A Troublesome Problem.
TV.
Just now there is a problem be
forre the people of the United
States of much greater actual im
portance than the race problem has
ever been.
What shall be done to harmonize
the antagonisms of organized capi
tal and organized labor? is a prob
lem that menaces the material in
terests of all the people of this great
republic.
Of course the organization of cap
ital in industrial enterprise is for
the purpose of increasing the profits
and power of the capital thus organ
ized.
As a foil to organized capital, and
a protection to laborers, unions have
been formed, and thus organized
labor has become pitted against the
force of organized capital. Where
harmony should prevail, often an
tagonisms are manifest. Strikes en
sue, factories and laborers become
idle, loss to the capitalists, loss and
sufferings to laborers and loss to the
consuming public follow.
Just now a coal famine, is threat
ened, especially in the north, east
and middle west, because of the
strike of 160,000 anthracite coal
miners that has been in progress five
months or more.
It is needless to go into the caus
es of the strike here. The mine op
erators refused the demands of the
miners and the strike ensued. Fre
quent efforts at compromise failed.
The miners and their families suf
fered, the mines were closed, coal
became soarce, and the price steadi
ly advanoed. Then came disorder,
riots, property was destroyed, peo
ple were killed, and yet the contest
between organized capital and or
ganized labor continued. Thous
ands of state troops of Pennsylvania
have been in the mine regions to
preserve order and protect people
and property.
Last week President Roosevelt
attempted to interfere, and on Fri
days he held a conference with six
officials of the ooal companies and
four representatives of 'the minei.r
organization. In behalf of the pcT
pie he suggested that each* * s • •-
should make concessions.
President Mitchell of the min in'
union, agreed to abide by arbi tui
tion arranged by Presided! Roose
velt, or a commission he might ap
point.
To this the mine owners refused
to agree, and demanded that the
government proteot them in the op
eration of the mines,.. #
The situation forms a problem
that effects the entire people of the
republic.
It has been suggested that re
ceivers for the ooal companies be ap
pointed and the mines be by them
operated, regardless of the conten
tions of operators or miners.
It is also suggested that the min
ing properties be purchased by state
or federal government and operated
for the general benefit.
Whatever remedy may be applied,
arbitration, purchase, or government
control, the rights of the people are
involved, and the best statesman
ship is in demand.
This strike is only one of many
within the last several years* but it
has affected the general people more
nearly than any other, in reducing
the supply pf coal needed by rail
roads, factories and in the homes of
the people.
The Farmers’ Congress.
At Macon the Farmers’ National
congress is in session, beginning at
10 o’clock Tuesday morning, and
continuing two sessions daily
through Friday.
Delegates from, every state in the
Union were appointed. The sub
jects considered are of national im
port, and eaoh session is attractive.
Macon is displaying admirable hos
pitality.
Agricultural exhibits are display
ed by. Bibb, Jones and Laurens
counties, and the Southern Railway
Co. Liberal premiums will be paid.
The sessions of the congress are
held in the Academy of Music, and
the exhibits are displayed under
large tents in the park in front of
that building and the county court
house on Mulberry street.
After the congress adjourns the
delegates will be given compliment
ary excursions to several points in
Florida and to Savannah.
Georgia needs several large stock
farms, and an increase in the num
ber of cattle on nearly all the small
farms.
In the City of Macon during the
fall of-1901 there was organized an
institution to transact only a Say
ings Bank and Trust Company busi
ness, by some of Macon’s most
prominent 1 business men and this
institution was named the Home
Savings-Bank. This Bank does not
solicit any commercial or other ac
tive accounts, but receives on de
posit any and all amounts from
twenty five (25) cents up, upon
which they pay interest, compound
ing same semi-annually, the first
days of January and July.
The primary object of this insti
tution is to assist the man of .mod
erate means to lay aside something
for the proverbial “rainy day” and
by the interest that is paid him to
enable him to amass a snug amount
to his credit tbe Booner.
The Trust Company department
is empowered by law to act as
Guardian, Administrator, Executor,
Agent, Receiver, Assignee or Trus

way to cure deafness, and that is by constitu

flamed condition of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube gets inflam

hearing, and when it s entirely closed deafness
is the result, and unless the inflamrilation can

which is nothing but an inflamed condition of
the mucous surfaces.
