v London, May 4. —( A *) —Groat Bri
tain today felt tho grip of labor's l
might. At midnight tho million** of <
workers under i’ao aegis of tho trades 1
union congress quit their labors in 1
a struggle to enforce the coal miners’ i
stand against lower wages and in- i
creased hours.
By noon the streets of the capital
were a maelstrom of milling pedes
trians and crawling motor vehicles 4
with the unaffected workers striving
to get their places of business while
* in some places radical strike t*ympa- .
thizers sought to turn them back. ,
The narrow thoroughfares of the j
capital were incapable of aecommo- (

ami other points where traffic con
verges became so hopeless that pas- ,
sengers were forced to desert their
taxicabs and motor cars and make
their way to work on foot.
The government’s first news bulle
tin issued over the wireless this morn
ing was a notification from railway
information bureaus that the trans
port service for the supply of „ milk
Was working out acooifjjng to ached

Reports from the provinces were
meager owing to the restricted news
services, but eondit'ons similar to
those ill London obtained there.
Edinburgh with the aid of volun
teers maintained a skeleton service of
tram cars and busses and the two
evening newspapers continued to pub
lish.
In Manchester no trains are run
ning and except for the volunteer
service, the whole transport organi
zation of the city is dead.
The prineapnl Manchester stations
were picketed shortly after midnight
and no trains left for London. The
Manchester Gunrdian proposes to
give the people the news in a small
typewritten sheet.
While the tie-up of traffic contin
ues throughout the city and many ex
pressed apprehensions as to the out
come of the great struggle efforts were
continuing toward a settlement. The
general eonucil of the trades union
Congress met during the morning in
Eeeleston Square, and left shortly af
ter one o’clock for the House of Com

comiug before late afteruoogt. f
The executive committee of the min- 1
era federation was summoned to the
: House of Commons to participate, it is i
I believed, in a conference with the 1
I j trades union council.
I The beginning of the strike had a 1
dramatic setting in London Large
crowds had gathered about the parlla- 1
t ment houses and Whitehall, where 1
they whiled away their time singing 1
the “Red BW”
Big Ben boomed out twelve.
A man clinging to the railing of the
House of Parliament yelled hoarsely:
“Comrades, the hour has struck.”
Then the great mass of people be
gan to swirl and eddy into a proces
sion which started toward the West
End.
Near the Treasury the police seized
n red flag and there was a brief un
successful struggle to capture it. Then
the marchers passed through Trafal
gar Square to Regent street, and Pica
dilly to Hyde Park corner.
Finding the great park closed they
continued down the quiet back streets.
Suddenly at Eaton Square the po
lice escort turned and scattered the
marchers. Some of the men fell in
their flight, others were chased by the
bobb’es, and then the demonstration
broke up.
Strike Breakers Employed.

expectations.
House of Commons Affected by Strike

time in parliamentary memory, no or

sembled today. 'The printers joined !
the other workers in the general strike
and metnbers of the House were forc
ed to put their questions verbally.
When the questions were disposed of
the labor ami liberal leaders announc
ed that they would not today oppose
by prolonged debate tho budget reso
lution as they wanted to leave as
much time as_ possible for the more
urgent business relating to the strike.
THE COTTON MARKET
After Opening at Decline Market Held
Fairly Steady.—May Off to 18.62.
New York. May 4—(A*)—The un
settling influence of the British labor
situation was reflected in a restrict
ing volume of business rather than by
any price movement of importance, in
the cotton market early today. Ca
bles were lower than due, but the de
cline in Liverpool was comparatively
moderate.
After opening steady at unchanged
prices to a decline of 3 points, the
market held fairly steady. May sold
off to 18.62 and there was soattei-ed
liquidation due to tile circulation of n
few additional notices. There also
may have been n little selling of late
deliveries on favorable early view of
the weather map. On the whole the
market showed no particular tenden
cy during the first hour, prices ruling
about 2 to 4 points net lower.

before the executive committee of the i
American Bankers Association which I
went into business sessions here to-1

HOUSE STILL WORKING
ON FARM RELIEF BILL
. Leaders Not Able to Predict What
Will Be the Outcome.
Washington, May 4.—(JP)—Con
' fronted with three widely divergent
- bills, the House today finally took up
the task of evolving farm relief leg
islation with lenders themselves un
able to predict just what would be
the outcome.
Four days of debate faced the
membership, and after that a lot of
work on amendments must be done
before anything like a complete bill
can be put together.
The Haugen bill to create a $375.-
000,000 revolving fund to stabilize
agricultural prices was made the or
der of business. After discussion of
this measure has been completed, the
Tlncher credit measure endorsed by
Secretary Jardine and the Curtis-
Aswell commodity marketing bill will
come up as substitutes.
, Abbott Ordered Released.
Rome, May 4.—(A*)—An investigat
ing magistrate today .ordered the im
mediate release of John Adams Ab
bott, socially prominent in Boston,
who has been held in jail here for
the last week. The charge that he
had insulted Premier Mussolini was
shown to be unfounded.

LEGION LOSS IN TANK
FAILURE IS RETRIEVED
Stevens and Davis Borrow Money on
Personal Note to Make up For the
Last $4 060. (
Tribune Bureau j
Sir Walter Hotel
Raleigh. May 4.—Although some
4.800 of funds belonging to the State i
department of the American Legion j
were on deposit in the Bank of War- j
saw which failed recently, the money
has been replaced in full by Henry
L. Stevens. Jr., state commander, nnd
I. P. Davis, state finance officer, and
is on deposit in n Raleigh bank, it
was announced here yesterday eve
ning.
The state department funds were
in the hands of Mr. Davis, as finance
officer. His home is in Warsaw and,
by some trick of fate, he selected the
Rank of Warsaw as his depository.
Roth he nnd Commander Stevens
were deeply perturbed when the dos
ing of the bank's doors was an
nounced. They went into executive
session shortly after and agreed that
the fairest thing they could do was
to advance the entire amount and
take their chances on getting back
any or all of it when the bank's af
fairs were straightened out nnd the
liquidation completed. That rather
quixotic course was carried out. the
two drawing upon their personal re
sources nnd. possibly, their credit,
nnd the Legion will not lose a cent,
no matter how involved the affairs of
the closed bank may turn out to be.
The deposit docs not amount to
$4,800, but represents the entire ac
count except for the necessary trav
eling and other expenses which the
officers deducted at the start, instead
of borrowing from theihselves, then
repaying themselves ns would have
been necessary had they advanced the
entire $4,800.
This action of the Legion officials
is considered here as a most unusual
example of two officers’ rigid adher
ence to what they chose to consider
their duty to the organization they
were serving.
PROSPEROUS BECAUSE
DRV, WERB ASSERTS
Ai>; lit: of Kai.ooui Responsible For
Wealth, Federal Jurist Declares at
Asheville.
Asheville, May 3. —The absence of
the barroom in this county is largely
I responsible for tlie tremendous in
crease in prosperity during tile last
several years, Judge E. Yates Webb
declared in addressing the grand
' jury this morning shortly after the
* opening of the May term of the
United States district court in the*
* [courtroom.
I I “The great countries of Europe
‘ | are coming to prohibition,” Judge
i Webb said, “and they are beginning
*| to recognize that the power of this
1 1 country lies in its outlawing of the
? liquor traffic. Os course, there is
? still a great deal of drinking going
r on and there are other crimes. But
the drinking that goes on now is
s not more than a thimble compared
- to the drinking that went on 15
1 years ago in this country.”
- Judge Webb reviewed the history
-of law making in the world nnd re
minded the jurors that history has
proved that majority rule is the
wisest and most effective method of
attaining justice to all classes and
bringing happiness and prosperity to
the commonwealth.
Large Cigarette Production in 1925.
Winston-Salem, May 3.—One and
one-third times as many cigarettes
as there have been seconds since the ;
birth of Christ were manufactured i
in the United States last year, ae- ,
cording to figures shown newspaper
men yesterday by a caller at the
Chamber of Commerce.
This man stated that last year
tax was paid on 79,975,654,131
cigarettes and on 372.431,000,572
pounds of tobacco. After a few
moments figuring he announced that
in the past 1926 years there have
been 59.906,304,000 seconds, or that
there will be when this year has ex
pired.
These figures would mean that last
year the United States, manufactur
ed approximately a cigarette for
every second during the i>ast 2,500
years. •
How many cigarettes has Win
ston-Salem contributed or how many
millions of dollars in revenue nave
been paid on local products he was
. unable to say. though the number of
' cigarettes manufactured' locally last
‘ year on the basis of more than thirty
1 1 cars per day. must run intgf the bil
lions, it was pointed out.

DELLINGER GOING TO 1
PHILADELPHIA THIS WEEK
Wifi Make Trip With Mrs. P. S. I
Starr, Second Cousins to Members
of Ross Family.
Charlotte, May 4.—(A 3 )—Julius
Coleman Dellinger, of Denver, N. C„
told she A associated Press here today
that iie expected to leave his home
this week for Philadelphia to meet
tlie relatives of Charlie Ross.
Mr. Dellinger said that Mrs. P. S.
Starr, second cousin of Ross, had ad
vised him that she would call in an
| automobile to start east with him in
an effort to prove he is the long lost
Charlie Ross who disappeared fifty
years ago.
“I am now just sitting quiet—the
world will know soon how well found
ed is my belief to be Ross.” Dellinger
said.
“I expect to establish my claim
and then dig into a hole and retire
peacefully for the remainder of my
life.”
Mr. Dellinger added that Mr. Starr
would join the party at Greensboro,
N. C., and travel to Philadelphia with
them. From there he expects to go to
New York. 'He declined to say how
long he might be gone, but said he
expected to convince any “doubtful”
ones of his identity.
“This is not a new thing with me,”
Mr. Dellinger in his statement said.
“I have for 47 years been engaged in
trying to learn who I am. and I
1 have much evidence to support my be
lief.”
The principal evidence that he indi
cates reliance in to aid him in prov
ing he is Charlie Ross is the birth
mark he bears. He also said he had a
lock of hair from his head cut when
he was 4 years old, which proves val
uable.

NO CHOICE YET MADE ,
OF PRISON CHAPLAIN (
Governor Has Received Letters Dis- (
cussing Successor to Shackletie’s ,
Place. |
Tribune Bureau j
Sir Walter Hotel ,
Raleigh. May 4.—A successor to
Rev. W. S. Sbaeklette, prison chap- i
lain, or, to give’ the position its legal
tit'e, welfare officer, probably will i
be appointed by the prison board ill
its next meeting. May 11th, it was
learned yesterday.
Officially, the position has been va
cant only _ since May Ist, although
Rev. Mr. Shacklette was relieved of
his duties in early April. In the
same resolution which informed the
chaplain that his “usefulness was at
an end,” the prison board permitted
him to occupy the house which he
had been furnished until May Ist
and given his salary to that date.
There has been no little sentiment
for doing away altogether with the
office of welfare officer, but there
is said to be a law requiring that
seme service such as only a minister
can render be made available to pris
oners and it seems likely that the
position will be filled ns soon as is
possible.
So far as is known, no action has
been taken by the board, either indi
vidually or collectively, toward the
selection of a successor, but Governor
McLean said yesterday evening that
■ he had received several letters recom
mending various ministers for the
■ place. The governor, of course, has
- nothing to do with the appointment
-of the welfare officer, but the letters,
i presumably, will be turnd over to the
i tjoariJ for whatever action it sees fit
to take.
Until passage of an act by a re
cent legislature, the welfare work
amoug prisoners has been eared for
by local ministers. That act, how
ever, is said to make the appoint
ment of a full time officer obligatory.

Over SI,OOO Paid to Poultry Raisers.
Lumberton, N. C., May 4.—(A s )
More than SI,OOO in cash was paid to
poultry farmers in Robeson county on
the opening day of the local poultry
market, reports Miss Flax Andrews,
home agent. The market is in charge
of James Price, a poultry club boy,
and poultry is being received every
Saturday from 7 until 12 o’clock. The
market is paving cash upon delivery.
E. C. Locklear, of Pembroke, re
ceived over S2OO in cash on the op
ening day.
As a result of these sales, says the
home agent, farm women in the coun
ty, are installing water systems and
other, conveniences in their homes.
Already more than 35 water systems
have been planned, nnd Miss Andrews
expects more than 50 to be installed
during the summer.

citizens from Other states to see
what is hapening in the Old North’
Staate. the publicity which North
Carolina has been receiving through
articles in various magazines and
, newspapers of nation-wide circula
tion isn’t hurting the sale of North
Carolina's bonds. Governor McLean
has been informed by New York
bankers. t
The governor has received a num- f
ber of letters from friends and ao- 1
quaintances from various places in
the United States and Canada, com- t
plimenting him and the state of 1
which he is the head on the wonder- ;
fill progress being made. as set ]
forth in articles they have read in ]
recent weeks. i
One of these letters was from a
banker in New York through whom
some of the state's bonds hfivC been,
and are being handled. The favorable ,
oublicity the state has been getting
cannot help but increase interest in ,
the securities issued by the state,
-he letter said, and congratulated j
the governor and the state which |
•>de such effective advertising pos
sible.
Whether or not the publicity had
anything to do with it. the bond
market, insofar as North Carolina
bonds are concerned, is in better
condition than in years, according to
advices from New Y’ork. The issues
which have been marketed are being
digested by the investing public
most satisfactorily, and the rate of
interest has dropiied to 4 1-2 per
cent, as certain an indication of a
healthy tone as could be obtained-
Another .$20,000,000 of North
arolina bonds will be marketer! with
in a few months, probably in Sep
tember, the governor stated.
ANCIENT NEWTON TREE
PEELED BY LIGHTNING
Bark Removed Front Top to Bottom,
’ Courthouse Not Touched.
Newton, May 3—Lightning struck
* the largest and one of the oldest oak
trei-s on the county court house lawn
’ this afternoon and tore the bark
• from the tree from top to bottom.
The flash came from the west ami
hit the oak while the county com- 1
missioners were holding a meeting in 3
a room near where the tree stands. ]
The old oak stood on the west lawn i
and was one of the most impressive
trees here. Several years ago it was ,
trimmed by experts and was just be- ,
ginning to take on new life.
The remarkable part of the inei- j
dent is the fact that the new court ,
house was not touched. As soon as
the county commissioners recovered
from the shock they -ordered that
two beautiful water oaks be set out
to replace the one stricken down by
lightning. The electric lighting plant
and about 40 telephones were put
out of eommissiion by the storm.
