proposition They ssy that (hsy already

It Is said that the committee felt
greatly encouraged a» to the result of
the proposition. It was received In good
spirit, and will be submitted to th* op
erative* at the meeting this afternoon.
Indeed, all th# development* of th#
day Justify horca that the present la
bor trouble may be adjusted, and that
before long the mill* will be running
with full force again.
At this morning's meeting Mr. Dan
Kerr's proposition to reduce the water
rents of manufacturing plants to »l
per horsepower was brought up. It Is
given out that the mayor said the plan
was not practicable.
The following agreement was also
drawn up and signed:
"We, the undersigned presidents of j
the mills in the Augusta district, here
by agree not to discharge any of our
bands on account of the present walk
out or on account of their affiliation
with any labor organization.

Two mills are running today—the Au
gusta factory and the Sutherland. The
meetings held at different places yes
terday v.ere presided over by cool
headed men, and no doubt they have
had a temporizing effect. Yesterday
morning, the situation was critical, but
today all is quietude and ionservaQam.

j drew Mulcay.
1 These gentlemen protest that organ
|i*cd labor la not responsible for the
present trouble.
Mr. Mulcay said. In nn Interview
thin morning, that the one fact he wlsh
;*d to bring out was that this Is not an
. organised strike Indeed, he does not
j regard It as a strike at all It I* mere
ly a walkout, many operative* having
been forced to quit work In one de
partment because operative* in other
department* walked out.
I Mr. Mulcay gives tt as hi* opinion
.•hat If the mills would open up the
j present *jtrlt»ment would subside, and
I the operatives would all return to
I work.
There are six organisations of the
I Textile Workers, aggregating between
; 490 and Sat) memheis, and he states that
| the percentage of organised men who
walked out 'rs very small
A Meeting Last Afternoon.
The meeting lifst afternoon was at
tended by two or three thousand people
and several addresses were made,which
; are given in full below.
The article printed in The Her- 1
aid yesterday was read at the meeting,
and haa been the talk of the dry. A
j great many are of the opinion that thla
is the real solution of the problem.
| At the meeting this afternoon, after
! the committee reports, if It is favora
! hie, the operatives will return to work
I In tbe morning.
Mr. Marion Ivoy called the meeting
1 to order and said:
! "This Is quite a large audience—
about the largest I have ever had the
pleasure of addressing. We have met
here this afternoon for the purpose of
hearing something about the Labor
I'naon—l suppose that Is what you are
all here for—and we have some prom
inent men who will speak on this line
and explain matters to you. We hope
to have your quiet attention. Let me
beg all of you peonle to let us keep
: sober and quiet, and do nobody harm,
hut let us stand together and not raise
any dispute among ourselves, for that
would please the men who are oppos
ing us mofe than anything in the
world!.
•"When I led the crowd out of the
Sibley mills this morning, I stated that
I wovAd not go back for cut wages. We
want what we came out so a
little more if we ran get. Hut lei us lie
peaceful. We don’t want any disturb
ance of any kind. We are here to k op
quiet and act like ladies and gentlemen
throughout this whole thing. If we
don’t get usr fight*, We will live with- ■

wm coming nut to address you this *v»
ening I would like to see Mayor WaJs|i
upon tht* ocraalon. and these gentle
men tell m ■ that he will be here In a
few moments. While I could go on and
make a great many statements upon
this Issue, I think l have pretty well
covered the Arid In some newspaper ar
ticles which I have written.
The labor question affects the whole
world. In cam- this reduction In wages
goes Inlo effect In the South. It means a
further reduction in wages In the North
—in other word*, the unorganised con
dition of Southern lal orlng people has
been the club by which th?y have
hammered do • n our wages In the
North. You see the Northern people
ran only stand together and secure not
only better wages, but less hours of
labor. That 1* what we want. Here in
the South, the labor question is one of
greater Knoment than In the section
from which t came,
'You have another ouestlon down'
j lrre _th<. negro element. I am not op
posed to the negro, but you people have
to send your children to the mills th
wo k to. help supi’ort the family : ifnd
whilg they are going to the cotton riMMs |
and laboring for bread, the negro is j
educating his children. It Is time we
pul a stop to that. I say let us edu
cate our children. They have „ f«y*r of
negro supremacy in the South. Hdjiea
tion rules this country and rules the
governments of the world. If you edu
cate the negroes and raise the white
children in Ignorance, who Is going to
rule in the South ?
‘ While I am not attaching the mill
presidents, I do not thtnk they have
acted right for this reason: They Ray
they had to reduce wages 111 Augusta
because the mills In South Carolina
were selling goods for less than they
could. Whether this is true or not. I
cannot state, but people In South Car
olina can live cheaper than you ran in
Augusta. It Is not a question of what
the mills in South Carolina arc mak
ing or what they ate not making: it
is a question of right. So long as the
mills r.f our city can pay dividends and
..lake money and sell their products,
they are not justifiable In reducing wa
ins. And if they did have to reduce;
them, they should have commenced at
the top and have ''Deduced the. officials
before they made any reduction In the
wage*, of ih« poor laboring men.
