TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 5, 1?J22.
A NEW ORDER NEEDED.
i he world war dealt a neavy oiow
to the present day civilization; in
fact, it is still reeling under the effects
of that titanic contest. Another
great conflict of the nations would
matk the beginning of a return to the
dark ages, many persons believe, an i
we do rot think they are far wrong.
But, the present danger that confronts
us, the constant and increasingly
bitter struggle between the elements
in our society commonly identified
as capital and labor, is so seriou.,
that it threatens to disrupt the eco.
nomic fabric of the United States, as
well as Germany, France and England.
Unless there is perfected soni
arrangement" to avert these crises in
the comparatively near future, civili
zation will be extinguished by thesi
internal forces as surely and as completely
as it would be by a repetitioi
of the Armageddon of 1914-1918.
Attorney General Daugherty's re:me
of the situation brought about
by the shopmen's strike, in his motion
for an injunction against the striking
' mployes and their sympathizers, i o
ght-compelling document. I'
least to some extent, the
vf* biic ikuuv, (iuvau\
:ght by the eight weeks strike of
the tradesmen. It is unnecessary tj
pe.'t here the fac ts he cited, but attention
can be directed to the destructiveness
and waste occasioned by thq
walk out of these 400,000 railroad
workers by his declaration that the
transportation system would have to
be rebuilt, and that one-half of the locomotives
usually operating in this
country are now out of commission.
The serious results of the shopmen's
strike are insignificant when
compared with what would be the
condition if there were a general
riltc of the transportation workers,
di t? paralysis of the railroad
w u'd be followed by sutTern
- that would be indescribable. Thai
be combined railroad unions have it
their power to stop practically
'* wheel in the country in a moment's
notice is not to be gainsaid.
Furthermore, the status of the men
not now on strike as a result of the
shopmen's decision to fight the labor
uuaru s runnp, is not nxea. mere is
dynamite in the existing condition.
The trackmen have filed a request for
a $2 a day increase in wages, and the
officers of this organization have already
been empowered by vote of the
membership to call a strike, whenever
they deem it expedient. The
c uestion of the working conditions
and wages of the members of the run
ning trades, popularly called the "Rig
4" is yet to be settled. These men,
the engineers, foremen and conductors,
especially, are the keystone
of the transportation structure. If
they stop work, trains will stop running.
And, when the trains stop
running, industry will come to a halt
leaving this country in wretchedness
and anarchy, such as Is associated
with the bolshevist regime in Russia.
It behooves those who are entrusted
with the guidance of the nation's des
tiny to bend all their energies t>
bringing forth a new order in our industrial
relations. The old system,
showing signs of breaking up today,
is pregnant with fearful possibilities.

Steps for Traffic Control
Shnnghair, Sept. 5.?One outgrowth
of a police report, whicn
shows that in the first twelve months
of the year 1,009 traffic accidents occurred
in the thoroughfares of the
international Settlement in which 33
were killed and 471 injured, is that
new and more drastic traffic regulations
were brought into force by
the municipal council.
As the bulk of traffic accidents
were due to improper riding on street
cars the new regulations, among other
things, prohibits riding on the
steps of cars.

Cotton Spinning
Industry Progressing
Tokio, Sept. 5.?According to investigations
carried out by the department
of Agriculture and Commerce
the cotton spinning industry
in China has been making rapid
progress in recent years. At present
there are 09 spinning mills with 1,870,000
spindles and 10,800 weaving
looms working. The annual output
of the spinning mills in China is estimated
at 800,000 to 1,000,000 bales
of yarn and 3,200,000 yards of cotton
fabrics. Besides these,, 109 factories
are now in course of construction
and when they are completed
31200,000 additional spindles and 16,000
loom$ will be working. China's
producing capacity of cotton will thus
be increased to something like 1,700,000
bales and that of cotton fabrics to
X,000,000 yards in the course of a
year or two. At present, 31 spinning
mills in China are operated by Japanese,
5 by foreigners other than
Japanese, and 109 by Chinese.
It is estimated that when all the
spindles now under construction are
in operation the yearly consumption
of raw cotton will amount to 11,000,000
piculs.
Supervising The
Exchanges in Canada
Livestock commission men in Canada
are coming under some new regulations
which may have been stimulated
by our new law respecting
stockyards but are different in principle.
The new Canadian regulations
are hoinpr imposed by the livestock
exchanges, after approva 1 by the
Live Stock Branch of the Canadian
Department of Agriculture. They
require a license for an exchange for
each ' commission house, a bond of
$10,000 given to the government for
protection of shippers of stock, and
a separate bank account for each
commission form into which receipts
from sales are deposited and out of
which the firm may check only for
designated purposes, including, of
course, the purpose of maldng payments
to shippers.?The nation's

Tolbert Republicans Meet
Only One White Man Was Present at
the Meeting.
Sii$ter Item, Sept. 1.
The Republican of Stamter county
v:ho a filiated with the Tolbert faction,
which has the recognition of the
HaWlng administration and Is classed
as the regular organization In South
Carolina, held a meeting in thia city
Wednesday that was attended by
quite a large number of negro leaders
of various sections of the county.
There was only one white man in attendance,
according to reliable reports?y.
Madison DesOhhmps of '
I PfHMirood^ah'i he remained until the
' meeting adjourned.
It is stated that the speaker who

Cther things declared that he "lived
in hope of seeing the day when a ne'

and live in the White House." The
meeting was quiet and orderly and
t attracted little attention. No infor.
\ mation respecting the proceedings or
action taken has been given out.
There is a rumor, however, that DesChamps
may be put up as a candi;
date for congress on the Republican
ticket against the Democrataic incum
bent, H. P. Fulmer. DesChamps, it
will be remembered, was a candidate
for the nomination for governor In
the Democratic primary a few years
ago. At the close of the primary, in
which he received only a few votes, ho
announced in the press that he had
gone over to the Bull Moose party.

which is anti-Tolbert, took no part in

Dedicate Monument to Brazil
Washington, Sept. 5.?A massive
monument, known as "Friendship,"
and presented to Brazil by the United
Stated Committee for Brazilian Memorial,
will be dedicated shortly after
the opening of the centennial ex-|
position at Rio Thursday.
The statue, erected through donations
by American business leaders
interested in improving commercial
relations between the United States
and Brazil, measures 25 meters and
48 centimeters in height and resemblts
in design the statue of Liberty.
John L. Merrill, chairman of the
memorial committee, who inaugurated
the movement to present Brazil
with a lasting memorial as "as an
expression of friendship on the part I
of tha United States," received the
approval of Secretary of State
Hughes for it before public contributions
were asked. ' (
The "selected design for the memorial
consists of a colossal figure
in bronze, symbolic of Friendship',
holding in her right hand a sprig of
1 a u rel^and^^^o^t irig^ with her left
palm, imncatlve of prosperity and
peace. The main figure is supported
on an impoting pedestal of stone, enriched
with has reliefs and at the
base are four standing figures. There
is inscribed a statement that the
monument is the gift of the American
people. Charles Keck, of New
York, is the sculptor.
A site'for the memorial was provided
by the Brazilian government
nn the ^venida Presidente Wilson
near the harbor. The committee
which arranged details in this country
was formed to act for the American
Chamber of Commerce in Brazil
in securing nation wide support
throughout the United States.

Silk Manufacturers
Warned of Ruin
Yokohama, Japan, Sept. 5.?Japanese
raw silk marmfaeturera who
recently decided to withhold thirty
per cent of their output from' the
i DKunama marxec nave been warned
by American buyers that this artificial
stimulation of the trade might
lead to its itdn. A paper prepared
by Mr. C. E. Douty, General Manager
of the United States Testing company
and read at a meeting of sericulturiBts
and reelers explained how
this ruin might be brought about by
the use of substitutes unlets the Japanese
could bring down prices by the
means of labor saving devices.
Explaining that the imports to and
production in the United States of
artificial silks had increased nearly
sixfold in nine years and that-Ubre
factories were being built he declared
that prices must decline. He added:
"The filature men of Japan cannot
more effectively play their industry
into the hands of their rivals than
by devoting their energies, skill and
business sagacity to the artificial
strlcting the supply of raw sHke below
the normal demand or by esMblishing
a fixed minimum price for export
as was done in 1920. The fact
that the New York market begins
nt. ahovp S.ftflO Mrti fcrnilfi
be evidence that the American manufacturer
cannot longer make and sell
silk goods to the American public at
prices based upon raw silk above that
figure. He could in 1919 and 1930
when the prices of finished goods
continued to rise.
"The action .of the market in feucent
months would seem to indicate
that with a uniform stable market
between 1,800 yen and 2,000 yen the
American manufacturer can do a fair
business but above that he cannot
meet competition with other fabrics.
In cotton, artificial silk, and mercerized
cotton, the cost of raw material
constitutes from 16 to 30 per eettt of
the entire cost of the finished fabric.
In silk, it is approximately 80
percent of the cost of the finished
fabrics. This causes the silk manufacturer
to be more sensitive tot
fluctuations in the raw material than
other classes of textiles."
Freight War Resumed

months and ended with a general
agreement by American, British.

that operate vessels in these
treacherous waters. Then the agreement
was broken and the rate war
was resumed.
The slashing of rates developed
when a considerable number of new

Chunking and IchSng. When the
rate war opened fourteen steamers
were actively competing for business,
exclusive of Standard Oil and Asiatic
