Another clause would fix penalties cf fifteen years’ imprisonment am: $15,000 fines for use of force, vio lence or threats against tpersdns re maining at work in moving interstate commerce. The measure was referred to the Senate interstate commerce committee, and Senator Poindexter said he hoped Congress would act promptly. “I don’t know what Congress can do now,” he said, “but 1 hope for prompt action to make conspiracies to freeze and starve tin* American people unlawful.”- Would Not Be Effective Senator Nelson, Republican, of Alin nesota, said the remedy proposed by (he Washington senator would never he effective, unless executed in con nection with court injunctions. He said it is too late after a deed fy accomplished to sny that the men committing it should be placed in prison. Senator Poindexter charged that tiie present strike is nothing iesj, than revolution and declared the government should act immedi ately. "What we need in Spidi an emer gency is a little of the sort of action taken in other crisis of a similar character by men of the type of Wash ington, Jackson, Cleveland and Roose velt." he said. Bolshevism. Says, Poindexter “All of this is ‘said 10 be because Joseph Grunan. a switchman, was dis charged,” Senator Poindexter con tinued. “In other words, the outlaw unions claim the right to dictate the management of the railroads, and in order to enforce this claim they are willing to throw their fellow work men throughout the country out of work, to bring the entire community to want and suffering, and to cut off tiie food Supply of the nation. It is bolshevism pure, ami simple. It is backed up by every anarchist and rev olutiimisl. alien or domestic, both qf the outdoor and parlor variety. “If the management of the railroa<]f is to be taken over by the employes in defiance of the government and the people, and*the control of commerce Is to be secured by the revolutionary means of cutting off supplies from Hie people, then Congre-.s has been divested of its power and fro govern ment is suspended and government by- dictation of an outlaw labor union substituted in its place.” ■, In the interest of peace and order, and in the protection of the functions cf the government itself, the Wash I « Mifgtou senator said the “revolution ary organization which l b trying to enforce its demands by cutting off food supplies from the nation should be required to submit its industrial {complaints to government tribunals which are avaiiuoie tor that purpose." Conspiracy, Says Mr. Edge Several ether senators joined in the I discussion. Senator Edge, Republican New Jersey, declared the strike seem ed to be a “conspiracy and urged legislation providing criminal pen alties against men leaving employ ment and ciippling transportation “without due and .reasonable notice.” Senator Thomas; Democrat. Colo rado. also declared the strike seemed well organized, and. he believed, to rorre government ownership of rail roads. "There is nothing haphazard about it," said Mr. Thomas. “It is thorough ly organized and systematized and de signed to punish 110,000,00’) people s 0 seriously as, to compel them to ac quiesce in any measure which may ho demanded by the extremists." JMmy grants by Congress to organ izod labor of “privileged" demands were deplored by Senator Thomas, who said wage increases given rai’- rcad employes by the government had been used in government ownership propaganda. He also said some of the “sinister popaganda” for goven 'meat owneship had come front Rus sian sources. Senator Frelinghuysen. Republican New Jersey, denounced the strike, de claring it threatened the public with starvation and "has almost reached tiie stage of red revolt, of revolution." He deplored the failue of Congre.-s to enact the Cummins anti-strike biT.

This fluctuation rule was suspended by Hi.! exchange in the case of March contracts from March 22nd to March 25th inclusive, owing to apprehen sions that it might give rise to claims of an unintentional failure to make deliveries' of actual cotton or proper ly complete the terms of the con tract. It seems that such apprehen sions had developed out of a misun derstanding of the exact character of the New York contract and trading rules providing for a penalty of 25 points above the spot price in the case of an unintentional default. The existance of' the - impression in the South and elsewhere, that shorts of maturing eontraej-s might avoid de liveries without incurring severe penalties, was brought to the atten tion of the exchange authorities by the Bureau of Markets in a letter renuesting exact information.

PHONE 796 t ADVERTISEMENT Notice to Citizens Florence SUBJECT: .Modern and Efficient Hotel Accommodations ft T ❖ % The Chamber of Commerce, with commendable vigor and manifesting a splendid faith in the future of our City, has undertaken, with free eats, splendid music and good speeches, to organize a corporation with which at the an nounced expense of FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS OR MORE to erect a new, splendid and com modious hotel to meet the present needs of the community in this respect. To those to whom this advertisement is addressed it is npt necessary for me to dwell upon the almost prohibitive expense incident to the erection and equipment of such a betel nor the length of time necessary to erect and equip it. Those who are in reality interested in this matter are already familiar with these things. Neither the hotel business nor the needs of Florence are neW to me. I have lived here for many years, during practically all of which time I have been in the hotel busi ness. I realized the needsvof Florence for additional hotel ac comodations and had consulted an architect and contractor before anything was said by the Chamber of Commerce on this subject, with a view to enlarging, partially remodl- mg, more efficiently equipping and beoutifying the present Hotel Florence, so that it might meet every heed of t h e community for many years to come. In order to save my property, as an investment and to meet the community’s needs, which I recognize, I am now determined to go forward with my plans and expend ap proximately ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS on my present property in adding one hundred bed rooms, fireproofing and equipping all rooms with hot and cold bath, heat and lights, in converting the mezzanine floor into reception rooms, ladies’ lobby and orchestra balcony and in generally renovating and rejuvenating the property. To this end and in. order to raise funds with which to carry out these plans I have decided to incorporate my property, putting in the present building, equipment and contents at the sum of ONE HUNDRED AND SEVENTY-FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS and selling the capital stock at the par value* of ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS per share to such an amount as will raise the funds necessary to con summate my plans. I will apply for a charter for a corporation with an □ uthorized capital stock of THREE HUNDRED THOU SAND DOLLARS, put in my present plant and as an in ducement to the subscription to the stock I will guarantee to the purchasers an eight (8®») per cen annual dividend for a period of five years, absolutely, and will sell to any individual or syndicate as much of the entire capital stock as he or they may want provided that when the manage ment of the property passes out of my hands the guarantee as to dividends shall immediately cease and upon the fur ther condition that before any of the stock should be sold I have the refusal of the same. The returns on the investment will not necessarily be . limited to the eight per cent guaranteed, but will be cumu lative: that is, if the businessearns more than eight per cent it will be ratably distributed. Then Florence will have a five hundred thousand dollar hotel, costing not more than three hundred t h ousand dol lars, built, equipped, furnished and operating, not only meeting the evefy need of the City, but in addition furnish ing to those who invest a safe, fair and sure return for the • use of their money. The details of enlarging, remodeling, equipping and beautifying may be had on application to .(Signed) W. R. BARRINGER. x ♦> x V ♦ I
