A mill executive, 1 i. .'nmcntjrg on the situation in the I ' -. \;:lc industry today, said a num- 1 !> {' of e cecytives have made up their 1 minds hat the best thing to do us ! ../tj.d.ite and salvage what values 1 'J.cy can, rather than attempt to'conoperations, knowing that in the 1 wo of present conditions they can - ly further pile up losses by contin.ing operations. Plants which are lot profitable and which cannot be irofi table under present conditions ire going to be closed, which means .hat many thousand* of mil! curatives will be thrown out of work. If ever there be a time for a strike, most certainly this is not the time. The mill executive, after summarizing conditions in the textile industry, said: "In the face of all this, Mr. (lorman comes out and says we will have the greatest textile strike a little later the country has ever seen. How in the world can people make such statements or mislead employes when the mills are fighting for existence? These labor leaders demanding strikes only means that they want their own coffers filled and the operatives can starve, so for as they are concerned." The above are things the Obesrver hopes its mill worker readers will fully consider before determining what their course shall be. Will they follow leadership as unwise as dorman's has been? Or, will they stick to their jobs and co-operate with the e\ccuti\rs to pull the textile indus ry out of the bag in which it is mired down at present?

Rubbing It In During the past hour seven enormous "trucks bearing the name of the Motor Freight Lines, Kansas City, Mo., have passed westbound and apparently heavily loaded . . . there has also passed one marked "Scott County Ginned Goods" from Indianapolis and lo and behold if just this moment another one of the Kansas City Poultry Company did not labor up the hill in front of our house ... I can see no justification for these trucks being permitted to transport freight over thousands of miles of highway through states to which they do not contribute one penny for up keep . . . in competition/ with railroads which are heavily taxed for every mile of their right-of-way in addition to the expense of upkeep . . . there may be some excuese for short hauls by trucks, due to the saving in time and the convenience . . . but even so I believe they should be taxed to a point that more equitably bear a proportionate share of the cost of highway maintenance . . . which in turn will necessitate a rate more in line] with that charged by railroads . . .1 .interstate trucks should be made to pay a tax in every state through I which they pass . . . under the present scheme of operation in New York I state, the railroads are not only heavily taxed in every township through which they pass, but they are obliged to bear half the cost of the grade crossing eliminations for the benefit of their competitors, the truckmen ... if that isn't rubbing a body's nose in the dirt I don't know what is.?LeRoy News-Gazette. I Accidentally Killed By Gun Jake Jones, a seventeen-year-old colored lad was shot, while out rabbit hunting one day this past week. He with several other boys had been hunting and had sat down to rest, when Buddy Jones pranking with a gun had the misfortune of having it go off, the shot taking effect in the chest of Jake instantly killing him. Both were from the plantation of Mrs. M. T. Gettys in West Watereo. A coroner's inquest was held.
