Coal Shortage 1 Nearthg Crisis Use of Power iit State May 1 -Have to Be Curtailed . j Columbia. Augv i:0.?Conditions as regard the coal supply are so acute in South Carolina and in the entire country that the useless or unnecessary use of hydro electric ;power for heavy electric signs, white ways, street lighting and pos sibly moving picture shows will nave to be stopped, Frank W. Shealy, chairman of the railroad com mission,'said yesterday upon hb* return from Washington. Mr. Shealy was deeply impress ed with the acuteness of the situa tion and he was most emphatic in his statement that unless the strict est economy was practiced suffer ing might result. Mr. Shealy has been in Washington for over a week and there he saw. daily the great emergency. Hundreds of officials are crowd ing into the capital in an effort to get coaL South Carolina is pos sibly as well off as any of the states, Mr. Shealy found. The sit uation is bad all over the country. "The supply of coal, so far as the nation is concerned, is . less than [ has ever been known." Mr. Shealy ^declared. While in Washington he ! -made temporary arrangements with i [xhe. federal... fuel., administrator, that if maintained. wilL prevent ac tual suffering in South Carolina. [ r^ithont the observance of this ^agreement, there, is . \ bound to be* suffering,' Mr.. .Sheaiy said; Even under this-arrangement some of the lower class industries.will, likely be forced to shut - down. Chairman * Shealy pointed out.. The following statement was -.made by Chairman Shealy upon his return: "Conditions will be much bene fited with the thorough cooperation of i the. public, which even. under present arrangements is absolutely . ^necessary to prevent inconvenience and. actual suffering during , the winter months tc many of the citi zens, of this state. It is my opinion at this time that aU useless or un necessary use of hydr?-electric pow er now.,used in heavy electric signs.' white . ways, unnecessary .street lighting, possibly moving picture ' shows and.things of that kind, will ^necessarily have to be dispensed With.. . . "Along this line the'public can give much; cooperation to the gov ernor and the railroad commission in relieving the conditions above stated. Some of the lower classed industries no doubt will have to close down as has already been done in many instances in the greater portion of the United States. The diversion of the hydro-electric power used at this time for what would be termed as non-essentials will- greatly aid. How long this state of affairs will exist no one seems to be able to prophecy. "The cotton oil mills, as food producing utilities have the prom- j ise, under present conditions, of " *>ne-third of their normal supply. As to gas plants, ice plants and similar utilities it .is hoped to main tain continued operation, allowing where possible hjrdro electric pow er to be substituted in place of steam. It may become necessary thai a portion of these utilities -will have to be put on short time where it "is possible to do so. "What should be done and what is expected of the public is not to be stampeded but to cooperate withj the governor and the commission and every effort should be used to j obtain other fuel for domestic and \ other purposes, where wood can be f used." Rules and regulations governing the distribution of what coal be comes available will be given to the " public at the earliest possible time. Mr* Shealy has undertaken to place the facts as they actually exist so that the public may know the se rious state of affairs that it is facing now. Mr- "Shealy was able to get certain rules adopted by the federal \ committee that were in use by. his j own committee prior to .the issu- t ance of regulations by the federal j distributor that will have a ten-1 dency to do away with a great V amount of red tape, but accurate figures must be furnished to ihe state distributor or results will not be what the}' would otherwise. G0MPERS criticises presidentI Labor Leader Thinks Harding Selects. Unfortunate Time For Delivery of Message Washington. Aug. 19.?Samuel Oompers. president of the Ameri-I can Federation of Labor, expressed j the opinion today that President I Harding had added to the difficul-j ties of the present industrial situa tion by his message of yesterday and likewise had chosen an unfor tunate time for its delivery. The labor.chief, in a critical dis cussion of the president's message, announced that his organization would oppose any legislation car- r rying out the suggestions that the railroad labor board be given pow er to enforce its decisions or to al low the federal government to pun ish crimes against aliens such as those alleged to have been com mitted during the Herrin, 111., mas sacre, while he described the pres ident's proposals for legislation to control coal distribution as "prob ably impractical." Improvement in Business Tone Undercurrent of Quiet Strength in Markets?Due to Lahor Outlook . ?-??. New York, Aug. 20.?While the past week has brought .little real new* of a constructive nature, hopes for a speedy settlement of existing labor controversies have mounted higher, and the country's leading markets have shown an un dertone .of quiet strength. JFailure/ of France and England to. come to an.._agreement on the German question ., had an adverse effect here. Some anxiety was also occasioned by delay in announcing an agreement for settling the coal Strike, .which had been expected hourly in. the closing days of last week.. Fear that other railroad brotherhoods might join the shop men's-strike -jfdded another cause for alarm. , Several favorable influences soon turned sentiment into more op-! timistic channels, however. Among them was the news from Cleve-j land that a basis had been reached for a soft coal strike settlement, calling of a meeting at Philadel-j phia.to settle the anthracite diffi- j culty and agreement of the rail-! road executives to meet the leaders i of the "Big Four" brotherhoods in j an effort to find a solution, for thej shopmen's problem. More hopeful j news, from abroad and a. favorable j cotton consumption report also had j a stimulating effect. Tension in the steel industry has been relieved to ascertain extent j by partial resumption of coal min ing; particularly in the Connells- ! yille district- Nevertheless, the' pace became slower during the! week, and difficulty in securing coal j supplies will have a crippling effect j for the remainder of the year, it is j thought.. From a high point of 80; per cent early in the summer the; Steel Corporation's rate of opera- j tiqns has dropped-to around 60 per' cent of capacity. Independent com- ! panics are running.at only about j 50 per cent of capacity. Prices! meanwhile, are advancing. Coal loadings Increased substan- j tially, -thus reflecting, the stren-1 uous efforts being made by the car- | riers to overcome the effects of i the coal shortage. Large gains"inj miscellaneous and merchandise j loadings a year ago indicate that] the general trade is showing con- j siderably more activity. Had coalj loadings been up to normal for the j season total loadings would have i exceeded by a good, margin those of .any week since the autumn of 1921, when an unusually heavy j srain movement taxed the capacity i jf the roads. 4\ Commodity markets were influ- i ?ncedv greatly by the course of j events on the other side of the j water. Pessimism over the fail ure of the allies to agree on the j reparations program, accompanied j by weakness in foreign exchange, ] had an adverse effect on both cot- j ton and wheat early in the week, ? this coupled with the usual mid- I harvest ease forcing the price of wheat beneath the dollar mark. Some recovery was had later on; export buying, attracted by the de- j sline. Cotton made progress dur- { ing the week. An. encouraging*feature was the; government's report on consump- j tion for the past year, which \ showed that the mills of the coun- t try, used up a million bales more! than last year. The carryover into j the present crop year, furthermore, I was only 2,800,000 bales as com- ? pared with .6,500,000 a year ago. 1 Phis abnormally low carryover, to- j get her with prospects for a short | ?rop, suggests the possibility of a! scarcity of the staple. Money was easier, the ruling rate fox.call funds in this market get-j ting down to 3 per cent against an J average of 3 lr2. per cent a week j before. CapiLii offerings, never-1 theless, showed a further decline, j :otaling $15.000,000, as against ?20.000,000 last week. Absence of | sew issues in volume and a plen-j :itude of money imparted stregnth o theb ond market. The week's -eport of the federal* reserve system shows a small increase in bill hold- j ings, but bills discounted for mem- J !>er banks decreased, which shows j Jiat the commercial banks are able j ;o handle the business of the coun- j ry in its present volume without strain Pisgah News and Views. Pisgah. Aug. 21.?The last three] tveeks have been terrible on the >. cotton and to -save fodder. The \ rain has fallen ineessently. The j boll weevils have taken possession j >f the cotton. I counted fifteen | igrown and small in a white bios- J ?om and the ground in places is lit- j -rally covered wih young bolls and | ?quarex. I doubt if this county j hakes more than 12,000 bales if it i s as bad all over as it is through :his section. So. we see the des perate condition of cotton. Where a the money coming from to pay iebts, taxes and other expenses, .vhen cotton is the only money *rop? One blessing the other ?ro])s are fairly good through here.

' I j Young Kershaw Negro Given Freedom During Good Be havior Columbia, Aug. 20. ? Governor Harvey yesterday paroled Bennie Carlos, young negro boy, convict ed of involuntary manslaughter in Kershaw county for the killing of Edward Brown, a cousin, the gov ernor having announced last Mon day that he would extend clemency to the young negro yesterday. The parole was during good be havior and was the first to be granted by the governor since he was inaugurated May 20. The gov ernor announced his intention early in the week to parole Carlos in or der that any one having objections might voice, them. Several letters were received by the chief executive in reference to the case, but all were favorable to the cause of Carlos. Charles W..Birchmore, ed itor, wrote that he thought clem ency was deserved as the killing was supposed to have been acciden tals Carlos and his cousin, Edward Brown, were playing about the home of the former when a gun was discharged and Brown killed.

COAST LINE STRIKE BULLETIN Shop Force Now Sixty-four! Per Oat. of Normal and I Service <Jood Wilmington, X. CY, Aug. 17.? [ "The following statement was is sued to the public from the. general J otfice.s of the Atlantic Coast Line j Railroad Company at Wilmington ! today: . . [' "General conditions over the en- | tire system steadily improving. In f the last eight days six hundred and , seventeen new employees have been ; taken into the service at our various | shops, a large proportion of which j. are skilled.men; most of them left; other employment to secure work I with this company at prevailing j rates of pay which are those es tablished by the United States Rail road Labor Board effective July first, 3 922. This brings the total force of men up to sixty-four per cent of the force employed in the shops oa July 1st when the strike took place. At more than twenty points on the system the normal J force is at work. At many other points the force is from seventy five to ninety-five per cent normal. '"Total number of men now em- j ployed in shops, 3,702. "Percentage of normal force, 64.0 per cent. "Old men remaining in service | and strikers returned to work, 753. "New men employed, 2,949. ' "Inspection and repairs to loco- j motives and cars are being well maintained by the force now at work which is amply sufficient to [ take care of the situation, although ' the .volume of freight traffic being handled is about fifteen per cent greater than last year. "During the month of July 93 j per cent of the passenger trains maintained their schedules. The entire movement of. perishable freight, consisting of more than four, thousand cars most of which j originated on the lines of this com pany, "was delivered .on time at destination. All other freight was handled promptly. . There is no ac ! cumulation at any terminal or on [the line of road." Cuba Told To Keep Aliens Out of United States I Smuggling Brings Note From State'Department Washington,' Aug. 20."?Repre sentations have been made to the Cuban government by the state de partment looking to steps. to pre vent further smuggling of Chinese and European aliens from the is land republic into" the United States. In a note transmitted through the Cuban legation here the Amer ican government is understood to have takea^ the position that fronv the number, of aliens admitted to, Cuba, and the fact that , there isT said to be no employment avail able there for them, it appears evi dent that entry to Cuba is obtain ed upon the belief that eventually the 'aliens can be smuggled into this country. . Creation of "entry barriers" by Cuba, it is believed, by the depart ment of labor officials charged with; enforcement of immigration laws, would go a long way toward ridding j the United States of its smuggling j difficulties. It is - understood to have been at the suggestion of Sec retary Davis of the labor depart ment that the representations were made. Ears will be worn this fall. We don't know if they will be used.

DOINGS OF THE DUFFS HA-HA'HA- \ ? /"THA" ICARELESSNESS CAUSE OF AUTO ACCIDENTS (Charlotte Observer, Aug. 20) If every automobile driver will adhere strictly to the code of giving the. car. on the right the right-of way, many of the fatal automobile accidents that shock the readers of the daily papers every day can be avoided. . / "Xo automobile driver should be compelled to watch both sides of the street," says one authority. "The rule of .the road, both in the city and in the open country, is that the driver on the right has the right-of way .and. there should be a severe punishment for any person who vio lates that rule." "The increasing: number of auto mobiles that congest traffic in the. cities brings more and more to the front the Question of right-of-way. but unfortunately it is not always observed. There is always the fel low who is willing to take a chance in order to display his driving skill or to show off before some fair com panion and this type of driver should be the target for every po^. | liceman's attention.
