WEDNESDAY MORNING, OCTOBER 9, 1918. THE NEWS AND OBSERVER MACHINISTS HOLD INDIGNATION MEET At Round House Gathering, They Subscribe for $3,000 Worth Bonds MOODY URGES USE OF BALANCE OF POWER Concerning Rent Profiteering in Raleigh, Some Remarks Are Made A meeting of Seaboard machinists and allied labor organizations of leigh last night was staged at the Seaboard roundhouse partly for the pose of peeling the hide off the alleged rent profiteers in the city. Incidentally Seaboard employees, continuing their campaign to make the employees one hundred per cent bondholders, subseribed for another $3,000 worth of Liberty Bonds plus the subscriptions that been turned in. About machinists were have, alreadye, present. At the outset the meeting was one of general indignation.

Rent troubles occupied a part of the program. Mr. Pou and Judge Biggs spoke in behalf of the Fourth Loan, but labor kicks that have late held the interest of the public part, consuming, the purpose of the meeting. J. F.

McMahon, chairman of the Fedcrated Machinists, presided over the meeting, introducing the speakers, C. F. Koonce, Sylvester J. Betts, Major W. F.

Moody, James H. Pou and Judge Sir. Crawford Biggs. Mr. McMahon and Koonce reported to the machinists the result of their visit to Washington a few days ago which, in a way, was made for the purpose of unfolding to War Department the charges of rent profiteering here since the coming of the tank camp.

They interviewed Major C. E. Smith, the report said, who in senior construction officer of the tank corps, and were told by the officer that the profiteering here was a great prise in view of the agreements between the real estate agencies and the Chamber of Commerce, on file with the War Department. Mr. Pou, speaking later, characterized this as the grossest breach of faith he had known in the twenty-one years he had lived in Raleigh.

Promised and Threatened. "Last summer, in May and June," Mr. Pou said, "Raleigh was a dull real estate town. There were more "for rent' signs on the houses than before in the history of the city. pier, real estate people and the business men wanted some kind of government works.

They made agreements not to raise rent nor to increase prices above those prevailing in 1917 in an effort to land thing. In addition to promising, threatened almost everybody. "Soon," he continued, "a choice camp came. Some went up and real estate men said they were not the pidged to hold the rents down since Raleigh did not land an ardnance camp. They argued that their agreement did not apply to 'any' kind of cantonment.

"The evasion is the grossest breach of faith I have known in Raleigh during the twenty one years I have lived here. The increase affects the people of Raleigh, not the soldiers. nor the strangers. You can't remedy it in law, though, for there is no law against lies -pure downright lies." Consult District Attorney. In the report Mr.

Koonee made, referred to the visit of the committee to the office of the Attorney General, who advised them to take the matter of profiteering up with the District Attorney for the Eastern Distriet of North Carolina. Major Smith, speaking for the tank corps of the army, told them that the increase in rental values here would seriousiy interfere with any largement of Camp Polk. Major Moody Speaks. Major Moody's suggestion to the chinists, and the other labor men pregent, was that they exercise the "balance of power" in casting votes for legislators and county commissioners. He referred to Labor's suggestion to Governor Bickett, when a special session of the Legislature was proposed, that it it was called the succeeding General Assembly would be "of different complexion." Major Moody made an appeal to the men to register for the general election and to align with "the man, not the party." themselves "You've got to fight like the devil," Major Moody told them, "to keep the next Legislature 'from putting over laws that will make you a slave for life.

The administration at Washington favors labor but in North Carolina We are not well enough organized; we haven't put the screws down. "If the men who is nominated for the Legislature," Major Moody said, "doesn't agree to pass some law to prevent profiteering, you've got the power to keep him away." Mr. Pou discussed the war very briefly, venturing the prediction that one more Liberty Loan would see the end of the struggle. Perhaps this one would, he thought, and people who wanted to be recorded right after the war had better get in on the "fighting he suggested. Mr.

Pou charged, in his talk to the machinists, that, some of the State offieers "haven't subscribed to any more bonds than their negro cooks." He exempted the superior court judges, whom he thought had bought to their limit and had utilized their offices to proomte the sales of bonds, but declared that a number of State officials, not necessarily those holding elective offices, had beon "slackers" in subseribing to the loan issues.

The fact that rheumatism depends on an excess of urie acid in the blood, affecting the muscles and joints, producing inflammation, stiffness pain, is well established.

This excess is due to some defect in the processes of digestion and absorption, and to torpidity or sluggishness of the liver, kidneys and skin. Hood's Sarsaparilla is very successful in the treatment of rheumatism because it acts directly, with purifying effect, on the blood, and through the blood on the liver, kidneys and skin, which it stimulates, and builds up the whole system.
