' ', .The-following, outburst appeared in Charity and Children, of last week:s: issued Charity, andchildren is the official organ : of the Baptist Orphanage at Thomasvilie, N: C; Just where a publication of that sort gets its license to editorialize on a njatter 9wnI9h. the . "editor is so denselv ie- norant is more than , we can under- BWUU!. a e - Aavocate wonders just how the laboring people in the Bap tist Church feel toward the following tirade published in ; their church or gan. It looks to The Advocate as if there was room' heref for a eall-down of the brilliant editor of Charity anJ Children. Read the thing: , . , JLabor's Demands. - , ..."Two things, have conspired to make labor , unreasonable and over- bearing -the war -and the adminis tratiour Thd outrageous prices that were paid for war work of all kinds; except the most dangerous and exact ing work of all, namely, that of the private soldier, demoralized tne labor, conditions " everywhere. The other cause rof the unreasonable demands of labor is the attitude' of the admin istration, which '.from the beginning na .pandered to the labor element and -i made" concessions and raised prices that' were not even demanded Dy j tne laboring ) people themselves , This ; lsr illustrated by the fact ' that the public utilities under the control of the' government have been bank rupted'-by the enormous advance in wages,' which tie employees did not have:- the face to : ask. t We have an-i omer illustration in the sentiment that seems to -prevail in Washington to lift the- ban on wine and: beer in order to furhishjlabpring' people with the liquor they feel that- they must have. There "is danger that the President, in order to placate tie cr that comes from the Federation of Labor, headed by Samuel Gompers, will issue- a . proclamation exempting wine and beer, f rom the provisions of the prohibition law: The plain truth is, we are in , the grip of the laboring men, .and the politicians are afraid to speak, for fear they will offend the wprkingmenT and; the "I fruits , oCthe favoritism - that has : been ' shown1 to the laboring .people are seen in - the unheard-of ' prices that people are oDiitgea to pay ror-any kind of work in ehop 'or field. If a man decides to paint his house, he is. at the mercy of painters who demand from 6 0 cents to a dollar an hour; and all other lines of labor are so high as to be beyond the reach of all; except the wealthy. Salaried men, school teachers,, and' everybody else; except the magnates, must do their own work, or" let it go undone. Labor is cfazy,and getting crazier. Farm era tell us that labor on the farm is out of the question. : The government has ruined the whole business in or der to 'make itself solid rwith the workingmen." : : - "- - Now, Mr. Editor of Charity, and Children, - guardian of little orphans that you Vare, ' get your Bible down "and study a few hourl on this mat ter.' You are ignOranCor misleading, one or . the other. ..There are no J out rageous prices" being paid labor any where , by anybody, when the ques tion' of the outrageous prices charged for the necessities of life are 'consid ered. Labor has made no -"unjust demands," and 60;eents an hour'-for a? painter is a poor wage, where your friends, the moneyed men, "charge that same laborer, for bread and meat as he is now being charged. Why don't you rip .the profiteer up tlje back, Mr: ' Johnson? You ought to know. what a little child's dress costs now, on account of the profiteer. . You ought to know what food' coats. You' ought to know above-all things, that if all workmen received a fair and just wagei there? would be but few orphan children 7 in ? your home for charity ? and ; the i Baptist ; Church to support. .You, a man in whom trust is placed and upon whose shoulders rests the respoasibility of ; helping to lead aright, many - little fellows who have been lef alone in' this' world t you .snouia oe sure 01 your suDject matter when .writing something on a question of such .interest You are wrong- - dead wrong and ; we can prove it by some of the' leading Bap tist ministers of the State.- Asheville Advocate. - ' '!

J.: Reynolds Tobacco Company at Reynolda Inn' last Thursday night at : 8 o'clock, and laid the demands of the Tobacco Workers before them. - 1' "We understand that the Tobacco Workers are asking for a straight 8-hour day and pay t at the present : dayj wage, together with the return ot ; all:, former employees ot': the company to their former jobs. at once, There r are ? said, also, to ?, be , other slight reforms asked. ; - 4 ; "We are informed that -the best of; feeling was displayed at the meeting f by both sides. . The union committee was - accorded a mtjstt careful and courteous"-" hearing, and the .repre sentatives, of the company asked for a short extension of time in order to enable them to get all the stockhold ers of the company together for . a conference before deciding definitely upon the matter. - "It is expected that the demands of unions t will, be acted upon within the x next ' few days certainly not later than a week or ten days." v 'KEEP ONE EYE OPEN.' - It behooves labor' in America to keep a close watch on the story that foreign- laborers are leaving 1 this . country in such numbers? as will. cause a labor shortage, say " the ' United Mine Workers Journal, whose editor declares that even if 1,300,000V. foreigners leave, ; as has been stated "there will be 'still a sufiBcient labor supply.", ; " ,' "It is well to remember that even during the war, when the ; demand i for labor was at its highest point,! when industries, shops; si mills, and . mines, were striving to meet the ex- v traordinary demands that were made 6n them, there was no time when j they failed to meet the unusual re quirements. And 1 now the war is over. The extraordinary demand has' disappeared.. Shops, mills, and fac tories and; mines are not working to their capacity not yet. i There is in this country plenty of labor to supply all of the -requirements of industry.
