Tribune Bureau r 4»bv» ‘ Sir Waiter Hotel -Raleigh, Oct. 11—Tue proposal at tributed to Frank -D. Grist, state eom inlssioner of labor, some days ago in aolhe press dispatches to import Mex ican labor to help solve the shortage or eottpu pickers, has drawn fire from the Junior Order of United American Mechanics, whose stale councillor, C. W. Snyder, has written Mr. Grist, naking if he actually proposed such a plan. He states that, there must have been some mistake, but adds that if it is true, t'.ie Jr. O. U. A. M. will oppose the move to the extent of its ability. Mr. Grist has replied that he had no intention of advocating the impor tutWni of Mexican labor, even if it were practical or imssible. which it patently was not. He stated that the press dispatches in question came about qs the result of a conversation with a.press representative in which Hfik- cotlah altuation was diacusaei' sad •^3s#«Bryr&-*i? ‘fan pickers could he used in the state right fibw than were available,” said Ms. OHkt "The man to whom I was tfiiklng mentioned the fact that In Tegla they were using a large amount of Mexican labor, the laborers heing brought in from Mexico. 1 re plied that that might be a good plan '.lerv, provided we eould send them all back when the cotton picking was over with. I made the remark largely in jest and supposed it woul# be in terpreted that way, for it is patently impossible to consider importing labor at all, and also undesirable.” ?ie one is more op|>osed to the im porlation of foreign labor than he is. said Mr. Grist, and no official con sideration has been given to the pro posal to bring in Mexican labor, de spite the present shortage in common labor, especially cotton pickers.

And then, came the Battle of Lex ington, in Massachusettes—and more speed, for those days. New Bern 'ueard of the battle on May Bth, Wil mington on May Bth. In ten days New Bern had organized into mili tary companies and by June Ist the Royal Governor had fled to the Brit ish Fort Johnston for refuge.
