Eoitob at Ok PwtoHIc as aecond das matter. 80CIAL SECTIONALISM. tmbo day was celebrated iq Syr i by tut immense parade and by a very sensible - Address by President .Roosevelt, earnestly protesting agalast social sectionalism. The warning was Mldressed directly to the unions, since unionism has a tendency under its STT-eaent management to promote this Actnd of sectionalism by arraying one section of society against another. This Is a form of social disease that is especially to be dreaded In a demo cratic country. Indeed the existence of democratic institutions and this iorm of malady Is incompatible. In sv democracy one class must not be arrayed against another, and in pro tortion as this is done democratic ideas are obscured. The president's doctrine is all right. But his practice is all wrong. If there is one man in America to day who is an offender in resject to aocial sectionalism, that man is Pros ident Roosevelt. He has, albeit un wittingly, done more than any other auan to array the negro against the white man when it conn h to the rela tion of the races. - President McKin ley, although appointing more ne jfroos to office than Roosevelt, never at any time raised the social disturb ance that Roosevelt has raised. The president is too much of a rough rider most any way that you take it. 9 THE TRUE AIM OF THE UNION By THOMAS L KIDD. Vice PreaWent American Federation f Ubor 9. 9A i , I E 0 1111 EDITOR MARSHALL'S LETTER. In another column we reproduce a letter written by Editor Marshall, late president of the North Carolina Press Association, to the Scotland Neck Commonwealth during the recent pro Mhllion campaign in Scotland Neck. The letter covers points that apply to Kinston's condition, now that the dispensary question is under consld ration. Although Scotland Neck defeated straight prohibition by a few votes, that. fact does not invalidate the state ments contained in Mr. Marshall's letter. Turkey Is one of those countries with which our commerce consists principally of imports. Id 1002 we exported to Turkey cot Vto goods, provisions, agricultural Implements, manufactures of iron and steel, and mineral oil. In that year w imported, principally from Turkey In Europe, ruga and carpets, $2,253, 288; tobacco, $840,874; hides and skins (chiefly goatskins), $812,218; oils, t06,2D2, and wool, 1187,798. From Turkey in Asia, licorice root was the largest item, $987,287; wool, $575,273; onium. S40L113: flers. S.W3.678; dates. 42UMS08, and raisins, $136,227. From Tarkey in Africa -Egypt cotton amounted to $9,525,533: sugar, $1,351, 838; and gum arable, $206,196.

" HOUSANDS of well meaning workingmen Believe society to be arrayed against them and consider the military and the police to be the subjugating took of capital. Knowing that labor war and riote mean the ar raying of workingmen "against workingmen, tha un ion aims to bring about that PEACE BETWEEN ALL CLASSES for which the Declaration of Independence provided. During the agitation of the n'ziif Ian boundary trouble the trades union congress of Ctch? Britain passed stern resolutions declaring that workingui(!n would refuse to shoulder a gun to butcher American workingmen on account of capitalistic questions in which they have no interest. t at at With Henry D. Lloyd I believe THE SAFETY OF THIS REPUBLIC DEPENDS ON ORCJANl.ED LABOR more than .i . it . r. ii .1 . upon any otner institution. int, aner an, are mere many riots luring strikes ( Out of the l'.',000 strikes involving 2,000,000 per sons in seven vears not even 1 per coat were accompanied bv riots. 'Will tlie same percentage hold regarding political conventions? The people making charges against unionism are not many, but THEY ARE ACTIVE. The leader of an association of employers does not truly represent the employers of the country, but the employ ers of the Pinkerti'iis, uho incite to violence, are the chief denoun cers of uiii -ns. Who hired the coal and iron police during the an- thrnii e strike? The few men who were guilty of more degrada tions than the l.0,0!) striking workers. Who white capped the Colorado miners? Who instigated the Danville and Evansville riots? Who are lynching in southern and in northern states? USUALLY THOSE OPPOSED TO UNIONISM. The organ ization of labor, meaning higher wages and belter conditions, eas ily accounts for the antagonism of employers. Simple ignorance of the-eondkions -of thousands of workingmen and their families -ae counts for mucli unjust opposition to organized labor. st The attempts to make capital out of the charges against strike leaders are nullified by the orders issued by John Mitchell and sim ilar orders issued many times by strike leaders. All differences be tween railroad companies and railroad organizations are settled by conciliation or arhitration. MANY STRIKES ARE CAUSED NOW BY THE AUTOCRATIC, AR ROGANT EMPLOYER WHO D0E8 NOT BELIEVE WORKINGMEN HAVE ANY RIGHTS TO BE RESPECTED. MOBS AND RIOTS USU ALLY OCCUR WHERE EMPLOYERS ARE OF THAT CALIBER. If the charges that New York labor leaders are bribe takers are proved thev should receive punishment to fit the crime. While we punish bribe takers LET US NOT FORGET THE BRIBE GIVER. Let society mete out punishment to both the equally guilty parties. It is unfair to charge unions with the guilt ane. wrongdoing of a few men. The church, the professions, the col leges all are misrepresented by the actions of individuals. t t I cannot emphasize this fact too strongly that while the trades unions do wrong they are not alone in wrongdoing. A judge doe not justify them for the wrong they do. At the same time it must be borne in mind that MOST UNION MEN ARE IGNO RANT. They have been toiling for many years and know no better. In conclusion, we want the support of the church. If we do wrong it is right to chide us, but we should not be abused and vili fied for doing that for which others are honored and praised. WITH THE CHURCH BEHIND THE UNION TO AID IT AND AD VISE IT THE UNION WOULD BECOME A POWER FOR GOOD THAT WOULD BE VERY HARD INDEED TO ESTIMATE.
