ASSOCIATED PRESS STRIKE LERDERS URGE ODMPRQMSE BRITISH GOVERNMENT FIRM IN ATTITUDE OF WATCHFUL - v . WAITING. WON'T OPERATE MINES London, Oct. 21. Two demon : strations, one in " behalf of Irish freedom and the other against un employment, ushered in the new session of parliament. .Warned by the savage rioting which marked ' Monday's unemployment demon stration, all available police re serves were massed about White- . hall and Parliament building. Dig crowds blocked the streets. Just as the House of Commons was being called to "order a proces sion of men and women marched through the streets bearing ban-, ners with such inscriptions as "Hands off Ireland." A large num ber of unemployed men and women broke up a meeting of the Loncon County Council. They were eject ed and made a noisy demonstration in. the streets outside. Premier Lloyd Geoi'ge addressed Commons and outlined a scheme for the alleviation of unemployment. He w9 cheered by the members. The Premier suggested that the unem ployed among the former soldiers be utilized in the building trades and ill the construction of new roads both in London and the country districts. He said that the Cabinet hoped to secure the cooperation of the trades unions in solving the unemployment problem. - With the. government firm in its attitude that it will not attempt to initiate negotiations looking ' to the s end of the coal strike, in which more than one million miners are now idle, prominent labor leaders, such as J. H. Thomas and J. R. Clyne3, are urg ing, some sort of compromise which will enable the men and the govern ment to' get. together. " Meanwhile it appears that the gov ernment, is - waiting watchfully, ex pecting, that shortly the miners will wear themselves out. No attempt will be made at government operation and,"-although the shutdown of the 'mines is complete in every mining district, no attempt to use strike breakers will be made. The govern ment is simply allowing the situation to drift. London, Oct. 21 The coal strike took'! a grave turn today, when the GENE HOLTON FAILS i J TARBORO, N.

TOBACCO PRICES AT HlfiH MARK Though the sales were light the prices on the tobacco market today were the -best of the season, some piles selling as high as $74 per hundred. ' , All the warehouses state that the buyers are anxious for tobacco and the manufacturers are short. They advise bringing in the tobacco but not' rush the market too much. Raleigh, Oct. 21. Advices from Hon. Cameron Morrison received in Raleigh are to the. effect that the xr governor of North Carolina recovered from throat ('trouble that compelled him to rest Shis voice a few days, and that he expects to fill all the remainder of his appointments to election day. Mr. Morrison left Charlotte for Wilmington, today, and will speak initio Cape Fear city tonight. A number of warm friends of Morri son will find genuine pleasure in learning that his health is notori ously or permanently impaired, al though he has done enough cam paign work during the two prima ries and since the state campaign begun to put many a man out of commission. Today is the biggest day of State Fair, arid the crowd at the grounds is enormous. Yesterday the weather could not have been better and the great show played to a" "capacity house." Friday is the day when the city schools and colleges here and elsewhere turn out with thousands of students, being known as "education al day," and another vast assemblage will spfead.over the capacious mid way. It is one of the best and most enjoyable state fairs in any year since the world war broke out, and inter fered with the fair, but for one year only. Gen. Julian S. Carr, North Carolina's "first private citizen" (and what prouder honor could any man aspire to?) is again president .this year,, and his genial presence is felt and appreciated by thousands all over North Carolina who know and love him personally. ., Candidate 'Gene Holton who thinks e is running lor tne u. s.-oenate against Senator Overman, and who started out to play a hand to seduce the labor vote, finds his plans very much miscarried. The excessive in flux of undesirable immigrants to hieh organized labor is strongly op posed and against which Senator Ov erman's record as chairman of the senate committee . on immigration is endorsed and commended by labor, is London, Oct. 21. Reports have been officially confirm ed that Lord Mayor MacSwi ney was fed on the 67th day of his hunger strike, during a period of unconsciousness. The doctors forced meat juice into his mouth, which was absorbed. A later bulletin said that MacSwiney , continues in a,' deliirious State.

BRITISH DRUG ACT CONTROLS IMPORT OF ALL NARCOTICS London, Oct 21.

Under its provisions licenses are required for the import and export of these drugs.. - ' London and Liverpool are the only ports through which raw opium may be imported, while the manufacture, sale or possession of opium prepared for smoking is prohibited. I E UP AND REGISTER MRS PAATERSON REPORTS 30u REGISTERED IN ROCKY MOUNT. ARE ALIVE TO SITUATION FAR PREMIUM AVAILABLE BANKER COMMITTEE URGE FARMERS AID Washington, Oct. 21. The report of the agricultural commission of the American Bankers' association said that the bankers can and should aid the farmers by assisting in the estab lishment of co-operative warehousing and selling organizations, for, unless the farmers can sell their products with reasonable assurance of fair profit there will be an increasing tide cf "men drifting from tiie farms to the cities. Overman and the labor vote this year so tightly that Candidate Holton will do well if he gets the vote of even a small fraction of the Republican ele ment of the labor vote, which in its entirety is small as compared to the percentage of Democrats among the members of the North Carolina Fed eration of Labor. Senator Overman was so active against an influx of "undesirables that the anarchistic for eign gang sent him a bomb and tried to blow up our senator." We need him in the senate now more than 7 , . ever, said a prominent labor man. All the stores have the, premium books of the Coastal Plain Fair; if Hot; they can get them from Mf, John son's office and they should take ad vantage of this opportunity to distri bute same. . ' ' One of the merchants suggests that each merchant designate one clerk in each store to 'have charge of these premium books and sec that each cus tomer gets one before she leaves the store. This is an excellent thought, as every book so given out, accompanied by a personal word of commendation for the local fair, is a boost for Tar boro and an advertisement to every merchant. Capt. Paul Jffnes, who is now mak ing a vigorous campaign throughout the county, mainly in the interest of the; registration of the women Voter, gives the following report: v "At , each speaking 'the 1 registrars have'beeh present and take a deep interest In the proceedings. "In No, 14 township they say they expect; to have at least 3evrityWye of the ,women registered by the last day, Saturday. '"Mrs. Patterson, of Rocky. Mount, reports that more than three hundred women have registered in the.'city and during the rest of the weeT? she expects to make a house-to-house can vass. .... "At Edgewood last night thirty wo men registered, and Messrs, Frank Eagles and W. W. Eagles are work ing hard to put their township across. "At Pinetops tonight the moving picture' house has been bought out by the leading business men and free pictures will be shown and speaking take place , so that a large gathering is , expected, the outlook, for--a big registration in No. 10 township is splendid." As Capt. Paul Jones stated, the women themselves, as a whole, are taking more real interest in register ing than the men. . s If the proper effort is put forth ninety per cent of the women will register. t I believe the women now realize the danger ahead even more than the men do," said Capt. Jones. SUITCOSTWi l' ts-iK.sjvrwJLi news . - tHj :s j ,vt; JPRICEj 5 fCCWT. BANDITS S HOOT YOUNG r Buffalo, Oct. 21.

Bishop Faley declared today in Kildare and Leighlin Roman Catholic cathedral that it was not improbable that be fore long parts of Ireland would be plunged into a sea of bloodshed and slaughter unless something in the line of a moral miracle were performed. He could not see by what means the Irish people were to be preserved from the dreadful evils which threat ened them; the destruction of life and -property on such a scale as would fall little short of that which befell Northern France at the hands of the Germans. Their duty as Christians and Catholics, was clear, he said They must have no hand in act or part in murders and they must not give the slightest encouragement to them. EXCHANGE STOPS IMPORTS.
