C., WEDNESDAY, JUNE 14, 1922 N.2 STRONG FIGHT AGAINST SHIP SUBSIDY BILL Unqualified Condemnation Is Voted by The American Federatidh of Labor Convention PROTEST TO CONG)IESS "Cunningly Devised Scheme to Enrich Certain So-Called Ship Owners," Says Resolution Cincinnati, June 13.-Unqualified condemnation of the ship subsidy bill was voted unanimously today by the delegates at the American Federation of Labor convention al most-simultaneously 'with President Harding's dispatch of a letter ask ing Congress to pass the measure under threat of an extra session. The* convention also voted to send a protest against passage of the bill to Senate and House leaders. The bill was termed by the reso lution adopted by the convention qs a "cunningly devised scheme to enrich certain classes of so-called American ship owners at the ex pense of the truly. American tax ayer and also' to provide patronage which is certain to be used for purely political purposes." The resolution concluded with the state ment that the bill was "condemned as inimical to the public interest, and pa'ticularly destructive to the nation's hopes for sea power." First Attack j The action by the delegates was their first attack on the Harding administration, -which it was indi cated by the federation's executive council report would be the brunt of other attacks (luring the two weeks' convention. All other mat ters were laid aside for considering the shipping bill, but the only floor discussion that came while the meas ure had the right of way was from Andrew Furuseth, president of the Seamen's Union. While the action o nthe shipping bill was the outstanding develop ment of the convention, interest among the delegates also was cen tered in the first movement for a contest of membership of the fed eration's executive council. Joseph A. Franklin, president of the Boiler makers' Union, announced his candid acy for treasurer, opposing Daniel Tobin, president of the Teamsters' Union, who is 'a candidate for re-elec tion. Rail Representative Mr. Franklin's anonuncement came after a meeting of the chiefs of eleven rail unions, which control about one third of the convention vote, and the candidacy of Mr. Franklin was re garded as a movement to give the rail organizations a representative on the council. ' No claim of strength was made by Mr. Franklin, but he and his friends began a campaign that will end on the last (lay of the convention, almost a fortnight away. The move is the second in recent years by the rail unions to win a place on the council, they having a candidate in 1920 in William H. Johnston, of the Machinists' Union, who opposed Jacob Fiacher, of the Barbers' Union, for a vice presi dency. Although +-r. Franklin's an nouncement sail he would oppose Mr. Tobin, it was later said among delegates that he might switch and oppose Mr. Fischer.

Respectfully submitted, F. L. Parker, 1M. D. M. .1. J. CANTEY HAD TO DRINK WATER Summerton, S. C., June 8, 1922. Editor of The Manning Times: On the second- day of June, the writer, with several friends from Sum merton, jumped in a touring car and made a hurried trip to Florence, South Carolina, the object of the trip being connected with a certairt bankruptcy proceeding before Referee Kirk whom, after some difficulty, we found happily housed in the Federal Court House at Florence. Kirk, the Referee, claims an aristocratic pedigree and traces his ancestral history bac kto the first beginnings of South Carolina history, but the writer has investigat ed the matter and finds that the word "Kirk" means a little Church, and therefore Referee Kirk is not a person at all, but he is merely a little sacred edifice, being made a part of the Federal Court building at Flor ence by the judicial decree of Federal Judge H. A. M. Smith. Ever since the writer first commenced the read ing of history, he has understood that when our forefathers settled this coun try, they declared for the separation of the Church and the State, but when Federal Judge Smith installed Kirk, the Referee, in the Federal building at Florence, he clearly made Kirk, the Church, a part and parcel of the Fed eral Court House and thereby violat ed the first principles of the Constitu tion of the United States. The pub lic highway from Summerton to Flor ence, despite heavy rains which came down in torrents during the day and had been falling heavily during a period of two weeks, was in line shape and condition, with the exception of that part of the road between the town of Turbeville in the County of Clarendon and the town of Olanta in the County of Florence, covering a distance of about six miles. Both Florence County and Clarendon Coun ty have neglected that part of the highway between Turbeville and Olanta, and the fact that such a con dition of affairs "xists in a disgrace to both Florence County and Claren (loll County. The writer understands that the dividing line between Flor once and Clarendon Counties runs somewhere between the towns of Tur beville and Olanta, the result being that each County has simply worked up the public road to the farthest town in each Count.,, and have neg lected the intervening space of pos sibly six miles, which is traversed here and there by numerous neighbor hood roads, none of which can be traveled with any degree of pleasure. Now, the people living between the towns of Olanta and Turbeville need help and deserve to be treated better in the matter of a public highway than the aforesaid facts would tend to show, and the object of this letter is to bring the pressure of public opinion on the authorities of Florence and Clarendon Counties and force the |completion of a safe and decent high | way between the towns of Olanta and Turbeville. Good roads are the fore runners of civiization, it is a com mon sight to sei grown men and wo men who live between the towns of Olanta and Turbeville sitting in their rocking chairs on the front porch ab rolutely barefooted and apparently .without. any idea of the necessity of I shoes as a rotect i -n f:nm t'ie r rvag es of hool worm. to .;:y nothing about the comfort and the pieas -e of wearing a nice pair of shoes. The sole object of Christianity is to make decen citizers and the earth a fit plice to live in, and the writer has always had scant patience with those ol religious codgers, who are always r-eparinIg' treasures to lay up in Ileaven and to fit themselves for man sions in the sky, it being bet ter to c , 1 C -.

PRESIDENT HARDING MAY CALL [XTRA SESSION President Pilans to ["orce Vote on Ship Subsidy Bill WARNS REPUBLICAN LEADERS That He Will Feel Compelled to Call Special Session Unless Ac tion Is Taken Washinigton, June 13.-Warning by President Harding that he would feel obligated to call Congress in special sesson f t failed to take up the ship subsidy bill prior to adjourn ment was supplemented today by a White House announcement that the administration was determined to press unremittingly for action now. The President's view on the ques tion of an extraordinary session were set forth in a letter written May 26 to Chairman Campbell of the House rules committee, expressing the hope that the committee in charge of legis lative machinery woulI open the way for speedy consideration of the measure. Copies were obtained mean while by the merchant marine com mittee, framing the bill--which was ready tonight to introduce it tomor row-and Republican committee men decla"'ml the notice served by the Pre silent would rally many Republicans to its support. It was dislch3,ed at t. White House that the 're'silent could suffer n1o ce-iter disanpoint met. than that which would come through failure to put the shipping bill to a vote. 11 use leaders who have talked with him on the subject have stated that he has been most insistent that the measure be taken LII), if necessary, as a straight party issue, believing its en actment of the greatest value to the business welfare of the country. While the merchant marine c;,m mit.tee was working rapidly to have the bill in shape for the House to morrow, Representative Davis, Ten nessee, a Democratic member, launch ed the first minorty attack on it, de elaring it "vicious" in its provisions. There was animated discussion among members as to the effect of the President's letter after publica tion of the text. Considering the Democratic oppostion and Republican "disaffection," one of the Republican leaders asserted today that as matters stood it was extremely doubtful if a special rule, giving the bill the right of way, could be passed in the house. The principal Republican opposition was reported among members from Kansas, Iowa, Mdinnesotla and Wisoon. sin. ''OIIAC('O GROWERS ASSO. 11;l1' IN FLOIRENCE TUlESDAY l'lorenee. S.
