Says New Building Means
Loss To Self And
Subscribers.
Mr. W. R. Barringer, .owner and
proprietor of the Florence Hotel an
nounced today that he was ready to
begin work on an annex to the pres
ent Hotel Florence building which
would add one hundred rooms to the
hotel.
In discussing the hotel proposition
generally, Mr. Barringer made the
following statement to the Times.
“One hundred bed rooms additional
ip the present capacity of the Hotel
Florence will more than supply
every demand for hotel accommoda
tions for several years to come. Ho.w
ever, the foundation of the building
and everything else necessary for a
further iuciease in capacity will he
considered when (he present in
crease is made.’’
“The shortage of rooms to cure for
the traveling public prevails in «■
most every city of consequence in the
country, and the demand for rooms
is not at ail peculiar to our city. The
demand for hotel rcoms is the same
us the demand for houses and flats.
I do not believe that a new hotel
erected at the present cost of build-
Ipg would pay. My property would
cease to pay a , fair dividend, and
the same would apply more to a new
hotel erected at present costs.’’
“I am not opposed to anything that
would add to the growth or the gen
eral good of the city, even though it
caused me personal financial less,
and would welcome the cooperation
of the public in the addition to my
hotel which when completed would
make it second to no hotel in the
state, with the possible exception of
one other, and certainly adequate
id attractive, and more than this a
oancial success. I believe that an
Iditional hotel would mean a great
aancial loss to those subscribing
id to myself, and think it would be
Inwise for the public or myself to
subjected to loss on such a tre-
icndous investment, when my plans
irouid satisfy the relief demanded^
Fand it wpuld be a paying investment.
T am willing and anxious to co
operate, with those interested and to
show my good faith in the sugges-
tion will sell out entirely or sell the
conirol'ing interest, retaining such
interest as is wished by those inter
ested with mo.
“Unless those in charge of ihc
new project disregard the possible
financial loss to the present hotel
properties in operation, as • well as
those who subscribe to a new one. it
would soem that a conference with
all parties Is in order for it should
not he the aim or the desire of our
people to enter into such u large uti*
dertaking without due consideration
to those who already have money in
vested. and those who are asked to
subscribe. It Is not at all necessary
io tear down or destroy that which
we now have and fall in the fluau
rial end of it in a new project.”
VOTE OF CONFIDENCE
Col. Cummins Is Also Up

Report.
Clemson College, April VI—'Presi

Washington, April 12.—Organized
labor's views on Industrial problems
likely to enter into the coming pol-
litical campaign are presented In de
tail in’reply toa questionnaire sub
mitted by the advisory committee on
policies and platform of the Republi
can national committee. The reply,
made public yesterday at American
Federation of Labor headqu&ters, is
signed by Samuel Gompers, Matthews
Woll and Frank Morrison, as mem
bers of the platform committee of the
national non-partisan campaign of the
federation.
Acceptance of the principles enun
ciated in the reply was regarded by
political observers here as determin
ing organizeu moors support of can
didates in the November elections.
These principles include
Acceptance of’ the eight hour day
and the six day week with Saturday
half holiday.
Recognition of American wage earn
ers’ right to organize in accordance
with their own judgment.
Continued exemption of labor or
ganizations from anti-trust laws.
Acceptance of the right of employ
ees to choose their own representa
tives from within or without the
plant.
Recognition of the right of employ
ees to strike.
Abandonment of the use of the in
junction in labor disputes.
Establishment of free federal em
ployment agencies in the administra
tion of which labor would have a
voice.
Payment of such wages as to rend
er old age and retirement pensions
unnecessary. Equal pay for the equa l
work.
Minimum age of 16 years years of em
ployment of children.
Extension of the federal work
men's compensation act to all wage
earners not protected by state com
pensation acts.
Elimination of company welfare and
uplift organizations and substitution
of welfare work conducted by la
bor organizations. - ,
Other phases of the Industrial sit
uation covered by the ' quMllpunaire
and labors reply include Lbd princi
ples of the Kansas court o£‘)kVdM.trial
relations, the function of«jfpe second
ary strike boycott, right of govern
ment employees to organise and to
strike, establishment of federal arbi
tration board and encouragement of
thrift among wage earners.
“The general principles of what is
known as the Kansas industrial
law,” the labor committee atterted,
“are principles that are so anfl-demo
cratic as to be reprehensible In the
extreme and repugnmit . to tvery
American conception of justice, free
dom and democracy."
The “secondary strike” or boycott,
the reply stated, has been resorted to
and will be restored to only when tac
tics of employers left to labor no Mh
er courst*.
Defending the right of government
workers to organize, the labor com
mittee said the right of such workers
to strike “should be maintained but
there should never be occasion to use
It.'

Mrs. Jennie Miller Sharpies, field
secretary of the World's Purity Fed
eration. addressed an audience at
Central Methodist church yesterday
afternoon on tho evils of commercial
ized vice, or the jyo-called social evil.
She planted herself squarely upon a
platform of education for the oblitera
tion of the evil. She came out strong
ly as opposing the theory that the
unfortunate woman is a necessary
part of the woof of the social fabric
.and appealed to the mothers to draw
asidtv the mystic veil and instruct
their children in the things thqty
have a right to know about. She
called on men and women every
where to join hands and co-operate
in solving what she termed the most
vital problem of tne twentieth cen
tury. Mrs. Sharpies advanced as her
idea of the cause of the social evil
Ignoraflte on the part of the public
parent s and child!eu as to the prob
lems, purposes and perils of sex.
Those include false modesty, the
double standard of morals, dance
hulls, suggestive fashions and dress.
To defeat these she urged repression
as the immediate method, and the ere
ation of a public sentiment that will
demand their ultimate extermination.
