AFTER THE BATTLE
Here in this leafy place.
Quiet he liec*
CoM, and with sightless face
Turned to the skies.
Tis but a poor man dead.
All you can say is. said.
Carry his body hence.
Wealth must have slaves.
Wealth climbs to eminence
Over men’s graves.
Throw the earth over him. '
This poor man's eyes are dim.
—By Austin Dobson, noted English
poet.

Knoxville Forging
Ahead In Way Of
Labor Organization
KNOXVILLE, Tenn., May 6.—With
the newly-organised Textile Union of
the Appalachian Mills obligating from
50 to 115 new members every Satur
day night, and with continued steady
progress being made by the Local Un
ion of the Standard Knitting Mill em
ployes, it is little wonder that many
workers in the Cherokee and other
plants are caling upon C. L. U. offi
cials and organizers for assistance in
organizing Local Unions in these
plants. R. O. Ross, of the Machin
ists Local Union, has done yeoman
ry service in assisting the textile
workers, and has had the enthusiastic
support of all active workers in the
Central Labor Union. John W. Pol
lard, U. T. W. organizer, has been
here several weeks and has made
many friends by his loyal services not
only to the textile workers but to all
labor groups.
The Local Union of Flour Mill
Workers is making some progress,
and as a result of the direct interest
now being taken in this organization
by the Central Labor Union, it is be
lieved that it will soon grow into suf
ficient strength to demand and obtain

In all lines much progress is being

NEW YORK—Bernarr Mac
