I dealrc to thank each and every one
who hat made an effort to relieve the
Hltuation of the unemployed. The most
of the business and professional men
are In sympathy with the working
men, It lias never been suggested,
only by few, that organized labor make
a reduction In their wages to brink
about more work. This has been left
with all organized workers to work
out; this has been left with all or
ganized workers to work out. Organ
ized labor has given this much thought.
We have held several meetings In
which to discuss the situation, and wo
have coma to the conclusion, unani
mously so, that we cannot afford to
make any reduction of wuiges, and pay
our living expense*. All foodstuff Is
v.• t at a high price everything that
goes to the making of the necessaries
of life Is hlgl priced.
II has been said to me that organ
ized labor has made a mistake hy re
fusing to make reduction In wages and
that because of their falling to do so,
work would not In the near future
pick up. I desire to say that no or
ganization ts infallible; they all rnaks
mistakes, and organized labor lias
been no exception. It luih made many
little mistakes and some big ones, nnd
the biggest mistake organized labor
could ever make at this time is to
make a reduction In their wages, when
we can hardly exist on our present
scale when we are all working
While, as I say, organized labor has
made 11s little and hlg mistakes I be
low e thnt organized labor here In Au
gusta as well as elsewhere has done
more to make good men nnd women
and brought more benefits of all kinds

to Its members than any other organi

Labor unions have not only raised J
the standard of living to their mem- j
hers hy Increasing wages, i-horterdn-r
hours of toll and securing better work j
Ing conditions, but they have raised,
the standard of citizenship of their;
members.
Organized labor has endeavored to
teach Its members and others that
there are a great many more objects
In-llfe than the mere matter of bread-|
winning. While the laboring man's
opportunity has not been equal to that
of men of wealth In securing an edu
cation. the reason why labor's enemies
-and especially those enemies which
are to he found In the high places—
are so ready to brand the unton man
as an uneducated "cuss” Is because
the kind of education the union man
Is getting 1s the kind that reduces the
aforesaid enemies’ chances of slipping
up on the blind side of said union
man, placing a noose around his neek.
and leading him off Into the dense
forest of hapl habits Ansso It would
be a very/ bad habit for any unton
man who has worked the better part
of his life trying to get a scale if
wages to be persuaded to make any
reduction whatever, even If hard times
do come.
I wan to thank one and all of the
wavs and means committee of thirty
who have and are yet doing all pos
slbcl to relieve the situation of the
unemployed When you once get a
man to believe that you are hts friend
- that your mission to him Is actuated
by a spirit of friendliness and a de
sire to hslp or uplift him - then you
get his confidence. When he has con
fidence In you, he will listen. When !
he begins to listen, he begins to learn j
things: he gets "wise,” nnd when he -
gets wise he gets right, and when he
gets right, then he is all right.

NORTH AUGUSTA FIRE PROTEC
TION.
To the Herald:
In your columns of speaking public
mind I will beg you a little space to
reply to a proposition front the fire
committee of the city of Augusta to
give North Augusta fire protection. 1
want to say In the beginning that we
do appreciate the kindness of the dif
ferent-officials of the city of Augusta
In permitting the fire department of
the city to aid us In our trials with
fire in North Augusta. The proposi
tion made hy the fire committee was
that the town of North Augusta pay
to the city of Augusta five thousand
dollars annually for this protection.
We think this rather high -In fact ex
horhltant Before the town of Sum
merville wns taken into the city of
Augusta It was given the same pro
tection for Just one half the amount
that was exacted from North Augusta,
and the XJ. S census report gives the
town of Summerville 4,361 Inhabitants
against 1.136 for North Augusta. You
will see that the town of North Au
gusta Is Just about one-fourth the size
of Summerville and in taxable valua
tion there Is a much greater difference
The Income of the town of North Au
gusta Is Just a little over $6,000.00 (six
thousand) dollars, and if we were to
accept the proposition of the commit
tee we would have nothing wherewith
to keep up the streets which In Itself
would render the protection which we
pay for useless to us. as your engines
would never he able to report to a
fire. Furthermore the town's build
ings nre assessessed at about $500,000.
the Insurance rate at 1 1-2 per cent
would be $7,500.00 that ts tbs maximum
rate over here but if we were to ac
cept the committee's proposition our
rate would be 2 1-2 per cent on our
properties, this I think ts about what
ts charged for what the Insurance com
panies claim ns a hazardous risk. Now
what would the etty of Augusta charge
per fire to let the ftre department re
port at fires In North Augusta'.’ In
the past fifteen years we have not had
more than one ftre per year. Now
don't you think $5,000.00 for one fire
exceedingly high, better let the house
burn, don’t yon think? It would be a
better proposition for the town to pay
that money to the person who looses
hts house. We would like very much
to make an arrangement with the city
of Augusta for ftre protection, nnd nre
willing to pny to them a fair price hut
let It he so much per ftre If the ftre Is
put out In ten minutes or If the de
partment has to fight to a finish.
