there ii a call for a aqaare deal. Mr,

riven the appointment bated npon an
examination two yeara ago that ia out

prominent Bepubliean of Andrews,
which reads:
"As a sauare deal to all people con

Another Fight at Plnehnrst
On top of the injustice of the An
drews appointment another case of
working the postoffiee appointments al
ways to take care of Bcpublican ap
pljcanta even with a humbug civil ser
vice business is that at Pinehurst, the
name of Henry B. Vroom, a Republi
can, having been sent to the Senate
for postmaster there. In he examina
tion recently held Mr. Vrswn stood
second on the list, while A. T. Currie,
a Democrat, stood first. Reports from
Pinehurst are that at taut 85 per eent
of the patrons of the offices are for
Mr. Currie, and the large numbers of
'Bepublicans who make Pinehurst head
quarters during the winter have en
dorsed him, another endorsement bing
that of Leonard Tufts, the owner of
Tiachnrst At e request of Senator
Simmons the nomination of Mr. Vroom
la being held np in the Senate so that
there may be aa iavestigatioa into this
mater also. Senator Simmons made
the request In behalf of Congressman
Hammer, who desires to investigate the
matter the offie being in his district.
But as both Mr. Jarrett and Mr.
Vroom are Republicans the reason why
"of the throwing overboard of consider
stion for civil service" examinations
gives the answer.
Democrats Keep Vp right
Pacing a Republican strength in ths
Senate which it eanrbt overcome in
direct votes the Democrats of that body
are nevertheless making every effort to
aeenre legislation which will serve all
the people. And facing, too, the ratifi
cation of a separate peace with Ger
many, they are setting themselves to
work as individnala to secure such
amendments and reservations at may
help to take from the Harding treaty
of Berlin tha materialistic spirit which
is part of its warp and wool. They are
now studying the reservations offered
by Senator Lodge and other Republi
cans at trie time the Versailles treaty
and the League of Nations were before
the Senate and weighing the matter of
how some of these may fit into the pre
seat day treaty. - They purpose to let
the country know of the meaning of
the treay with Germany, a separate
treaty that outrages the feeling of
Americans who feel that w have de
serted the very principles for which
Aatreieaas sacrificed their lives oa the
battlefields of Prance.
The tax bill, which the Bcpublican
majority of the Senate finance commit
tee Is now endeavoring to shove through
the Senate without tha proper amount
of discussion., ts not going to be ac

The minority has beta doing some figur

Nineteen Competing Roads
.. Proposed By Commission
Washington, Sept 28. A tentative
plan for consolidation ' of all major
American railroads into nineteen great
competing systems was announced today
by the Interstate Commerce Commis
aioa. ' , .
Tha proposed' combination, authorised
under the transportation act ia designed
to remove weakness aad in -tha national
railroad system shown by the operation
ef the rata miking power ef tha com
mission, and to effect readjustment of
terminal and other subsidiary facilities
with resultant economy in operation and
delivery of shipments.
Weak lines which have shown their in
ability to "live" under rata schedules
profitable to stronger roads, would un
der the plan, be attached to systems
mora advantageously situated, but it
was Announced that in every ease the
effort was made to maintain tha iden
tity of existing strong systems.
Hearings will be called, toon by the
commission for the purpose Of discuss
ing the proposed consolidations. Since,

accommodations for 500 poplU.
1. Rebuild Wiley school on new lo.

Raleigh township has resched th
erisis in the problem of housing its
schools, and within the next few months
will be called upon to- any whether or
not money will be made available for
the construction of such buildings as are
needed to provide for the adequate ae- j
commodation of the 4,500 children now
enrolled and taught in buildings having
a normal capacity for 3,000.
Decisive steps toward the answer to
the problem were taken yesterday after
noon when the Kalcigh Township school
committee adopted and endorsed the re
port of a special committee named to
investigate the needs of the school.
Thompson school rebuilt, Wiley school
rebuilt, a new high school for a thous
and pupils in a new location, and new
buildings for th,e negroes, were recom
mended. Employ Architect
With this program to work by, the
committee authorized the employment of
an architect to determine definitely how
much money will be needed to construct
the buildings recommended in the re
port. This survey will be completed
within the next few weeks, end the com
mittee will then call an election upon a
bond issue sufficient to cover the ccst
of construction. Tentative estimates
place the cost st three quarters of a mil
lion dollars.
Schoblhouset in Baleigh are congested
beyond any hope of relief by any mens
ures other than rebuilding from tho
ground up, snd at least two of the build
ing now in use are veritable flretraps,
according to the report submitted by
the committee named to survey the sit
uation. Altogether the buildings in use
are accommodating 60 per cent moro
children than ought to be put into them,
it is declared.
Thompson and Wiley First
Thompson and Wiley schools are tho
first that ought to be torn down and
built anew, says the report. Both are
wooden buildings, dangerous to the lives
of the hundreds of children taught
there, and should be replteed by fire
proof structures of larger capacity. The
High School, built for a maximum of 300
pupils, is accommodating 610, and ought
to be discarded and a new building
erected on another location. Additions
should be msde to the Lewis school,
and to the schools at Caraleigh and Pilot
Mills.
Superintendent 8. B. Underwood, sub
mitting his first report to the board
since the opening of the fall term, says
that the schools have begun the year's
work favorably, except for the over
crowded conditions in every building.
The total enrollment for the year is
4,6Sn against ,loS last year, an increase
of 492 for the year. The largest in
crease is in the High School, with 113
more pupils than were enrolled during
the whole of last year.
Committee Report
The report of the special committee,
composed of Mayor T. B. Kldridge, 8
Wa.de Marr, snd Superintendent 8. B.
Underwood, which was adopted as itho
basis for . rebuilding the city's school
system, follows:
The committee appointed at the last
meeting of the school com mitts for the
purpose of making's preliminary survey
of the building needs of the Baleigh
schools has given aa much time aa pos
sible to wis study and expect to eon
tinne a careful 'investigation of the
situation. .We take it. that it,ia.n
agreed fact that the time has come
when a definite building program for
the Baleigh schools must be Inaugu
rated. "It will be absolutely Impossible
to 'take care of next year's enrollment
with tha present building facilities.
Even with tha temporary rooms which
were sdded daring tha summer, the
(Centlaned aa Tags lear) '
which hae not been given tha approval
of tha individual lines affected as vail
aa that of tha commission, it waa ex
pected that discussion would be pro
longed and that a number of mbdlflea
tioas from tha plan mad publie today
would be augeste. '
'Ws he tought to minimise dis
memberment of existing -lines and sys
tems," the commission's announcement
said. Thia tentative plan ia put for
ward in order to elicit a full record
upon which the plan ultimately adopted
can rest, and without prejudgment.".
In tha main, the plan follows the line
of consolidations worked out under tha
direction of the Interstate Commerce
Commission by Prof. William Z. Bipley,
of Harvard College, but soma changes
were made and alternatives proposed.
Professor P.ipley's report issued with
the eommisssion plan, suggested that the
consolidations, if decided upon, could
be brought about without sale of prop
erties, through the exchange of securi
ties between the corporations partiel
pating in mergers.
CLEAR DECKS FOR
Consideration of Contested
Features of Tax Revision
Bill Will Start Today
Washington, Sept 28. The way was
cleared today in the Senate for the fight
over the Bcpublican tax revision bill.
Reading of the measure for approval of
uncontested committee amendments, to
the House bill wss completed and con
sideration of the contested features will

These include the sections dealing
with income taxes, individual snd cor
poration, profits taxes, transportation
levies, excise and soft drink levies and
all other levies changed by the commit
tee ss well as with estate taxes and
levies on admissions and dues which
were not altered by the committee.
The attack on the transportation taxes
was opened today by Senator McCary, of
Oregon,- Bepobliean member oftthe
ag); cultural "bloc" who offered an
amendment to strike out the levies on
freight, passenger, Pullman, and express.
Senator King, Democrat, Utah, said be
would propose an amendment to elimi
nate also the tax on telegraph and tele
phone, which was unchanged by the
committee.
Senstor Simmons, of North Carolina,
and other Democratie members ef the
finance committee, completed during the
day a series of amendments which they
plan to offer and which, if adopted,
would virtually rewrite the bill. It it
understood that their principal feature
is the raising of rates oa corporations
and the wealthy to baximnms higher
than those proposed by the finance com
mittee.
Senator Smoot, of Utah, a Bcpublican
committee member, gave notice that he
hoped to have his manufacturers' sales
tax plan ready to offer tomorrow aad
that he probably woum apeak on it next
Monday. He said he was undecided
whether he would offer an -entirely new
bill or propose amendments to the exist
ing bill.
During the reading of the bill today,
the Senate agrcd to the existing tobacco
taxes and most of the special and stamp
tsxes imposed by the present law
and unaltered by the committee
and also to a number of administrative
provisions. These provisions included
those designed to speed up final settle
ment of tat claims, establishing n tax
simplification bosrd and to prevent nn
necessary examinations or investigations
of tax-payers books of account.
Other sections sgreed upon without
contest included one authorizing the see
retary of the Treasury Jo issue an ad
ditional $500,000,000 in short term notes
to facilitate the funding of Victory
notes and certificates of indebtedness,
LIBERTY BONDS AGAIN
DOMINATE THE MARKET
New Tork, Sept. 28. Trading in Lib
erty issues and particularly in Victory
notes, again dominated the bond market
today. Dealings approximated $12,000,
000 or almost three-quarters of the
day's total operation on the stock ex
change. Heavy transactions at private
sales also were reported.
Most of the Liberties closed at
trifling losses, but Victor 4 3 4s re
peated their recent maximum of 99.50
on salea, aggregating 5f8O0,0O0 par
value.
Included in this total were Individ
ual lots ranging from small amounts to
1200,000, 1500,000 and one block of 1,
100,000 which sold at P9.4S. This is the
largest tingle transaction since the re
cent upward movement .
Private dealers ia United States
bonds claimed that much of the re
newed demand for these securities
earns from investors of moderate mease.
The buying power, they said, wss broad
ening to points in New England and
the Middle West.

New Committee Naased.
Announcement of the formation of a
new committee, on community, civic and
emergency relief measures, to recom
mend tha best forms of community or
ganizations to carry out the recomeada-
tions for decreasing unemployment was
made today by the conference. This
was said to have developed froa -indications
developing in the deliberations
of the conference that the immediate
problem of finding work for the idle
was for the individual communities to
handle. The suggestion, it is under
stood, hae also been made that local
committees should be formed in the
cities snd different sections of the
country to administer the recommenda
tions adopted by the conference.
Public- hearings today were devoted
to the question of employment service
and the relative merits of publie and
private agencies. The majority of the
witnesses favored the use of public
agencies, either municipal, atate or Fed
eral in the distribution of work. Urbain
Ledoux, who recently conducted labor
auctions on Boston common, strongly
endorsed the establishment of Federal
employment agoueics throughout the
country.
Organized labor, according to William
C. Roberts, of tha American Federation
of Labor, waa emphatically in favor of
a Federal employment service absolutely
neutral in labor disputes. Mr. 8. J
Atwood, of the Metropolitan Association
of Employment Agencies of New York
declared that the private agencies had
the best machinery for handling the
situation and criticised the Federal serv
ice as a failure during the war. She
charged walking delegates of organized
labor with attempting to graft through
private agencies and said she hsd 200
chances for graft in the past year
Mrs. Atwood informed the committee
that the answer to the unemployment
situation was to get work going.
Call For Public Improvement.
The publie works committee was said
to have practically completed a report
calling upon states snd municipalities
to proceed immediately upon their pro
jects whether appropriations were ready
or not. Hearings are to be held by this
committee tomorrow to develop tug
gestions for the speeding up of work
by tha municipalities.
Secretary of Labor Davis appeared
today before the committee oa ship
ping and was said to have discussed
ths immigration question is the light
of the employment problem throughout
the country.

To Have Precipitated Move-

Waahlngton, Sept. 28. By the Asso
ciated Press.) A movement to eurtsll
Senatorial privileges of practically un
limited debate reached such propor
tions today, that an unofficial commit-
tea of Bepubliean Senators went to the
White House and conferred on the
question with President Harding.
While ths proposed rule haa not yet
been drawn np, it waa understood that
tho plan contemplated a change in ths
Sonate rules so that cloture would be
invoked by a mere majority vote. In
stead of by the two-thirds vote now
required. After invocation of the rule,
each Senator's time for debate would
be limited to one hour, it waa said.

cana last night. The "charter members"
comprise mostly Republicans of ths
younger group including however, Sen
ators from both Eastern and Western
States.
Obstruction of the anti-beer bill re
cently in the Senate was said to have
been the immediate cause of the new

other methods of protracting debate

"The affair was the culmination at

An orgy unrepressed by the manage

our big cities.
"I had really hoped that thia court
would be the avenue for fall and tots

the opportunity to ascertain this widely
