THE INDIANA STATE SENTINEL, WEDNESDAY MORNING, OCTOBER 17.1894.

NOW HE'LL BE GOOD

Charles L. Henry's Enmity to Organized Labor Dragged from Behind Its Mask of Hypocrisy And Held Up to the Light of Public View. EVERY CHARGE IS PROVEN. Affidavits That Expose Hl Weak Defense. Man Whom He Discharged, for Favoring Unions. Conflicting Statements of Superintendent Cox. Charlrs Nation Sweart Henry Olsrhariced Him for Fnvorlnir the Formation of n t'nion Anionic Hi" Fellow Employes John Gambrel Makes AHlduvIt to the Same Facti K. L. Ho vre. a Representative of the MadlI0n County Federation of Labor, Testifies That Henry Declared to IIliu He "Would1 Invent Xothlnjc In Anr Bovinen That Threw II I m In Contact Titli Members f I'nlons Evidence That Cannot Help lint Establish C'onTietion. It is a fart, proved beyond the shadow of a doubt, that Charles L. Henry, republican candidate for congress in this district, li a relentless foe of organized labor notwithstanding the puerile defense of himself, which he prepared In his own office, hci'l sworn to by his own intimidated employes and sent up to this city through the medium of a young man who sent down to "try and find something" that could be used in IIenry'3 defense. It would have been better for the Interests of Mr. Henry had the young man stayed at homo. The affidavits which were prepared in the candid its's office, signed by the candidate's employes. sworn to before the candidate's private secretary, are enough In themselves to establish the position and changes of The dentin el. The affidavits of Superintendent Cox are themselves contradict ry. and i: is a physical impossibility that he could hive been telling the tru:h in botli. Mr. Cox in one ailidavlt sol.mnly swears that there were no men discharged from the employ of the Anderson .street railway company in June or Julv of lKJ'S, but when x-nfromted with the affidavits of The. Sentinel he throws up both hand and comes out in another affidavit in which he acknowledges that he swore falsely in the fir.-it by confessing to the fact that two men were discharged In June or July, lie should certainly be allo.ved to hold his position f. r doing so many different kinds of swearing. The S 11 Unci has charged Mr. Henry with Ixing a bitter enemy ."f all organized labor. It further charged that he dUoh.irj.vd si-mi; of his men became they were taking steps to frm a union, that fci succeeded in preventing his employ? from forming a union and that every man in his employ is a non-union man. His private secretary did join the clerks, but his hours do not conflict with those of the clerks in the business houses for whose benefit the union was formed. The Sentinel further charged that Mr. Henry tried to compel hii men whom he had discharged to sign a false statement before he would give th -m a recommendatlon, and they had positively refused to so degrade themselves. That he had publicly 3:ated that he would never inve3t a dollar of his money in any business that was controlled by organized labor. Tacse charges were denied and Henry swore- in his employes and behind closed doors confronted them with his "private secretary in his private office and compelled them to sign a paper which was false in a part of its statements. HLs superintendent swore to contradictory statements and the Journal made a feeble effort to bolster up a lost fight by Bending a young man to fix up anything that Mr. Henry might dictate. Mr. Henry again called in hi superintend .-nt, contradictory a!71daits were made, the article was padded out to make it look imposing and then the friends of Mr. Henry phut up. They tried to hush the matter and haven't a word t3 say on the subject since. They want it forgotten. It was charged that The Feminel hud made a malicious attack upon Mr. Henry and a nonaction was actually demanded. The same morning that this piece of audacity was perpetrated. The Sentinel published aihdavit which be ond a di'ib: established its position and proved If a charges. It had so many affidavit in its possession that It had nit room for them alt. and thi3 morning rives more, all of which prove that Mr. Henry is an untiring enemy of organized labor, that he always has been, that hi discharged his men when thay attempted to organize, that he (!''ciaml he would never invest a d'!iar of hi money in an3 busines s controlled by organized labor, or where he Jiad anything to do with it, that he tried to compel the discharged men to sign a paper cr.,aining false statements and that hB did compel his employes to eign a paper r.hich contain false Statements. That Mr. Henry is making a fight in which the desperation of despair is apparent snorn when he resorts to such shields behind which to hide his record. All Madison county knows that every charge Th? .Sentinel has made Is true, and even then it has not ail been told. The feeling of bit tern es against Mr. Henry in the labor circle of Anderson on account of hi anti-labor record has become pronounced. There the situation is known and no one places any credence In the forced affidavits of his employes. Everyone knows how they were obtained. The man who would have refused to sign that paper would have been discharged. Even the motormen themselves laugh in a qui3!, mysterious way whenever the affidavits axe mentioned. Some of his owns employes have privately said they would not vote for h!m on account of hi position toward labor and on account of his domineering spirit, which has made practically slaves of them and compell ed them to sign a paper containing statements some of them knew to be false. The following affidavits are in answer to the first affidavit of Superintendent Co, who at first swrre that not a min had been discharged by the railway company in June or July of 11)3. It also answers the denial of Henry's frien-i. who ignorantly asserted that he had not discharged m?n on account of the attempt to form a union. Charles Nation and John Gambrel were in the employ of the Anderson street railway company in July, 1S33, when an attempt was made f) form a union. Both took an active pirt in th; formation of the union and both were friends of organized labor. They were sacrificed. Following are their affidavits: WAS A IXIOX MAX And Clmrles atIon "Was Discharged lr. Candidate Henry. "State of Indiana, Madison County, es.: "This day before me came Charles Nation of Summ'tville, Madison county, Indiana, who, bei r? by me first duly sworn, deposes and says: "Thit for about thirteen months prior to July, 1S33, be was la tha employ of

Charles L. Henry of Anderson, Madison county, Indiana, and who Is now republican candidate for congress from the Sevj enth congressional district, as a motorman

and conductor on th Anderson street railway, which railway was at the time and Is now owned and controlled solely by the said Charles L. Henry. "That on or about July 1. 1SS3. he was discharged from the employ of the paid Charles L. Henry by orders from the said Henry, given in writing to the superintendent of the Anderson street railway. "That no cause was given him why he was discharged by the said Henry or the said Lemuel Cox. superintendent, but the said Charles Nation well knows that the only reason he was discharged was because he took an active part iu organizing a union among the employes of the said Henry on the Anderson street railway in June, 1893. "Deponent further says, under oath, that ho had long known that the said Charles L. Henry was bitterly opposed to unions of all kinds and to organized labor In all it departments and branches, w'hlch fact was freely discussed among his fellow-employes on the Anderson street railWay. That In June, 1SH3, an organizer from the Street railway employes' union of Indianapolis visited Anderson for the purpose of organizing a union among the said Charles L. Henry's employes on the Anderson street railway. That the employes of the Indianapolis street railway were at that time receiving 17 cents an hour, while the deponent had been getting 8 cents an hour part of the time and 15 cents part of the time. That when the organizer came from Indianapolis he, the said Charles Nation, together with a number of the other employes of the said Henry, decided to organize a union among themselves and he took an active part in the movement with Chris Zumwalt, William Vasbinder and John Gambrel. That after some of the preliminary arrangements for the formation of the union had ben made, he was approached one day by Lemuel Cox, the said Henry's superintendent, and asked by the said Cox if ho had not been Interested In union labor. He replied that he was a friend of organized labor and Cox told him that organized labor wouldn't do him any g od as the men on the Anderson street railway were getting as much as the Indianapolis union motormen and conductors. That he replied that he knew that was not true, as Indianapolis motormen and conductors were getting 17 cents an hour, wr.'le he had been driving a mule car sixteen hours a day for 8 cents an hour. "The said Cox learned from the said Nation's conversation that a union was being formed; that he, the paid Nation, was helping organize It, and that he, the said Nation, was a warm friend of orgmized labor. And th said Cox warned him at the time that if he persisted in the union movement he would be discharged, ns Mr. Henry was against all unions. To th!a he replied that he was not going to b intimidated. "And the said Charles Nation further says, under oath, that two days after this conversation with Cox he was sent for and Informed that he was discharged by orders from Charles L. Henry. At the same time the said Cox showed him a letter signed by Charles Henry ordering him to d!3charga him. the sa'.d Charles Nation, and John Gambrel at once. "And dwonent further says that he was discharged by the said Henry for the sole re1 son that he was a friend of organized labor and had been taking an active parr In getting up the union. That the said Henry' had always been an enemy of union labor and took this means to prevent a union being formed among his employes. That this enmity to unions prevented the union from being formed and no union was ever formed after he and the wail Gambrel were discharged. Deponent further say that Henry, when asked if there were any charges agxinst hlr ., had merely replied in the negative. "CHAItLES NATION."

I have known Charles L. Henry and Len Cox. the superintendent of the Anderson street railway company. In June. 1S:3. was the first time I ever met Mr. Henry. The matter of organizing b.Ls motormen and conductors into a union had been considered by the Madison county federation of labor and a3 one of the committee appo.nted to wait upon Mr. Henry to sei about this matter I called at his office in the postofllce block and then end there talked with him relative to the matter of organizing his motormen and other employes. He said he would not give his con-rent to such a movement and furthermore stated that he woul4 not have a dollar invested in any kind of un enterprise controlled by organized labor or where he had to deal With it. "The Interview did not list more than a few minutes, but it was sufficient to convince myself and other members of the oommittee that it was no 11? to talk with him about the matter as h3 was bitterly opposed to the matter of organizing his conductors and motormen. During this talk he said that he did not think worklngmen should organize bjcause it was really a detriment to their own Interests. The laboring men of Anderson who belonged to labor organizations talked a great deal about this matter and it was generally known among them that he was opposed to labor organization In all Its forms. "After the motormen and conductors had been dismissed from the service cf the company it was generally understood In labor circles that thee men had beer: dismissed because of their known sympathy with organized labor and because they were known to have figured in the attempt to organize a union. I haw. noticed that every one of the boys who figured In this matter have since been discharged by Superintendent Cox and Ieiviumably upon Mr. Henry's orders. "I am also personally acquainted with Len Cox, the sup rlnMident of the electric railroad in Anderson owned and operated by Mr. Henry. I have heard him Ftat on numerous cceasions that Mr. Henry had no use for organised labor and that when hi (Henrv) c-ould not run his business without the aid of unions he would quit. "I will state further that from my position in the local labor circles I had every opportunity to know of all movements looking to the organization of new unions, and lhat I took a prominent part in attempting to organize a numb r of the mr; in Mr. Henry's employ.

The following crtkle Is go'.r.g the round of the press without definite credit. Ir contains many valuable hints. Blindness Is more prevalent among hcrses in Ohio than those of cny other section cf th-? country. The cause of blindness are attributed In a great, measure to overfeeding, the Ohio horses bcins notoriously fat. It is a common practice In that state to force the fat upon horses Intended for sale by stuffing them principally with Indian corn and keeping them, without much service, In warm, close siables. This method of feeding won fatle;is a horse, but at the same tim Its digestive functions are injured by the treatment It Is now believed that the blindness can be traced to a sympathetic relation between disorder of the digestive o;gans and the brain, and that through the latter the optic nerve become diseased and ends In destroying the vision. Blindness is also frequently trr.nsmltted to offspring, and thus an evil, first originating In disease, almost becomes a natural defect by hereditary descent. Errors in feeding horses, tis Is well known, also produce bl'nd staggers, stomach staggers and organic disease of the brain; therefore the greatcct care should be exercised in feeding them Diet Is Recommended In order to prevent the spread of hore blindness It is recommended that whenever the animal shows the least symptoms of the disease it should b.1 liept on a light diet of hay and cats. A horse may be maintained In good condition on twelve pounds of hay and five paunds of oats for daily feed In breeding horses it is also recommended tht all animals showing the least symptoms of organic disease be rejected. One of the first symptoms incident to blindness, which atiy person may readily notice, i3 the disposition of the aninul to rats' his forelegs unnecessarily hiirh, while at the same time the ears are drawn back and forth In quick succession and thus giving sure evidence that the sagacious animal is sounding the ground over which he travels. These are the principal ideas advanced by most veterinarians respecting the cause of prevalent horse blindness In our country and a mode of arresting the spread of the evil. There are some other causes of this disease tvhleh appear more evident, any one of which Is perfectly capable of removal. Blind horses are more common In cities than in the rural districts. This- is principally caused by bad stables. Many of them have underground cellars, and, with a few exceptions, all stables are too small. They do not admit a sufficient quantity of air for ventilation and respiration, and this always tends to injure the health of the animals. Li?ht is as essential to the health of horses as that of men, and yet most stables are nearly as dark as dungeons. It would be far better for most of the horses in our cities to be kept in open .-hod than in th-e stables commonly provided for them. 11) e-IMIiMH Injurious. I am also positive that eye-blinds on the harnen tend to injure the eyts of horses, and as they are totally tisvLsj and unsightly appendages, they should to abandoned entirely. The open bridle h.xs become more common, but It should be universal. Tiarht, close collars, which squeeze the eyos of h ;r.-es In putting them on, are also very Injurious to the t-yes of the animals. I have known one c.i:3e of permanent injury to the eyes of an excellent horse from this cause. Caniage and draft horses should be provided with divided collars, secured cither at the tcp or bottom, so that they .;: not required to be forced ove-r the headj of th-e animals. As a rule, it may be b.sst to discard blind animal for 'breeding purp.;. s. There are cases, however, when the blind ones are far superior in some valuable points and qualities to most of the sound ones. farm wim)-iihi:aks. "Why Every Conn try Place Should Have 31 atuml Fence of WIUuun. Every farm need3 wind-breaks, some more than others, for protection in winter and summer, for what breaks the force of the wind in winter will not only serve the same purpose in summer, hut if the rigftt kind will also supply shade, and shade on a farm Is as necessary as some other things. Anywhere, under any circumstances, a wind-break saves saves fuel in winter whether put into the stove or fed to the stock, and in the summer saves the life or prolong".? the life of man and beast. A tight board fence coats, but it is economy to buf.d if no other kind be available, 'but a board fence in the .-umnv:r may 'be in the way and is always a radiator of heat. If it run in the right direction it may f urn It'll shade, but oilier wind-breaks are better. Better th.on wood, more picturesque and more useful in summer, is the natural fence of willows the common wil'ow that grows wild in great abundance. Nothing requires Cess care. A farmer went into a meadow ar-A eut an armful of willows in the spring, thrust the scions into the earth where he wanttd his wind-break, making two rows, eighteen inches apart, and the work was done. The willows grow wifh surprising rapidity if there be sufficient moisture, and moisture they should have in abundance at the start. After they are rcot 'd they will grow if the soil H not moist, but they grow faster with moisture. In two seasons thry may be an appreciable wind-'". eak, and in another the hedge will turn a cow. In the summer the Eaedge of willows is' ornamental; it gives the yard, the buildings and the surrounding's generally a (bright setting, and, more, it provides through the hot months shade for all small stock on the farm. The duckz, gee, hens, chickens and the turkeys delight In the shady retreat; the "turkey may make her nest there Instead of going to the WKods or roadside bush. In providing a living wind-Core ak several purposes are accomplished, every one important and useful. Oeorge Appleton In Farm and Fireside. SWEHT POTATOHS. Hoiv to Carry the Tubers Through the "Winter In (iuml Condition. In common with many farmers who save their own seed s-wect potatoes, I have had more or !e trouble in carrying the tubers through the winter In good condition, says a writer in the Orange Judd Farmer. All of tht usual methods have been employed with varying success. The tuber. have been wrapped in tissue paper, and stored In dark closets opening out of warm room, yet many rotted or started so much that they would have been useless for bedding. I have laid them in rows about a chimney which was in dally use during tha eiM weather, andi of ton have lo?t half of them. A plan of handling and a place of storage used last winter gave ma great satisfaction. The potatoes intended for winter-

bag were selected for their" good form and soundness, not one which nad the slightest bruise b-ing letained. They were placed a. carefully a possible in baskets, from which they were taken one by one and laid carefully away in a closet under a stairway, within, three feet of the kitchen range. Having had more than were nvbl for peed in the spring, we used what we wanted for the table up to April, and the last ones were as gooi and wellfl.ivorod as they were in October. All were a plumb as when put away, and not a singlo tuber wtit to waqe. The closet was dark and tin tmpjrature was quite uniform at ab.ut sixty-five d?g:vt-s. I asvrlbt? my success In thL instance, first, to the careful selection of sound specimens; second, to the care us I in handling tii m, and, third, t o th uniform temperature and dryness of the dark place of storage. Ornnmetit Vour Farm. Not at groat expense, but with good sense. Do it, with skill and judgni-nl, with a few trees here, another th -re, and a bunch elsewhere. You may never want to part with your farm; 'tat maker no difference; a place beautiful is just as good for you as anybody else, and few artistio touches will often do it at little labor or expense. The beauty thus added to ours Is not only an example but a stimulus to others to do likewise, and presently you may find homes of beauty all along the road from town to home and adu'd valua that few could fall to appreciate. The highways and the traveled roads of our country could be made as cool, shady and attractive as the fmed roads of Europe if the owners of the farms bounded by them could only be Induced to plant shade trees within their fences. And does the reader suppose for a moment that such trees need b only ornamental? Not for a moment. 1'eauty adds value. It Is true, but timber ha a value in addition to tha beauty it aff rds, and a well food and protection for bird and for live tock, fruit and nuts for the young, and In the years to com, when our forest timber is gone, be of more than ordinary value for the practical purposes of life. "Will Pay "Well If Treated Well. Every farmer should have at leaejt a small flock of sheep, says the Orange County Farmer. They are sure. If rightly managed, to show a gratifying profit ovrr that of any ot:ur kind of stock. Wool and mutton will fluctuate greatly in value, no doubt, from year to year, f.t the farmer who keeps a firm hold on hi-s sheep and improves them year by year will succeed. The farmer of limited means, con t roll ng a farm of from sixty to 120 acres, may at rst be abl-3 to select s me gcood, s'rong, vli-bullt and well-woolod ewes from the local buyers. No matter wlut the breed may be the flock can be adjusted by the judicious selection and use of the ram. The selection of the ram of the first impcortance, as upon this depends the development of a flock of ewes to almost perfection, as far as practical purposes are concerned. I would recommend the ram to be well built, not too high off the ground, well wooled over head and legs and his skin should be a clear pink PKin. He should bo a ram with quality as well as size. Farm Xotes. If the manger Is kept etuffed wPJh hay the horses are liable to take the heaves. A New Yorker claims that the healthfulness of his hogs Is due to the large quantity of milk which he gives them. It is observed that young animals cramped and confined never attain the (highest symmetry, strength and vitality. An English beef-grower by experiment reached the conclusion that beeves cease to 4e fed at a profit after they are two years old. Flesh is put on more rapidly In warm weather and while the grass lasts than after cold weather comes. Begin feeding and fattening your stock early. A swine fee-dor say3 the necessity for a liberal supply of salt and a?hes is nearly always increased whenever the hog are put on full feed to fatten. It would seem that these 'broad acres of Uncle Sam's dominion Should be equal to tin- demand our millions make for things to eat, but there is still imported a large portion of our supply of potatoes, beans, eggs, cheese, seed bulbs, etc. This is our own fault. During the past seven years Iowa has planteii out about forty milion forest tret. Switzerland has increased her woodland to about the same extent. This is an encouraging thing, and there could be no 'more profitable move than this upon thousands and thousands of acres of the hard-worked hillsides in our eastern and middle states. It is a frequent mistake of hop-growers to "begin picking too early. Thi3 loses the fullest development of hop flavor and also s. mething in weight. The early picking occasionally has its advantages In saving the crop from Injurious storms, though even then the superior strength of hops that have, fully ripened may make mnrt than what Is lost by storm. Plant the wild cherry. It is fullj' a valualJe as the walnut. It grows to great size and hight and will furnish a great amount of merchantable lumber. It grows more rapidly than walnut and is freer from Insects and borers. It ranks next to mahogany in value. There is not much dilficully in transplanting the young trees. This timber question concern every farmer. Every year on most melon patches some specimens are caught by frost, green, unripe and good for nothing. This is a waste or the vbror of the vine. If the smallest of these are removed one or two weeks before time for frost the vlntwill push the remaining specimens more rapidly and will probably ripen some of them that without this help would have been worthless. A sheep is an animal that is easily overfed, and one If overfed requires a longer time to recover from the effects than almost any other animal. There Is no class of stock that it is more injurious to leave feed before. In all feeding, whether for growth or to fatten, only such a quantity as they will readily cat up clean e!aou!d 'be given. More than this is jKXsitlvely injurious. In fattening, in nearly all cases the better plan is to gradually Increase the grain ration, and not put on a full fattening food too rapidly. English f!ek masters have a habit of relying on th-j annual letting of rams by 1vv-e who keep them for th:. purpose instead of each breeder keeping a ram for hLs own 11 0 -k. Th'i system ha.- the advantage that each owner of a iloek can chojse the ram every year if he chooses, and by Judicious selection h- may thus treed the kind of sheep ha prefers. The price for rams for the seasr-n was higher than usual, as much a $1 CO for one ram being paid. Wool in England is male worth iivre by the market fr,r woon goods in this country which the new tariff gives. It is a frond plan to utilize a time of drought for securing a quantity of readside dust for ue in .the winter. There is nothing better than this to throw in the corner of the hen-house at all times. It will enable them to destroy vermin, though this will do little good unless roosts, walls and nests are puriliel by oth'-r means. The dust from r:ads whose soil Ins a good deal of clay is excellent for covering compost heaps. It is all fhe better if a g.xod deal of horse dropping are mixed with it, as there is apt to be if the dust is secured from roads that are much trawled.

Hints for tbe Housekeeper. The best dusters ara those made of yard wide cheese cloth cut square and neatly hemmed. Bluing added to the rinse water docs not whiten the clothes, only covers dirt, and need not ever be used. Letting cloths hang after they are dry, or letting them hang through a storm or In windy weather to slap rbout, i? not conducive to ong wearing or to help the good man's pocketbiook. Brooms ara bent out of shape by being allowed to reft on th? floor instead of being hung up. Dipping them once or twice a week in a kettle of boiling suds Is the

careful housekeeper' meOiod of making them last twice long aa they otherwise would. Therd are few better razor atraps than can be made from a remnant of old leather belting that has revolved long beneath a dripping of oil from machinery. A razor first stropped on mich a strip of leather and then upon a piece of calfskin is easily kept in good order. This U said to be an effectual vermin exterminator: Dissolve two pounds of alum La three or four quarts of boiling water1 and apply, -while h ;t, to every joint or crevice where anw and cockroaches congregate. It is useful for pantry rhelves and bedsteads, for kitchen llxrs and base boards. Use a brush in applying St. A clothespin bag, made of bed ticking or something stout, in the form of a pocket with a slit on the front side, is much easier to get at than a common bag. A bed ticking apron with a large pocket across the bottom Is better tnan either. A basket expose he clothespins to dust, and the clothes suffer accordingly. Shades for the win lows of a house should not bo selected until the color of the Interior decorations and the surroundings have been fully considered. Clarir.g colors like bright blues and greens are apt to be as disagreeable insile a.s on the outside. Plain white awnings are found to look better after the second year than faded striped ones. Paint, however old and dry it may be. can be removed from carpets or draperies by a liberal use of chloroform. Saturate the spot, keep It closely covered for half an hour, then brush out. The liquid destroys the ell In, tha paint, leaving only a powder that usually comes out, with no tain unless on very' delicate fabrics. In obstinate cases the application may need to be repeated several times.
