'I Im nominating Convention for

o'clock Mr It. L. Gamble of l.ouis

chair, seieral resolution were made, !

Tim strike has proved after all .
wise counsel that it is not "A tempes.
in nte i pot." It is a tempest but it
requires greater bunds ami dimen
sions than the aforesaid teapot to
Imld it. The Augusta factory
operatives struck last Saturday week
lor l'i per cent advance, which the
factory refused for the reason that
the factory was now running at n loss
•mJ xv iw »• ’♦ *»h!o t»i-il.<» t|«o ihlvfiii
co asked without great loss to the
stockholders, but offers if the opera
tives will go back, to raise just as
soon as possible. This tlie strikers
refused to accept, so the muttei
remains in stntu-quo. One of the
E\< cutive Board, Mr. Mullen by name,
of thu Grand Lodge of the I nited
States came here and had several
conferences with the President Mr.
I'hiuizy, but nothing was accomplish
ed Mi. Mullen otfereil to compromise
on ten per cent advance, lint Mr.
Phiniz;. was authorized by the Board
of Directors to refuse for the above
reason. The operatives in the fl'.n
terprise Factory as a body struck
without making a demand or without
warning of any kind. They were
ordered back by the Knights of
l.abor Lodge here. The Augusta
has been idle for the past week, and
judging from the way matters stand
nt this time, it will remain idle for j
quite a while. The Factory stock
holders claim that by shutting down
they are saving money, but there
seems to be a leiy general doubt ns
to the tiulll of this statement. Then '
is a general feeling of unrest, u
feverish excitement among the op
erativis, and fears are entertained
that the men in the several Mills will
strike, and have all of them idle. ;
This w.hiLl lie a great hardship to
those who are not Knights of Labot
for their daily work in the mills is
their only aup|M>rt, and will also lie a
hardship to the Knights of Labor
themselves. If the Mills are shut
down any length of time, say two
months, the SIS,IMHI they have m
their treasury will be about exhaus
ted and then they will have to stare
b irvation in the sac-. Tie a
the order of the Tinted St.de i, that
is. ti e Grand L.slge of the t inted
Stites will not see them sutler
While this may be true, 1 do not
beheie it. The strikes iu ti e W est
did not 1< ar them out in that asser
tion. What have the strikers
gamed? Nothing, compare I with
what they have lost. The strikers in
all sections of the country have lost
a minority of the strikers Tins is
not the time to strike at all. Thev
should wait until the winter when
work is In ivy nnd able to Ivar the
aijvance. Djieratives here s-iv they
will rot go back to work in the mills,
unless they are paid the fifteen per
cent advance. This is not the right
spirit. It seems that the leaders of
the order here, are leading these poor
people around by a string, or there is
something of that kind going on.
There is n. denying that the demand
is a just one, but w ise counsel should
prevail, they should go back to work,
and wait until the winter, win u their
demands will be complied with. The
lulxir people may not like the seem
ingly hard way I put it, but I have
my conviction# in reference to thi#
matter, and I have the courage to
Htate them. I am in #ympatby with
the Knight# of Lal#>r so far a# their
demand f<>rnn advance, but I am not
in sympathy with the strike.
t'ol. Hammett, President of the
Augu#fa and Chattanooga Railroad
met the citizen# of Augusta at the
Cotton Exchange last 'Thursday to
show them the advantages to be
derived from the building of the
road to Augusta. Our citizens were
■ > impressed with hi# statement, that
they immediately appointed Com
mittees and opined subscription lists
mid immediately thereafter began to
receive HtibHcription#. (juitc an
amount, I learn ha# already been
subscribed.
Our two new narrow gauge road#
are being rapidly pushed, and soon
the whistle of the little “Bulgine"
will be heard. These roads propoHe
to build reparato tracks almost
together and both run from Trenton
together Both roads should unite in
the construction and use of a common
track from some point in Edgefield
here. To build two tracks is a waste
of money. The two roads should
unite, on a fair honest basis.
'1 he Augusta and Chattanooga
Railroad is the noblest roman of them
all. The canvassers report encourag
ing progress ami say the people
everywhere respond liberally. This
is right. The road will be of incal
culated benefit to the people on its
line, ami to ail the country cities and
towns and also to Augusta. Let the
good work go on. Augusta is not a
dead town by any means. Atlanta
with all her ranting and raving for a
little Narrow Guage, on paper, has
not raised a centime. Augusta will
have when her three Railroads now in
process are completed, more Railroads
by two than Atlanta. We are fast
becoming the Railroad center of the
South. Augusta has too much pride
to see Atlanta crow over her. Her
people have become aroused to the
necessity for action and are going to,
with a will. 'This is the kind of a
spirit that should have been aroused
several years ago. We can soon look
bac . and say ‘‘Good bye Atlanta.
You are one of the things of the past.”
Col. Walsh of the Chronicle is the
principal mover in these enterprises
and has Augusta's interest at heart.
Although he did get left at least Ins
paper dip, in the Gubernatorial race,
lie will not get left in these enter
prises. They are more to us than the
Gubernatorial question.
