MACHINISTS ABLE
TO TAKE CARE OF
Salisbury. N. C„ Oct. 24.—Secretary
8. A. Orler. of the .Machinist* - Union,
this- morning Issued a statement con
cerning the stand taken by his brother
machinists In the big strike.
The Southern railway yesterday sup
planted the UO regulars and the forty
apprentices with about 70 men, taken
fmm the cars under heavy guard. They
Were under Detective Haney, of the
i 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 14r. Spencer, general manager,
proposition of 2 cents Increase for ma
chinists and 1 cent for apprentices,
which was a very material reduction of
our flrst request. After finding that he
would not agree to that, we assured
him we would recommend favorably to
our rqen at home any, proposition he
would make us along the line of a sub.
atantlal 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 he would have to give to
all other trades a general raise '
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 fust
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 It
we would return to work Saturday, Oc
tober IS, that the committee would be
received early the following week and
bn honorable adjustment could be
reached. A vote was taken and the
proposition voted down unanimously,
the men claiming that as the company
had bean unfair with the committee at
different times for six weeks and had
not offered what we considered a fair
pro position, that ws 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.
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 the SOth and 21st Instant.
"In the meantime the committee of
tbs boilermakers nnd the committee
representing the pipefitters, tinners and
coppersmiths, were In conference with
the officials of the road, and secured
satisfactory settlement for the men
they represented. The boilermakers
receive practically a 2-cent flat in
crease. just what we had Informed Mr.
Spencer that we would have accepted
ten days before th# strike was called.
And the pipefitters, coppersmiths and
tinners were granted Increases for all
their men varying from 11-3 to 3 cents
an hour.
Machinists 8ald “No.”
"Considering the foregoing facts, is
It at all natural to auppose that the
machinists would be willing 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 t||o strike of the machinists.
Reports from Washington, published
In several newspapej-s, were to the
effect that all the union then In the
shops of the Southern railway may be
called out In a sympathetic strike. The
local machinists and labor union off!
clals knew nothing of such repdrts un
til Wednesday morning, and they did
not hesitate to express the op(jilon
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 Jeava
their work In sympathy for us. We
kre fighting our own fight. We Intend
to win out by our own efforts. 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 me. 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 eight. I 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
the 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 said.
"The machinists’ union Is strong
enough to win Its own light. 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* firemen
another. Each has a separate contract
with the Southern. Do you think the
International would let th* men vio
late these contracts at will?
"The union that most of the talk la
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 30 per cent.
Now, wouldn't they be a pretty set of
fools to go out on a strike?
"And then, as I said before, the
machinists don't need any help. They
belong to a strong organisation and
are amply able to take care of them
selves."
pany considered fair to give to others?
Our" men said 'No,' and we think our
stand was Justly taken.
"The boilermakers nnd machinists
have always been considered on 'the
same basis by the Southern and have
been paid the same rate of wage* Then
why should 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 th* ap
prentices: Instead of receiving from
81,25 to 81.75 per day, tho apprentices
are paid the following prices: For th*
first year, 74 cents; second year, 80
cents; third year. 81.10, and the fourth
year, 81-25 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 mortal, 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 are 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 I climb to God.
On your ladder alone can your feet ascend,
For none m&y borrow, and hone 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 and 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.

Sspsrste Fj-om Politics.
The second resolution Is still more
significant In Its recommendations'. It
Is as follows;
Whereas, The, question of a tariff
upon goods Imported from foreign
countries Into the United States has
been a matter of public glgcusslon be
tween the political parties In the coun
try for more than one hundred years
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
b!e number of persons In this country
who otll-vo 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 the United State* are now
and always have been divided, Is to
whether tariffs on Imported competi
tive product* should be levied for the
Bole purpose of producing • revenue
without regard to the securing of pro
tection tn 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; and.
Whereas, The tariff question Is not

For Tariff Rsvislon.
Th* flrst resolution Introduced for
tariff revlilon is as follows:
Whereas, The presont tariff sched
ule was arranged for the purpose of
reviving the Industries of the United
States from the prostration under
which they had been suffering for sev
oral years, by affording adequate pro
tectlon to those engaged In manufac
ture and production in this country
against unfair competition on the part
of th* people engaged In similar man
ufacture and production tn foreign
countries; and.
Whereas, The operation of the law
containing the schedule has accom
plished the purpose of which It was
enacted, troth In the matter of revising
said Interests by the protection nfford-
cd end 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 nnd so
excessive for others as to lack stimu
lation for new and additionally com
petitive enterprise* under contempla
tion: and.
Whereas. The popular vote which
warranted the Dlngley bill wna cast
for the enactment Into law nnd the
maintenance of the principle of pro
tection, nnd not for any particular
schedule; and.
Whereas, The principle of protection
to American Industries can be best
maintained by constant adjustment to
altered trade conditions, and 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 Association In bus
iness meeting assembled at Atlanta,
Oa.. on this, tho 22d day of October.
A. D. 1304, That it Is the sense of this
association that the present tariff
schedule of the Dlngley bill should be
revised; that It should be revised at
once, nnd that the revision should be
made by the friends of the protective
principle While they have the power to
carry through the revision, .and before
the subject can be carried into polltl
as tt was purely an economic question,
like banking nnd should be considered
coldly anti Judiciously and never In
the warmth of party strife, and should
nt once and tor all time withdraw
from party discussion and party
strife.
Bo It resolved by the Carriage
Builders' National Association now In
business session In the city, of Atlanta,
Ou.. nnd It Is hereby Resolved, That
It Is the sense of the members of this
association that the tariff question Is
not 11 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 tn accomplish this would be
to turn the whole question of admin
istrating the tariff over to one of the
present department* 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 Instantly to change sched
ules to suit the exigencies sristng from
changing business conditions, subject
always to the Rctlon of congress and
the president; and be It
Further Resolved. That the secretary
of this association be, and that he la
hereby, directed to engross a copy of
them resolutions and to certify the
correctness of the said copy and to
send same to his excellency, Theodors
Roosevelt, president of the United
States, to take such action a* may be
deemed best.
