tion to the following from Kork Hill
Record published in Mr. Finley's own
county :
The Finley ' campaigners were in
Hock Hill today making desjierate ef
forts to stem the 'lowing tide against
him in this section. His workers were
busy all this morning button-holing
voters on the streets and in, the door
ways. The old fellow seems to be wor
ried over his prosj?ects. and well he
may be. He continues upon' his course
of ignoring the newspapers, and is ap
parently going straight to jiolitlcnl "Ob
livion.
Again It says:
Free Seeds and Votes.
We hear .that the plea some of our
farmers in tthis section are offering for
wanting to send the present" Congress
man .Finley- back for -another term is
that he always sends them garden seed.
We certainly give them credit for more
intelligent thinking than this. As a
matter of fact, this distribution of seed
Is done all over the country and while
the name of the Congressman from
each district appears on the package
he has nothing to do with it more than
to furnish a list of names. If our far
mors are so much Interested in this.
whb4*~*ve do not believe, they will find
that the little package of worthless
seed will come along each spring, until
Congress repeals the law in regard to
.sending them out. no matter who the
Congressman Is. We believe the ma
jority of tl\e farmers of this section j
have come to the point where they ex
jiect more of their Congressman than
this and will demonstrate this by their
vote at the coming primary.

HIGH WAGES ON
AMERICAN ROADS:
Railroad Payroll Records Made
Public by the Carriers.
NATIONAL INQUIRY URGED
Manuyer# Offer to Leave Question of
$100,000,000 Wage Demand# to an Im
partial Federal Tribunal to Prevent
Disaster of u Nation-wide Strike.
New York.? What is i>i*ol>ubl,v the
most elaborate study of wages over
luade in any Indus! ry has Jnst been
Completed by the National ConlVrt'in'i:
Committee ??f the railway ft.
r??r s|\ months railway uecountani*
throughout tin* country have been en
gam-d in collecting t he payroll records
to >hov\ the actual wage payments to
e\ cr> individual employe among the
JHto.non engineers, conductors, llreiueu
and brakemen now voting on a na
tional strike fur a new wage scale.
That these employe# are one of the
highest paid groups of workers In any
Industry is disclosed by the Summary
made public today by tho railroad
managers.
The average yearly wage payments
to all Southern train employes tiuelud
lug those who worked only part of the
yean, :is shown by the 11)15 payrolls,
were:
PasseiiKer. FrelKht. Yaril.
BnKUueiH $2,144 $1,712 $1,313
Conductors 1,723 1,488 1,167
Firemen l,09v 806 688
Brakemen 1,013 845 80S
Three-quarters of these men (Includ
ing those who put In a full year's serv
ice), earned these wages:
Engineers (road), $1,455 to $3.0S3;
(yard), $1,150 to $2,424.
Conductors (road), $1,353 to $2. GOO;
(yard), $1,055 to $1,740.
Firemen (road). $040 io $1,052; (yard).
$400 to $1,302.
Brakemen (road), $755 to $1,85.4;
(yard), $754 to $1,405.
. For the whole country the average
wages of three-quarters of the employ
es were:
PasueiiKcr. Freight. Yard.
Engineers $a,0G7 $1.S<)2 $1,CLC
Conductors 1,850 1,711) 1,310
Firemen 1,203 1,117 U21
Brakemen 1,095 1,013 1,070
The railroads have considered every
man whose name appears on the Janu
ary and December payrolls as an eui
ploye for a year, no matter how little
service he performed in the other ten
months. It is pointed out by the man
agers that these averages are. in con
sequence, an understatement <>f the.
earning power of these employes
An Appeal to tho Public.
The National Conference Committee,
in making these wage figures public,
says:
"Do you believe in arbitration or
industrial warfare?
"The train employes on all the
railroads are voting whether they
will give their leaders authority
to tie up the commerce of the coun
try to enforce their demands for a
$100,000,000 wage increase.
"The ntilroads are in t lie public
service? your service. This army
of employees is in the public service
?your service.
"You pay for rail transportation
$3,000,000,000 a year, and 44 cents
out of every dollar from you goes
to the employes.
"A $100,000,000 wage increase for
men In freight and yard service
(less than one-fifth of all employes)
is equal to a C per cent advance in
all. freight rates.
"The managers of the railroads,
ns trustees for the public, have no
right to place this burden on the
cost of transportation to you with
out a clear mandate from a public
tribunal speaking for you.
"The railroads have proposed the
settlement of this controversy either
under the existing national arbitra
tion law, or by reference to the
Interstate Commerce Commission
I This ofTer has been refused by the
employes' representatives.
"Shall a nation wide strike or an
investigation tinder the government
determine this issue?"
TRAINMEN'S HIGH WAGES.
When i note from the reports
made to the Interstate Com
meree Commission thnt these
men receive average yearly
wages f?0 per rent hleher than
those ftlj other railway em
ployes, and pr:ictl< ally double
those of the average American
wage-rvorker, It occurs to me
that they at least have less
<ause for complaint thnn most
others. When I consider that
the average locomotive engineer
has an Income of over $2;000
a year, and that inost of the
engineers who have been- long
In service make from $2,000
to $3,000 a year, and when I
eompare their hours, labor and
responsibilities with those of
the average small merchant,
farmer or doctor, whose Income
Is far less. it imbi that In all
faiatess they Are wall paid.?

A watch is intended to tell you the time of day. Unless
