Benton Young, of Florence, one of the di rectors of the association, announc ed the plans for the convention upon returning to the city this morning from ? Charleston, where the second conference was held yesterday. i In the meeting yesterday in Charleston, a division arose be tween the coastal section and the Pee Dee trucking interests. Uncer tainty as to how their operations could be co-ordinated, in view of the difference in seasons, appeared in the deliberations. Mr. Young and other officers of the association hope this may be overcome in the conference here. Two of the biggest distributing companies' representatives will be here for the. meeting. C. W. Carety, of Charleston, vice presi dent of the South Carolina Pro duce Exchange, and M. S. Foster, of Pittsburg, P:~, 'of the American Fruit Growers, will outline to the meeting the advantages of one or ganization as against every local undertaking to operate its own ex change. Chief among these ad vantages^ as stated by Mr. Young, are the control of movements of produce into .markets and assem bling large quantitie? for shipment from the field. The meeting will be called to or der at 11 o'clock in the county court house. . Delegations are- ex pected from all the local truck ex changes and the big independent growers through this .section. Prob ably 75 or 1#0 of the leaders of these activities in the state w4U be present for the occasion. Much interest has been aroused in the proposed organization, which seems likely now to continue to a successful termination, in the opin ion of Mr. Young. AGAINST CUT ?? -,INV WAGES Jewell Sees No Decrease in Living Expenses Chicago, April ^6.-?Closing his; arguments today before the rail road Libor board in protest against, a wage decrease for shop craft em ployes, B. M- Jewell, representing the shop, craft men, declared liv ing expenses were as high, now as when railroad representatives de clared their employes should be well taken care of in regard to wages. In quoting from statements made by W. D. Higgins, represent-; ing western railroads and John G. Walber, representing Eastern rail roads, Mr. Jewell declared Mr. Higgins had stated in January, 1918, at the first hearing before, the board in "Washington, that shop men who were getting less than $150 a month should not receive a reduction. , He also quoted Mr. Walber as saying that the cost of living had not decreased. "In viewr of those statements," Mr. Jewell said, "how-can the rail roads come before this board and ask a w:age decrease for the shop men when many of them are now receiving less than the minimum, wage set by Higgins?" Representatives of the railroads announced they wouid make their rebuttal to Mr. Jewell's arguments tomorrow. Following Mr. Jewell's state- ] ments, L. S. Whiteman, represent-' ing the American Federation of Railroad "Workers, the members of which are employed mostly on Eastern roads, protested against the proposed wage reduction. Xew Irish Police Organization. Dublin, March 20.?The provis ional government in Ireland is pro ceeding actively with the organiza- j tion of a new police force to take the place of the old Royal Irish Constabulary, notwithstanding the vigorous protest of Eamonn De Va lera. The necessity is regarded as urgent, for any prolongation of uncertainty in . police administra tion affords a ready opportunity to the ordinary criminal. The Royal Irish Constabulary has be^n regarded popularly in Ireland as less a police force for the detec tion and punishment of crime than a branch of the British army of occupation. It has, therefore, not been able to rely, as the police can do in most civilized countries on the support of its activties by the average citizen. Republican police work has hitherto been a function of the Re publican . army, which will in fu ture, when reorganized, become the regular army of the Irish Free State. The new police force will be ex clusively for police work. Spy work will no longer be part of po lice training and the force will not be armed unless in special eases, when revolvers will be carried. The oath which the constables will take is one of loyalty to Ireland and its constitution and it binds the eon stable not to join or subscribe to any political society. Constables arc to receive 70 shill ings a week, and sergeants 100 shillings. Promotion from the ranks will be by competitive exarn in.-ition. The old green police uniform is to be abandoned in favor of a dark blue with slight grey rib marking. A large number of applications has been received from men anx ious to join the new force. Sev ern! hundred recruits already are in training and about 9o per cent of them are members of the Irish Republicn army, including some men who entered that body after resigning from the ranks of the Royal Irish Constabulary. ISAY CAMPAIGN j WILL NOT FAILJ ! Cotton Men From Over State j Attend Columbia Meeting Columbia. April C.?Representa i rives from every cotton-growing J j county in South Carolina except j I three pledged their word at an en-1 thusiastio meeting held here today I that the campaign for the forma-j tion of the South Carolina Cotton Growers' Cooperative Association should not fail. "When, after a speech by J. D. Coghlan, of En nis, Texas, had stirred the work ers present to a high pitch, R. C. Hamer. chairman of the campaign committee, asked those present if they would put the campaign across, the cry, "we will," came from almost every one present. The meeting today was of the workers in the various counties and was called to prepare for "vic tory week," which will be ob served next week in all of the counties, and in which it is plan I ned.to sign up 100.000 bales of cot I ton. The roll was called by coun ties and a specific quota was allot ted to each county, and that coun ty's representative asked if his ' county could be depended upon to sign that quota. In not one in stance was a negative reply re ceived. Many of the workers pledged that their county would go beyond the quota allotted it. J. D. Coghlan, a farmer from Texas, was the principal speaker at the meeting and after describing in detail the operation of the Texas association and telling of the benefits already derived by the farmers of that state, which ben efits, he said, would be greatly in creased when all of the states had organized, he dramatically asked if the farmers of South Carolina were going to join with the farm ers of their sister states, or ;f they were going to continue to sell their cotton under the old system which had bankrupted the south. ? ? ? CHEMISTjS CUT DOWN HUGE S. SHOE BILL New Tanning Discoveries in Labor atory Promise Cheaper Footwear By improved, speedy processes ot tanning leather, chemists are at work today to slice America's an nual billion dollar shoe bill by at least 25 per cent. The enormous cost of keeping he feet of the American people off the ground is strikingly brought out in the March issue ?f Popular Science Monthly by John Walker Harring ton, who quotes the last available census of manufactures to show j that $1,149,560,000 worth of shoes \ are produced annually in the United States. j I "In fact," says Mr. Harrington, j "this sum nearly equals the cost j of providing our daily breaa; for the value of wheat flour made an-1 nually in the United States, accord- i ing to the same census, was $l,-j 430,388.000, or only about $300,000 | more than the sum at which the j boots and .shoes were appraised. "If all the boots and shoes worn j by the men were placed end to end, allowing 12 inches as ihe length of each, they would reach four times around the earth and still there would be enough left to i keep a few regiments on a war footing', "Suppose that some giant cob bler should work all the leather used in all the footgear of the men,: women, and children of this coun try into one big shoe! He would need the entire 800 square miles of the island of Cuba on which to put it. This would not. of course, include the slippers and the babies' shoes, so he would have to save the island of Manhattan in the center of New York for the infant size. "Looking into the future, there is much hope for less costly foot gear in the many , *iw processes for tanning leather quickly that are now perfected by up-to-date chem istry. "With the new methods it is possible to tan some hides iu 24 hours, as compared with the old methods that required three to six month-, and the quality of the goods is as high, and even higher, than it was before science lent a hand in leather manufacture. "New material that can be made available for footwear are also being discovered and developed. Is Giant Mexican Cypress the Oldest Living Thing-? Reputed to be the oldest living thing in the world, a cypress tree standing in the churchyard of the little Mexican town of Santa Ma ria del Tule has the largest trunk Of any known tree, says Popular Science Monthly for March. The diameter of the trunk is GO feet. Twenty-eight people, with arms outstretched and finger tips just touching, can barely reach around the circumference. The diameter exceeds by 14 feet that of the !nrg*-st of the California redwoods, according to Charles J. Chamber lain, of the University of Chicago. America Losing Coal Trade in Ben mark. Copenhagen. March 20.?Imports of American coal into Denmark declined heavily last year and Great Britain again took the lead in Danish markets. In 1920 the Cnited States sup plied about one-half of the L\2o0, 000 tons of coal Denmark import ed but in 1921 that country sup plied less than one-tenth of the total coal imports. ? ? ?

April 6.?Increased employment ranging up to 28 per! cent, over the preceding month ! was reported today to the employ ment service of the department of labor from 43 to 65 representative cities for the month ending March 31. The automotive and allied in dustries, iron and steel and their products and lumber headed the i trades showing improved activity. The net increase for the country figured on reports from 1,42 S firms, was 2.5 per cent. Many of the 22 cities reporting decreases were in the New England states, their re ports showing the results of the textile strikes now in progress. Denver led the reporting cities with an increase in employment in j March of 28.2 per cent., Memphisj being second with 18.it. The I South indicated generally improv ed employment tone during March, the report said, with indications that further progress would be recorded in the next 30 days. Despite some slackness in tex tiles, Virginia industries were more active as a whole and Ihe outlook was considered good. Dumber and fertilizers shared the increase in workers in Georgia during the past month. Atlanta reported a "little improvement in the industries," the demand for labor being about 8 per cent, over that of January. Savannah indicated textiles, lum ber and repair shops more active, but not sufficiently so to assimi- j late all available labor. North Carolina textiles increas-1 ed their forces in March and thei leading cities reported surplus labr being rapidly absorbed. In South Carolina, textiles receded slightly but improvement in lumber and chemical trades more than mad?* good the recession. The housing;' situation in the state has been j much relieved, reports to the em-j ployment service said. Unemployment in Florida was reported as "confined principally to common labor" with the demand for farm help equalling the supply. Hardwood mills in Tennessee are said to be offsetting to some extent the decreased mining activities.; with "unemployment now preval-J ent among skilled rather than un- j skilled laborers." Alabama mines! increased production up to the last i day of the month and marked im-I provement was shown in the iron and steel trades. The outlook prom-: ised a large farm acreage in crops j this season. Cotton mills in Mississippi were, worked full rime with a full force j in March and the n ajority of the' lumber mills were on full rime, re-: ports to the service said. While the improvement in em-j ploymept has been felt only to a limited extent in Louisiana, it was said that a more encouraging out look for the future was evident by the beginning of .seasonal work. - ? ?

April 6.?Predicting that the nations will be in the midst of a bituminous coal famine in six weeks unless the present strike is settled, Philip .Murray, vice presi dent of the United Mine Workers of America, tonight declared "con gress must be blind not to see what the coutry is up against." Mr. Murray's statement was made shortly after John L. Lewis, president of the mine workers' in ternational union, asserted that the refusal of operators in the central competitive field to confer with the workmen, at the invitation of the house labor committee, meant the strike would become a "fight to the finish." In support of his prediction of a famine. Mr. Murray asserted that the stock piles of the country con tain only GO,0O0.000 tons of bitu munious coal, of which 20,000,000 already are in the bins of the con sumer. At the present rate of con sumption of 8.000.000 tons a-week, the 40,000.000 tons will suffice for only another five weeks, according to Mr. Murray's figures. C'laims of the operators that the production of non-union mines would prolong the nation's supply to eight weeks were denied by the union tenders. Latest reports from non-union strongholds, he said, in dicate that 75 per cent, of the noa? union miners would have walked out with the strikers before the week end. Fifty per cent, have aL ready done so, he said. '?In the estimate that, when the present storks are exhausted," he said, "non-union mines will have piled up sufficient fuel for. one more week, then will come an ac tual shortage which will cripple basic industries throughout the country." Mr. Murray cited that the L'nited States St?-el corporation and its subsidiaries in the Pittsburgh dis trict now have only sufficient coal for 72 hours. A shut down of the mills due to lack of coal will throw 2(H).ooo men oui of work, he said. Before the end of the week, he said. I."..odd other met:, in the rail road shop crafts, will have been thrown out idle by suspension of coal hauling trains through the anthracite regions of Pennsylvania, Pittsburgh, April ? "Such a statement is absolutely untrue." said an official of the Carnegie Steel company tonight when shown the New York dispatch in which Vice President Philip Murray of the L'nited Mine Workers of Amer ica stated that the steel corpora tion mills in the Pittsburgh district had bui 72 hours' supply of coal. "While it is true," said the offi cial, "thai several mines of our source rk. We have coal on hand to rim our mills for a < onsid erable period longer than 72 hours, and much more In transit."

FARMER IS SLAIN IN YARD Thomas Duncan Kills Riley Hammond Laurent, April C.?Riley Ham mond, a merchant of the Laurens Cotton Mills village, was shot arid killed this morning by Thomas P. Duncan, a farmer residing near Madden station, about six miles southwest of Laurens, the homicide occurring at the home of Duncan. A single barreled shotgun was used and it is said three shots were fired by Duncan, two of which took ef fect. Hammond lived about 45 minutes after being shot, but so j far as known he made no state j ment. . J s Coroner R. R. ?wings held the inquest this afternoon. Lucius Burns, transfer driver of Laurens, who was at the Duncan home when the shooting occurred, was the only witness examined. ; Burns testified that Hammond call !ed the witness on the telephone j early this morning and" asked him to drive out to Duncan's home and j bring Mrs. Duncan to the city to j jxisit her people. V/hien the witness i arrived at the Duncan home, Ham mond was standing in the yard. Hammond told the witness Mrs. Duncan would be ready in a few minutes. Burns heard loud talk ing in the house and a woman cry ing. He drove his car out toward the barn and then a gun shot was; heard, followed by a second shot.; Hamond came to Burns and said he had been shot and asked Burns to drive him to town. The wuness saw the third shot as Duncan push ed his gun through a ??roken win dow pane and fired upon Uum mond, this proving the fatal shot as Hammond fell in the yard with a wound in the head. The witness said Hammond had a pistol and one time during the enactment of the tragedy lie had it in his hand. Burns and a ne*gro notified Rural Officer Boyd, who later brought Duncan to jail. Duncan had very little to say about the tragedy, the main statement being to the effect Hammond load ruined his home. Duncan and Hammond were part ners in operating the farm on which the former lived. Ham mond was a native of Cross An chor. Spartanburg county, and is ?! survived by his widow and six l/children.
