Progressive employers should serve notice that the 12-hour day SHALL NOT come back to this state; that the principle of the eight-hour day is a vital part of our industrial existence and we will not surrender it.

At 15 he went to Lexington and entered Kentucky (Transylvania) univer- sity, where he spent two years. After graduation he spent sonm time on the New York San and later entered Columbia Law School Bat he abandoned law after a short time and joined the staff of the New York Times, where he remained several months until iliness compelled him te go South, where he established bim- self in business, It was there that tre became interested in the life of the mountaineers, He sat down one day in the early 90's and wrote about a mountain girl, » beautifal wild creature, who rode not upon a white charger, but upon the back of « little pet, speckked steer. Mr. Fox could describe mountain girls, their wildflower attractiveness, and their love affairs in a way that had never been done before.
