David Clark Reports Data
And Information Gathered
r From Southern Mills.
N. E. STRIKE WAS HELPFUL
Many Carolina Mills Will Be
Able To Continue On '
Hydro-Electric -Power.
CHARLOTTE, Aug. 19. A consider
able number of textile plants in the Caro
lina will be elosed down within the next
10 days or two weeks on. account of the
inability to secure coal, in the opinion of
David Clark, editor 6t the Southern Tex
tile Bulletin, who has just completed a
tour and survey of manufacturing centers
in North Carolina and South Carolina.
This does ot Apply to mills using hydro
electric power, but does apply to practi
' cally all of the mills beyond the reach of
hydro-eleetrio transmission lines, and
those within the territory who operate
partially by steam. ,
i Even with a large number of the coal
mines resuming operations with their old
employes on the" job, the fuel problem
ia ho tin means anlvail. Tha milrnml
situation is such, as a result of the strike
of the mainteinance of awy men,, that
nothing like a normal tonnage of co&l
; ca be Hauled. The reserves are depleted,
and nothing remains but to wait with
more or less patience until railroad con
ditions improve to the point where ample
fuel can be moved. 'Most manufacturers
and busisness men feel that it will pro
bably be 60 days before a normal move
ments of the trains is resumed before
there can bo anything like a rteurn to
normal in the mutter of fuel supplies.
According to data just completed by
Hunter Marshall, Jr., secretary and treasu
rer of the Cotton Manufacturers Asso
ciation of North Carolina, the annual
purchases of coal by the cotton mills of
this state aggregate 1,200,000 tons. The
amount purchased by the mille of South
Carolina is probably not less than 1,000,
000 tons. Cotton mills are well down in
the priority list Of the fuel administra
tion, and while atrenous efforts are being
made by manufacturers to secure coal,
many of them are already closing down.
This means, of course, that many thou
sands of operatives will be thrown out
of, employment temporarily with result
ing losses, not only to themselves, but
to merchants and to business generally
in the communities in which they are.
located.
Generally speaklag the textile indus
try in the south about 70 per cent of
southern spindles are located in the Caro
linas is in very satisfactory shape, ac
cording to local mill men, especially when
compared with the industry in New Eng
land. Southern cotton mill men are
frank to say that the labor trouble in'
New England has benefited the industry
in this section, f oa the reason that the
shutting down of the New England mills
saved the goods market from being glutt
ed, and has served to widely advertise
the fact that the south is today produc
ing fine goods in competitiqn with New
England. It is strikingly true that dur
ing the recent months a much larger sec
tion than formerly of the markets for
fine goods has been supplied by southern
mills and a largely increased number of
jobbers, retailers and consumers have
come into an appreciation of the fact
that the quality of southern goods does
not suffer in the least by comparison
with New England goods.
Incidental to the New England labor
troubles, wide publicity has been given
in newspapers and trade papers to the
more fortunate position . of southern
mills in many respects and this must
rebound to the benefit of the industry
down here. For instance," there has re
cently been general recognition of the
fact that most southern mills, being
newer, arc equipped with better, more
modern and more efficient textile ma
chinery. There are ne longer any
claims ef superior efficiency of the
workers in the mills of New England.
It is coming to be recognised that not
only in efficiency but in intelligence,
character, initiative, ambition, loyalty
and independence, the southern mill
workers, native Americans,', surpass the
workers of New England, a vast majori
ty of whom are of foreign birth, sjieak
a 'foreign language, and are not alto
gether sympathetic with American ideals
regarding liberty and opportunity.
Traveling men have contrasted con
ditions in this section today with com
ditions existing in the manufacturing
centers of New England. In this sec
tion most of the milk have been oper
ating at full capacity. There have
been jobs for all workers, except in
some sections of .South Carolina, whore
farmer have rushed toward the
cotton mill communities, as a result
of the ravages of the boll weevil, and
business has been' good generally, with
an unprecedented amount of building
construction. In progress. In the
manufacturing sections of New Eng
land business has been at a standstill.
There is ni building in progress and.
not only the striking operatives, but
many others have suffered the pin;(j
of acute want. Many of the mills have
recently resumed operation, it ie fa id,
but they are now confronted with their
inability to secure coal so that it seems, 1
there mast be a further period of staa-1
nation and suffering before -normal con'
ditions can again prevail in that secj j
tioa.

On account of unfavorable weather

STANLY COUNTY CAN'T
FIRE WELFARE OFFICER
Was Under Contract For Two
Years' And County Commis
sioners Can , Not Oust Him.
RALEIGH, Aug. 18. Stanly
county which is to say Dockike Camp
bell, Republican candidate for Congree'
in the eighth, cannot bounce the wel
fare officer. .
Dockike has gone and done it ac
cording to the- minutes of the August
meeting of the' commissioners, ' but At
torney General James 8. Manning to
day rules the action void. That will
help Dockike mightly in telling the na
tivos about "centralization at Raleigh'
and will be worth four or five votes
in the county, but the legislation is the
general 'assembly 's, not Judge Man
ning's.
Dockike tried to salvage the home
demonstration work in his county
tins is a woman's position and the
women vote. But the commissioners
overwhelmed by his eloquence in ousting
the welfare officer couldn't get him
in his argument to hold the demonstra
tion work. It so happens, though, that
the Stanley commissioners can 't over
rule the general assembly and that
seems to be the trouble. For campaign
purposes it will do just as well to keep
the officer. This functionary will
serve as a clinic in " centralization. "
Judge Manning writes Mrs. Clarence
Johnson, state commissioner of welfare
this letter:
"You state that Stanley county has
a. population or aooui z,uuu . ay lae
census of 19200, and so is not a county
in which under Chapter 128, Publie
Laws 1921, a county superintendent of
puDiic welfare is required to be elected.
By the provisions of that act it was op
tional with the board of commissioners,
in counties having less than. 32,000
population, to take part in the election
of a county superintendent. At the
proper time, the second Monday in
July, 1921, the Stanly county board did
attend the joint meeting with the board
of education, and elected 'a county
suiierintendent for two years and fixed
his 'compensation, which under the stat
ute is to be paid by the two boards,
one-half each. On the first Monday in
August of this year, the board of com
missioners attempted to - rescind their
action of the previous year and an
nounced that they would no longer
participate in the payment of the super
intendent's salary or his expenses. You
ask us to rule upon the legality of this
action of the board of commissioners.
We think the board had no authority
under the statute to adop ' this order,
before the second Monday in July,
1923. The term was for two years,
and the superintendent could not be
removed exceut for caue and this
must befound at a joint meeting of
both boards. The office could not be
abolished during his term except by the
same joint action."
The welfare work is in politics for
fair now, witji the Democratic party
generally committed to its continuance,
and the Republicans generally a
gainst it was done by two Democrats
in the 1921 general assembly, one of
them Solicitor M. W. Nash, who had
a powerful poor time in the late pri
mary. But the party will have to de
fend tho department in the coming
campaign. Dockike wil ldoubtlesa as
sault the whole business from the
stump. j
Nehemiah As Strike-Breaker.
While Judges Boyd and "Webb make
ruling that strike-breakers at 8iencer
must not be maltreated by the strikers,
another distinguished jurist, Hi Honor
Oliver H. Allen, has imported a strike
breaker whom he holds upon to 'the
admiration of the' multitude, so court
visitors tell Raleigh newspaper men.
Aswas to nave been expected, Judge
Allen s champion is a Biblical bearcat.
The hero is the Prophet Nehemiah who
broke up a walk-out when the temple
was in the making. With the excep
tion of Ous Price of Salisbury, Judge
Allen is conceded to be the most pro
found Biblical student in the North
Carolina laity. Should there be any
feeling between the two it should be
said that Judge Allen is the greatest
Democratic and Gus Price the greatest
Republican laic in the state.
One of the state's prominent solici
tors has just been in the east and
brought back the story of Judge Al
len's charge to the jury holding up
Nehemiah as the kind of man now
needed in one of the greatest industrial
wars recorded by history. And that
great religious statesman . and ruler
settled the -temple strike, according
to this wise and good judae. bv com
muning twith himself. In which action
he wasn t entirely unlike Governor Mor
rison.
The comments of Judge Allen would
Have a distinct present Interest nH
would carry themselves in the sheer

Unusually Big:
Faces Judge Webb Next Week
One Hundred And Thirty-Five Cases Are Docketed For Trial
.-. And More To Come -31 Per Cent Are Liquor, Cases And
, Most Of Them Are Coming Up For Trial At This Court
Under Judge Webb Impossible To Try All The Cases.
When Judge James L. Webb, opens
Gaston Superior Court for trial of cri
minal bases here Monday morning he will
face one of the largest criminal dockets
on record in this county. Attorneys
and court officials are of the opinion that
the entire docket could not be disposed
of in a straight four weeks term. This
of course, means that the large majority
of the cases on docket will not be reach
ed. , Jail cases, of which there are
twenty-three, will be taken first ani.ill
probably take up, a very considerable
portion of the one-week term.
One hundred and thirty -five cares are
docketed for. trial and many more will
be docketed before court convenes. This
does not take into- account a large num
ber of cases for presentation to the
Grand Jury out of which not a few true
bills, will come, resulting in the docket
ing of still more cases. Nor does it take
into account the good behavior list nor
tlie sci fa docket, both of which consume
no little time. ; . s '
Of the 135 cases on the docket, 43
or 31 per cent are liquor cases. In this
number are several generally referred to
as " big" eases because of the fact that
the defendants are well known as "big"
figures in the liquor business. It is ra
ther unusual circumstance, but one which
is admitted by court officers, that tho de
fendants in liquor cases, some of whom
have been fighting for months to gt their
trials postponed, are expected to be on
hand for trial at this term. That it
will be impossible to try more than a
small .per centage of them however, is
certain.

Of Train.
U. S. MARSHALS ON DUTY
Morrison Says State Will
Protect Southern's Prop-
erty At Spencer.
CHICAGO, Aug. 19. (By The As
sociated Press) With railroad peace
aparently hanging in the balance until
next Wednesday, when spokesmen of the
railroads and striking shopmen are due
to meet again, dynamite and violence
kept the strike from lagging.
Outbursts ocrured at scattered points
from the Atlantic to the Pacific ' Bombs
wer thrown into the Atchison, Topcka
& Santa Fe yards at Alberquarque, N.
M, and a heavy blast rocked the trestle
of a Shesapcake & Ohio railroad bridge
near Huntington, W. Va., early today.
According to early reports neither ex
plosion caused much damage.
Dynamite tore up the track of the
Illinois Central at Paducah, Ky., just
ahead -of a coal train. . Two passenger
trains and a freight had passed a short
time before 'and the explosion burst be
hind a bridge crew. The oncoming coal
train was flagged in time to prevent a
wreck- t
i All available United States, deputy
marshals in -the district were rushed to
Shawnee, Okla., early today, to guard
against violence in the shops of too
Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific
Governor Morrison, of North Carolina,
who declined early appeals to send troops
to the shops of the Southern Railway at
Spencer, assured President Fairfax Har
rison, f the road, that the State would
protect the company's property and
rights . Hia Investigations, the gover
nor Mid, convinced him that improved
conditions appeared to make the use of
troops unnecessary, but he promised to
act promptly if the situation grew worse.
Transportation difficulties due to un
authorised strikelu of train crews con
tinued to clear away rapidly as the train
mea returned to their jobs in most places
where walkouts occured.
New complications on the Missouri
Pacific arose when 90 per cent of the
Brotherhood of Railway Clerks employed
on the road voted in favor of a strike.
It was said no walkout was contemplated
until further attempts at settlement of
controversies were made. Working con
ditions and wsge cuts of three and four
ents In hour ordered by the labor board
were cited in the clerks grievances.

Forest Fire. Spreads
Over 200,000 Acres.
DULTJTH, MINN., Aug. 19.
After a night of calm, men fighting
the 200 odd forest fires, spread over
200,000 acres in northern Minnesota,
set out today to attempt to get a
strangle hold on the various biases
before they, could be stirred ' into
greater menaces by heavy winds. A
light rain fell early today.
Settlers remaining in threatened
settements have been warned to be
prepared to leave their homes should
high winds develop today.
According to state forester Cox,
only the lull in the wind yesterday
prevented a repetition of the 1918
disaster when 433 persons were kill
ed. Early today there had been no
casualties, though several persons
were reported missing .
ANTHRACITE MINERS
AND OPERATORS CONFER
Attempt To Reach An Agree
ment That Will End The
Strike In Hard Coal Mines.
PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 19. Coal
operators and representatives of tho
miners resumed their conferences short
ly after 10 o'clock today in an effort
to reach an agreement that would end
the strike in the anthracite coal fields.
No statement was issued by either side
prior to the opening of the meeting
and there' was no intimation as to
what progress, if any, had been . made
in the negotiations.
One- of the; proposals which, it was
unofficially reported, the operators will
submit to the union officials, was to
refer the wage controversy to the an
thracite conciliation commission, -which,
for twenty years lias settled minor dis
putes in the hard coal regions. The
commission, whose membership com
prises the three districts presidents of
the anthracite fields, three operators
and an umpire, has never passed on
wage questions. The operators pro
posal, it was stated, would provide for
three umpires, instead of one, the other
two to be appointed by the presiding
judge of the United States Circuit
Court.
Samuel D. Warriner, president of the
Lehigh Coal and Navigation Company,
and spokesman for the operators, would
neither affirm nor deny whether such
a proposition would- be submitted.
Neither would any of his associates.

KBIDER SAYS JIMISON'S
; STATEMENT IS LIE
Report Among' Strikers That
He Advised Them To Arm
-Twenty-Three Men Ar
riyer For Work, But Claim
, Disappointment And Join
Strikers.
SALISBURY, Aug. 19. The strike
situation toduy took on a decided local
color and centered around fight being
marie on Sheriff J. II. Krider. , ,
Rev. Tom Jimison's criticism of the
oflicer, made during a speech at tho meet
ing of striking craftsmen at the Btraad
theater this morning, was liberally ap
plauded. Mr. Krider, who has long had
a state-wiilo reputation as being a most
exceuent officer, was referred to by the
preacher us a weak-kneed sheriff who
tries to serve the railroad company in
stead of the folks."
Sheriff Krider this afternoon branded
as a lie the statement current among
the strikers that he had advised the picke
ters to arm themselves with guns and
then called for troops because the picke
ters were armed.
He is emphatic in the statement that
he never advised any of them to carry
guns.
The sheriff says he has done what he
believed' the right thing and now he
thinks that his call for troops and tho
governor's subsequent visit here has had
a quieting effect on the situation, which
had become very tense. His belief in
tho wisdom of his action is strengthened
by the fact that this morning Jte stood
at the Spencer passenger station and saw
twenty-five or more men get off a train
and puss unmolested by tho pickcters in
to the shops to work.. This, he thinks,
could not have happened several days
ago without serious trouble.
Sheriff. Krider this afternoon had an
inquiry from Governor Morrison's office
as to the situation and was able to re
port that "everything was quiet.
Twenty-three men landfd here to
night on No. 33 and placed themselves
in the hands of the strikers. They re
fused to get off at Spencer and to local
men professed a desire to return to New
York. They with others were promised
work in an open shop on the Southern
railway, they claim, by agents, of the
company. Their destination was .not
made known to them and when they
reached Washington they were locked in
a ear, some of their original number get
ting away st that place. At fieneer
their escort told them to get off, but
when the pickets informed them that the
strike was still ontbey got back on the
train and came on to Salisbury. They
are .being taken care of tonight by local
strikers. The men state they are only
laborers but their pusses designate them
as mechanics.

At Southern Shops; Charlotte

Charlotte, Concord, Burlington, Mt. Gilead,

Ordered To Spencer Governor Afraid That
Tragedy Might Take Place Sheriff Krider
States There Are No Disorders.
RALEIGH, Aug; 19. Adjutant General Metts of the
North Carolina National Guards, announced this afternoon
that the following companies had been ordered to entrain at
once for Spencer viz : Charlotte, Concord, Burlington and
Mount Gilead irffantry companies, the Durham Machine Gun
Company, the Lincolnton and Hickory Cavalry Troops and
the medical detachment from Graham. ' 4
RALEIGH, N. C, Aug. 19. Governor Morrison today
ordered troops to entrain immediately for Spencer for duty in
connection with'the strike of shopmen at the Spencer shops
of the Southern Railway. The Governor told The Associated
Press he would issue a statement, about noon explaining his
action. He declined to say if there had been serious disorders '
reported at Spencer or how many troops he had ordered there.
The adjutant general's office declined to make any state
ment regarding the movement of troops, saying the Governor
had instructed that all inquiries be referred to him. '
Declaring that the situation is still tense and that he had
"become nervous and afraid that a tragedy might take place
at Spencer in spite of the cooler heads and that the honor of
North Carolina may be degraded," were among the reasons
Governor Morrison gave in a statement this afternoon for or
dering' troops to entrain immediately for Spencer for duty in
connection with the strike of shopmen at the shops of the
Southern Railway.
u SALISBURY, N. C, Aug. 19. It was stated at the
sheriffs office here,at 11:30 o'clock this morning that no dis
orders had been reported at the Spencer shops of the Southern
Railway since Wednesday night, when a carload of special
agents were reported have been pfeventd from stopping at
Spencer by strike sympathizers. Sheriff Krider declared that '
he had not asked th Governor for troops since Wednesday
night, and knew nothing about soldiers being ordered to Spen
cer today. A telephone message from Spencer said there had
been no trouble there and no one knew why soldiers were be
ing sent there.
TARIFF FIGHT TO BE
ENDED IN SENATE
Passage Of Administration
Bill By Overwhelming Ma-
jorny is rredicted By Sup
porters.
WASH IXG TON:' Aotr. 19. Th
Senato is excetel to em! its four
month's tariff fight late today with
the passage of tho administration bill
by an overwhelming majority. With
the absence of two republican Senators
generally credited as in opposition, it
was expected that not to exceed threo
votes would be cast against" the bill
on the majority side. The general be
lief was that these would bo offset by
t least that many votes in support
on the Democratic side.
Although it worked until close to
midnight, last night, the Senate was
back on the job half an hour earlier
than, usual today in order to clean up
amendments of individual Senators.
?u .1 ? ? , . "8nr wns "K"'1
that debate should be limited to , five
minutes for each Senator nn ! a.
mendment and that tho administrative
features, including the so-called flexible
tariff provisions, should first be con
sidered .
Asiilo from these features most of
the highly controverted individual a
mendments were disposed of during
the more than twelve hours th;it the
Senate labored yesterday. Iiy substan
tial majorities the 2.3 cents a pound
rate on sugar and the 3 cents a pound
on the clean content ef raw wool were
re-approved. Both matters led to long
and sharp debates.

RECOMMENDATIONS OF
HARDING BE FOLLOWED
WASHINGTON, Aug. 19. Plans for
carrying out rresideut Harding's re
commendations yesterday concerning the
coal situation legislatio to control the
present situation brought about b the1
miner's strike and designed to forestall
similar future difficulties were under
way today. Both Senate and House Bo
publican lenders promised speedy action
and they were.. said to have the support
of most of tho Democratic leaders. Mem
bers of tho House Interstate Commerce
Commission last night were requested in
telegrams sent by Kepresentative Mon
dell, Kepublican rloor leader, to return
to Washington at once. '
The proposed legislation, it was in
dicated by leaders, will be confined for
the present to measures to set un an
an agency to purchase, sell and distri
bute coal in interstate commerce, and for
creation of a commission to ascertain 'J
the facts in the coal industry. The agency
proposition, which would be designated
primarily to control prices, it was in-
licated, likely would require more time
fur consideration tlian the fact fimling
commission as some leaders were said to
ipppoe the recreation ofany such body
! .... i... .-. i . ..t ... , i
as the wartime coal administration, which
they declared was not a success.
Other recommendations made by Mr.
Harding in his address to Congress, such
as legislation to "put teeth" into deci
sions of the Railroad Labor Board an4
for Federal protection of aliens were re
garded as less urgent and are expeeted,
.to go ore to the next session
