President Charles . Jaom of toe local Typographical Union rasterda' issued "a 'statement denying; that the forty-foor hoar week or forty roar hoars pay means an increase la the art of printing. The only development in the situa tion here following the walk-out of anion compositors, pressmen and binders nearly two weeks ago and the subsequent declaration of "open ahop" by the employing printers, was the pub lication of the Bibieal Beeorder, which did not appear last week on aeeouat of the strike. This week saffcient men were gotten together by the Mutual Publishing Company and the Com mercial Printing Company to iaaua the Jtecordor, The employing printers yesterday de elared that the situation was daily growing brighter from their standpoint aad that their force has been made np now to approximately fifty per cent of normal. PrasUcnt J.v' Statement . President Jones' statement follow i "The members of the Baleigh Union were amused at the story supposed to seat out from Chicago Wednesday dealing with the strike throughout the country. As a matter of fact, there are less than seven thousand printers on suit in the United Bt&tes aad Can ada out of a membership of 90.000, In Chicago en May 3 there were three thousand men and women on strike of Baleirt. "A sample of tha misin formation being disseminated relative to the strike situation ia Baleigh is the following from this week's issue of Charty and Children! ' "The Baleigh printshops are stand ing pat on' the) refusal to accede to the unreasonable demands of the print ers, except the small establishment known as Mitchell's.' There are eight commercial print ing establishments in Baleigh, three of which are now working the 44-hour week basis; and 'the email establish ment known as Mitchell's' is today taming out fifty times as mueh print ing as all the 'stead pat' so-called opes shops combined. The printers are Arm in their de termination and are in position to hold out until a satisfactory settlement reached. ANGORA CAT BRINGS TWO WOMEN INTO C0UR Both Had Lost feline and Each Claimed One That Strayed Into Yard Four days later, on May 6th, all of inem return M to work on the 44-hour basis. In Charlotte, this State, there are aly two mea out. ''Almost hourly the shops are signing np ail over me country, so that it will be only a short tin e before there will be only a few hundred men affected iBB men are only asking lor an eight-hour day with Saturday half holi daya reduction of four hours a week working time, and a corresponding; re daetion in wages. The hour rate is not increased a penny. The result is more mea are employed and at not one cent s ineresse m cost. Nat CondaelTe to Health ."Krery man familiar with the print ing industry Knows that it Is not con ducive to health to work at the busi ness; that the organization's homos for the tubercular sre now full hundreds suffering from lead poisoifing that tho printer's life is unduly short. Tin 44 hour work week offers the worker nine years more of life here. "One of the most prominent physi cians of Bnlrlgh made this statement to a business man on Wednesday i '' 'As I came down the street I passed a Cumber of men in a group, and I knew from the conversation I overheard that they were printers. I paused and looked them over critically; aad I say til you tfiere was not a healt! man in the group.' 'The Saturday half holiday gives him a chance to mingle more with his fellows,-a few more hours with hia family, aad it cannot cost the employers a pen ny more to grant tMa privilege. They should grant it gladl.'; and as the buy ing public, and fair-minded citirena re alize the true conditions they fail to nnderstand the employers' position. "We utterly fail to see any ground left for them to atand upon, unless it is their desire to break up organised la - bor, destroy the organizations' homes for the aged, their hospitals, their pen sions for the sged worker, their pen sions for the helpless, their insursnce for the widow and orphan. Good Citlaens "The Baleigh printers sre good citl aens, have been contented, loyal work ers admitted by the proprietors them selves so that in the language of sev eral of the most prominent citisens of Baleigh: What in the world do the pro prietors want, anyway t Can see no earthly reason why they rhould not sign up." "After an existence of about siity two yeors as an organisation, antedat ing the formation of the International Union, Baleigh printers are experienc ing their first strike. "The strike breaker is a stranger In these parts, snd it is not to be won dered at that the employers have not been able to secure a sufficient number of them to set their machinery in motion. "The orders for printing taken and sent to other towns to be executed ran in no way Benefit the businesa interests Charlotte, May 13. An Angora eat valued st a hundred or mora dollars brought two prominent women of the city, rs. J. B. Vsnness and Mrs. . P. Tingley into court today. Each had nn Angora, Mrs. Tingly's from Mew York, Mrs. Vanness's from Philadel phia. Each lost her eat, but one fonnd ita way into tba Vanneas yard and Mrs. Vanness thought it was her eat. Mrs. Tingly saw the eat and said It was here. The court was to decide the mat' tor and today was the day. Throngs of society women were at court but at the last minute Mrs. Vanness, who had given $100 replevin bond to keep the cat and give it to Mrs. Tingly, if the court ssid it rightfully belonged to her, relinquished claim rather than have suit, Francis Clarkson represented Mrs. Vanness and Col. T. L. Kirkpatrick Mrs. Tingly. ' FOUR ENLISTED MEN AT FORT SILL ARE KILLED Lawton, Ok la., May 13.

Scotland Neck, Mar 13. As evidence that the contractors for the now pav ing troject here are not at all sure but what the city bonds will be sold on Mny 17 when they are offered for sale tho second time is the fact that they now have a representative here looking over sitae for thair nlsnt.

MURPHEY CHILDREN GIVE EXCELLENT PERFORMANCE Program Given By Children Be. ' fore Tarent Teachers Association - ' With dramatis readings, songs, arith metis drills, history' Stories,' composi tions, plays aad various school projects the children' of "Mn'rphey "Bcnool' enter tained their parents at the meeting pf the Psrent-Tsaehers Association Friday afternoon the last meeting of ths year The program, which was planned by Miss Emma Conn, principal of the school and her teachers, waa a very remarkable performance, many of ths mothers be ing amaaed at what their own children eculd do. The election of officers featured the business meeting, Mrs. B. N. Bimms be ing unanimously chosen president for the coming year. " Other officers sleeted were: Mrs. J. O. Boomhour,, viee-presi dent: Mrs. C. J. Curry, recording sec retary : Mrs. James Cordon, correspond in secretary i Mrs. J. M. Moss, trees urer. As the grade roll waa called by the secretary, Mrs. A. T. Allen, the mothers stood up. With sixteen mothers present. Grade IB, Miss Eldridge, teacher, earried off the honors, and will wave the Murphey School flag during the month of May. In the absence of Mrs. W. T. Upahsw, president of ths Association, Mrs. Wes ton Bruner presided. Following the brief business session the tescbers took over the program and gave a very ex eellent exhibition of their daily routine work. From Miss Eldridge's first grsde the little tots dramatized wonderfully well one of their everyday stories, "Trading Babies." Dramatising stories festurcs the routine work of the first graders and they acted their part as unconsciously as if tbey were in their own room. The second number wss a song "ITp, Up in the 8ky," by a number of little girls from Miss Godfrey's grade, !!B, and very well rendered. Martha Annis Abernethy, a you'"'!! student in expression, recited Ths Goblins' 'II Get You," to tho delight o the audience. Heven or eight boys from Miss Lewis third irrnde hod an arithmetic drill with one of the girls ss leader. It was simi ti l-r.r everyday drills in arith mctic. An excellent number wns A Visit to the Capitol Square," by Miss Mm-hiiwr's grade, 4B, in which seven of Hi' children described the mono nnd statues in the Square, ex plaining why they had been erected. Two eompoaitions on "The Care of the Icetb, were read by a boy and girl from Miss Harrison's grsde, 5A. Both were excellent papers. A play, "The Edenton Tea Party," written and dramatized by members of Miaa Dowell s grade, CB, was one of the best fcaturca of the program. Every child in the room contributed to the play and took part in it. Even fifth graders have caught the spirit of com munal authorship. They named the play The Birth of Freedom" and it waa a splendid interprettion of the spirit of the Edenton Tea Party days. In quaint costumes the little girls gathered to gether, discussed substitutes for the English beverage and passed indignant resolutions pledging themselves to drink no more of it. The boys in the grade shouldered their guns and joined their re-intent. The play was very cleverly acted and the little girls gave their luuiters a number of points ia enter t iiuinir their friends. The ''Edenton Tea Party" as interpreted by the fifth grade children waa a distinct success. J"Who's Who in Grade 8B," Mist John ston teacher, gavs ths names of the children who had won distinction oa account of good scholarship and deport ment.

The parents expressed great appreciation of the . teachers' efforts in putting on such a splendid program the best of the year. MRS. BERGDOLL TELLS OF BURYING POT OF GOLD Washington, May 13 Emma C.

REDUCE ARMAMENTS AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE Wayne Council of Social Agen-I cies Adopts Eeiolntion to Be Sent to President ' '. CHURCH EXGSDS At a publie meeting held ia Golda- boro recently under tbs auspices of the Wayne County Council of Social Agen cies for the consideration of various j phases of social welfare, the subject of reduction of national armament was in troduced and a resolution in favor of I reduction adopted. In view of the fact that modern war fare mobilizes the entire human and aconomie resources of nation, 'taking toll of combatants and non-combatants alike, that eighty per cent of our Fed eral appropriations are made to pay for wars psst or future, that the race for mill tary and Bars! supremacy among the nations places upoa them an economic burden that in soma eases is almost in- supportable and in all cases retards progress in civil lifs. and because pru dence forbids as to disarm alone, it was "resolved that we urge upon the President and Congress that they in itiate a raovoment to secure co-operation with other governments for the re duction of armaments at the earliest possible time." It waa voted that copies of this resolution be sent to the President of the United States and to our Senators and Congressmen. Intense light from the sun in Persia ia the cause of mueh blindness.
