Mr. F. Gibson left Union Sunday
for a trip to Winston-Salem, N. C.,
end returned yesterday. He passed
through Spcneer, N. C'., on the way
up and back. Spencer is the location
of big shops of t??e Southern Railway.
Mr. Gibson says not a soul is at work
in the town. Business is dead and
the strikers have lined up around the
shops, camping out at. night. He says
they carried big sticks, and are standing
guard to club anybody who attempts
to go to work in the shops.
Even women are armed with clubs.
It appears that President. Fairfax
Harrison is not far wrong in assuming
that it may mean war for tlrSouthern
to undertake to operate its
shops with non-union labor. The
strike has now reached a stage that
will lead to short, sharp decision, it
appears to us.
Mr. Gibson says he hopes nothing
will occur like this in South Carolina.
In this we heartily concur. It
is a tremendous waste, and. in the
end, will fall heaviest upon the workers
themselves.
The rule < r ruin policy of the labor
unions has reduced itself to an ab
surdity. Fairfax Harrison, president
of the Southern Railway, agreed to
every demand made by the striking
shopmen. Fluxing done this, he i?
met with the Mat refusal of the strikers
to return to work. The strikers
refuse to return to work on the Southern
for the reason, as they say, that
the strike is nation wide, and must,
therefore, be settled nationally. A
pretty pass, to be sure. The blind,
unreasoning attitude of organized la
' bor, its disposition to exact more and
more and its utter disregard for the
public is going to destroy the unions.
Why should th? entire transportation
of the territory served by the Southern
be made to suffer, when the road
agrees to accept the demands of tlu
strikers in order that the workers on
th.> Sniithevn Rnilu-nv nine mI<1 th?> jii
gregation of strikers on a Western or
Northern railway? The government
refuses to allow the railway executives
to combine; why should the railway
workers belonging to different
systems be allowed to combine? It
is the worst sort of tyranny. The
woi' men on the Southern are lining
up w:i h the large foreign element that
controls the labor organizations of tht
loads of the Northwest and North
We are being given a dose of foreign
bolshevism. and the dose is not palatable.
The question is, how long the
government will stand idly by and
alow this utter betrayal of the rights
of the public. The labor unions, under
Mr. Wilson, rose up, in the face
of war, and said, raise our wages, or
we will strike. They gut what they
asked for, while our boys were being
flrnfl I ond eiitit tr? n/>o f ?\ f'wrVtf Cnv
$30 a month. A train, while the war
war on, the unions called for still another
raise. They got it. Now that
the war is over, they say, we intend t<
keep our war wage scale. We refuse
a cu?, even when the cut is ordered '
l?y the government labor board. Mill
operatives, farm hands, clerks, in fact
workers of all other occupations are ?
...?II 1 4 L?
wtiK^'s Mian (luring tru i
war. Is the railway worker, already <
the best paid worked in the country, 1
to be the especial favorite of all the j
working men of the world? And, re- |
member, it is the fact that, foreign 1
elements, men with a deep animosity
towards this government, who are v
dominating the unions. The coal you <
burn is costing for transportation as
much as the price of the coal. There
is not a family in Union that is not
today paying a portion of the high ^
wages being paid the railway worker j
today. The coal you burn, the flour 1
you eat, the clothes upon your back? '
everything shipped you, has paid its
portion of the U:x that goes to pay the
high wages to the railway worker.
They are insatiable in their demands, i
and th0 public is rapidly coming to f
the point of rebellion. A whole train c
load of passengers are left upon the
k
rack at a small town in a Western
iistrict?left practically without food
vithout ice and without medical atention.
When the strike order came,
he train stops and the men in charge
valk off' the job. Of this we say that
should one of the men, women or bajies
die from the exposure, the men
>vho left that train should be convicted
of murder.
It appears that the battle is to be
fought to a finish. So let it be. When
the fight is over, trains will be runi.ng
as usual and unionism will no
longer tyrannize over the people of
the U iited States. If the government
liau backbone enough to stand up and
do its duty, the situation would be
over in one day.
^insiriy who have gone
on strike will go hungry before the
striking is over.

Driver of Death
Car Not Located
E. L. MeGaphney, the aged white
man who was run down last week
at Duncan by an unknown driver in
a Dodge car, died at the General hosuital
Saturday afternoon, and an inquest
was held at Floyd's undertaking
parlors at 10 o'clock yesterday morning.
Only two witnesses were examined.
Droadus Smith, who was the first to
reach the injured man, stated that Mr.
MeGaphney had evidently been dragged
several feet and was severely injured,
his face being badly lacerated
and bruised, lie stated that the car
hiitl nuuciwl nn iinKnn/lini? or?/l /Inn
...... V\I vw UDIIVVMIII^ H1IVI Vliav UUt
to no definite witnesses of the accident
there was no way of ascertaining
the driver of the machine.
I. O. Coan, the second witness
called upon at the inquest yesterday
morning, stated that he reached the
scene several minutes after the aecilent
and that he only saw the man in
a wounded condition after the accident
had occurred. He did not see the.
accident and could give no evidence
as to the driver of the machine.
Reports have reached this city to
the effect that a Dodge car which
attracted unusual attention was seen
chasing up and down the highway
through Duncan during the day and
had passed through the town near the
time of the accident. But due to
the fact that many cars were passing
all through the day no special attention
was given the driver of the }
Dodge car, other than his frequent j
passing through the town. It is un?lerstood
that the rural police are
working on the case, but as yet no
possible clue has been reached which
would aid in clearing up the mystery
and lead to the apprehension of the
driver of the machine.
It was stated that Mr. McGaphney
was on route to Tueapau, where he
was to visit his married daughter,
who lives there, and that while walking
through the town of Duncan the
automobile struck him and never
stopped, leaving the injured man lying
in the road. As yet the identity
nf the driver of the automobile has
not been ascertained.
The verdict of the jury was ''That
K. L. McGaphney came to his death
ny being struck down by an automo>ile,
the driver of which is unknown."
The funeral of Mr. McGaphney
,vas held this mornintr and interment
tallowed in the Tucapau cemetery.?

As reported, we had ? hard rain
htre last Tue<day at noon, but on ]
Wednesday night, the 9th, we had an "Rt
excessive rainfall, 3.34 inches,' in n<5f foi
over two hours all told, and streams vvo
were greatly swollen/v doing much ~foi
damage to crops. Upland was dam- hii
aged from washting. This was the sp<
heaviest rainfall since July 15th, 191d. wr
except that of August 27, 1920, when 1
we had almost a cloudburst. This re- thi
cent rain fell in so- short a time, on sp<
already wet ground, made the washing ra
of land so great. It has been cloudy f,?<
every day since, retarding the "closing lia
exercises" of cultivation, and us I th
can't pass without mentioning tilt
boll weevils, this damp weather is giv- t;o
ing them an increased leverage ov?r uo
the farmer; yet, I have heard several bu
men say that the weevils are not hdrt- '({<
ing them much, and 1 wonder if they of
will. in
A few of the church membership ol th
the Baptist church, and others inter- be
ested in the cemetery, met at the m
church on Friday and cleaned off the *te
cemetery and tidied up the church pi
yard; and also worked on the road to efl
the yard some. As there was a short- er
age of membership help, one approach ki
to the church had to be postponed, but of
it can be done later. Working on the at
road grading about cut the church se
off nt this particular point. All pres- so
ent at this clean-up day did fine service,
was cheerful and willing, and t.f
rthcre was not a hitch. Some of the fa
lady members prepared a picnic din- le
r.er, were there as hostesses and gave T1
those working menfolks the best of so
attention. The day was fine, and I K
em sure that all who took part feci ?
very much better, from the service
given a good cause. God will bless i
them for this. I fear base ball interfered
some on this day.
I was one of a party to go from 1
here over to Padgett's Creek church
Sunday for the "home-coming" day.
and feel paid for the trip, though the ?
roads were rough and jolty from re- -=
cent heavy rains. It seemed almost
like a "home-coming" day for me ki
even, as I have attended various meet- Bi
ings there many times, and know ^
quite a number of people; and w?3 c]
happy to meet them again. Then ' hi
there were people there from almost! ti
"everywhere." I have seen large ?
crowds there, but I think that day had ? (
by far the largest crowd that I ever
saw there. It was variously estimated
at around 1*200 to 1500. Anyway, not n
under iOOO. There was a table 900
feet long for the dinner and it was g
tilled with the good things from end to
end, and after that large crowd had ^
punished those things until all was
almost too much satisfied, there was ^
much still there. You can't surpass
Padgett's Creek and community for ^
entertainment. Only about one-third
of the people could hear the exercises,
as the seating room was lacking. ' y
The protracted .meeting began at ?
the Presbyterian church Sunday, and
will continue some days, morning and
night. There will be a visiting minister
to help in these series of meetings.
(
The county campaign meeting will \]
start up on full time here on Friday, ?
and I know a full crowd will be out to
greet the candidates, or be greeted by
them, and I will venture that the peo K
pie here will give them a respectful I
hearing and set the example for other K
places. (Beg pardon for saying thisV B

Why Russian Factory
Costs are High
Moscow, Aug. 14.?Production
charges in many Russian factories
have become so high that the Soviet
government would now find it cheap- P
er to import certain manufactured ar- ||
tides than to make them at home.
For example, it is said that harv- e<
ester machines can be purchased and G
transported from Germany, or even | ci
from A merica, to Russia for much ai
less than the cost rff producing them
in the plant of the International
Harvester company, near Moscow. pi
This American factory, one of the 1c
few industries in Russia that was not
nationalized by the Bolsheviki, is one
of the most efficient in the country,
but its production costs per machine
manufactured are almost twice those
of the German or American plants of
the company. This is chiefly due to |
the high prices of raw material, but
the unusual Russian labor laws also
are an important factor.
For example, a workman whostf ""
wife is expecting a child is paid 25
percent additional daldry for nine
months, and in the month when the
child is born receives still another
full month's pay. If the workman is f
supporting a sister or a mother or j
any other woman in an interesting <
condition, the same rule applies,
while a feminine employee receives
even more liberal treatment, amount
*..11 xi? ?x?
iiivr mi ncven inn iiiunins extra pay.
The average daily pay of a Russian
workman is about $1 exclusive
of extras, but it has been estimated II
that five Russians, who work under ~
Jess efficient condiitons than in America,
no matter what their individual
ability, produce only as much as two
Americans working in the United
States with more improved machinery.
