"'Whereas, {he Rovornnr of this

"Therefore he it resolved. That 1
this body put itself on record as be-11
ing opposed to this policy of the gov- 1
ertior and condemning any action
tending to deprive the workers of '
their rights and the protectiou of 1
just and necessary laws."
This resolution condemning thOj1
action of Gov. Illease in vetoing the)
appropriation for the factory inspec- !'
tors, was adopted by the Columbia :
City Federation of Trades and will
be sent to Gov. Illease.
H. ,1. Hardy, secretary of the City !
Federation of Trades. weiU to see
Gov. 1 Mease several days ago concerning
the factory inspection law. '
Gov. Illease, according to Mr. Hardy
and Senator Weston, got mad and 1
slapped organized labor in the face. '
That Is the statement made.
Gov. Illease said Thursday that he 1
knew more about the condition of 1
the factory people and their needs *
than any representative of a labor 1
organization. Mr. Hardy said that 1
Gov. Hlease "got hot under the col- 5
lar." |1
F. H. Weston, senator from Rich- (
land county, accompanied Mr. Hardy 1
on his visit to Gov. Rlease for the '
purpose of Introducing him. Senator 5
Weston desired to confer with Gov. ,l
nioase to see if some provision could '1
not bo made for the enforcement of j
the factory inspection law. M
Senator Weston and Mr. Hardy ' 1
aald that Gov. Rlease stated that he j(
would veto any measure tending to (
regulate the hours of the laboring '
man. When Gov. mease was asked (
as to the law regulating the hours of 1 '
women in stores he is reported to 1
have stated to Senator Weston and '
Mr. Hardy that the women might get 1
out and hunt other employment.
|IT. J. Hardy, secretary of the City '
^ Federation of Trades, made the following
statement in which he severe- '
ly attacke Gov. TUease:
"On Mouday T, in company with 1
Senator Weston, viBlted the governor
to ascertain his reasons for the wiping
out of the factory inspection feature
of the law. The governor stated
that his reason for so doing was that
he considered the factory inspectors
absolutely wort', less and a waste of
th? State's money. He further i
added that he would attend to that
feature of the law himself and in his
own way. He further stated that he
would veto any ami all labor legis- J
lation that might come before him
where such legislation sought to improve
or alleviate the conditions of
any man or woman over the age of
21 years.
"He said that every man ami woman
who had attained the age of 2 1
was a free moral agent and could
look out for him or herself. Any man
or woman who was not satisfied with
their rendition or thn oifoonorHa
placed around their employment or
their hours of labor could quit their
position, but they need not look to 1
the law to help them as long as he
was In the governor's chair.
"Asked as to how this might work
when applied to the working women
and girls who might be subjected to
hardships which they might be pow- |
erlese to avoid, the governor stated
that they did not have to work under
those conditions as there was plenty ;
of other work they could ^o to,
though when pressed for the source
of this work did not answer. He
further gave me to understand that
neither I nor any other outsider need
come to him with any complaint, that
the man or woman affected must i
come to him personally or no action
would be taken.
"This matter was referred to the
federation on Wednesday night and
the resolution was passed and ordered
sent to the governor. To my
mind this action of the chief executive
in assuming the duties of others
where the law does not provide for
such assumption is merely In keeping
with his announced policy of interpreting
the statutes to his own 1
liking regardless of law or justice.
This action of the governor's will he
.bitterly contested by organized labor
and will only serve to bind us closer
together in our next election and the
? ' next man will have to prove that he1
is with the workers in moro than i
name.'' i

Ma]. W. S. Tillinghnst for continuance
on the ground that the loading
counsel, Robert H. Welch, of Coluin
bia, was ill In a hospital in Charleston.
Judge Prince granted a contin
nance until next term of court.
iMr. Tuten came to Hampton Friday
about 12 o'clock with a friend
and surrendered himself, while the
detective, Mr. Thompson, and other
deputies were searching the community
in an effort to execute the bench
warrant. Some sensational develop
meats are expected to be made when
this case comes to trial at the ncx
term of court. So far the State has
not revealed its hand.
When Mr. Tuten came into the
ourt house Thursday morning to he
arraigned he did not appear nervou
in the le;?.-.t and pleaded not guilt;,
very positively. Mr. Tuten is pos
sesscd of a great deal of property ant
lias numerous relatives and friend,
who own a great deal of the wealth
af Hampton county. They are stand
In2 by Mr. Tuten in this trouble, a.Lhey
do not believe lie committed
the crime.
Tuten was indicted after the detective,
Thompson, had been working
an the case for several days. What
evidence the detective has is pot
made known except what Mary liarpis
told him at the penitentiary after
ihe had assured the coroner's jury
nai mchle Williams, the negro,
omniltted the deed. It Is understood
low that this negro, Richie Williams,
ind this white woman will tell the
tame tale at the trial and that Bonie

by Tuten. It is intimated
that both Tuton and the deceased
were on the most friendly terms with
Mary Harris, and that jealousy
caused the killing.
There has been no motion by Tuten's
attorney for bail. Mr. Tutei
will be defended by the following
counsel: Col. R. H. Welch. Columbia:
