It's hard to say who is responsible
for this 410 cents cotton, Sen. Smith, B.
Harris or J. S. Vannanaker.
The initers iay have been justilled
in their claims for higher wages and
shorter -working hours, but when they
bring their strike right at the begin
ning of winter, knowing the vast suf
foring the strike .will entail, they lose
the confidence and sympathy of their
fellow mhen.

TIEi COAL ST11KE.
The nation is face to face -with the
most serious situation which it has
had before it in iany a lay. Whole
sale stollpage of the nation's indus
ries. with the accompanying priva
tions aitdl monetary losses, is about to
tak(e place if the coal miners persist
in their strike which the president,
the attorney geieral and the coirts
have said is a violation of the law.
The issues in t coal strike are mo
mentous. Not ine r0ly heraii se it is a
coal Strike and a lar Ige strike, but lbe
caluse of the tivans 'which it has been
foild li necessa ry to elurb it. Thlie m in
'rs set ilte dale of thel' strike at tile he
ginning of winter. when the life of the
nation depiendei upon its fiel supply.
The factories could stop running in
sunmmer as well as in winter, but in
winter the masses of people in cities
must h! ve coal for warmth. TPhe min
ers brazenly set about to hold up ti le
nation by frightening It into suibmis
sion. 'ltey figured that the public,
taught oil every occasion to mistrust
and abuse big business, would come
to their side and leave the employers
to fight their battle alone. The public
so far has not sympathized .with the
miners, and the government, meeting
the issue as a national peril, has le
clared the strike illegal and has se
enredl an injllnetion against officers of
unions directing the strike.
The issue has cone to be squarely
between the miners' union and the
government. The government has
thrown down the gaunt let andl de
mands to be supreme and the miners
may take it lip. If they do, fle fight
will likely be t bittor one and may
spread to other labor unions. What
ever the case, the people and the pib
lie should stand behind the govern
ment, for a victory of the miners now
would mean another link hammered
nito the Iloishevik chain and the gov
ernment brought that mnuch nearer to
an overthrow.
Keeping the lcordi St raighit.

Darlington Cotton 31ills Take Advanc
ed Step. Plan Now iI Force.
Darlington, Nov. 7.--A plan has
been worked out and adopted by the
management of the 0larlington Mauti
facturing comipany whereby every
man, woman and child oil the payrolls
of the company beconies entitled to
his or her share In a 50 per cent divi
sion of the it. profits of the concern.
In addition to this, the operative" f
the uiilI have organizedI and elected a
board of operatives and a board of
managers for the operatives, and it is
proposed to admit one or more of such
managers to the meeting of the board
of directors of the company. The net
earnings of the business are to be de
termined by a disinterested nuditor,
and the repdrts of this auditor are to
be available to the operatives through
their proper constituted oillcials,. Each
operaive is then to share in the 50
per cent of the net. earnings In IIpro
potioni to his or her wage, for the
year. Thus an equlitable plan of dis
tribution. will be worked out for each
man.
At a meetling of the operatives the
president of the company, C. C. Twit
ty, spoke at length and outlined the
ideais of tle company. A full state
ment was given of the plans of'opera
tion ineeforth and all of tle oper
atives taikeii into full contidence and
made real 1rtiiners in lie conduct. of
their large busi ness. It is proposed
that the it ea rnings heo tixed an1d de
terminiied 1by dedlucting from the gross
earnings all expenses, taxes, drillecia
tion and otlier chiarges. together with
the legal rate of interest of the c:pi
tal invested an deductio of 20 per
veit of tile reain der for a sinkintig
'ITs a plan for industrial delioc
racy in one of the largest cotton mills
in the state has been inaugurated in
)arlington and both- mill owners and
operatives are very sanguilne over tile
prospects. For many years this con
11ny ns built utt and enjoyed an un
usually high reputation for fair deal
ings with its operatives and this, the
most radical stelp taken thus far, is
but another evidence of the interest
the mill owners have In the welfare
of those who are by their labor con
tributing to the successful conduet of
its affairs.
Not only will profit sharing on a
most liberal basis be granted employ
ees, hut the mill management during
the past year has spent tlousaids of
dollars on the hones of tihle operatives,
so that at present it is dout fuil if
there is a manufacturing concerni in
the state whose homes for eiplovees
