$ection One SeCtion One8 L.ages I to 8C.,1WEDNESDAY JUNE 28,e1922 -7V0 ________ MANNING, S. C., WEDNESDAY, JUNE 28, 1922 S KE OF SHoPMEN CALLED FOR JULY I Men Will Stick to Work if Officials Agree to Stay $60,00b,000 Wage Cut SENDS OUT TELEGRAMS ftailway Executives Asked to Restore Working Conditions For merly in Effect - Chicago, June 27.-A strike of he 400,00 'Orailway shopmen of the couhtry will be called for July 1 unless the railroads agree to stay the $60,000,000 wage cut due the shop workers on that date and to restore certain working conditions formerly in effect. It was made known tonight through a elegram from J. B. Jewell, head of the shop crafts, to the 9sso elation of Railway Executives. Decision to call a strike came late today after a lengthy discus d sion by the executive committee of the six shop crafts unions based on the strike vote of the men thus far tabulated. Should the rail heads arrange an immediate conference, agreeing mean while to continue present wages, re store working rules modified by the Railroad Labor Board and discontinue farming ;out railroad work, however, a walkout can be halted, the tele gram said. Otherwise a "sanction of withdrawal from employment on 'July 1, 1922, as voted by the employes, will be unavoidable." Telegram to Cuyler The 2,600-word tele gram address ed to Dewitt Cuyler, e airman of the Association of Railway Executives khrew no light on the actual strike vote beyond saying it was an "over whelming majority." Ballots were still coming in, it was said, as they , were not returnable until June 30. A two-thirds majority is required by the union by-laws to call a strike. Although the actual call for the walkout was made dependent on the railway executives reply to President Jewell's ultimatum, little expectations was expressed in rail road circles tonight, that the execq tives would agree to such sweep ing demands as those made by the unions. Six international union presi dents, forming ' the executive coun cil of the mechanical section, rail way employes departinent of the American Federation of Labor, were responsible for the strike decison.: Closeted for: two days in seer1 session, they remained silent on their actiors until tonight. Declaring that the railroads have acted on a common program to re duce wages and obtain other ad vantages to the carriers, President Jewell's . message pointed out one benefit which may come to the carriers an dtheir employes and to the general public, from the fact that there are national spokesmen , of the conflicting parties who might be able to halt a nation-wide with drawal of men from employment mi the railway service, if the railway executives really desired to avoid this consequence of their previous course of action. "Then for this reason," the tele gram said, "in behalf of and by the authority of the executive council of the railway employes depart ment, I am Anformnmg you and through you I inform the responsi ble heads of the various systems in the United States and also the Pullman Company most of which are represented in the Association of Railwav Executives, that unless an immediate arrangement can be made. "(1). To continue the payment. of the wages at present in force. "(2). To restore operation uinderi rules 6, 10, 12. 14, 15, 46 and 1771, as e they existed prior to the amendment Athereof proposetl in decision 222; andl "(3). To dhircontinue the contract ing work and shops pending dtegotia tions 'between the Association of Ranilway Executives and the railway cnmlloyes departmeint looking towvard adjustment 'of the existing diseputes Supon these questions, a sanction of withdrawal from employment oni July 1, 1922, as voted by the employes, will be unavoidable." .The three reports on which the executives are asked to meet the 'demands are idlentical with three questions on which the unions are ,now completing their strike ballot. 'rhe first ballot covers the $60, 000,000 wage cut ordered by the board, eff'ective July 1. The second ballot involves seven rules regard f ing overtinte and property; phy ,sical examinations, fought prmin, pally by the union because they wiped out time and one-half pay for overtime and Sunday wvork. The third strike question involved the practice of numerous roaras in farrning our~ certain work, dleclared to be in order to avoid the rulings on wages and working conditions by the federal labor board. .125,000 ENLISTED MEN Washington, June 27.-Congres sIonal action on the annual army sppropriatlon bill providing for an average army for the coming year ,t~ 125,000 enlisted men and 12,000 e*flers was completed today tlrough final adoption by the Sen ate of the conference report on e megsure.

Wilson, iresiding judge: We have passed on Ill indictments handed us by the olicitor. Committees appointed at .he March term of court will make heir reports at the Fall term. Complaints have been made to the 3rand Jury in regard to the manage nent; of the County chain gang, and hese will be imvestigated and reported mn at the Fall term of court. It appears from our investigation )f the case against Frank Washing on for transporting whiskey, that the Iriver of the automobile in which this .vhiskey was being transported, is a ife term prisoner on the chain gang md when arrested had a considerable luantity of whiskey on his own per son. There are conflicting statements Pron oflicers of the County in regard o the ownership of this car and the :lisposition which has been made of t. In order to clear i) all misunder standing in regard to the matter, we recontmmendl that the car be sold for Nash and the proceeds turned into the County Treasury. In our opinion, too much leniency has been shown to prisoners on the hain gang. We recomnmend that hereafter no prisoners be allowed to leave caip except when it. is neces sary for hint to do so in the pertor mance of a duty or duties asigned him by an oflicer in charge. We recom mend that trusty's be limited to the smallest number possible. The supervisor has shown us plans and estimates for repairing the jail, an appropriation has been made for this work, but a sufficient amount has not yet been received from taxes to pay for the work. In view of the ur gent need for these repairs, we recom mend that the Supervisor borrow the necessary amount if possible and have the repairs made immediately. We thank your Ionor for all cour tesies extended to us. C. R. Sprott, Foreman.

A pproximately three hundred voters attended the meeting and a large portion rentined until the last speaker had been heard. Senator George K. Laney, of Chesterfield County, who is offer ing for Governor of the State, took a major .portion of his time today to a demial of the report which is current that he is an active sup porter of former Governor Blease and denounced emphatically the per sonl who had started this false rumor as a "cowardly cur." Ir. Laney turned to his opponent.; on the platfore and Cxoneratel them of any connection with this report, and referred to the and; enee his public record in the legi.. lative halls of South Carolina as the best proof that he could offer im refutation of this statement. Mr. I aney invited investigation of his public record and private life and declared that in n1o way had h" ever aligned himself with forme. Governor Bilease other than at tinos when he thought it was to the beoi interests of South Carolina and her citizens. "I am not, nor have I ever been : supporter of the politics 'of Cole L.
