MACHINISTS ABLE
•TO TAKE CARE Of
Ftllsbury. N. C.. Oct. 24.—Secretary
S. A. Grier, of the' Machinists - Union,
thU mornthg Issued a statement con
6.' earning the stand taken by his brother
machinists In the big strike.
The Southern railway yesterday sup-
planted the 160 regulars and the forty
apprentices with about 70 men. taken
from the cars under heavy guard. They
we’ra under Detective Haney, of the
Southern, when they alighted from the
cars, but they were not In the least
‘ disturbed.
Statement of Grier.
Grier’s statement follows:
"At least ten days before the strike
was ordered our committee submitted
to Mr. Spencer, general manager, a
proposition of 2 cento Increase for ma
chinists and 1 cent for apprentices,
which was a very material reduction of
our Brat request. After finding that he
would not agree to that, we assured
him we would recommend favorably to
our men at home nny proposition he
would make us along the line of a sub.
stantlal general Increase. He declined
flatly to consider a general Increase of
any kind, claiming that If he-granted
such an Increase to one class of em
ployees that nc would have to give to
all other trades a general raise ft
wages.
Left to the Officers.
"Our committee returned home, leav
Ing the matter In the hands of our
grand lodge officers, with the under
standing that If no adjustment could
be reached the men would be ordered
out On October 8 the call came; the
men. knowing their cause was a just
one, quit work quietly and the strike
was on over the entire system. After
being out four days, we received
proposition from the company that If
we would return to work Haturday, Oc
tober 18, that the committee would be
received early the following week and
an honorable adjustment could be
reached. A vote was taken and tho
proposition voted down unanimously,
the men claiming that as the company
had been unfair with the committee at
different times for six weeks and had
not offered what we considered a fair
proposition, that wa had no reason to
believe that they would be any more
fair after we had resumed work, and
that we should know what we were
going to receive before we returned to
work, t
Returned to Washington.
"Then a call came from our grand
lodge officers for our committee to re
turn to Washington to meet the com
pany again. We did so, and the general
manager proposed to us the question of
arbitration, as published In the papers
of ths 20th and 21st Instant.
"In the meantime the committee of
the boilermakers and the committee
representing the pipefitters, tinners and
coppersmiths, were In conference with
the officials of the road, and secured
satisfactory settlement for tile men
they represented. The boilermakers
receive practically a 2-cent flat In-
create, Just what we had Informed Mr.
Spencer that we would have accepted
ten days before the strike was called.
And the pipefitters, coppersmiths and
tinners were granted Increases for all
their men varying from 11-2 to 3 cents
an hour.
Machinists 8aid "No."
"Considering the foregoing facts. Is
It at all natural to suppose that the
machinists would be witling to arbi
trate for what we had agreed to take
before we went out, and what the com-
No Sympathetic Strike Will
Follow Troubles of
the Union.
There will be no sympathetic strike
on the Southern railway as a result
of the strike of the machinists.
Reports from Washington, published
In several newspapers; were to the
effect that all the union men In the
shops of the Southern railway may be
called out In a sympathetic strike. The
local machinists and labor union offi
cials knew nothing of such reports un
til Wednesday morning, and they did
not hesitate to express the opinion
that they are wholly false.
'We don't believe In sympathetic
strikes," said an official of the ma
chinists' union.
"We have not, nor will we ever, ask
members of any other union to leare
their work In sympathy, for us. Wo
are fighting our own fight. We Intend
to win out by our own eftqrts. The
men are determined. They are confi
dent that they are right and that the
people generally so believe.
"The Idea of a sympathetic strike Is
something new to ms, In connection
with the present trouble between the
Southern and the machinists. It Is
true that there Is no prospect of an
Immediate or near settlement of the
difficulty In sight. 1 believe so strong
ly that I may say I know there won’t
be a strike of sympathy by the other
union men of the Southern."
After seeing' this prominent man In
ths machinists' organisation, one high
up In labor union circles was shown a
dispatch published In an out-of-town
newspaper In which the report of a
threatened sympathetic strike was
given.
"The Idea Is preposterous, ridicu
lous," he sold.
"THe machinists' union Is strong
enough to win Its own fight. A sym
pathetic strike Is a back number, any
way. Sometimes It does good, but It
has been my observation that It
usually results In more harm than
benefit.
"If all trades were Joined together
under one head and In just one or
ganisation, It would be a difficult
question. As It Is the machinists be
long to one union, the boiler-makers
another, the carpenters another, the
blacksmiths another, and the llremen
another. Bach has a separata contract
with the Southern. Do you think the
International would let the men vio
late these contracts at will?
•The union that most of the talk Is
about would be the last one to go out
on a strike. This Is the boiler-makers'
union. Why, they have Just received
an Increase In wages of 10 per cent.
Now, wouldn't they be a pretty set of
fools to go out on a strike?
"And then, ns I said before, the
machinists don't need any help. They
belong to a strong organization and
are amply able to take care ol them-
selves."
pany considered fnlr to give to others?
our men said 'No,' and we think our
stand was Jus% taken.
"The boilermakers nnd machinists
have always been considered on tho
same basis by the Southern and have
been paid the same rate of wages. Then
why shnuldr we be called upon to ar
bitrate for what the company gave
them?
"Referring to the statement publish-
ed as to the rates being paid the op-
r rent Ices: Instead of receiving from
1.25 to 81.75 per day. the apprentices
are paid the following prices: For the
first year, 74 cents; second year. »«
cents; third year, 81.10. and the fourth
year, 81.26 per day. Also, that we are
not making a demand for a shorter
day, but that the whole light Is for a
slight Increase of pay.”

... THE LADDER
By ELLA WHEELER WILCOX.
. Unto each mox-tal, who comes to earth,
A ladder is given by God, at birth.
And up this, ladder the soul must go,
Step by step, to the center of space,
On this ladder of lives, to the Starting Place.
In time departed (which yet endures)
I shaped my ladder, and you shaped yours.
Whatever they are—they art; what we made:
A ladder of light, or a ladder of shade,
A ladder of love, or a hateful thing,
A ladder of strength, or a wavering string.
A ladder of gold, or a ladder of straw,
Each is the ladder of righteous LAW.
We flung them away at the call of death,
We took them again with the next life breath.
For a keeper stands by the great birth gates;
As each soul passes, its ladder waits.
Though mine be narrow, and yours be broad,
On my ladder alone can t climb to God.
On yftur ladder alone can your feet ascend,
For none may borrow, and none may lend.
If toil and trouble and pain are found,
Twisted and corded, to form each round,
If rusted iron or mouldering wood
Is the fragile frame, you must make it good,
You must build it over and fashion-it strong,
Tho’ the task be as hard as your life is long;
For up this ladder the pathway leads
To earthly pleasures ana spirit needs;
And all that may come in another way
Shall be but illusion, and will not stay.
In useless effort, then, waste no time;
Rebuild your ladder, and climb and climb.

For Tariff Revision.
The flrst resolution Introduced for
tariff revision Is as follows;
Whereas. The present tariff sched
ule was arrangod for the purpose of
reviving the Industries of the United
State* flrom the prostration under
which they had been suffering for sev
eral years, by affording adequate pro
tection to those engaged In manufac
ture and production In this country
ufneture and production In foreign
countries; and.
Whereas, The operation of the law-
containing the schedule has accom
plished tho purpose of which It was
enacted, both In the matter of revising
said Interests by the protection afford
ed and In that of raising revenue; and.
Whereas, The said schedule Is now
nearly ten years old. and by long opera
tion has become cumbersome on some
Industries, inadequate for many and so
excessive for others as to lack stimu
lation for new and additionally com
petitive enterprises under contempla
tion; and.
Whereas. The popular vote which
warranted the Dlngley bill was cast
for the enactment Into law and the
maintenance of the principle of pro
tection. and not for any particular
schedule; amt.
Whereas, The principle of protection
to American Industries can be best
maintained by constant-adjustment to
altered trade conditions, anti will be
most Injured by permitting protective
schedules to remain fixed after they
have by economic changes become In
effective, stifling or burdensome to In
dustry;
Resolved, therefore, by the Carriage
Builders' National Assignation In bus
iness meeting assembled at Atlanta,
On., on this, the 22d day of October,
A. D. 1808, That It la the sense of this
association that the present tariff
schedule of the Dlngley bill should be
revised; that It should be revised at
once, end that the revision should bo
made by the friends of the protective
principle while they have the power to
from Atlanta.

copy of the resolutions and to certify
the correctness of the said copy and
forward same to his excellency, Theo
dore Roosevelt, president of the United
States, for such action as may be
deemed best.
Separate From Polities.
The second resolution Is stiy - more
significant In Its recommendations.
Is as follows;
Whereas, The question of a tariff
upon goods Imported ’ from foreign
countries Into tho United States has
been a matter of public discussion be.
tween the political parties In the coun
try for more than one hundred yean
during which practically all the knowl
edge possible to be obtained upon the
subject has been published and Is now
recorded In American literature and
accessible to all persons, and
Whereas, There Is now no considers
blc number of persons In this country
who otlleve that absolute free trade be
tween the United States and foreign
countries Is either wise or practicable,
or even possible, n competitive prod
ucts; and,
Whereas, The great difference. In
opinion between the adherents of the
two great political parties Into which
the voters of tho United States are now
and always have been divided, Is to
whether tariffs on Imported competi
tive products should be levied for the
sole purpose of producing revenue
without regard to the securing of pro
tection to American industries; or lev-
fed mainly with a view to protection,
with revenue as Incidental In purpose;
and,
Whereas, The drift of American opin
ion In both parties has been steadily
toward protective tariff theory, until
now the people are rapidly approach
ing unanimity In favor of a fair pro
tective tariff policy; nnd,
Whereas, The tariff question Is not
properly a party question, and never
should bo made so In a way to fairly
align voters, nor have been permitted
to become a question of party dispute,
as It was purely un economic question,
Ilka hanking nnd should be considered
coldly and judiciously and never. In
the warmth of party strife, and should
nt once and for all time withdraw
from party discussion and party
strife.
Be It resolved by the Carriage
Builders' National Association now In
business session In the city of Atlanta,
On., nnd It Is hereby Resolved, That
It Is the sense of the members of this
association that the tariff question Is
not a party question, and that It
should not be allowed to either remain
one or to become one again; that the
whole subject should be withdrawn
from partisan discussion and should
become In the main an administrative
matter entirely; that, perhaps, the
best way to accomplish this would be
to turn the whole question of admin
istrating the tariff over to one of the
present departments of the govern
ment; or. If It can be constitutionally
done, to have a permanent board of
commercial experts and commissioners
appointed by the government to take
charge of the entire matter; said body
to be In constant session and to have
the power jnatantly to change acbed-

of this association be, and that he Is

Is stopping at the Hotel Astor, Alto.
Go. The colonel Is a great admirer of
this mountain country. He Is building
a holiday home here for himself and
his beautiful wife, who will be remem
bered by many who met the colonel on
his former visit here, when Mrs. Burehe
was with hint. The colonel Is very dis-
tlngulahed-looklng, bears a striking re-
semblqnce to General Longstreet. He
was on General Hancock's staff In the
war of secession, and frequently led
forces which were opposed by Long-
street; he has a warm admiration for
that doughty captain of the Confeder
ate armies. "We had pretty good rea
son to know General Longstreet well,"
he says. “Good opportunities for find
ing out what *i great soldier he was.
When I go to Gainesville I shall pay my
respects to his widow." Colonel
Burche's sister-in-law, Miss Walker, of
Canada, Is also at ths Hotel Astor. Ths
colonel Is building a bungalow for
her here. Miss Walker has bought a
peach orchard In thla section. Mr.
Charlton, of Canada, Is also stopping
at the Astor. The colonel will leav*
for Chicago In a few days, and In a
month perhaps will return with- Mrs.
Burehe, whose home will then be ready.
Colonel Burehe will be remembered by
many as the author of the beautiful de
scriptive article, “Beulah Land," which
appeared In The Amet-lcan Sheep
Breeder soon after his first visit to this
region, and was afterwards reproduced
In a pamphlet de luxe.
