OUR RALEIGH
COMMUMICAnON
inia mines to supply shipment orders
ow on file at these mines from North
v’arolina. And the Senator generally
;ets action when he goes after it.
RALEIGH, N. C,, September 4.—
This is Labor Day minus the usual
celebrations in Raleigh and vicinity.
The workers are not apparently
taking kindly the drastic action pro
posed by the Attorney General of
the United States to restrain mem
bers of various railway employee’s
organizations from in any way hinder
ing the operation of the railroads of
the counti-y and emphatically deny
th(> charge that tbey have been doing
more than conducting a legal and
onierly strike to obtain a living wage
auil more favorable -<l’orking condi
tions. Orderly picketing, they con-
toiul, has been employetl but no
violence advised or condoned. Ac
cording to court decision^, picketing
conducted in an orderly manner is
permissible. Labor leaders have in
no instance sought to stay the hand
of the law. They condemn the aJ-
tioii of a few irresponsible radicals
in inciting to riot and willingly ac-
• lui'^co in every etrort to protect life
and property.
What is to be the effect of the At
torney CJeneral’s blanket injunction
is problematical. Similar proceed
ings have been started in a number
of localities with the approval of
lahor organizations. No one has es
sayed to suggest that men out on
strike should be compelled to go back
to their jobs. Involuntary servitude
is not contemplated in the constitu
tion of state anj federal govern
ments. All citizens worthy of the
name agree that life and property
thoulil be protected. North Caroling
workers adhere to this principle and
will go to any length to enforce it.
The condition into which the coun
try has drifted is deplorable io the
extreme, but all of the trouble can
not be justly placed at the doors of
the railroail sho}) crafts, acconiing to '
their spokesmen. lentil a counciiia-
lory spirit is exorcised by both sides
to the controversy, there will be no
peace, for nothing is ever settk\j un
til it is settled right. In the mean
time, development projects are at a
standstill and hundreds of people, in
nowise involve^] in the strike, are idle '
because of the inability of the rail-
roads to deliver mat'-rials,—to say
nothing of the coal famine now im- i
pending. |
E»espite the present tie up in ali |
road constructieji, on account of the i
railroad strike, the State Highway I
Commission reci'ntly let contracts for ^
lb,' buildin;v of 200 i.,ilos of rja.ls
and a number of large bridges. This |
runs the total expenditure for roads !
authorized since the first of the year ■
to $23,000,000 and provides for the
construction of 1.114 miles. Of th;>
200 miles of read lately let to con- ;
tract 12o miUs is to be of hai'd sur-
•face. Another link yet to be arrang- '
cd for will bring the total hard sur
face mileage for the year to r)65, a !
record not excelled anywhere is the i
country for a similar pfrioti. Recent
contracts, aggregating a cost of ?4,-
751,304j include construction work i
in Cleveland, McDowell, Rutherford j
and Buncombe counties, located in
Ihe eighth and ninth road districts. ;
Coal Director IL O. Self is ativi ;ed
that the mines are ready to fill or- |
ders now when cars to bring it oui
.can be maile available. He has taken '
;<teps to adjust this difficulty. A while ‘
ago there were j)!enty of cars, but no i
coal. Now the reverse is true and
Senator Simmons has been called to j
the rescue. Commissioner Aitche.-on {
■of the Interstate Commerce Commis- j
Bion, who is ilirccting the distribution i
of cars, ha.> been aske.l to place suffi-
cent cars at Virginia and West Vir-
Affected by V\rorid War.
As a result of a physical examlna*
lion of regular army oflicers reeently
army surgeons have foimd clear evi
dence by physical deterioration caused
i»y strain incident to the prosecution of
ihe World war. A large percentage
of the officers show either excessive
high or abnormal low blooil pressure.

How to Accomplish
More VYofk In One Day
To BEpopv.’arr.')v/-a-days, farm tools must not only
do their v/n*!: v/ell, but they must do it with less
man-power. V7c rking along these lines, Swayne,
Robinson & CoIvIPANY of Richmond, Indiana,
have been unur,::a’ly successful in the design of a
Money-Makz::: nrer.s fcr the Fordson.
Unusual str^nsth, dependability and capacity are
the important qualities needed in a press to be
operated by the B'ordson. All these qualities are
secured in the design and construction of the Money-
Maker.
Strength is secured by putting into each press the
highest quality of material and the quantity of
iinetal necessary, worked up in correctly designed
(parts. Take, lor example, the gears that must
withstand intermittent severe strains. The most
carefully compourded semi-steel is used in casting
them and in addition, they are given rigid, perma
nent alignment iu a continuous iron bed plate and
heavy bearings.
Neither in the making oi the gears nor in the
construction of the frame is any sacrifice made to>
meet competition. It has been the SWAYNE-
ROBINSON Policy for eighty years to boild the
best tools possible v/ithout regard to the price at
which corrpeting tools might be sold. Fortunately
for farmers, the pojicy has made sales so large that
qu.antity production of Mcney-Maker machines
has kept the price down to tiie lowest level.
