Opposes (Gov ernment Ownerslip. On September 27th U. S. Senator N. B. 'Dial addressed the Senate upon the subject of strikes as they affect the public. The speech was evidently con sidered somewhat ont of the ordinary as it was carried in part by the As sociated Press in th cafternoon papers of the same day. This being the first address of any length by the Senator since his eitry into Congrses, The Ad vert iser prints 4L in full, as follows: -Mr. Dial: .Ir. President, I ask unanimous consent to take a little of the timne of the Senate to present some views that I have on a subject that I consider of consideraible importance, so much so that I have written.down what. I have to say. The Vice President: Is there any objection to the Senator proceeding in the morning hour? The Chair hears none. -ir. Dial: Air. President, I have been a member of this body for such a short tine I feel a delicacy in saying any thing on any subject. However, in 1lese troublesome times if I were to romain silent when It is lily duty to speak I feel that I would be very dere lict in performing my duty, not only to tilet people of South 'Carolina but to the citire country,. I notice in the Washington Post of a day or two since where one John Fitzpatrick, a high official in the Amer'can Federation of Labor, said that in calling the steel strike lie felt that he was representing this Govern m1ietnt. I (1o not arrogate to myself authority to speak for this Govern ment. but I (1o say that so far as my Iinterest in it is concerned when lie called said stijike lie (id not represent my part of the G(overnment. I repudi ate any effort on the part of anyone to entagle. this Government on the side of cit her capital or labor in private disputes. I ain a friend of bothI cap) ta1 an1d labor.

Party of Army Men Ieaded by 31j. Sires, inl Laurens on Iteernliing SCnnpagit. .To Visit Neighboring Towts. A party of legular Army recruit Oro from'Camp .JacksonI arrived int this city last evening for it two-weeks' stay, during which time tihey will visit Simpsonville, Clinton, Fountain Inn, Newberry, Tylersville, GIrecnwood, Uray Court "nd Wtaterloo. Thesc recruiters having been cal vassing the entire state during the summer months in the interest of gen Oral service, infant ry, and have met with extraordinary success. While this is their first visit to Laurens, they arc confident of holding up their reputation while operating in this tearritory. iajor Edward It. Sires, Camp Ilos pital, who has by the way, risen from the ranks, heads the party and has with him Sergt. Jesse Ford, 1tth Inf., Sergt. Timothy C. Reardon, -16th Inf., Sergt. Will J. Griffin, Camp Iospital, Sergt. Harry C. Turner, -18th inf., Corpl. Arthur It. Glenn, 'Motor Trans port Corps and Corpl. Edward Wright, -18th Inf., all of whom have had con siderable service. These recruiters arrived inl a large staff touring car of tile type used on the battle f-ronts by our army in the recent conflict. These ears are 9 pas senger Whites and are a wonderful piece of imechanism. They are operat ed i)y the Motor Transport Corps un der whose jurisdiction all aitomotie behicles are operated. The army today, says Major Sires, offers twonderful opportunities to young Imen seeking an education or trade. At Camp .Jackson, educational and vocational schools are being op erated with a heavy enlisted enroll ment. All the modern studies are be Ing taught from primary school cours es to and including high school sub jects. For thoso qualified, certain courses are also offered at the Uni versity of South Carolina, and all free to the enlisted man. In the vocational or trades schools, carpentry, painting, plastering, alltd mobile repair and operation. black smithing, clerical, electrical and plumbing are some of the most proli nent stidies offered. Not only does an enlisted man receive the theoreti cal knowledge but also the practical experience. These courses will, the Government irmtly believes, lit a muanl for a Iighly remuntilerative position up oin ils completion of his enlisted ser vice. During their s'ay at Laurens, the recruIt hng party hiopes to meet all former soldiers in this vicinity as they have it splendidmessage for those ImenI whol have served thei ou1try. They :also have -some v-ery interesting pro positioll for anly young ninai or any parent who enres to tall the matter over with1 them .
