For Bringing About Marked
Reductions
(By Associated Press) ' . .
WASHINGTON, May 21. The
wave of pricet" reductions : in wear
ing apparel which has spread to
every important city is due largely
to the public's withdrawal from the
market and to the investigation con
ducted by the Department of Justice
In, the opinion of Assistant Attorney
General Garvan, who while he said
he did not believe the departmeut "de
served too much of the credit Mr.
Garvan refused to endorse claims of
some merchants that they were ac
tuated wholly by patriotic motives.
"That stuff is purest buncombe"
Mr. Garvan said. "There are three
things responsible for this -. clamor
of merchants to get on the band
wagon of falling prices; the women
of the country have stopped buying
articles at extravagant prices; the
market has broken and a lot of. peo
ple say indictments' for profiteering
coming. , . . .
The action of the federal reserve
board toward -liquidating of long

MANAGERS LAYING
CLAIMS IN BEHALF
Approach of Democratic Pri
mary Brings Forth Many
Rumors '
(By Max Abernethy)
RALEIGH, May. 21. The ' ap
proach of the Democratic primary
on June 5 is the signal, for guberna
torial managers to , lay claims and
counter claims "in each of the ten
congressional districts, and while all
three managers are bubbling over
with optimism they have not reached
the point yet where they will issue a
written "statement of facts", claim.
It is easy .enough to persuade them
to talk there is always a chance
of being "misquoted' but neither
of the managers, has decided to put
his claims in black and white.
Little publicity would be given to
the claims of the campaign managers
anyway since nobody believes they
have any way of knowing. Conse
quently political prophets ' visiting
the capital are casting about in their
own way in an effort to learn which
way the ; tM ' s drifting. At this
time most) T- ""-ictjon3 are be
ing made JJ Tlx,r "-aii.r-
ently are
er than their conv
result. j This is true of suppovt
of all three candidates.
About the only statement on which
an agreement can be reached is thatl
a second primary wilF be necessary.
Morrison supporters "know'. their
candidate will be In the second
round and alsoJ know" that ' the
support of the eliminated candidate
will go into ' the ; Morrison column,
making his nomination -sure. Gard
ner and Page men figure the support
of the ousted candidate will go to
their candidate, and they show how
a victory is going to be the easiest
thing ever thought of. 1 . i .
; .. . h Gains Momentum V " :4
Candidate Gardner's little differ
ence with James F. Barrett ( concilia
tor for the State Federation Of- La
bor, gathered momentum yesterday
with the. issuance by- Mr. ' Gardner's
manager,' Crawford Biggs, of a state
ment . -denying 1 that ae' had ever
sought Mr.' Barrett's support in. this
primary. : The denial by Mr.' Gard-
reer-4s- oi-,a statement maqe oyr m r.
Barrett to an address ' here" Tuesday
in which he.ftald that. ;tftnfi 'week a
ago Mr. Gardner visited his office in!
. a
Asheville and solicited ' Mr. : Barrett's
support in this primary.' .
Mr. Biggs stated mat -he had re
ceived a message from Mr. Gardner
who authorized him' to deny Mr.
Barrett's statement and to say , that
there 'was no truth whatever in ik
The Statement:
"The only time Mr. Gardner was
ever in Mr. Barrett's office was near
ly a year ago, during the summer of
1919, and he went there then with a
friend for the - purpose of showing
Mr. Barrett that the report of the
legislative committee of the State
Federation of Labor, relating to the
child labor bill, did him a great in
justice. Knowing that Mr. Barrett
was the editor of a labor paper, he
laid the facts In connection with this
matter , before Mr. Barrett in the
hope that he would correct the mis-
statements contained in that report.
"This' was the sole purpose of his
visit and neither on that: occasion
nor at any other time did he solicit
Mr. Barrett's support ;- that was the
first and only time he was .ever in
Mr. Barrett's ofiice or ever saw Mr.
Barrett in Asheville." '" v A
Merely a Poor' Joke
Yesterday's story out of Washing
ton to the leff ect that there was a
movement on foot to abolish the
State Corporation Commission and
in its stead establish an office to be
known as Tax Commissioner, gave
Chairman W.- T. Lee and Judge
George P- Pell, of the commission,
no cause to become alarmed. They
looked on the matter as a. joke, if
a poor one. ;"
In the opinion of a number , of
capital city folks Governor Bickett
will not include any such action in
his call to the General Assembly.
As far as the governor is concerned
all he wants is to get tax reforms
brought about, that is the main
reason for the special session in
July. That he would inject into the
special session or encourage the in
jection by others of a measure tam
pering with the being of the State
Corporation Commission is consid
ered foolish.
Should the matter be brought up
by outside influence and the gen -
eral belief here is that Raleigh and
not Washington is the starting point
Governor Bickett would have noth
ing whatever to do with it one way
or the other. f
Judge Pell recalls tha this is the
third time in six years that "dis
gruntled shippers have launched an
attack on the Corporation Commis
sion." It is admitted that the com
mission has been able to do little
more than act in an intermed'ary
capactiy with reference to the fight
for a reduction of freight rates dur
ing the time the railroads were un
der government- control, but it is
said for the commission that it 'has
done about everything possible to
show the officials that this state has
been discriminated against.
