GOVERNMENT TAKES HAND
President Issues Proclamation on the
Strike Question.
President Harding' in a proclamation
issued at the White House Tues- j
day night, directed "all persons to rc- '
Train from all interference with the
lawful efforts to maintain interstate I
transportation and the carrying of the j
United States mails."
in the proclamation, which was in- j
sued after a day in which continued !
reports had reached the postoffico do- i
partment of interference by railroad
strikers with mail trains; the president
invited the co-operation of all public j
authorities, state and municipal, and i
the "aid of all good citizens," to up- J
hold the laws and to "facilitate these ;
operations in safety which are essential
to life atul liberty, and the so- j
curity of property and cur common j
public welfare."
The peaceful settlement of eontro- j
versies between shop craft employes
and carriers, it was stated, "in ac- i
cordance with law and due respect for I
the established agencies for such
settlement, are essential to the scour- j
ity and well being of our people."
The president took the position :
that men willing to maintain the oper- ;
ation of railroad trains in order to
transport mail have the "same indisputable
right to work that others h veto
decline to work."
President Harding was occupied,
thi'oiignout Ihe evening w:?h the pre- j
paration of the proclamation, delaying;
his dinner one hour in order to go over
the first transcript, lie returned to j
the executive office after dinner and j
remained there until the nrnclanialion '
wns made public about 10:40 p. m.

PRESENT GERMAN CRISIS.
Facts and Circumstances Which Seem
to Threaten War.
Germany's crisis, which Ainu
Dosch-Fleurot reports from Berlin, is
likely to result in a revolution, according
to the New York World, has
lieen caused by these circumstances:
Insistence of 1-Yayce that the rcpar- J
atiuns Dill l<e paid has prevented oth- ;
or nations and financial powers from i
going to the assistance ot Germany, t
In consequence, paper money lias been
issued in a flood; and the mark lias
continued to fall. With its decreased
purchasing power living conditions for j
most of the population have become j
extremely bad; while conditions in in- i
dustr.v have become chaotic.
Dr. Itnthonnu attempted, despite thai
country's condition, to meet the demands
of France through heavy taxes,
especially impositions on cardial. The
anger of the propertied class and
monarchists centred on him. His assassination
July 1 brought public revelations
of the existence of powerful
armed reactionary forces and a minder
band sworn to kill leaders of the
anti-monarchist parties. especially ;
jews.
In order to suppress the reactionaries
the government undertook to en-;i
net laws which would h ive given i! <
power to mnl.e siuiitiiar.x arrests, <# |

Consolidated Schools.?The number
of white one-teacher schools in South
Carolina lins been reduced by 452 in
five years.
Consolidation of schools in the last
five years has decreased Ihe number
of white schools by 17R and the number
of ncgio schools by 57.
On the other hand there are still
915 white one-teacher schools in this
state.
"Here is the weakest link in our
educational chain," State Superintendent
of Education Swearingen declared
in his report this year. "These
classrooms require the maximum of
effort, energy and ability. Now they
are too frequently eddies in our educational
stream."
Approximately 20,000 pupils arc
taught in these one-teacher schools.
Most of them are in the country.
Consolidation of schools is going on ]
in South Carolina at a reasonable rate.
It is estimated-that in five years consolidation
will be completed In Iowa,
although the movement started only
four or five years ago. Indiana has
more than 1,000 consolidated schools.
Ohio lias 200. Tennessee has more
than 300 and Texas more than 700.
In these states consolidation is a comparatively
new undertaking.
The Kansas City Star proclaims this
truth:
"The one-room school has become as
obsolete as the one-horse wagon. It
cannot provide the education that the
boy and girl of today demand. ...
Progress in a number of states has
been slow; but it need not be. The
boys and girls of the rural districts of
today have a right to the best educational
advantages that can be placed
before tin m. It will require neither a
stretch of optimism nor undue generosity
to see the majority of these
boys and girls with the advantages
they deserve several years before their
school years have passed."
It stands to reason that one teach- '
er, no matter how competent, cannot
ffleientlv teach a large group of chit- I
(li en of various grades. That is more
than any one person do. The consolidated
school provides not only a
hitter building hut also more teachers.
There are nearly a thousand schools
in South Carolina which should he
consolidated in order that the pupils
mia fret ; .-ipnirc deal in educational
opportunity.?<!rectivilie i'iedmont.

. TO SETTLE COAL STRIKE
President Makes Public Outline of His
Plan.
In addressing his proposal to the
conference of miners and operators at
the .White House Monday, President
[larding said:
"Gentlemen: The information has
come to me that your conference is *
leadlockcd, or at the best, attempting
lo agree on plans which will requite
extended time to work out. i have
said heretofore that the government
prefers you who are parties to the dispute
should settle it among yourselves,
jceauue you best understand all the
problems involved. The government
cannot settle it for you. It will force
no man to work against his free will#
it will force no man to employ men
igainst the free exercise of an employer's
rights. The government will
not be partisan, hut the government.I?
concerned with coal production suflictent
to meet the industrial and transportation
requirements of the country
end to safeguard against a met i aim no
when winter conies again, and it is desired
to have production resulted at
once. \
"Your government does desire \to be
helpful. Willi such a thought, therefore,
I submit to you the following
propora]:
"Mine workers arc to return to work
an the scale of wages which expired
last March 21 and mines now idle because*
of strike or suspended operation
to resume activities without interference
with activities of mines now
working. The 1922 scale to be effective
until August 10, 1922.
"A coal commission to ^bc created at i
once, consisting of three members
selected by the mine workers, three
members selected by the mfyc operators
and five* members to lie itemed by
the president. All decisions by this
commission shall be accepted final.

possible, within thirty days from today,
for the minors on strike, a temporary
basic wage scale, which scale shall ho
jfTectivc until March 1, 1923. In event
that the commission is unable to report
Its scale by August 10, it shall
have power to direct continued work
'>ii 1922 scale, until superseding scale
is ready.
"The commission shall investigate
exhaustively Overy phase of the coal
Industry. It shall reveal every cost of
production and transportation. The
president will ask congress tp con'fdr
luthority for the most thorough investigation,
and make appropriations
necessary to do such work. The commission
shall make recommendations
ooking to the establishment and1 maintenance
of industrial peace in the toal
industry, the elimination of wastc\ due
to intermittency and instability, ymd
suggest plans for dependable fuel
supply. \
"I have taken this short cut to : a
'esumption of?6pcrations because I believe
it to be in the interest of t|ic
nihlie welfare. It is that simple form
)t adjusting disputes which answers
he call of goorl conscience and a just
:ivilization. When two great forces
lo not agree there must be a peaceful
ivay to adjustment and such an arbiration
opens the way.
"I do not expect reply without due
onsideration. 1'lease take the proposal
to separate conferences. I wisli ,*ou
to appraise the situation, weight 1
,'our responsibilities, and then answer
his proposal as you wish to be appraised
by American public opinion. 1

Merest, but I am likewise mindful of
he rights of both workers and opera ors.
You are also an inseparable part
>f that public interest. With due re*
rard to all concerned, it ought to be
asy to find a way to resume activities

American public."

Advice to UOtiri'JC Litargs.?i:irlain
visitor to a certain town not
iforrsaary to mention, said recently t?>
a friend who lived in that town, "I
did not know .you iuul so many .idle
rich people in your town before. I see
a.crowd of young people with nothing
to do but ride around in cars all dressed
up or loafing around some drink
places."
The friend's reply was that not all
those he caw drerred up and riding
around were rich. In fact irirdly any
of them could be so classed. The
parents of most of the young men and
young women seen riding aropnd'were
people of only ordinary means. Tlioy
had boon hard workers all their lives
and had saved a little, owned their
home perhaps, and that was all. The
children had persuaded them into buying
an automobile and now tin children
were in it most of the time. The
parents were doing all the work. The
Children were using up the labor of
their parents in money f<n* gas ami
oil and repairs. The parents were getting
older, showing some lines and
wrinkles in new places almost every
day hut the children never seemed to
notice or to care.
The boys want an easy life. Sometimes
it leads to crime. They see other
boys having a Rood time and not working
and it is easy to drift Into schemes
to get money without working. Heftitc
long these schemes lead to others
a bit more shady and then the line
over into downright stealing is easy to
cross.
