The Concord Daily Tribune
STONE CALLS ON LABOR TO
IMTE FOR WORLD PEACE
Menace ()J the Next War Overshadows
All Other Issues.
•By the Aasnetatetl Pren I
Cleveland. Sfpt. 3.-—" The menace of the
next war overshadows all other issues
which confront the laboring man and
the achievements of centuries of human
progress ■will be swept away by another
red title unless the workers exert their
political power to banish forever this
(courage of mnnkiutl," Warren S. Stone,
grand chief of tlie 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
,his country as well as in. other lands,
for the manteuance of permanent world
peace,” Sir. Stone asserted.
"The second great issue in which the
workers of America, are involved is the
struggle between autocracy and democ
•acy in industry. Tlie stability, tlie har
mony, and the prosperity of the nation's
economic fabric is at stake. There Can
uot. thre should not be industrial peace
until the men who invest all they have—
their labor and their lives in the nation's
basic industries, have n voice in direct
ing tin- destiny of those industries, at
least equal to that of tlie men who mere
ly invest their money.*
"Democracy iii jgovevnment goes hand
in hand with democracy in industry.
Because we have ignored tlie latter, w if
ire in danger of losing the former. If
the workers of America are not to slip
•tick into a state of economic serfdom,
they must organize their political power
as never before, and use it regardless of
party labels to Secure honest, efficient,
and imperial government. Here lies the
remedy for tlie 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
Congress in responsce to tlie almost un
animous demand of tlie American |>eo
ple.
"On tiiis day constipated to the holi
ness of human toil, the workers of the
nation take stock of what they have al
ready achieved, re-direct their cpnttse in
line WiTh tabor s' ideals, atitl pledge anew
their (ff-votion to the cause of creating a i
uappier, nobler, and more abuudant life j
for all mankind. For labor's purposes ]
are not selfish.
"But. the present Labor Day finds us |
at one of tlie most critical periods in tin-1
American history. Problems such as our j
grandfathers never knew, are pressing
us for dlolution. The conferences and in
trigues of diplomats and politicans, the !
exhortations of clergymen, and tlie reso
luthins of all sorts of civic clubs have
alike failed to solve these problems. It
remains for the masses of the, workers
who produce aud transport all the neces
sities of life to organize and use their
theireconomic and political power if
civilization itself is to survive the force
of hate, greed and selfishness which no\V
imperil it.”

lEU LABORER
BETTER OFF THIN OF
MU OTHER*™
Says Secretary Davis in La
bor Day Speech Made at
Birmingham. Elsewhere
There is Economic Chaos.
HERE PEACE AND
PROSPERITY EXIST
Abroad Unemployment is the
Rule and Wages Are Low,
While in America General
ly Wages Are High.
(Wy tlie AanocraYefl Prc«N.)
Birmingham. Ala.. Sept. 3.—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
(lie banner of industrial peace and pros
perity. James .1. Davis, secretary of labor
declared today in a Labor Day address
here. " r
Abroad unemployment is the rule, lie
said, and wages are low. many workers
being paid a mere snbsisteifve wage,
"bile in America wages general.v are as
high as they ever have been and every
workman who is willing and able to work
has tlie opportunity to till a job.. The
secretary, who recently returned from a
trip to Europe, asserted he is more and
more convinced "of the wisdom of tlie
conviction of our late President, War
ren G. Harding, in his belief tlint the
hope of the world lies in this country."
"Both through the pay envelope and
through various systems of profit shar
ings, Ml'. Davis said, "many industries
are reaching that condition of ail equita
ble division of tlie proceeds of production
between the men who manage labor and
the men whose labor makes industry
possible. On this basis alone can we in
sure permanent progress and growing
prosperity." •
Tiiis Labor Day, tlie secretary said,
finds the working men and women of
America at tlie close of twelve months
of steady progress, of peace and pros
perity. but marked by one great loss,—
the death of Warren <L Hat-ding. Mr.
-Harding) swi<U*he secretary, was a great
friend of America's toilers.
"During tlie more than two years of
his service, labor in America made great
er strides in steady, consistent, material
and moral progress than it had during
any similar period in the history of our
country. Under his calm guidance,
without beating of drums or sounding of
trumpets, tlie American workman was
led from hjic verge of economic chaos to
stable employment, record wages, and
improved conditions. Not since the foun
dations of tlie Republic’ lias American
labor, organized and unorganized been in
better condition tli.au it is on tiiis Labor
I >ny."
The memory of Harding, said Mr.
Davis, will ever live ill the hearts of
American labor. He declared President
Harding was tlie 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.
"B.v this measure." Mr. Davis declared,
"and b.v his wise economic polities which
lie followed, lie soon brought tlie coun
try out of the trough of industrial col
lapse and out again on the plain straight
load 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 praetical.v eli
minated from the great basic industry of
our country, the steel industry. Follow
ing his leadership, the Department of
Labor has secured ail agreement among
manufacturers of boxboard looking to
the end of tlie 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 tlie time is not far distant when no
workman in tiiis country wil be forced
to work more than eight hours a day, 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
lie hoped "to live to see that Labor Day
of the future when no American industry
will allow any dispute betwen worker
and employer to reach the strike stage
with its misery, sorrow and despair.”

BURNING WRECK NEAR LINWOOD
CAUSES BIG DAMAGE AND DELAY
Traffic on Southern Main Line Blocked
Man Hours IVlten 16 Cars Leave the
Rails.
Greensboro News.
Derailment of 16 freight cars in a
southbound train at 2 :30 o'clock Sunday
morning near Linwood. a way-station
six miles south of Lexington, followed
almost immediately b.v 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 accident 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 3 -.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 tlie trouble zone
striving to make their schedules. Im
portant trains detoured were No. 30
and No. 136. both northbound; and No.
31. 33 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
tlie wreck occurred for more than 32
hours.
Tlie train wrecked was a southbound
extra through freight of 63 ears pulled
by engine No. 4756. a large locomotive
of tiie Mikado type. Engineer Beas
ley was at the throtttie and Conductor
Fowler was in charge of the train. The
breaking of a draw-head on the freight
ear second from tlie engine is assigned
by tlie 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 tlie Linwood accident, the
wreck from tlie standpoint, of property
damage and delays to traffic, is regarded
as one of the most serious which has
occurred on the Danville division of tlie
Southern for several years.
-J»-tkc work of (-tearing the tracks, the
burning of the wreck occasioned groat
delays and presented a situation fraught
with great difficulties. Wrecking crews
reached the scene promptly, hut there
were no means available for quenching
the lire. Men worked laboriously in
the beat 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.
1 he 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.
