THIS CHARLOTTE NEWS, CHARLOTTE, N..C, WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON, AUGUST 16, 1922. SOUTHERN WILL FILL VACANCIES Harrison Says System Will Replace Strikers, as Peace Move Fails. Washington, Aug. 16 llenry W. Mil ler, vice president of Southern Railway, returned here today after a tour of in .sepction and declared that no defective equipment or any kind was being used on the lines of the Southern and that none would be. He said considerable number of new men had already been .employed to take the plaoe of strikers, and it is understood that officials of the road will confer today with a number of labor contractors with view to the employment of men on a large scale. HARRISON OUTLINES SOUTHERN'S POLICY Washington. Aug. 16. The Southern railway, which until this week had made no efforts to combat the shop men's strike, has announced through its president, Fairfax Harrison, that it would employ any help available to keep trains in operation. Mr. Harrison in a formal statement said that the Southern had made every effort to settle with its men. even "to the extent of offering the terms that they had previously agreed to accept," and without result, and that "if it means war to run the Southern rail ,way, then let ua have it now not later." Officials f the company supplement ed Mr. Harrison's statement only to the extent of pointing out that conferences between the railroad management and the strikers were held last week with- . out result and that the only course left Dpen to the company was to employ such workers as could be obtained. The action of the Southern was gen erally regarded as significant in that X had heretofore made on effort to fill the places of the shopmen who went . on strike and in that it, not being a member of the Association of Railway Executives, had not participated in the . two meetings held by that organization in New York to consider strike settle ment porposals put forward by Presi dent Harding. c The statement issued by Mr. Harri- . son said: "Every effort has been made so to operate our property that our man could honorably return to work. Every ; effort has been made to settle with . our men. We have gone to the extent of offering the terms that they had previously agreed to accept. We have thus held out every reasonable induce ment, without result. "W must now turn to employing others, for the road must be run; we must give those we employ protection. for it may be that those we have up . to this time protected by keeping their . jobs open may now turn against us, even to an attempt to prevent others ; from working. "Call is now being made upon every employe, upon every patron of thi3 company, and upon every citizen along its lines, to rally to the support of the road that has served you and protect your own interest in the maintenance or Transportation. "With your help we can run th-r road, and we pledge all the resources of the company to that end. If it - means war to run the Southern rail ; way, then let us have it now not later." REALTORS DINED AT MERRY PARTY Insurance Exchange of City Joined Real Estate Men at Event. North Carolina realtors, who have or ganized into a State association, will ask the next Legislature to place real estate mortgages in a separate class from other paper of the kind at a lower rate of taxation, this in order to en courage home-owning which the real tors consider makes for good citizen ship. This was one of the definite effects of the meeting and joint dinner of the Charlotte Real Estate Board and the Charlotte Insurance Exchange Tues day night at the Myers Park Country Club, an event attended by about 100 realty and insurance men of the city. Another objective of the North Caro lina Real Estate Board, according to W. G. Jerome, of Winston-Salem, pres- TOO MUCH IN THE EASTERN SECTION Raleigh, Aug. 16. Much cloudiness prevailed during the week with com- paratively little sunshine and the-e was entirely too much rain for crops .n the eastern portion of the State, especially In the coastal plain. On I he Dther hand, rain occurred about as needed 'in most of the western North Carolina. Cotton made poor progross In the coastal plain where it fruited poorly in many localities while boll are increasing in tne southwest: slsewhere progress cf the crop was !airly good. Corn improved in the cen tral and western counties, but rain in terfered with saving hay, and other croage, and curing tobacco which is nearly completed in the eastern sec tion. Some fall plowing is under way in the west. Mountain grapes are sood with large shipments in progress from the Tryon section. The peach rop is about gathered. Pastures are good in nearly all parts of the State. fication of North Carolina highways. by encouraging property owners and county and city organizations to plant trees along permanent highways and by such other means as seem feasible and proper. M-Alister Carson, secretary-treasurer of tate association of insurance a; ' briefly of the aims of that bo. .tones, representing the Chii.. .oaring House, C. H. Gover, president of the Charlotte Bar Associa tion, and Charles W. Parker, president of the Charlotte Merchants association also spoke briefly on various topics. The toastmaster for the occasion was Dr. W. H. Fraser, president of Queens College who furnished much of the amusement of the evening. E. D. Shelby led in the singing and Arthur Nord 'presided at the piano. One of the hu morous events of the evening was a make-believe exchange of jests between E. L. Keesler, the building and loan ex pert, and Odom Alexander, the real es tate man. who was so cleverly done that many of those present did not know until the program was over of the bar until the program was over that it was jest instead of reality. C. H. Gover of the bar association lauded the motives of the realty and insurance men in seeking to raise their respective vocations into the dignity of a profession where ethical practices as prevail in the most rigid terms. E. E. Jones said the bankers would have to go out of business if it were not for the real estate and insurance men who promote home-building, and thus create more merchandizing, more bus iness of every kind and more banking. Mr. Parker said the realty and in surance men were factors in city ex pansion and home-building just as the merchants were factors in the same field by importation and selling of goods Service to the public, service to them selves . and co-operation with the com panies they represent are three main purposes for which insurance men are organized, according to McAlister Car son, who said the object of the organiza tion is to elevate the profession to a higher plane. W. D. Wilkinson, president of the Charlotte Insurance Exchange and F. E. Harlan, president of the Charlotte Real Estate Board, both spoke briefly as did Walter Lambeth, chairman of the program committee. W. G. Jerome, principal speaker of the evening, complimented the great development of the residential section of ethics based on the golden" rule, of Charlotte. The realtors have a code Mr. Jerome said and try to live up to the cqe. He said the realtors seek to promo the welfare of their respective cities by encouraging the building and owning of homes. One of the most use ful features of the organization, he who are not guided by ethical prin ples and who can be brought to terms said, is to keep a watch on those dealers where there is an organization like a realty board. KILGORE COMES TO FARMBUREAU Campaign Here Will Be Stimulated, It is Thought, by His Presence The campaign to sign up cotton grow ers of Mecklenburg county to sell their cotton through the medium of the Co operative Cotton Marketing Association which has been on in the South for the past two year, will be continued here this summer, according to Kope Elias. farm demonstration agent, who said Wednesday that Dr. B. W. Kilgore would be invited here either for next Saturotay or some date next week to make an address relative to the cam paign and initiate it anew on a large scale. The decision as to when Dr. Kilgore will be here depends on a further con ference Wednesday afternoon between Mr. Elias and other agents in the coun ty who are connected with the coop- City News Told In Tabloid Form ident of the State board, is the beautt-L,ratiVe cotton marketing association as it has been organized so far in the county. Dr. Kilgore has been one ' of the champions of the cooperative cot tion marketing plan since its. inaugura tion and has worked tirelessly to get "Corth Carolina cotton grqwers to sign up pledging themselves to market their cotton through this agency. In many Southern states the cotton growers have pledged far moreNthan the minumum number of bales to be sold through the co-operative marketing association. North Carolina's original 'quota was 200,000 bales but this was overpledged to the extent of more than 50,000 bales up to last year. The ob ject of the present campaign, which is to put on over the entire cotton belt is to extend the field of operations of the association. In other states the quota was exceeded in more spectacular fash ion than in North Carolina. Texas and other Southern states far exceeded their quota and was reported to be still pledg ing their support. The proposal to undertake a cam paign in this county to bring cotton growers into the association is of more than passing interest because of the an nouncement from Memphis a few days ago that the Cotton Growers Exchange is to make Charlotte one of its buying points, with a branch office of the Na tional organization, for acquiring and shipping cotton direct to European and domestic buyers. J. C. Bate will leave Wednesday night for an extended stay in Atlantic City and New York. - There will be adance given in the ball-room of the New Central hotel Fri day evening, between the hours of 9 and 12. Music will be furnished by the Southern Melody sextette. W. M. Kincaid, of Salisbury, was fined $50 and cost by Judge Wade H. Williams in police court Wednesday morning for operating an automobile while under the influence of whiskey. Th Highway garage located near the baseball park and owned by R. E. Jennings, was broken into Wednesday morning about 1 o'clock and between $50 and $75 worth of inner tubes and blowout patches stolen, .according to Mr. Jennings. Mr. Jennings reported the matter to the v police station. United States Deputy Marshal M. C. Coin arrested Peter Wright, a well known citizen of Cleveland county, a few days ago on a Warrant charging him with violation of the prohibition law. The defendant was held for the October term of Federal Court on a charge of handling liquor. CRUSHED STONE RUNNING SHORT Street . Contractors . Face With Necessity of Cur tailing Their Work. About three carloads of crushed stone remain at the plant of Blythe Brothers, contractors, who have the conJra6t for the building of city streets. The railway strike has so affected the movement of building materials that it is now almost impossible to get crushed stone according to Jack Blythe of Blythe Brothers. Unless the local supply is replenished shortly, suspension or Curtailment of street building operations will have to come, he says. The normal consumption of the con tracting company is 10 carloads of crushed stone a day and in spite of the fact that small quantities of stone can be secured locally there is no hope of getting enough -to continue the work full blast. The Interstate . Commerce Commis sion has issued an order prohibiting the use of open-topped railway cars for uses other than the handling of coal. ,Of course, a coal car, which has been des patched bearing coal may be sent back wit h a. cn rcn rt ttnna anrl vwb- Irwtt Fire caused by heat from an elec- iMr. Blythe says that there is only 'quar- COUNTY PUPILS IN CITYSCH00L New Arrangement Goes Into Effect With. Open ing of Fall Term. NEW TRAFFIC COPS ARE. BEING ADDED ODELL KING TAKEN ON LIQUOR CHARGE Odell King, well-known farmer of the county, living on the Beatty's Ford road near Charlotte, was arrested at Rock Springs camp ground in Lincoln county Sunday, according to informa tion received at the sheriff's office here. Mr. King was released on a bond ot $100, it is said, after he had been ar rested by an officer on or near the camp meeting ground and a qunrt of whiskey found on him. Mr. King is under indictment in this county for alleged reckless - driving while under the influence of liquor on the Dowd road some weeks ago when he ran down a negro who was riding a bicycle on the highway. The negro has brought suit against him for sev eral thousand dollars, alleging perroti nent injury. SOUTHERN CALLS IN PASSES OF SHOPMEN Asheville, Aug. 16. All annual pass es, trip transportation and property of the Southern Railroad, in the hands of striking shopmen, has- been "called in" I oy xi. vv. Aiuier, vice president in charge of operation, it was learned lere last night. Mayor Thinks City Needs a Great Many More. Traffic forces of the police depart ment are being re-enforced with the employment of men to take the places of those who, within the. last three or lour months, have quit the service. Four men have just been added to the traffic squad and Walter B. Orr, police chief, is attempting to get the force back to normal in order to handle the city's ever increasing traffic problem. For one reason or another, aiaces left vacated in the last few months were not filled, but now the city commis sioners are swearing in new officers and in one instance transferrins- nffinora from one squad to another. Mayor Walker in discussing the traf fic question Wednesday morning, said that the city really needs 12 or 15 addi tional officers to assist in the handling of traffic. , It is the major's opinion that officers can well be stationed at busy street cor nera such as Church and Trade, College and Trade, Tryon and Fifth to direct traffic in "go and stop" fashion. The traffic is becoming so heavy that such a policy would tend to greatly improv ing the situation, he thinks. On the other hand, the city's rev enue will not warrant at present the employment or tne desired men. Mr Walker said that Charlotte gets along with the least number of policemen and firemen of any city in the State, in pro portion to population. With the employment of the new men bringing the force nearly to normal conditions will be remedied somewhat' says the mayor, who. adds that the po lice department is now erivine- rinso at tention to traffic. The couple married in an airplane were certainly high fliers.

It is indicated that the county has a host of children living near the city limits for which the county has made no adequate provision in the way of schools. It is exnlained bv pnimtv school officials that it has never been the policy of the rural school boards to build up schools right near the city limits for the reason that it was a sort of "twilight zone," some desiring to come into the city and not enough being- left to justify the maintenance of a rural school. A conference was held Wednesday morning between Superintendent Hard ing of the city schools and Superintend ent Matthews of the county schools, at "in wmcn tms issue was threshed through and an effort made on the part pt the city superintendent to ascertain what proportion of such children from the county would likely apply for admit tance in the city schools. Heretofore it has been customary for the city schools to allow rural chil dren to enter" here if they paid a nominal tuition charge, which varies with the graces entered. The nroblem however, became so acute and so wide spread throughout the State, where the same condition prevails surrounding other city centers, that Dr. Brooks, State Superintendent of Instruction, and other State educational forces, got together and had adopted a State-wide plan by wiicn rural children would be permitted to attend city schools free of charge for six months of the year. If they want to go longer than this, they will be forced to pay the city schools tuition charges. . The State officials took this sten. it is explained,-because the State is main taining free schools for six months of the year uniformly, both in cities and counties, and for that reason, it was held, it is a matter of no conse quence to the State whether a patron sends to a county or to a city school. Whichever is the most convenient will be selected. School children, living outside the city limits, nearer city schools than county schools, will t e allowed to attend city schools for six months without cost, it was agreed at the conference. The county board offered to pay the city board the difference between the cost of educating- that particular child and the amount the county board or dinarily pays. For each rhiM school spends $9.61 fore than is received in the regular allot ment of school funds from the county Under the new agreement the countv will pay $9.61 for each child living in me cuuniy wno attends the city schools. This will be paid on the basis of six months. Parents of the children will have to pay the regular city tuition rate for outside children the remaining three months of the regular nine-mcnth term. Children, who take advantage of the agreement, must live nearer 1 a city school han a county school and must receive a certificate from J. M. Mat thews, superintendent of county education. Mr. Matthews will not be prepared to issue certificates until Monday August trie motor, broke out in the Rogers Mattress Company's factory in How ell's Arcade, about 7:45 a. m. Wednes day.

Mr. Elliott will be 74 years of age August 20, the reunion usually being held on that date but, since it falls on Sunday this year, Saturday has been named. Mr. Elliott is the father of 17 children and has 37 grandchildren with seven great grandchildren living. - U. S. Deputy Marshal M. C. Coin went to Gastonia Monday nieht and arrested Jake Heffner, a young white man who has not yet attained his majority on a charge of forginjr a money order. It is charged that he raised a $,1 order to $40. The prisoner was given a hearing before United States Commissioner Morris and bound over to the Fall term of Federal Court here under a $1,000 bond. ry in this section where that modifica tion of the Interstate Commerce Com mission's order may be followed. That quarry is at Columbia, S. C, but it is hopelessly swamped with or ders and there is apparently no chance. ior nope oi renei irom tnat direction, says the contractor, who has asked for the filling of an order at the Columbia quarry every day. Mr. Blythe asserts that there are hundreds of opentopped cars Jammed at Spencer that cannot be moved because of the order o the Interstate Commerce Commission. The local contractor buys stone from a quarry near Salisbury but there is no way of getting the use of the idle cars at Spencer for the hauling or stone to Charlotte. The lack of stone, explains Mr Blythe is the main obstacle in the way or further work. Cement is being rap idly received. Cars wer received Tues day from the Lehigh1 alley in six days, which is the about the record time in handling freight from that point, says Mr. Blythe. J. J. Pittman, traveling representa tive of Rose Brothers, cotton brokers at 19 1-2 East Fourth street, whose automobile was struck by a passen ger train three miles west of Salisbury Tuesday afternoon, is getting along nicely at a hospital in Salisbury.

Tobacco markets for the sale of bright leaf tobacco at auction opened yesterday in all parts of eastern North Carolina with recipt3 comparatively light. Prices ranged from $17 to $25 per hundred pounds, an increase from $4 to $6 per hundred as compared with sales on the initial day last season. The offerings were in "hieh order? because of wet weather, this affecting prices to some extent. The quality was reported rather poor on some markets, the tobacco - being light in weight, but of good color chief ly oecause of heavy rains. At .Wilson, the largest leaf market in the world, a hal million pounds were sold at an average of from $24 to $25 per hundred. Greenville and Kinston sold nearly a half million each with prices from $20 to $25 per hundred. Rocky Mount, Goldsboro. Smithfield and Farmville reported light sales with prices from $17 to $22. Members of the Tobacco Growers Co-operative Marketing Association, held meetings at Goldsboro and Wil son. The co-operative warehouse will open the first of next week.

H. Vause, director. During July 584 persons were given employment through the local bureau, of whom 109 were skilled workers, eight domestics. 361 unskilled laborers, and 106 clerical and professional workers. Asheville gives Charlotte a close race for the lead, the Mountain City placing in me monin &sz. utners with number of placements are: Wilmington, 557-Winston-Salem, 364; Raleigh. 347; and Greensbiro, 200. The total placed throughout the state was 2,634. Of that number. 2, 349 were men and 285 women. Mr. Vause said that at present he' has more applications for work than de mands for workers in unskilled laborers, brick-layers and clerical workers. The large number of unemnloved nmnno- la borers and bricklayers, said the direc tor, is due to suspension of building op erations because of non-shipment of ma terials.

HARRELD URGES TARIFF 0N0IL Oklahoma Senator Charges Effort is Made to Monop olize Supply. Washington, Aug. 16. Tariff duties on crude petroleum and fuel oil were advocated today in the Senate by Sen ator Harreld Republican, Oklahoma as the only means of protecting the in dependent oil producers of the United States against what he described as a monopoly by .the Standard, E. L. Doheny and Royal Dutch Shell Oil Com panies. , . ., Renewing his charge of last August that the Standard, Doheny and Royal tshell Companies were seeking to mon opolize oil production in this Country, Senator Harreld said that since that time the Royal Dutch Shell had taken over the Union Oil Company of Dela ware, thus getting control of $75,000,000 worth of properties; that the Standard and Doheny companies had acquired the Tea Pot Dome, in Wyoming, and other valuable holdings in California, and that the Standard of Indiana had ac quired 99 per cent of the stock of the Mid West Refinery Company. The Oklahoma Senator also asserted that during the past year while oil prices were low "the monopolists did succeed in purchasing the holdings of a great many independent operators at practically forced sales and at a very small percentage of the value of such properties." . Charging that tho threa companies he named had a monopcly of produc tion of oil in Mexico: Mr. Harreld told the Senate it was their policy to charge all that the tariff would bear and thit consequently the price would not be affected by a tariff. He argued that on the other hand the tariff would bring to the Government a huge amount of revenue and at the some time pro tect the thousands of small independent producers in the United States.
