prosperity of th<* nation's economic fabric is at stake. There can not. thro snould not be industrial peace until the meij, who invest all they have— i their labor and their lives in the nation’s basi«* industries, have a voice in dirivt ing the destiny of those industries, at least equal to that of the men who mere ily invest their money. I “Democracy in government goes hand in hand with democracy ‘in industry. Because we have ignored the latter, we are in danger of losing the former. If j the workers of America tire not to slip t Hack into a state of economic serfdom, j they must organize their political power | as never before, and use it regardless of I party labels to secure honest, efficient, ■and imperial government. Here lies the I remedy for the usurped veto power of the courts which enables a few reaction ary judges appointed for life and removed from the voice and needs of the people, !to nullify child labor laws, minimum ] wage protection for women, and other < humane reforms repeatedly enacted by j Congress in respousce to the almost uu jitnimous demand of the American peo ] l>le. "On this day consecrated to the holi : ness of human toil, the workers of the | nation take stock, of what they have al ready achieved, re-direct their course m I line with labor’s ideals, pledge anew their devotion to the cause of creating a Tuippier* nobler, aud more abundant life for all mankind. For labor’s purposes !are not selfish. “But. the present Labor Day finds us ,at one of the most critical periods in the .American history. Problems such as our j grandfathers never knew, are pressing us for solution. The conferences and in trigues of diplomats and politicans, the exhortations of clergymen, and tin* reso lutions of all sorts of civic clubs have -alike failed to solve these problems. It ] remains for the masses of the workers i whft produce and transport all the neces sities of life to organize and use their 1 theireeonomic and political power if ] civilization itself is to survive the force lof hate, greed and selfishness which now | imperil it." , I’eiitral Methodist Sunday School Picnic.

HERE PEACE AND PROSPERITY EXIST Abroad Unemployment is the Rule and Wages Are Low, While in America General ly Wages Are High. Birmingham, Ala.. Sept. B.—Both workman and employer are better off in America than anywhere in the world to day and while everywhere else there is political and economic chaos, it is only in this country that employers and work man are moving steadily forward under the banner of industrial peace ami pros perity, James J. Davis, secretary of labor declared today in a Labor Day address here. Abroad unemployment is the mle. he said, and wages are low. many workers being paid a mere subsisfleifce wage, while in America wages generaly are as high as they ever have been and every workman who is willing and able to work has the opportunity to fill a job.. The secretary, who recently returned from a trfp to Europe, asserted he is more and more convinced “of the wisdom of the conviction of our late President. War ren G. Harding, in his belief that the hope of the world lies in this county." “Both through the pay envelope arid through various systems of profit shar ings,” Mr. Davis said, “many industries are reaching that condition of an equita ble division of the proceeds of production between the men who manage labor ami the men whose labor makes industry possible. On this? basis alone can we in sure permanent progress and growing prosperity.” This Labor Day, the secretary said, finds the working men and .women of America at the close of twelve months of steady progress, of peace and pros perity, but marked by one great loss.— the death of Warren G. Harding. Mr. Harding, said the secretary, was a great friend of America’s toilers. “During the more than two years of his service, labor in America made great er strides in steady, consistent, material and moral progress tlmu it had during any similar period in the history of our country. Under his calm guidance, without beatiug of drums or sounding of trumpets, the American workman was led from the verge of economic chaos to stable employment, record wages, and improved conditions. Not since the foun dations of the Republic lqis American labor, organized and unorganized been iu better condition than it is on this Labor Day.” The itiemor.v of Harding, said Mr. Davis, will ever live in the hearts of American labor. He declared President Harding was, the first president of this country with the courage and vision to approve legislation restricting immigra tion to this country, thus protecting the American worker from- foreign, low-wage competition. “By this measure.” Mr. Davis declared, “and by his wise economic policies which lie followed, he soon brought tin* coun try out of tin* trough of industrial col lapse and out again on the plain straight road of industrial stability. “It was through his untiring industry and devotion to the ideals of American labor that this Labor Day finds that archaic institution, the .12-hour workday and the seven-day week practiealy eli minated from the great basic industry of our country, the steel industry. Follow ing his leadership, the Department of Labor has secured an agreement among manufacturers of boxhoard looking to the end of the twelve-hour day in that industry. “It is my confident belief that the spirt of President Harding will continue to fight the cause of American labor and that the time is not far distant when no workman in this country wil be forced to work more than eight hours a (lay, six days a week.” Mr. Davis said Harding has insisted that the time to settle industrial dis putes was before they reached the point of employment of force, .and added that he hoped “to live to see that Labor Day of the future when no American industry will allow any dispute betweri worker and employer to reach the strike stage with its misery, sorrow and despair. A new era for labor has been reached in the United States, he declared, —the I era of the educated workman. He said that within the past few years educated Americans have been turning more and more to the manual and mechanical trades and that progress is being made away from the fetish of the white collav job. Referring again to the late president. Mr. Davis said Harding s faith irt the equality of worker and employer in in dustry based on intelligent craftsman ship and intelligent management, was strikingly illustrated during the coal strike of 1822 when a mixed delegation of some sixty operators and miners met with him at the white house. “As he looked /bout him at the men who stood in a scattered group, he said, with that kindly smile of which endeared him to all who knetC- him : ‘Men, except for some of you whom I know personally, I cannot tell who here are the and who are the workers.’ Then, with a nod of satisfaction, he added : ‘And this is as it should be.’ “Truly Divine Providence guides the dastinies of our nation." said Secretary Davis. “For President Harding for the (Continued on Page Two). League Delegates Hrueful Over Gr tAW * r, _ vauan Case BURNING WRECK NEAR LIN WOOD CAUSES BIG DAMAGE ANI) DELAY Traffic on Southern Main Line Blocked Man Hours When 16 Cars Leave the Rails. Greensboro News. Derailment of lfi freight cars in a southbound train at 2:80 o'clock Sunday morning near Linwood. a way-station six miles south of Lexington, followed almost, immediately by a spectacular conflagration when the mass of wreck age burst into flames, caused heavy prop erty loss, blocked traffic for many hours and made it necessary to detour import ant fast trains, moving both north and south. No personal injuries were re ported. After long and strenuous hours of hard work by wrecking crews hurried to the scene of the aceident from Greens boro and Spencer the northbound track was reported “clear” at 11 :20 o'clock Sunday morning and the southbound track was open for traffic at 8 :15 o’clock' Sunday afternoon. While flames leaped high over the wreckage near Linwood where workmen, battling through the night in the exces sive heat, sought to clear the rails of debris, fast passenger trains detoured via. Winston-Salem and Barber Junction, were moving around the trouble zone striving to make their schedules. Im portant trains detoured* were No. 80 and No. 186, both northbound: and No. 81, 88 and 11. southbound. All of these of them were far behind their schedules, trains lost time on the detour and some Freight traje was practically suspended over that portion of the main line where the wreck occurred for more thau 12 Hours. The train wrecked was a southbound extra through freight of 68 cars pulled by engine No. 4756, a large locomotive of the Mikado type. Engineer Beas ley was at the throttle and Conductor Fowler was in charge of the train. The breaking of a draw-head on the freight car second from the engine is assigned by the train crew as the cause of the derailment which occurred at a point two miles north of the Linwood station. Trainmen report the train was running 30 miles an hour when the accident hap pened. While no personal injuries have been reported from the Linwood accident, the wreck from the standpoint of property damage and delays to traffic, is regarded as one of the most serious which has occurred on the Danville division of the Southern for several years. In the work of clearing the tracks, the burning of the wreck’ occasioned great delays and presented a situation fraught with great difficulties. , Wrecking crews reached the scene promptly, but there were no means available for quenching the fire. Men worked laboriously in ‘he heat of the roaring flames but they could accomplish little until the fire had completed its work of destruction. When the wreck was -practically burned there were left great heaps- of glowing embers, red hot iron and fiery masses of wrecked materials on the grounds where the wrecking crews had to do their work. The element of time entered largely into the work, since every minute of delay meant a longer tie-up for traffic over a most important section of rails.
