' The incidents occurring in the. lives of active trades unionists - contain both pathos and heroism. E.'. R.. Pace, a machinist, residing at Raleigh, N. C, was elected to the lower house of the legislature last fall. He stood alone the only and first unionist member of that body. But he had initiative, courage and persistence. He introduced several bills and suc ceeded in getting three of them en acted into law. One law allows the transportation companies to issue free transportation to widows or minor children of pen sioned, furloughed, superannuated, disabled or diseased employes. Another relating to factory owners providing medical and surgical ap pliances in factories. It is provided that all factories in the state shall be equipped with certain medical acces sories as first aid to injured or ill employes. Aiso a law was enacted providing for the ten-hour day (maximum) in cill iactories after January 1, 1912. This initial labor legislation will undoubtedly spur the unionists, of North Carolina to seek to increase their number of members in the next session. Cereal Workers.
