C., WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 26, 1921 RAILROADS ASKED TO POSTPONE REDUCTIONS Will Determine If .Transportation Act is Being Violated by Unions CHICAGO HEARING TODAY Carriers Declare That They Will Take No Additional Action on Cut Chicago, Oct. 25.-(By the Associ ated Press.)-The United States Rail road Labor Board today turned to the railroads in its attempt to avert the rail strike scheduled for October 30, suggesting that the roads tempo rarily postpone seeking further wage reductions because the board's docket was so crowded that a wage decision for all classes of employes could not be rendered before July, 1922. The carriers, however, informed the board that they were "powerless to take any other position" than their pres ent one. In formal statement the board in formed the carriers that it would not consider any petitions for wage cuts until the questions of rules and working conditions, now before it, were fully settled. The board then unofficially let the carriers know, it was learned that since a ruling on wages for all classes could not be handed down before July, 1922, it would like the roads formally to an nounce the postponement of their plans to seek further pay cuts, tak ing the attitude that such an an nouncement might avert a walk-out. The committee of the association of railway executives which confered with the board, announced, however,I that the carriers would stand pat on their plans to seek new pay cuts on the ground that wageq must be re duced before freight rates could be lowered and that since the strike was called technically in protest of wage cuts already authorized by the board, there was no necessity for the roads to take other than an inactive part in the strike controversy. Tonight board members in discuss ing the statement, said that the board might take up a new procedure in rendering decisions, handling down individual rulings for individual groups of employes instead of one decision covering all of them. It was )ointedI out by one member that the statement left to the hoard the right to render a wage decision for any one class of employes so soon as the rules and working conditions for that class had been settled, but that this procedure Would stretch into months before , all classes could be considere(l. In this connection, union leaders dle elared that there were several organi zations, noticeably the conductors, which had no roles questions before the board and that consequently a petition for lower wages for them might be taken up by the board imme diately without. the board in any way going back on its statement. The statement was not to be looked on in any way as an ultimatum to the railroads, board members said, but was presented in the hope that it ight bring action from the roads vhich would tendi toward averting the threatened walkout. In its conmunication to the roads the board declared that if both sides would consider the delay necessary before wvages again could he reduced, they would realize that there was It cause for immeliate strife between them over this point. The Unions, not talking into consid eration ..s delay, were crossing bridges before coming to them when they called a strike, the boar('s state ment said. "'It poinitedl out. that the carriers had beeni repieated ly 0urging a quick deci sion of the rules and working condi tion qutest ions now before the board( andi that, it had (determ inedl several weeks ago tot settle this matter before taking up anything else.'" Of the 200 cases submitted to the board during its eighteen months ex istence 1,300 still ate unsettled, the statement said, adding that propetr co opteratiotn bet weetn the untions and the roadls would have prev'ete d notny of themt cotminog to the boartd. T1he board's statemet, nmembers saidl, was issuedl totnight, the eve of the strike heain g, to dletertmiinn if the Tra)nsp~ortationt Act is be intg viola ted oy the untiont in t heirm strike plan, in he hope that it would( in representa ives 01f one sidle ort the other volun.t taily offering some platn to cleatri up the crisis.

About a month ago, little Louise, the five year old daughter of Sheriff and Mr-s. J. E.

Sheriff Gamble took the little girl to a special ist in Sumter. The Doctor said the eye w~as alright, but gave h'er a treat ment. le also said that he was go ing to New York for thirty days, and to continue the treatnient uitil he re turned. The eye did not improve, so the child was taken to another special ist yesterday, who as soon as lie made an examiation, said the ch (ild was blind in that eye andol it would have to be removed.

FARMERS CAl-STILL GlET WiH EAT SEED Refering to our circular letter to I our friends and patrons relative to planting food and forage crops, the three banks of Manning cannot again too strongly urge the planting of these to take care of the situation an other.year. These crops continue high in price, and if we depend upon pur chasing them with our cotton and to bacco crops, it is most likely, from the present outlook, there will be a serious shortage of means with which to buy. Ir addition to the alarming high prices of food now, we are advised that farmers in food-producing see tions are holding their produce from the market for still higher prices, con fidently expecting to get more, and in view of the world shortage in these commodities with good reason. Our information regarding the pre sent and future prices of our cotton alnd tobacco crops, is very conflicting. At home there is an optomistic feel ing, but from financial and consum ing centers it is to the effent that by reason of the great surplus in sight there is not likely to be much change .a the value of them unless another failure in their production materially reduces the stocks on hand; or a con siderable drop in prices now prevail ing stimulates a demand that might react to higher prices. From indications, owing to the pre sence of the boll weevil, the planting of cotton on an extensive scale ill our comnhunity, regardless of the price it may bring, is an extremely hazardous business, and in view of its hazardous nature, it is very doubtful if money for financing this crop as heretofore can be obtained; unless there is pre sent in the country an ample food sup ply, and im that case only on a limit ed scale. In view of the above, the three banks of Manning again strongly ad vise their patrons and friends, not to fail in planting this fall a full crop of wheat and oats for home consumption -these crops can be planted and har vested with a minimum of expense and labor and will materially aid in what might become a distressing situation. We annually import into our county twenty or more thousand barrels of flour and many thousand bushels of oats, the price of the flour alone will substantially aid in reducing the out go of wealth from among us, while a good oat crop will reduce our plr chases of hay and forage. The banks still have an ample sup ply of seed wheat with which to Stpl ply our farmers at cost, and they will be pleased to aid in any way they can consistantly, towards making our community self-sustaining. ----- n--- - RE) CROSS WORKER IN MANNING TODAI Miss Susie Dawson, Field Director of the American Red Cross, is here today perflecting plans for the Fifth Red Cross Roll Call, which begins Nov. 11. "This year finds The Red Cross facing a problem bigger than ever before in its history," said Miss Dawson. "We have eight times as many disabled men in government hospitals as we did in 1919. There is a ward in one tuberculosis hospital that the boys call "St. Peter's Ward" because they know they are there till death releases them. These boys look to the Red Cross for the only bits of joy that comle their way. Can the Red Cross stop! No, we've got to do our- bit and stay with them. "These boys have families at home, sone of them live in Clarendon Coun- I ty.

FLORIDA POINTS HARD HIT BY BIG STORM Tamlpa Without Lights, 'elegraph or Telei)hones Service---Streets Flooded GREAT DAMAGE TO CitOPS Severe Winds Predicted for Coasts of South Carolina and Georga 'Jacksonville, Fla. Oct. 25.-At mid night tonight the tropical hurricane which entered the State at. Tampa this morning and spread northeastward across the State, causing a loss to property and crops estir.im-ted at ap proximately $1,000,000 was apaprent ly attaining its maximum ve!ocity in the vicinity of Jacksonville. The gale was blowing at the rate of sixty miles an houm at midnight, ac cording to Meteoro.o ist Mitchell. The barometer registere-l 29.38 and was still falling, he sai i. The gale in creased in intensil.y from thirty-five miles an hour at n on to the maximum force at midnight. A heavy downpour of rain has been in progress through out the night. This city was also hav ing its troubles with its lighting facil ities, the residential section having been thrown into darkness early in the night, while in the business district electric lights were intermittently on and off. Beyond two small blazes in the residential section and minor auto mobile accidents the storm has had no ill consequences here so far as known. As the storm turned sharply across the State from the west to the east coast, trees were uprooted and small buildings demolished, while crops were reported as being seriously dam age' Late tonight the storm was ap pare ly nearing the east coast be tween Titusville and Jacksonville, ac cording to reports. At Sea Breeze, a seashore resort of Daytona, about mid Ile wiay between Jacksonville and Titusville, a distance of some 225 miles, several cottages were blown down. Division Superintendent iurley, of the Seaboard Air Line Railroad, with headquarters here, renorted he had been in touch with the railroad oflices at Tampa for a few minutes early tonight and that several houses at that place were reported blown down while others were unroofed. The railroad tracks, he said, for sev eral miles this side of Tampa, were hundated and the Seaboard trains were entering the city over th'e At lantic Coast Line tracks. The Lcains of. both roads, however, were feeling their way, he said as telegraphic com munication was impossible. Citrus Crop Injured Fifty per cent of the citrus crop in Polk County was estimated as having been seriously damaged, accroding to advices from Lakeland in that county. Tampa is without lights, telegraph, telephone or street 'r service, ac.(ord ing to the advice: oceived here by way of Plant City, about thirty :iles northeast of Tampa. leavy rains are reported f-Gling over the entire State. Forty r.ies in land from Tampa in the section around Lakeland and Plant City the truck crops have suffer . serious damage. The highways -are virtually impassa ble because of fallen trees, but so far as known railroad service has not been seriously inconvenienced. Offlicials of the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad with division headquarters at Lakeland re port interruption of service south of Tampa with water three feet deep over he tracks between Pu1nta G(orda and Hocagande. The flooded area in Tampa was described as extending from the Bay Shore sea wall to the heart of the business section, a distance of about a mile. Fashionable residence along the Hay Shore dlrive were repotrtedl badlly damagedl from the high water. A gale of 56 miles an houri was re ported in that city. At Plant City 'the rainfall for the last forty-eight hou rs registered 4.26 imches with a wvind of 35 miles an hour blowving. Railh-oad oflicials ire. plorted they were unable to communi cate wvith any in termiedia t st-itions between Plant C'ity' and Tampa. A nu mber of cattle are rep~ortedl dIrowvned. No information as to the pl1igh t oif St. Petersbuirg, 2(0 miles alcross the bay from Tampa, has beeni obta inable, hot. if. is believed the city is fvnaring very nmuch similar to Taminpa. Both cities are protected by a sea wvall, with St.. Petersburg enjoying a slightly higher elevation. The heav'y ra ins th rouighiout thle State have fthrown many cities and towns in darkiiess becauise of the fiilure of piower plan t facilities. No table among these are St . A\ugustiie anad Orhilad.
