rossibility of a Strike Too
Far Distant to Consider—
Differential Asked
Chicago, Sept C«—General chair
men of the Switchmen's Union of
Forth America, in session here to
day, voted to demand an increase
In switchmen's *v ges amounting to
23.36 per cent over the present rate
cf pay. This, according to a state
ment by T. C. Cashin, president of
the organization, will, if granted,
bring switchmen’! wages up to the
level demanded in 1920. The restora
tion of the differential between night
• nd day work is also to be asked.
The Brotherhood of Locomotive
Firemen and Knginemen general
chairmen, who also are considering
the formulation of new wage de
mands, were in executive session to
night, and will report tomorrow.
Mr. Cashin said that the probabili
► ty of a strike growing out of the de
mands formulated at today's meeting
was "too far in the distant future
to speculate about at the present,”
adding that negotiatic.is with the
railroads would probably occupy the
attention of the switchmen's com
mittees until late fall, after which,
should the railroads refuse the in
crease, the matter will be taken up
With the railroad labor board.

“Tanlac is such a wonderful storri.
Rc-h medicine I would not be without
It in the house for anything, and
I can not praise it too highly,” was
the recent statement of Mrs. A. M.
Nicholson, residng at 2 Pennsylva
nia Ave., Asheville, N. C.
“For years acute stomach trouble
nearly drove me frantic at times,
and constipation would give me
headaches and dizzy spells that
would nearly topple me over. My
stomach was so weak even toast
or a drink of water would nauseate
me. Gas would bloat me up, often
causing such intense pain that I
could hardly breathe, and I was so
nervous I could seldom sleep much.
“Inside of five or six weeks the
Tanlac treatment made a well
woman of me, and I was sleeping
better than I had since I was a
child and eating everything with
out a bit of trouble.”

Taxes Imposed In Russia
Are Declared to Be Ruin
ous In Every Respect
London. Sept. 7.—South Russia
at present offers no golden oppor
tunities for American business men
according- to John H. Lang, of Seat
tle, who recently passed through
this city on his way home after 18
months in Odessa <and other Black
Sea ports, where he was in charge
of port operations for the Ameri
can relief administration.
"There is practically no trade
on the Black Sea." said Mr. Lang.
“Even Greek and Armenian trad
ers have given up in despair, and
everyone who knows the Black Sea
realizes that when these traders
find unsurmountable obstacles to
commerce, there must be something
serious the matter.
"The new economic policy of the
soviet was heralded as a long ex
pected loosening of government
control, when it was inaugurated
more than a year ago the people
had great hopes that a new era
was dawning in communistic Rus
sia. But such hopes were soon
dashed.
"After shopkeepers had opened
their stores with what little stocks
they could get, they found that the
government officials were waiting
only for trade to be resumer to im
pose ruinous taxes. These taxes
made business impossible for shop
keepers. for importers and export
ers alike.
Harvest prospects in South Rus
sia are excellent, according to Mr.
Lang, who said that nobody in Rus
I s'a should go hungry this winter.
SUN’S SOLAR ECLIPSE
SEEN BY FOREIGNERS
Mexico City, Sept. 7.—A party of
German scientists, headed by Prof.
H. Dudendorff. director of the Pots
dam observatory and brother of the
field marshal, were the first of the
foreign savants to arrive in Mexico
to observe the solar eclipse on Sept.
10. After being welcomed by repre
sentatives of the government and
inspecting the national observatory
at Tucabaya. the party left for Yer
baniz, Durango, where they will in
stall their instruments.
In the party is Prof. It. Schorr, di
rector of the Hamburg Observatory,
who, at the outbreak of the world
war, was with Professor Ludendorff
in the Crimea on the same mission
that finds them in Mexico. They
were forced to abandon all their in
struments according to Schorr, and
flee to Germany to avoid intern
ment. Several moths ago the pro
fessors travelled to Odessa and man
aged to retrieve the outfit, which is
now being sent to Yerbaniz for use
in observing the coming eclipse.
OIL, PRODUCTION IS
FAR BEHIND DEMAND
Washington, Sept. 7.—Despite
government efforts in promoting the
most efficient development of oil
more evident th.it the country’sett
fields, it is becoming more and more
evident that the country’s oil pro
duction will probably never again
catch up with the demand, accord
ing to a recent statement of the
bureau of mines.
Domestic consumption increased
from 261,000,000 barrels in 1914 to
586,000,000 barrels in 1922, the bu
reau’s figures show, while produc
tion increased from 266,000,000 bar
rels to 552,000,000 in the same
period '. Imports increased to make
up the deficit.
Bureau engineers have made ex
tensive investigations of oil shale
deposits in the Rocky Mountains
and elsewhere and declare a poten
tial fuel supply of great importance
exists in these deposits and some
day will furnish the raw materials
upon which producers must rely. In
vestigation is bein^r continued to
determine the most favorable condi
tions and methods for retorting oil
from shale deposits.

NEW CEIIIS
PUBLIC
Farmers Are Getting Very
Valuable Information
—Idle Land
Raleigh, Sept. 7.—The first coun
ty farm census report completed
this year, that of Oates county, was
made public today by Frank Parker
crop statistician of the department
of agriculture.
Every one of the TOO counties of
North Carolina are expected to
make sensus reports this year and
75 per cent of them probably will
make reports from each of the com
ponent townships, said Mr. Parker.
“This work is the result of the co
operative efforts on the part of
county commissioners and the state
and federal departments of agricul
ture. the information beolng secured
through the regular township tax
supervisors.” the agricultural sta
tistician continued.
Copies of the county farm census
reports are avalable as they are
completed, at Mr. Parker's office in
the new state agricultural building
here.
"The first report Issued concern
ing Oates county," says a state
ment issued by Mr. Parker in mak
ing public the report, "shows the
acreage and the number of owned
farms growing the different rrops,
as well as the number of productive
livestock, land divisions, tenants,
amount of fertilizers used, fruit
trees planted, etc., together with the
number of owned farms from which
each was reported. Similar infor
mation is also given by townships.
Graphic drawings are made to show
the county township divisions, to
gether with the proportional land
area cultivated. Another circle
graph shows that the part of the
county area cultivated by owners
is 19 per cent, by tenants, 11 per
cent; idle land, 4 per cent and wood
land, 63 per cent. Another graph
shows that corn occupied 36 per
cent of the county’s area, cotton 22
per cent ;soy beans 5 per cent; sweet
potatoes 2.5 per cent and other
crops 4.5 per cent. A line graph
shows a number of farms on which
each of the crops is grown. •
Reports for other counties are be
ing completed and will be issued as
rapidly as possible- Subsequent re
ports will show the number of acrds
as compared with the census figures
for 1919 crops and 1920 live stock.
This information will go to county
officials and others interested in the"
particular county to which the in
dividual report applies.
"The farm census reports are the
final proof that at last the farmers
are Retting some reliable informa
tion on which they can analyze
their economic farm conditions and
may safely plan for another year's
work. The educational agencies
then can utilize this to a grelit ad
vantage by comparison with neigh
boring counties and determining the
degree of diversification existing.
"The idle land factor is certainly
one deserving considerable attention
especially as this may relate to the
degree of farm abandonment and
labor shortage that exists, the
causes of which may be various.
