Mount Airy ML Airy, 19.1 j. m. jamnon * torn, HUHnrmmoN batM: One year WJ • Alllaa fitrminy thaaa day» »pa and la the oonfe trying to t tip to thia time bwn adjoat «l. Germaay MWiil to tha disbanding erf her army to 100,000 man, bat thay /at haea aa many aa 200,000. Tka Al llaa demand that tha aoldtora ha aent hnma at on«a, and many other things ara heing damand ad Ona intereettai fart la coming to light aa tha raauit of thaaa confer anraa. Whan Garmany gave ay tha fight tha man want home but carried their gana and amunition with tham. By every rale of modam war tha gana xhould hava haan laft with tha army headquarter* and not to tha private homaa of tha citiiena. Bat confaaion waa no great In tha land that two mil llona of thaaa gana ware never turned in to the government, and there ara alao large number* of machine gana and other weapons of war yet oat among tha people. Tha Alllaa figure that there are now In the poiaaaion of the people of Germany (officiant waa* pone to equip an army of neveral mil lion men. They demand that all tMa war material ha mi (Tendered and de stroyed. German official* aay that they are afraid to demand theae guna from the people for fear of riota, hut the Alllea plainly tell them that unleaa thia war material ia mirrendered they will occupy more Germany territory and hold it until the demand ia met. German officiala ara showing a spirit of willingness to not cauae fur ther trouble than they have ever ahown before since the treaty waa signed. A Notable Suffrage Meeting A few day* ago there wn* held in the city of London ■ mee'ln* of wom en who favor giving ini- rignf to vn*o to women. Delegate* from all over the world attended the meeting. Pome will wall the great struggle the women of England put up to gain the ballot during the few years proceed ing the war. At that time there were only five or nix countries where wom en could vpte and none of these were nationn of importance. It wa* brought out at this rerent meeting that aa many aa sixteen nations are now in line with suffrage and other* are in a way to follow. Among the great na tion* that have given women the right to vote are Great Britain, Ru**ia. Get many and a large part of the t'uited State*. The .speeches made at thi* meeting indicate that it is only a short time ahead until women in all the nations of the earth will share equally with the men the right of the ballot. Road Location Settled In Car roll After much conferring the location of the road to he made in Carroll county was finally settled on Wednes day morning as Hillsville when the Highway Commission of the state of Virginia and the Carroll officials de cided to build the road from Jackson Ferry, in the north of Carroll county, to the North Carolina line by way of Hillsville and Fancy Gap. There was an effort to make this road in other parts of the county. There were those who tried to get it to start from Galax and go through the county from west to east. Other* wanted the road to from Galax tm Hillsville and on to Jackson Ferry, making a horse shoe in the county, serving only one corner of the county. If either of these ideas had won the part of Carroll that is sooth of the mountain would have re ceived no benefit from the road, and about one-fifth of the county is this ■Me of the mountain. The new road aa it now will be built will be a hard sur face road and will mean more to this city than any other road that could be made, for it will bring the trade from much of Carroll to this city and will aiean that northern travel on its way to the South from the North will come through this county. Much credit Is due the citizens «f this city who have pot la ne little time and money in the effort to get this latest ruling made that assures aa that the road will serve the people en this side of the mosmtata , ^tropa DntH *»T Hail. 1 Bad hail storm (n Dm Rorkford (ac tion Pi (day aftvmoon M rnnrtdw abb daauga to On tobacco craps. tW fnOevtar fitMn —tahud loaaaa: M. 0.

The men hars who operate tha various in doatriaa—tha Granite Cutting plants and tha fumttura factoriea, hare agreed to ssrk union labor and make agreements with tha men on condi tio na worked out in confarenca. Bw there haa arisen a condition han during the past few days that is something naw to our people. A few 'lays ago a mar. rlaiming to he from tha north, came hare and got huav forming aa organisation of laborer* who worlc at the quarry doing the work of trstUng out stone for the cut ters. The situation is such that It would not h« understood without an explanation of aome length The <mar ry here covers aa much aa 7fi acres of iirmund and the man who gat out tha stone must neci saarlly work in the open- without shelter over than This makes it a dry weather Job. This work of getting out stone la largely Hone by farmers who live about hi the n< >h borhood and work at tha quarry r-hen it ia convenient. As msny aa 1400 i| get work of this nature during he year at the Quarry, and not orar or 50 men work regularly at thia busi ness. The nature of the qtinrrytag is such that large amounts of stona can he worked out while the weather is open and conditiona such that the work ran he done. The quarrying of stone ia not practical here in aerern cold weather. For these reasons it has not been considered a regular Job at tha quarry bv a large number of the men who are '-m ployed. i Knowing theae facts when the lahor organizer came here Mr. J. D Sargent Superintendent of the Quarry. told the men plainly that It was not practical to form a union of the mm who get out the stone. sad asked them not to (oin a union of thia kind. His advice wan ignored and six men were dis charged as the rrsult Ijitrr several other men quit because of their sym pathy for the onea discharged If thia was all of the story we would not be writing about it. The airly feature i« that some of the men who have quit get credit for making threat* again at the men who are willing to work These threats have become so promi nent that men are known to be afraid to go to their joha at the Quarry Men have been warned to not go there to work and are afraid to not heed the warning. It ia not our huaineaa to bring into question the right or the wisdom of the Quarry in tts action of refusing to work union men at thia Joh'of getting oat stone—that ia their business Neither arc we dispoaed to raise the question of whether or not the men had the- right to Join the onion—that, too, ia their boaineas Bat we are slow to think that out people about here would resort to threats of violence on their own initi ative. If thia ia part of the work of the organiser—if he proposes to carry hia plana to perfection by patting thoughts of violent* into the heads of the men be ia organizing, and ia doing this for the little na that he gets for cacti man who Joins the onion under his advice, if he ia doing all thia it ia high Ubm the strong arm of the law leta him know that thia la a civilised section of the country and will not at and far Bolahevie Ubm Wi doubt if titer* I* • man about here who would not condemn met Soda that most resort to threat* of ttekw in order to recreed Let the men orrmntxe if they want to. and let the Quarry ret out ita ■tone tn any way it eaa, bnt let the dhrnity of the law and the aafety of the Htm of oar people be upheld if the (tate militia moat come hert to pro tect the Mbertiee and IKraa of the men who want work and ire willing ta work.
