THE STRIKERS' PAPER.
It lias made Its Appearance at
; J Salisbury Its' Alm.
The striking machinists at Spencer
have published a paper which they say
they intend to send out daily. Its
name is The Broad Axe, and it is de
voted to the interests of the strikers.
In its editorial columns, Sunder - the
caption of "First Wrords," it says?
In the face of the most bitter oppo-
sition the Daily Broad-Axe makes its
appearance. No tongue nor pen can
tioscr.oe tne many miseranie metnocis
lnat nave been used by the enemies
of organized labor to head off the pub-
lication of a newspaper that wage-
earners can call their friend.
The Broad-Axe banners were un
banners
furled to the breezes, and soon the
bowling winds of opposition raged,
and the raged rascals ranged their
lusty muskets, and now we see the
goose that stood behind the gun,
dead ?"
The policy of this paper is under the
control of a committee appointed by
ThP Salisbury Central Labor Union.
committee is composed of repre
setntatives from each trade union of
Salisbury and are men of sound judg
ment and good sense. It Is their pur
pose to have the paper conducted on
a broad guage basis. They believe
that all men are born equal and that
eo belong in the ranks of organized
labor is not a crime.
ttt v,n v,o triarT tn livp in neace
TVe shall be giaa to ne m peace
ith all men. If we cannot, then we
with all men
shall be glad to live. The paper will
speak out against the oppressor, but
shall speak kindly of the friendly
manufacturer. Its policy shall be to
build us, and not break down deserv
ing men and measures. The question
of education shall be disucssed con
tinuously in these columns. .
Many a man who is open to con
viction manages to escape it by hang
ing tjhe jury.
At,-the age of sweet sixteen a wo
man's rights are several lengths ahead
of a man's.
COUNTER PETITION PRESENTED.
PRESENTED LAST NIGHT "BY REV. W.
Li. GRISsOM.
The Board of Aldermen Hold a Most In
teresting: Session A Baggage Transfer
Ordinance Passed Other Matters Passed
Upon.
The Board of Aldermen met last
night in adjourned session, with the
following aldermen present: Merri
mon, Helms, Bain, Denny, Sefgeant,
Glascock, Phipps, Elam and Sherwood.
This being an adjourned meeting no
minutes were read.
Dr. W. L. Grissom presented
a petition from citizens residing on
West Market street, and streets lying
adjacent thereto, asking that the said
street be graded, and put in condition
for the operation thereon of a street
railway, and asking further that no
amendment be made to the franchise
already granted the Greensboro Elec
tric Company, prohibiting their operat
ing street cars on the said street. Th?s
petition was signed by 90 persons.
It was maved that the petition be re
ferred to the Street Committee. Car
ried. Mr. G. C. Hampton presented a peti
tion signed by. a number of citizens
living on Lithia street and streets ad
jacent thereto, asking that Lithia
street be graded so that the car line
could be run on said street. Moved that
this petition be referred to the Street
Committee. Carried.
Mr. Z. V. Taylor appeared and asked
that the Board pass an ordinance that
no person or persons shall engage in
the business of baggage transfer with
out a license,and without having depos
ited with city a certified bond of $500
to indemnify any person whose bag
gage is lost or damaged. Not less than
three wagons shall be operated by any
firm or individual, and the drivers of
each and every wajjon shall wear a
uniform, to wit, a cap, bearing th2
name of the party owning the line,
and underneath the word, bonded.
Alderman Bain thought that the or
dinance was a monopoly and that per
son who was a responsible person and
could give the necessary bond but who
could operate but one wagon, should
be kept out.
Alderman Merrimon moved that the
clause relating to the number of wa
gons be changed to one. Motion lost
by a vote of 6 to S, and the ordinance
was adopted by a similar vote.
Mr. Taylor asked that an inspector
be appointed, whose business it shall
be to inspect the wiring of every house
before turning electricity in said house,
said inspector to file a report of each
house wired with the city clerk, before
the current is turned in. Said inspect
or's fee for inspecting a house to be
51.00.
Moved that the office of electric ins
pector be created. Carried.
Alderman Glascock moved that Mr.
F. A. Barr be elected electric inspector
Carried.
Mr. P. D. Gold, Jr., asked that the
Board make some arrangements where
by the meeting of the Press Associa
tion may be held in the now uncom
pleted auditorium in the City Hall,
whether the building has been received
by the city or not. Alderman Glascock
moved that the matter be referred to
the building committee and that the
city attorney with power to act. Car
ried. Alderman Denny moved that a war
rant be ordered drawn in favor of Ab
bott & Hobbs in payment of their
working setting curbing. Carried.
The settling committee, which is
composed of the Finance Committee,
made their report. This report, is in
a large measure a reproduction of the
renort of the city treasurer, publish-
ed in The Telegram about the first of

Mr. Merrimon stated that the Fi-
nance Committee had waited upon the
ff t banks in the city asking them
to Bubmitaa proposition to loan the
Mtv a sum of mony necessary to meet
the current indebtedness of th citg
. T.rnn & Trust GsOmDS

to charge the city 4 per cent interest
on same, the said bank to be designat
ed the depository of the city.
Alderman Sherwood thought that
the money remaining over from the
electric bonds could be loaned the city
and used to pay warrants until the tax
money came in.
The City Attorney said that the loan -ing
of the money in that manner would
be contrary to the provisions of the
bill, which specifically stated that the
money was to be used in the maaner
specified, and none other. He also
thought that the city could not ap
point any bank as a depository unless
the treasurer agreed, as the official
had charter privileges which would
have to be changed before the city
could designate a depository without
his consent.
Alderman Merrimon moved that the
proposition submitted by the Southern
Loan & Trust Company be accepted
by the Board, and that the city treas
urer be requested to give his consent
thereto. (A detailed account of this
matter appears in another column.)
Alderman Helms moved that the Fi
nance Committee and the Mayor be
empowered to borrow an amount not to
exceed $25,000 to pay all indebtedness
of the city until August. Carried.
Alderman Helms introduced an or-
dinace to the effect that any person
convicted of defacing or destrying bill
board advertisements or signs be fined
not less than $1 nor more than $20.
Carried.
The question of a license tax being
charged to manufacturers was brought
up, and it was moved and carried that
all manufacturers be charged no spe
cial license tax. Board adjourned.
A Dangerou Place,
Ashevilie Citizen.
The death of Marvin Crowell by
drowning in Montiford park yesterday
is the second misfortune which has be
fallen a member of the family of Jo
seph Crowell with in the last few
weeks. Another son, as told in The
Citizen recently, had his leg sprained
by a horse falling on him, and he ha
not yet recovered.
The Montford park pond is an ex
ceedingly dangerous place to go swim
ming for one like young Crowell, who
could not swim. The pond is only about
15 feet across, but it is 10 feet deep in
the center and the banks are very
shelving. Boys have been in swimming
there very frequently lately, and could
not be kept out. Capt. C. H. Camp
bell of the park has made every effort
to keep the boys out. He drove1 them
away whenever he knew of their being
there, and intended to have the next
boy he caught there arrested to make
an example of him.
The interment of young Crowell will
take place today at Hendersonville.
where his parents have relatives buri
ed. The body was taken there on the
afternoon train south. There was a
service here, held at 1 o'clock at th'j
residence on Seney street.
At the Baptist Church.
The Children's Day exercises at the
First Baptist church last night was
well attended, and those who went
were amply repaid for their presence.
The little tots acquitted themselves
weli. Their songs and recitations were
fresh and sweet, and were pleasing
to the listeners.
The recitations of eight of the tots,
four of them costumed as Chinese, and
four as Americans, was a pleasing fea
ture of the evening.
One of the prettiest features of the
evening, a solo by Miss Ula Adams,was
omitted because of the misplacement
of the music.
