Washington, April 14.—Legislation
j to deal with the railroad strikes was
proposed by Senator Poindexter .Re-
! publican (Washington), who intro-
jduced a bill providing ten years im
prisonment and $10,000 lines for. per-
scn a who advise, solicit or persuade
others to join in strikes which inter-
feie with interstate commerce.
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.

New York, April 14.—Correspond
enco between the Federal Bureau of
Markets and officials of the New
York Cotton Exchange wliicii has jus*
been made public here, indicate
that tiie suspension of tiie rule limit
ing daily fluctuations in futures Vj 200
points, may not be resorted to again
in tiie ease of maturing contracts.
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.
Replying to the inquiry. Leopold

SUBJECT: .Modern and Efficient Hotel Accommodations
ft

❖
%
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.
