for a second term. Tlio other counties
In tho district, Iiiiltunn, Anntrmij; nml
Cltirion, will eoiiocrio Mr. Smith tlio
nomlnntlon In tho district for n second
torm, It hnvlnp Wit tho custom In thin
district to rIvo tho ConpreBHinnn two
torms In succession. Cniixldcrlnrr tho
fact that Hon. W. O. Smith's ability to
represent tho puoplii In tho leiflnhitnro
or congress Ih ho woll known to tho
pooplo of this county, anil that ho will
not have any opposition for tho nomi
nation, It Is not necoRHiiry for us to en
IorIzo tho gcntlcmnn or nilvoeato his
cause at this time.
Thore is nothing so ancient ns yes
terday's nowspnper. The jrrcnt presses
of the country turn out their numberloHs'
editions tiny after day and nn tinker pub
Ho, with an appetite inxntinhlti for
variety, dovours tho day's paper and
throws It awny, risking only n moment's
diversion, cnrlng not who may furniHh
It. And so It Is that though each paper
and many articles In It nitty represent
the work of many nn able jourimliHt,
tholr labor and nrtieles hnro but the
life of a tiny and are forgotten. It Ik
raroly thnt the pors'innllty of any writer
Impresses Its, if BodlHtiiietly on li Ih work
at to attract K)clal ut tent ioti, and
rarer still when much of the work I
done tinder thn niBlt and preSBtirc of a
modern dally. Headers of the Plttshuru
Times will regret tho pnssing of one of
thee exceptional journnllHts from its
staff. For years tho signed articles of
Blon H. Ikitler appearing in Its coin in ih
havo been one of the most plonslng
features of that pitpor. A man of wide
experience, a graduate of tho "univer
sity of hard knocks," he had learned
the art of writing In a homely, uncon
ventional style which never flagged In
interest. Whother In Russian oil fields,
weBtorn boom towns, describing new In
dustries, Interviewing some picturesque
pioneer character, or just telling tho
delights of a rambling jaunt ovor rural
roads, his homely philosophy was ever
present and made It all peculiarly
entertaining. The thousands who have
followed his pen with delight for so
long will wish him happiness In his new
North Carolina home.
When capital and labor are at odds,
whon strikes and riots prevail, It is cus
tomary for a long suffering people to
wish that employers and tholr omplnyoos
night get togethorand act In harmony.
In Chicago they have tried the experi
ment and a surprised, and indignant
public is praying for a roturn to lack of
harmony. Fivo years ago the coal
teamsters of the olty organized and be
gan a fight for Increased wages. The
coal team ownors, In defonso, organized
an employers' association. The contost
ended in viotory for tho employees, hut
with unusual provisions : for while the
team owners bound thcmsolves to era
ploy none but members of this particular
union, the teamstora, on their part,
Creed not to work for any firm that
did not belong to tbo omployors' asso
ciation. Now in such a strongly union
ized city as Chloago this agreemont
' practically drove all independent team
. owners out of existence, for even had
they attempted to deliver coal with
non-union drivers, the said drivers
would have returned with broken heads.
That's a strenuous way the unions have
in Chloago. Having a complete mon
oply, the coal delivery combination pro
ceeded to make the most of it. First
the teamsters raised their own wages
from 15 to 35 per cont, to that many a
coal teamster lb Chicago now earns
from. 1100 to $120 a month ; and to pro
vent possible attempts to cut wages, tbe
teamsters' union has 118,000 In It treas
ury for warfare. The coal team ownors,
secure In their complete monopoly, at
onoe raised the price of coal cartage, so
that a load of coal formerly costing tin
people 11.40 now sells for $2 00. Finding
extortion so easy, the combination br
eam aggressive. Many large firms In
Chicago um d natural gas plied In from
Indiana during tbe summer months, uu
account of Its cleanliness, but had te re
turn to coal In tbe winter beouufce of
shortage of gas. Of course tbe use of
gas cut in heavily on tbe sale of ooul In
the summer. So tbe ooal team owners,
backed up by their union employees,
calmly ordered the owners of tbe bus
iness blocks to quit using gas, tear out
tbe gas plumbing in their buildings,
aud use coal exclusively, or they would
refuse to haul any ooal for them during
the winter. In tbe face of such an un-
Iust demand they were helpless. They
lad to have coal- They could get it
only through the association. And tbe
M pipes were torn out.
