Representatives of the workers who have been holding conferences here, it was definitely learned tonight, have de cided upon this course, taking the po sition that the present wage standard must be maintained, as economio con ditions will not permit any reduction. There Is little danger of any ces sation of work should the railroads put the reductions In force, union officials said, as the employes will appeal to the railroad labor board at Chicago and abide by its decision. The railroad managements. It Is understood, will also obey the board's edict. " The position of the workers was of flclallv made clear today when repre sentatlves of the unskilled men notified the management of the New York Cen tral railroad that they flatly refused to consider proposed wage cuts of from 17 1-2 to 21 per cent 'as we find that those employes today are not receiving sufficient Income to maintain their families properly," Representatives of the skilled work era of the New York Central, with the exception of those in the "big four" brotherhoods, it was learned have also deolded to reject proposed wage cuts. Altogether, approximately 70,000 em ployes of the Central lines have decid ed to oppose any reduction.

Continued Improvement In train serv ice was announced by Colonel Bugg. who also gave out a statement deny ing charges of waste of funds as made last night by union leaders who asked the Interstate Commerce commlsison to Investigate the road. Colonel Bugg said he would pelcome such an Investigation, declared the road has not an excess of material on hand, denied the other charges, and referring to salaries paid to genera. .officers, declared the road must have skillful men and that their total sala ries amount to less than $ per cent of the whole pay roll of more than 14.000.000 a year. He also suggested that investigation of the salaries paid J. B. Hogshed and Val Fltzpatrick. two of the international union officers conducting the strike, would ' interest the public very much."

It will probamy oa accompaniea, as was President Roosevelt's sending of the American battleships to visit Asia, by assurances of friendly inten tions toward Japan, but it will stir the east even more than did that earlier evidence of this country's naval fnter- t in the Pacific. It will alter the whole politcal bal ance In the far east. It will altec Ja pan's role there and reduce her Impor tance, at least for the time until she can make new politcal alignments. It will strengthen China and make Pekln and Toklo capitals almost as Impor tant as centers of world politics as London and Paris are now. It will hrow the Philippines into relief so that if the Pacific policy becomes pop lar no American political party can propose their independence within year or so. Its effect upon the Anglo-.Tapanese treaty of alliance will be watched with reat Interest. This treaty expires within a year or so and both parties ave referred It to the league of na tions as a compact possibly Inconsls- ent with the principles of the cove nant. This affords them both an easy way out of the embarrassment of a re fusal to renew it. For, If the leagus should condemn the treaty, then It would lapse at the end of its term and not be renewed.

Work on about 60 miles of Guilford county roads will be begun Immediate ly, according to Information given out yesterday following the Joint ex ecutive meeting of the board of coun ty commissioners and the Guilford highway commission. Both hard sur face and sand clay roads will be built, with the latter type in the majority. It is the policy of the highway com mission to begin work in the four sections of the county simultaneously, giving each section an eaual showing as to the beginning. None, of the highways coming under tne jurisdiction of the stats highway commission were considered yesterdax. However, at a meeting last week It was intimated that the Otbsonville Greensboro highway would be com pleted by the county, to be turned over to the state upon completion. On motion of Commissioner J. A. Rankin it was agreed to Improve greatly Church Street extension from the city limits to a point near C. A. McNeeley's place, a distance of about 2 1-1 miles. This will be project No. 1 and will be bulk under the penetra tion system. Roads constructed under this system come under a category between the macadam and the asphalt classes. The base ts composed of stone, penetrated with an asphaltic substance. Chairman W. C. Boren, of the high way commission, moved that the road from the Battleground to Summerfleld, a distance of about seven miles, be re paired and made a hard surface road, cement foundation with asphalt sur face, and that the road from Summer field to Ogburn's cross roads, a dis tance of about three miles, be built hard surface, penetration system; also that the road from Stokesdale by Og burn's cross roads, east to the Rock ingham county line, including about one-half mile from Ogburn cross roads to the Rockingham line, be sand clay. This motion was unanimously adopted. High Point Township Work. 3. Elwood Cox' motion that the road beginning at the hard surface road at hfe Methodist Protestant orphanage trading northwardly by Deep River church to Friendship, where it Inter sects the highway from Ureensboro to Winston-Salem, be made a sand-clay highway was adopted unanimously, as was hi motion that tne road begin, nine at or near the Amos Ragan place, known a, Dee JUrCes naAt- aez-iFree I- man a mill be sand-clay, and also tne road known as tho Mechanlcsvilie road beginning at the Methodist Protestant rphanage F.nd running west by the John Blair and otner farms to tne High Point and Winston-Salem high way be made a hard-surface road. L. T.

Upon the motion of Commissioner J Foushee the Joint boards authorized that West Lee street extension, from the Central fair grounds to the city rhlts, be made a hard-surface, asphalt road. This covers approximately a He and a half. Chairman W. C.

Chairman Tuoker declared that the werk will be given to contractors msk ing the beat bids, the same as the oth er road work has been distributed in the county. The members of the commissions stressed the point yesterday that the work Just authorized Is but a begin ning and those people who live on roads not Included In the program need not be disappointed. A beginning had to be made. Someone had to be left out. It Is expected that actual work on the roads authorized to he Improved at yesterday's meeting will be com menced Just ss soon as contracts are made. It Is the policy of the high way commission to do a great deal of work during the present year, taking advantage of the spring and summer weather. Since the voting of the 12,000,000 bond Issue for road Improvements In the county, people all over fJullford have been clamoring for the commence ment of the work. The news of the Joint meeting's decision to begin work Immediately will be highly received from all sections. TASK OF GOVERNQRiNG Gubernatorial Honeymooning Over, He Faces Big Job.

Gubernatorial honeymooning being over, Cameron Morrison is now going up ngalnst the real thing In the Job to which he has been wedded. So long as the legislature was In ses sion and the newspapers could handle only a tenth of the stuff that "broke' every day, the big things pnly got Into tne papers, and tlie executive swath cut was of most capacious width. But every legislature leaves a lull which oppresses everybody connected with It The first assembly in the life of eaoh governor takes nearly all his big work off his hands. The governor has then tne conventional Job of governing. Ho appoints friends to office and declines to appoint Dther friends; he makes commencement speeches, refuses and grants pardons and negotiates a grand anti-climax as he proceeds with the Job to which ho has been elected The real Ufa of Governor Morrison has begun. He had so much to do on the. flo-day honeymoon, so much legis lative cooing and coquetting, that he hadn't time to think about revenue commissioners, state prison supertn tendents, presidents of colleges, super intendences of hospitals or anything else but making lsglslatlve love. Not even Blckett coukl beat Morrison court ing the 170. Blckstt's line of .talk to them was less suggestive of his belief that he was going to be boss of the works, but that was temperamental rather than elBewlse, Governor Mor rison got along with the assembly as well as anybody ever did, and got as much action from it as did Blckett, who had broken all previous records for hitting the mark. , Sometimes the gen eral assembly ' thought he shut hath eyes and biased away with his blun derbuss, then went out to see what he had struck. But they worked with Blckett, these general assemblies did, and the retiring body co-operated with Morrison. .j Ho Must. Work Alons Now, .'" But there is nobody to work with him on the real business of the office, appointing, pardoning, declining and speaking. Governor Morrison's trou bles have begun. The honeymooning of the office has passed, and the stern business ov.his afftwa mnox he riani. 1. --Yeera T CPoVsrhoF , Morrisoir ap pointed js. r. Mccuuougn, f Bladen county, superintendent of the state prison to succeed J. R. Collie, whose I vmmne and tender treatment of the prison population Is much the brightest spot In a penitentiary history not par ticularly luminous in North Carolina. The Bladen Scotchman ts aocounted a fine man and a splendid oltisen. He has been chief clerk out there and knows the work. He will be as far away on electrocution mornings as was collie, wno has about banished tho rod rule at the prison. Both men are supposed to have been Morrison supporters in the primaries of 1920, though Collie may not have been both times (or the Mecklenburg man. There was no doubt about Mcculloch's choice. And the weapons that he used on Max Gardner were not padded gloves. ' These weapons were deadly. Here is what a Scotchman told on Mc culloch after the primary In .fuly: A Bladen man, generally agin- the stock law, would come up to the poll ing places. Chief Clerk MoCulloeh, having no pressing prism business on hand that required him to employ the absentee voters' act. would be pres ent in his own proper person. The Bladenlte would go through a most artistic questionnaire. Was he In fa vor of woman suffrage, the Anthony amendment nnd the enfranchisement of the negro woman? Hqulrtlngly not. And If not, "Vote for Morrison." The ballot was not to hunt, for Mr. Mc culloch brought It with him. It will be observed that Mr. McCul- loch.dld note ask the Kladen man whether he favored a $50,000,000 Issue of bonds, 120,000,000 for schools and the abolition of the ad valorem tax, the repeal of the state architect and building commission; the supreme Issue was whether the Bladen man was In favor of woman suffrage. He wasn't. of course. Mr. Collie did no such great work as that. Then the governor Is going to ap point George Ross Pou, a nice yoiin&t Johnston county man. to the vhtef clerkship. Mr. Pou did great Morrison work in Johnston; hut that bright young fellow nover advertised the fact that Governor Morrison. Ihen I'andldate Morrison, was a tax reformer or a $60,000,000 road governcr. Mr. Morri son was agsinst woman suffrsge ami that was enough. Hamon Beat and Cursed Her, Then Pistol Fired CLARA ON STAND Woman Charged With Murder Of Jake Hamon Re-enacts Scene Of the Killing. SHE GIVES WAY TO TEARS (I? AawUled rren.) Ardmore, Okla., March 35. Clara Smith Hamon, on trial for the murder of her employer, Jake h. Hamon, Okla homa millionaire oil man, today on the witness stand re-enacted the scene when she ahot Hamon, who, she swore. had beaten her and cursed her, and at the moment of the shooting was threatening to strike her with a chair She maintained too, under cross-examination, that she had not intended to kill Hamon. Her testimony was the last of the day, and the defense an nounced that except for the matter of the admissibility as evidence of letters from Clara to .Hamon, It rested Its case. Both In her direot testimony and on cross-examination she maintained she could not tell Just how the pistol was discharged, but that It was discharged a's she was attempting to unlock the door of her room to escape Hamon, who she said was threatening to strike her with a chair. At one point in her direct testimony she Illustrated to the Jury the arrange ment of her room, and how her view of Hamon was cut oft for a moment as she reached the door. At the request of Attorney General Freellng, who is directing the prose cutlon, the defendant pointed the pistol at him as she said she did at Hamon. "I might have pulled the trigger she testified, "but 1 don't remember. I did not Intend to shoot him, but my hand might have relaxed To many questions by Attorney Chen em! Freellng, Clara said with a shrug of her shoulders, "I am sure, general, I can't remember." She reiterated she eould not tell just when the pistol was dlschargsd; that she did not know whether tne putoi fired as It left her hand, or when the chair hit hef. Clara said she had pawned her dia monds presented by Hamon to pay the expenses of her trial. She aald that at the hospital Hamon aid ha was going to dls, that he was worse than the doctors said. 'I don't Just remember what else he said," she replied to the question. Attorney General Freellng question ed Clara Hamon regarding alleged statements by her to the reporters. Fre quently she denied the accuracy of de tails of the printed atory, saying, -i Just can't remsmber," or that tho re porter had misunderstood or misquoted her.

The delay In shipping hoard selec tions, which generally had been ex pected to be ready for senate consid eration today, was attributsd to a tech nicality of the merchant marina aot requiring that all seven members ot the new board must bs named before any of them could sssume his duties.

That th war flnsnos corporation la baglnntog ta function again tn bhalt of agricul tural export wa indloatsd today by a statement mad by Angus MoLa, Its Tar Hesl managing director, wh re ported a million dollar advane t a concern ' desiring to export milk pro ducts of Europ. "Th board of director of th war finance corporation," aald Mr. MoLaan, "today approved a preliminary applica tion for an sdvsno of tl.OoO.tOO upon th Joint obligation ef an American hank and an American exporter, to flnanc the exportation of milk pro ducts to Europ. Th raw material ar produced principally In th eastern and mlddl western Stat" This I a small start toward th billion dollars or mor advances th war flnanc corporation Is supposed to. be able to msk to further Amerioa' xport business, but It Ir a start and gives promts that th corporation may gradually becom of mor and mors assistance to American Industry, par ticularly agriouitur. Congress ordered th war flnanc corporation to resume activities almost solely, to aid th flnanoially depressed farm producers. Th eorporatlon was brought back to lit after ths Presi dent had vetoed a bill ordering It to function one mor and sines that time there has been a period of watchful waiting ta what good may rasult. ' A Now Member Condnnsd. Msmbr ot Congress whs ordinarily ar In sympathy with th farmer to day derived om satisfaction out of ths oonflrmatlon by th senat ef th nomination of Eugene Meyer, ef Nsw York, a a director ef th corporation. Mr. Meyer was formerly a member of th flnanc eorporatlon, but did not get along with Secretary Houston. Ths latter wa chiefly responsible for th fact that th Snana eorporatlon prao tlcally closed up shop a year ago, Mr. Meyer, whe had left th board, was among thoss urging Congress to bring th oorporatlon back to lit whlls Sec , Meyer said th eorporatlon eould mate rially assist ths agricultural Industry during It period of depression, while Mr.' Houston said tt eould not bsoaus of th unsatisfactory nature of th se curities to b offered snd because America was xportlnv about all Ku rope could pay for. u Now Secretary Houston I (on and Mr, Meysr will go baok on th Job, 1 I otieratlnsr far a tims with Managing Director McLean, Secretary Mellon and George R. Cooksey. A fifth director Is till to be appointed. - - With Mr. Meyer back en th board Interest attaches to Its sarly activities under ths new administration. Ths corporation, ef course, la held down by the law and It osnoot msk direct ad vance to farm producer, as some folk might Imagine. It ean only aid sporting by making advances to American exporter and banks' en gaged In export business and then th trsnsactlon must b a gsnuln en, not speculation, and th sourltlc of fered must b bang up and worth their face. Small exporters ar hardly abl to take advantag ot th larg busi ness snd before material benefits come te the farmer and producer, there must, b a spurt tn export business handled by big and rssponsibls ronoerrs.
