oaee with a resolution slotted at
Atlanta' tout entiop held July 15-17. The
Baleigh shopmen were not represented
at too convention and did sot vote
atrika until action had been taken
other Southern pointa participating ia
that convention.
Last night, only the foremen were on
duty at the local shops. While the im
mediate effect of the atrike on traflle
will not be appreciable, labor men here
anticipate that within four days cm
bargoee will be placed on freight an
traffic will be almost at a standstill.
They anticipate that a settlement
the difficulty by the granting of their
demands for increased wagee will be
forthcoming within three or -four days.
The shopmen were carrying out the
preliminaries of the atrike even while
their Grand Lodge representatives
Washington, conferring with the United
States Bailroad Administration, were
urging the mnot to atrike, stating that
the administration had consented
to
enter into a National agreement with
the anions covering rules and working
conditions.
Waat Wage Increase Now
. This, apparently, did not satisfy the
union men. who insist that thel' de-
' maad for increase in wages from sixty
eight to eighty-five cents per hour for
machinists and from forty-fire to sixty
cents per hour for helpers, has been
before the railroad administration for
eve a months without action. An agree
meat on rules nnd working conditions
did not meet ttu situation.
.Consequently, the move thus inaugu
rated is an independent strike over
the heads of the officers of the organi
cation and for this reason, lenders here

wide atrike, tying up all sorts of traffic
unless settled before it is allowed to
reach that stage.
Haadred Per Cent Strike.
The movement here waa a hundred per
Seaboard and Norfolk Southern, of
whom J. F. MeMahoa, of the Seaboard,

Who Are Out.
The striking employes include pipe
fitter, electricians, boiler makers, ma
chiniats, carmen, blacksmiths, c - in
spectors, and helpers. This is the eer
ond strike of the year at (he Oeaboard.
The other occurred a few months ago
when the craftsmen walked out in sym
pathy with striking clerks. They went
back to work then, however, upon as
anraaces of a settlement of the situa
tion. The strikers yesterday afternoon came
out of their meeting quietly and stood
about the entrance for a bit and then
dispersed. There waa no disorder then
or last night and none in expected. The

will be held there each morning at ten

Raleigh's reception committee of men
and ladies who will formally greet
Vice President and Mrs. Thomas H.
Marshall upon their arrival here Mon
day evening to attend as guests of
honor the big "Know-Your-N'elghbor"
dinner, were announced laat evening
respectively by President A. L. linker
of the Chamber of Commerce and Mrs.
J. Bryan Grimes, vice president of the
Woman a Club.
Following arc the members of the
committee selected to assist President
Baker in receiving Vice President Mar
shall: William J. Andrews, J. W.
Bailey, C. B. Barbee, J. C. Biggs, Joseph
0. Brown, J. M. Broughton, Alebtr Cox,
K.
B. Crow, W. B. Drake, E. C. Duncan,

O'Donnell, C. B. Park, John Park, Clar
ence Poe, J. H. Pou, W. C. Biddick, W.
H. Sawyer, Charles Lee Smith, Howard
White, and B. W. Winston.
The reception committee which will
extend the welcome of Balcigh's ladies
to Mrs. Marshall was named by Mrs.
Grimes as follows: Mrs. A. I Baker.
Mrs. Kobert Bridges, Mrs. B. I). W.
Connor, Misa Elsie Haywood and Mrs.
E. 0 Donnell.
Announcement yesterday at the
'lumber of Commerce that Vice Presi
dent Marshall had accepted Balcigh's
iuvitation to speak at the "know-your-neighbor"
dinurf got about town
mighty aoon after II r. W. H. Sawyer
returned from Washington with the
Vice President's acceptance. Mr. Sawyer
had been delegated by the Chamber of
Commerce to invite Mr. Marshall on
behalf of the directorate.
Word was receive yesterday fruu. Mr.
Vance C. MnCormick, chairman ot the
War Trade Board, that ha waa prevented
from coming to Baleigh. lit bad been
asked along with Mr. Marshall. Mr.
McCormiek, however, in wiring his re
grets to President Baker "wished for
the Chamber of Commerce the utmost
success in its efforts to develop the bet:
tor relationship between the business
men of the city and the business men
of the farms."
The news of the ViecPsesideni's com-
g set the telephones of the Chamber
Commerce offices jingling all day
th belated requests for reservations;
each mail brought its bundle of Ac
ceptance and the clerical force it the
offices was busy most of tin day filling
requests by many who called in person.
The announcement that Mrs. Marshall
as going to be a guest also, her first
visit to Kaleigh by the way, doubled the
demand for places at the big banquet
onrd of the City Audltonugvand it ia
safe to say that mighty few Baleigh
husbands are going alone to the dinner
Monday night that is unless the wife
has gone to the country or somethiug.
The chief problem confronting the
chamber's officials therefore is the
question of taking care of those who
want reservations. The rapacity of the
big hall is necessarily limited and the
only solution that offers is to establish
"flrst-come-first-served" ruling. In
order therefore to take care of the last
Inute rush which is anticipated today.
the clerical force at the chamber will
devote its entire attention todav to
handling reservations by mail, phone
personal call.
Details for the big dinner, including
decorations, program, and so on, will
worked out ttylay, as the chamber is
aiming to make this a gula affair of
s kind in North Carolina's history.
The "get acquainted with your neiah-
bor" spirit and message that la behind
Chamler o( Commerce campaign
nd which will be more thoroughly
demonstrated thau ever before at Mon
day's dinner, was delivered to the as-
mblcd bankers of the city yesterday
afternoon by C. C. Kirkpatrick at a
meeting of the Baleigh Clearing House
Assoc iat iea.
Mr. Kirkpatrick's talk was directed
long the lines of better business re-
iionsnip, co-operation on a mere
friendly and practical basis with the
farmers of the community, ia order to
help solve the financial difficulties ia
hoosting greater production on the
farms.
That Baleigh's growth ia aa in-
dustrial, commercial and evea civic way
aepenas to a large degree on the de-
elopment of the agricultural dis
tricts, the trade territory of Baleigh.
in conclusion Mr. Kirkpatrick empha
sised the importance ef training and
directing the youag men of the com
munity into proper ihanneHwof com
munity endeavor. The establi.hint of
Junior Chamber of Com mere nr
division of the alder body to work with
along co-operative lines, was mt.
gested.
The business mea of h it
planning a visit thii afternoon to Gar
ner waerc the "know-your-neirfibor"
message will be imparted. Following
thia there will be a ball game. , "

the health work of the country hi dis
tributed between the Dcpartmeats of
the Treasury, the Interior, Commerce,

ordination more overlapping ia fore
shadowed ia pending legislation. A
Jefinite program looking to thia end
ill be perfected at the aext meeting
of the executive committee which will
probably be held at the October meet
lag of the American public Health As
sociation.
The committee also considered, dur
ing the Chicago meeting, a proposal
from the American Bed Cross which
contemplates the peace program of this
organization. The Bed Cross hai
adopted public health work aa its l
fort, now that peace haa beea aasured.
and the health officials will, withia the
next month, have mapped out a defl
alte plaa for dovetailing the work of
the Bed Croat with that of the various
health agencies, including the Ameri
can aad the Southern Public Health
Association and the American Associa

THE B&. HAIDWABE MEN
CHURCH
There is one community in South'
Caroliaa, so it is said, that has such
reverence for the Lord's Day that
they won't say "Billy Sunday." They
call him "William Sabbath."
If we had more reverence for tht
Lord's day we would have a greater
store of Spiritual energy to run us
through the next six days. -
The nun who uses the Sabbath
to sleep, to loaf around the house, to
read secular papers and magazines,
to' joy ride, is impoverishing his soul.
Such a man some day will awaken
to the fact that he has no longer an
interest in Spiritual things. -
That he has lost love for God and
man, that there is no real sympathy
for those about him. v
' G to church, hear God's word,
get the cob webs of earth brushed
from your brain, and give yourself to
Spiritual thoughts.

you will return to your business
