VOI,. XLVIII Injunction Against Strikers Heard Today New York Herald Praises Gov. Mor rison's Reply to the President's Note About the Strike —Deaf Mutes Hold Convention—Farmers' Con vention jn Raleigh Next Week. (By Maxwell Gorman.) Raleigh, July. 25.—Thursday, 27th, is Ha dale set for the hear ing of the injunction against rail way strikers, before U. S. District j J 'ulge Connor, at Raleigh. It promises to be most interest iug and important, in that tin railroad craftsmen will ask for ai interpretation of the injunction issued by him a week ago. Shop craftsmen have been in confer enco herewith JamesF. McMahon of Ralegh, dial-man of the execu tive cSmmii ''u of the Sate Fed eration of Labor, a practical ma chinist, who has been working at the Seaboard shops in Raleigh foi years, and who recently secured license to practice law and opened law offices here. It is understood that the re quest for an "interpretation" maj carry a request for the.modifica tion of the order, as there art phases of it which the labor lead ers do not think it easy to live up to. Mr. McMahon, after confer ring with Felix Cannon, of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engi neer, Ed Ilogau and R. S. Manuey, heads of their crafts with, head quarters at ilaiulet, declared thai he and his associates above every thing desired to live up to tin law; but they wish to know what that law is. There are tine po ; uts about it. The shop men '.\ :iy» have felt that they have the of the national government, in peace fully persuading strikebreakers from then* ilisplHC* mont of strik ers. The conferees h.ue do not so much desire a ruling on any out elehient of the complaint against them as they do a general under •standing as to how it will be ap plied. They are answering the complaints and in setting up that reply they wish to make as intel ligent response as possible. Mr. Cannon is police commis sioner of Hamlet. He hits a job which lays on him the duty ol preserving the peace. He would be greatly hurt if any lawlessness could be ascribed to him. He is from Governor Morrison's home county and sent a stinging tele gram to His Excellency a few days ago 011 the announcement of the , executive purpose to send troops to troubled • s. Hut Mr. Can non's shots are not all so hot. He is very anxious as.cine of the men ei'joined, to show udge Connor that the enjoined seeks to do nothing not permitted by the laws, which Mr. Cannon himself is sworn as a public officer to up hold. IV'uirisoii ill the Llmeliglit. Governor Morrison, who had b« co:..e an outstanding tigure by his attitude the strike of rail way sliopi; s*u »u li leigh ana North (Jaroh i, took on additiou- al effulgence when his two tele grams to the President, in answer to the latter's note to all the guv / ernors, was printed ' 'iroughout the country. Some of our North Carolina pa pers have been unfavorably criti cising Governor Morrison, but he has plenty of backing, and here is an extract from The New York Herald, given as a sample of what much high authority is thinking about Morrison. The New York Herald FndorfcCH Tar Heel Governor. The New York Herald editorial says: "Newspaper headlines seem not to give exactly the right slant -to the reply of the Governor of North Carolina to President Hard ing's call upon state executives for co-operation in preserving the THE ALAMANCE GLEANER country fuel supply. Governor Morrison clearly does not approve direct government interference in labor disputes. lie is frank in expressing his reasons for his atti tude, and he positively declines to urge coal miners to return to work. "On the other hand, nothing could be more satisfactory, as the coal strike situation stands today, than Governor Morrison's utter ance'of what he conceives his duly to bo in the premises, and his declaration of what he will do in the performance of that duty . He will not interfere with :he strike, but he will not let the strike interfere with the law. He will not urge miners to go to work, but if they do go to work he will see that they are free to work. 'he Governor of North Ca rolirja means he says, afro certainly a man who speaks like that is entitled to have his sin cerity taken at face value untjj, there is actual proof that it is of false value, and if the Governor of North Carolina lives up to his words when put to the test, his utterances are sound, exemplary and American. , "If the Governor of North Ca rolina^"fulfills that ideal of execu tive responsibility, faithful guar dianship of the lasv and vigilant protection 'of life and property, any mine owner in his State that wants to operate can operate, if he can get the men to work, and uiy miner can work if he wants to work, and there is a job for him. This is all that is needed in the average state to get out the required coal. "If the Governor of Illinois had neld the admirable views of the Governor of North Carolina, or holding them, had lived up to them, and if he had compelled every officer of the law under the sovereign jurisdiction and au thority of Illinois to live up to chose same views, there need have been no unspeakable Herrin butchery. There need have been uo closing dbwn of other Illinois mines under the fear of violence and crime. There need have been uo acute coal shortage. On the contrary, there would be today, with men secure in their legal and sacred right to work, an outflow of Illinois coal far in excess of what there is. "And if every Governor of every eoal state vill live up to the American doctrine of law enforce ment as enunciated by the Gover nor of North Carolina in his mes sage to the President of the United States, no government, Federal or State, ever will be forced 10 ope rate the coal-mines. "The mine owners will operate them. "The men that want to work but dare- not work when their lives are at stake will dig the eoal." Hctter Conditions lor Mutes. One of the most unique and inter esting State eon vent ions held in Ra leigh recently waß that of the North Carolina Deal Association, which ad journed Saturday after four days session in the hall of the House in the Capitol building, followed by a picnic at l'ulleu Park heie. The Governor was among those who ad dressed the convention, and Mr. Til liugh;ist, interpreted the speech of. His Excellency as he proceeded with such faithfulness and aptness that ;.hose not familiar with the language of the deaf could understand that he repeated, without hearing th©* Gov ernor repeat the words. Some of us tried it with fine effect. The mute-; adjourned to meet in Asheville next year.

Gov ernor Morrison, in speaking to them at the opening of the association, pledged himself to aid in getring the proper treatment of these silent citizens. J. M.

Bion 11. Butler. The business of caring for vaca tionists, and resort visitors will one day be a big one i.i North Carolina, for as wealth increases in the United States more people are able to go away from home for a longer or shorter period of recreation. North Carolina will have a large amount of this business, for th> state has three strong attractions. In the west are the most interest iug inountainsot eastern United States. On the coast are the sounds and-the ocean. In the in terior is that uni'jUo section known as the Sandhills. In all three sections organized woi k i* ap foot to expand the tourist and excursion traffic, each section working a different line, but each bringing into 'he state or into different parts ol the state iu the course of the year thousands of people. Pinehurst during, the season just ended was called on for accommodation for 20,000 vis itors. 4t was more than could be provided for. In spite of the ex penditure of a million dollars in new buildings iu Moore county during the year the growth of patronage continues far ahead of the ability to care for the people. North Carolina lia.i three strong features, the mountains, the coast, and the Sandhills, anl in each different section the growth of the resort business will be far greater in a few years than i' .is now, but it needs to be cultivated through the lu'lp of much greater facilities for reaching the reso sections and more accommoda tions for the people when they :otne.° Necessity keeps increas ing these facilities, and the com munities are moving forward as fast as means are to be had, but the prospects for North Carolina as a resort state are far beyond anything we have attained yet. In the Sandhills we expect be fore long to have roof* to shelter a population of forty thousand people any time. The plan in the Sandhills is to make*the imme diate region the foremost winter resort in the South, and there is no reasou to doubt its accom plishment. I haw- no figured for the mountains and the sea, but. J believe the resort bu.iitess of iloore county brings the county more money annually than the farm crops do, and these include cotton, tobacco, peaches aud other crops. .Not more than a half doz- An separate crops briug as much money to r*orth Carolina as the resort visitors do. In every community there are people who have been wonderful ly restored to health by taking Tan lac. Try it. Sold by Farrell Drug Co., Graham, N..C. What Makes for Prosperous Farmers in North Carolina By C. B. Williams. There can hardly be a shadow of doubt but what th N e first and most important factor in the de velopment of the farm home,, the rural church, and in the better ment ot schools and health in the country, is that of making farm ing pay better. To do this, it is obviously necessary to increase r acreage production in the state at a minimum cost and at th,e same time secure at least reasonably fair returns froin the crops produced. Poor homes, in adequate church and school facili lies are more prevalent than we should like to see them in North Carolina, because of the fact that I-to ni:iiiy of our farms are pro ducing such poor yields and net returns for 1 the efforts put into their operations. During the past few years in our visits to different sections ol the State, we have , been struck very much with the marked cor relation between the productive ness of the soil and the character of the farm homes and their sur roundings; schools and churches; with the healthfulness of the families; and with the educational liualifications of the peofyle. In close proximity to such areas, it is ijot uncommon to find other areas sparsely settled the peoplo living in humble homes "without beautificatiou and with their children not permitted to onj iy social, religious aud educa tional advantages as do the com munities established on more pro ductive lands. The underlying conditions largely casing these differences is not hard to find. My observations are, ehat to a large extent they are funda* mentally connected with differ ences in the productiveness of the soils of these different communi ties. Does not this then, unmis takably point to the fact that the greatest and most fundamental necessity of North Carolina farm ing is tlilit of securing and apply ing information that will aid in the economic building up o? the productiveness of soils of the State? No community, State or Nation, dependent upon its agri culture, can prosper when its soils art* not productive. North Carolina farming, in a general "fcy. therefore, cannot be profitable unless goodly acreage yields are secured and at econo mic costs per unit. No amount of temporizing along other lines ip it broad way can bring prosperity to the masses of our people on the term. Year in and year out, where farmers do not yields of their crops, it is not pos sible to secure large returns for labor and expenses put into theic production, it matters not how favorable prices may ordinarily be. ft is| evident, therefore, from I h foregoing that North Carolina farmers must have economic pro duction and in order to secure this tl vy must have more produc tive soils so that larger acre yields may be secured. For the average jarim r, one of the most econom ical means to aid in building up soil fertiliy is by the tillable crop rotations on every I arm in which legumes enter, and to utilize the legumes aftergrowth in such a way so that they will aid ' T building up the organic matter and nitrogen supplies of the soil. On the general farm, it will have to be s- en to that a por tion at least of the legumes after growth go back into the soil direct No one can, or has ever been able to remove them from the land, and have their growth on the field benefit that field in a permanent way. It cannot be done. Again, after the crops have been produced, steps nui.-t be taken by farmers to see that the ] very best returns are secured for them.

Senators of Voting Without Knowledge Washington Correspondence. While the duty on underwear and cotton was under discussion in the Senate on July IBth, Sena tor Lenroot (Rep., Wis.), said: "While jhe Senator from Utah, in perfect good faith and in nocently, stated that the imports for the eleven months ending with \lay of this year were over $3,- 000,00u-and I supposed that was a fact, as he* did —I find upon a subsequent examination of the cohuuntee report that the imports are only *84,000, and that the present rate of U0 per cent is prac tically prohibitive. Yet the Seuate just voted for a 50 per cent rate. "It is not for me to make any comment upon the action of Sena tors, but I do mako this state ment: 1 doubt if 10 per cent of the Senators who have just voted upon this increase, upon thjp side or upon the other side, had any knowledge or information or ap parent care as to how they were voting. "Mr. President, we are engaged in an important woik here, and I am glad to say that during ihe past week or two the debate has really been confined to the bill. It does seem to me that it is the duty of Senators to form some in dependent judgment upon these rates. They are blindly following or blindly opposing the commit tee. The committee might make a 500 per cent increase and Sena tors would come in and vote iu the affirmative with the commit tee. "Is it any wonder that this bill is being criticised the country over, when Republican Senators take the attitude with reference to it which they have taken, wheu Republican Senators do not take the pains to try to inform them selves as to the correctness of the rate ? "I aui not impugning the mo tives of any Senator; I am not criticising; I am merely stating the facta which they will all admit. Senators justify themselves by saying that the committee has ex amined into these questions, and that they are following the com mittee. I suppose that is their right and that it is their privilege; but I do say that if we want to make a tariff bill which will com mand the confidence of the coun try, and which Republicans can defend, Republican Senator* ought to exercise some responsi bility with reference to their in dividual votes.''- Senator Lenroot, continuing, refers to the demand for lower rates and the break in the Repub lican ranks when the cotton sched ule of the tariff was under dis cussion, and calls attention to the threat that in case the demauds of the committee for high rates were resisted the agricultural schedule would suffer. This dis closes clearly the sinister purpose behind all the pretended conces sions to the fanning interest, and establishes beyond doubt the con tention of opponents of the meas ure that the ttepublican majority is utterly insincere in its profes sions of concern for the agricul tural Slates: a tact which Senator Leuroot appears fully to appre ciate. Rocky Road for Tariff * Bill in Conference. Washington Cor'. Party lenders generally ayree that the Tariff bill cannot b* pass ed before September 1, and can not bo pasaed by that time if it encounters persistent opposition from Republican progressives and, the deserting members of the Old Guard. The bill will then have! to go to confereitco, ami, as the I .Senate rates, iu tunny instances, i are much higher than Uflu House 1 rates, it may be assumed that Hje j House conferees will make an effort to restore the house rates' on many articles, which will meau hi in lurther delay. liut there is another obstacle to the adoption of the bill with the Senate rank if the usual pro cedure is had. The Seuate con ferees, according to an established ruie will t»A composed of the three ranking majority members of the Fiu.nice Committee and the two ranking miuority members. The ranking Republican members of the committee are McCumber ( *. Dak.), Smoot (Utah), and LaFo llette (Wis). The ranking Demo cratic members are Simmons(\. C.) and Williams (Miss.). Sena tor LaFollette is against the ex tortionate Senate rates and also against the extortionate rates in the bill as it came from the House, so that it may be assumed he will vote with the'two Democratic members in restoring most of the House rates, which were increased by the Seuate. So that it will be seen that the profiteering tariff bill, which President Harding has [repeatedly urged shall be passed against the better judgment of many members of his own party in the Senate and House, still has a rocky road to travel. If the Senate fails to pass the Tariff bill by the first week in September, it is generally agreed that it will not-g"t through before Qctober 1, in which event, it would not get into the hands of the Pres ident until after -election.

At Washington Today Boston Transcript (Rep.), July 14, 1922. Leadership is our graatest pre sent need, and it is there that the Party System has played us false. To manipulate its vast and intri cate machinery there arose a groat demand for expert mechan icians, aud these have evolved in rich profusiou. But iu a crisis like the present mechanicians will not serve our purpose. The real need is a Man, who by the exam ple of his own courage, vigor, cer tainty and steadfastuess will draw out the highest qualities of the people; whose resolute sense of duty will brufch opportunism a side; whose sympathy and truth fulness will stif the heart and bold fast the conscience of the nation. Leadership of this sort we have lacked.—From Oliver's "Crdeal by Battle." Leadership of thiH sort we lack today. The party in power has failed as yet to raise up such a leadership. On that account and to that extent it is guilty of be traying the people w ho put it in power by an overwhelming ma jority less than two years ago. 'i'he spirit of the people is souud and true. It "can do much but it cannot do everything." One of the things It cannot do is to take the place of a Man —the Man that is wanted at Washington to day. For the first time in the history of the United States there are now more people working in fac tories than on the farms. A TALK WITH A GR'AHAM MAN. Mr. J. N. M. Clendenlii, Hi-tlrcd Parmer, of H.

Republi can Senator* and leaders are J seriously considering the post ponement of the Tariff bill until the short session of Congress in December. The barrage laid down against this profiteering measure by the leading itepubl£ can papers of the country, the growing defectiou iu their owu ranks, and the results of Repub lican primaries everywhere have caused a genuine panic among the profiteering protectionists. Some of the more discerning ones are actually advising revision of the rates downward, and are willing to ta"ke all the time necessary to d>» it, instead of criticizing the Democrats as heretofore for alleg ed at'einpts- to delay a'vote on the bill. They only party de feat on tlie passage of the bill with its exorbitant rates and therefore i.-f be glad to see it go over uut 1 nf'i-r emotion; that is, they Would o« glad it it were not for the fact tnai they M»uld then have to take up the Soldiers' Bonus bill, of which th.-y are as much afraid as they are of the Tariff bill. At this writiug no safe predH£ tion can be nut'to as to just what the panicky Republicans will «lo j with the' Tariff bill, because the ionly leadership ou the Republican j side is that displayed by Lenroot (Hep , Wis.), who is now lighting j some of the high rates, and gene | rally giving an imitation of the ! late Senator Dolliver in tho Payne t Aidrich tariff fight. One fact, however, they all rec ognize: That the le.tdorloss Re publican party is now in the worst jam it has ever been in. So far as the Republicans iu the Senate are concerned the only Moses in that body bears the Christian name of George, and is tho antith esis of a leader.
