CHAUFFEURS TO APPEAL
FOR PUBLIC SYMPATHY
Strike to Be Conducted on
Plan Of Posting Congress
and TaxiCab Patrons.

Both. sides in the taxicab strike con-
tention declare confidence in the outcome.
Striking chauffeurs are confident of vic
tory in their demand for better hours and
a fixed salary of $3.50 per day. Officials
of the Terminal Taxicab Company do not
admit any Inconvenience from the strike.
and are as equally confident Of continu-
ing their business without serious inter-
ruption or annoyance to the public.
I'VE have more men than we need" is
the declaration Of the general manager
Of the company. I'VE do not feel any
inconvenience.
Those who quit wanted to change our
system of paying our men. We do not
recognize that there has been any strike
and will not treat at all with the men

CHICAGO. December 20.-Despite the
fact that the big retail stores report thai

biting wind to obtain a tin cup of coffee
and a roll each.
1t was the tenth night that Malcolm
Mcdowell had his coffee wagon out to
feed the hungry unemployed. The re-
suits have shown that this charity is
almost as badly needed as in the hard

they be not another and possibly better
way to secure the same or a better result
ut is the opinion of the Commissioners
that instead of placing a premium on
the carelessness of an operator by the in
stailation of automatic door-locking de-
vices. the operator should be educated,
examined and placed under such super
vision that he will become highly eff
ficient employee.
1.-The Commissioners believe that this
can be done by the passage of legislation
authorizing them to make rules and reg
ulations regarding the operation of ele-
vators. and to provide for the examina-
ton. licensing and registration of ele-
vator operators.
THE Commissioners therefore recon-
mend adverse action on the bill as draft
ed. and request that there be substituted
for this bill the draft of bill entitled
"A bill to regulate the operation of ele-
vators, and the examination, licensing
and registration of elevator operators In
the District of Columbia, and for other
purposes

the District the Commissioners have re-
ported to Congress that they would
rather have law which would insure
a high state of efficiency on the part of
elevator operators.
In a report to Representative S. w.

missioners make an adverse report on a
bill to regulate the construction of ele-
vators introduced in the House recently,
and substitute one which they believe hits

Opinions of Commissioners.

The Commissioners say on the subject:
1.-The general terms and intent of the
bill are to make it a misdemeanor. pun
ishahle by fine, for any passenger ele-
vator to be installed or operated in the
Dristrict of Columbia unless an auto
matte device, to prevent the elevator car
from sbeing moved in either direction
while any gate or door on any platform
is opened or Enclosed is first installed.
No particular deceive is mentioned in the
bill.
THE advisability of such legislation is
open to argument both for and against.

Parliamentary Tactics Futile.

Rather slow progress was made with
the reading of the bill, which is a long
one. because of the fact that some of the
members were anxious to have taken up
pension bill providing pensions for civil
and Mexican war veterans more than
sixty-two years of age. Every parlia-
mentary way that these members. could
think of to have the postal bill disposed
of and the pension bill taken up was re-
sorted to, but without result.
The House did not adjourn, however
without a struggle, two calls for quorum
and three roll calls being necessary be-
fore it was decided to give up, for the
day at least, all efforts to get the pen
sion bill up

The probable advantages would be the
efectual prevention of practically all such
accidents as occur when a passenger or
operator of an elevator is caught between
the stationary platform and either the
moor or the cage of the elevator-an acct
dent which generally results in either
serious mutiation or instant death. It

Evasion Made Possible.

''These automatic devices are usually
Installed with double throw switch con-
nected with them, whereby they may be
thrown out of series with the main switch
or brake and the car run without them
This is done to guard against the neces-
sity of stopping a car until the services
of a skilled elevator mechanic can be Sc
cured. Were automatic devices required
universally it would be an easy matter
to make them imperative, except when
an inspector was expected.
Besides these obvious disadvantages,
consideration must be given to the ques-
ton as to whether the additional cost
imposed upon the elevator service as an
insurance against accident is warranted

new RULE OF THE HOUSE
RETARDS PENSION BILLS
Practical Effect of the Regu-
Iation Governing ''Suspen-
sion Monday" Procedure.

For the first time the House of Repre-
sentatives yesterday put into actual prac-
tice the new rule adopted just before
the close of last session, whereby on
suspension Monday motions to dis
charge a committee from further consid-
GRAFTON of public bill and to place the
bill on the calendar shall have precedence
over motions to suspend the rules and
bring in some particular bill.
Bill Under Consideration.
AS result thereof the reading was be-
gun of bill for the revision and modi-
fication of the postal laws. This provides
for a practical Redistribution of the
postal service and for the appointment of
director general of posts. The latter
would be a permanent official, being sub
ject to dismissal for cause only, and
would be the practical manager of the
entire Post Office Department. This would
not dispense with the cabinet position of
Postmaster General, and the latter would
be the real head of the department., Civ
ing his attention, however. almost en-
tirely to the broader questions of policy
affecting the department..

Some DISADVANTAGES,

Against the legislation should be care
fully considered the increase in the mum.
Der OF attachments to elevators, which
are liable of arrangement; the increased
slowness of operation, which, in a bust
ness building, would probably necessitats
the installation of additional elevators
the difficulty of making repairs, if the de-
vice must be absolutely automatic; the
frequent Interruptions that would occur
by the accidental opening of door wher
the elevator was in use at some Other
floor, and especially the probability of thu
interruption Of operation in case Of fire
thereby making it absolutely impossible
to make any use whatever of tn,
elevator.
'The efficiency Of elevator service
depends on the ease and speed of op-
GRAFTON. One Of the greatest sources
or loss OF time is that taken up in
opening and closing the doors The
experience with elevators in the Dis
trict, which are now provided with an
interlocking device, is that loss of time
and annoyance to owners and passen-
gers are Occasioned by them, because
of the additional time necessary to
handle the gates.
THE devices now in use are not so
durable that they may not be broken
or otherwise put out of adjustment
by slamming or carelessness. In case
of fire or other emergency, when this
would be most likely to occur, the
building would be left without the
services of the elevator. AS majority
of apartment houses have but one ele-
vator, the result might be serious.

CALLED FOR PENSION.
OF Mrs. Marcella SWartz, Who Died
Last December-Mr. Goggans
Wanted Certificate That -.
She Was Living. ,

Last week a man who gave his
name as J. J. Black, claiming to be
from near Remberts in Lexington
county, called on Clerk OF Court Cog
gans and asked for the pension of
Mrs. Marcella Swartz. who was on
the roll of pensioners for Newberry
county. Mr.. Gcggans asked MI,
Black if Mrs. Swartz were living and
he replied that she was unless she
had died since he had left home that
morning.
Mr.. Goggans then informed Mr..
Black that it would be, necessary for
him to get a certificate from two or
more citizens, whom Mr.. Goggans
knew, certifying to the fact that she
was still living and that she had
authorized Mr.. Black to call for her
pension. When informed that this
would be necessary, Mr.. Black polite
ly bade Mr.. Goggans good-morning,
and has not returned for the pension
money of Mrs. Swartz. =
1t so happened that Mr.. Goggans
had seen the notice of the death of
Mrs. Swartz written by her pastor in
the Lexington Dispatch and he had
cutcut this notice out and had it pin
ned to the check for Mrs. Swartz.
It is possible that by not deliver
ing the check to Mr.. Black, Mr.. Cog
gans saved him from committing for
gerry by endorsing the check.

TEACHERS CHOSEN.
Richard Steel Douglas, of Ohio, Prin-
cipal of High SchOOl-Teachers
in Both Schools.

At a meeting of the board of trus-
tees of the NeWberry graded schools
on Thursday evening the following
teachers were elected for the ensu-
ing term:
Principal Of the high school-Rich-
ard Steele Douglas, of Ohio.
Teachers in the high school
Misses Lucille Wilson and Marion
Williamson.
The other teachers: Misses Eliza
beth Dominick, Ruby Holloway, NJ.
c. Burton, Linda Welch, G. L. Can
non, Helen Smith, Mayme Switten-
burg, Vanessa Williams, NJ. L. Bur-
| ton, L. R. Hill, Blanche Camack and
Gertrude Reeder.
Mr.. Douglas, the principal of the
high school, is graduate of Woos-
ter. He is a young man and comes
highly recommended.
At meeting some time ago it will
be remembered the trustees elected
Prof. H. L. Dean as superintendent.
The purpose in efecting the superin-
tendent in advance was that the
board might confer with him in the
election of the teachers.
Prof. Dean and Mr.. Douglas are
graduates of the same college. Prof.
w. A. Stuckey, who has been the
superintendent for several years, did
not apply for reelection. Prof. Dean
has been the principal Of the high
school for the past year. The system
of public schools in Newberry is now
one of the best in the State. 1t be-
came necessary during the last year
to enlarge the buildings and fo: that
purpose the city voted $4,000 worth
of bonds. i s.:
The Pope residence was purchased
and has been remodeled for the Use
of the primary grades, and work is
now in progress on a building for
the high school. This gives Newbercy
two large well-appointed buildings
for the lower grades and modern
and up-to-date building for the high
school department.
Most of the teachers elected by the
board of trustees are now engaged
as teachers in the school.
1t was a matter of very general re-
gret to the entire community that
Mrs. W. Y. Fair, who has taught the
first grade for a long number of
years, and who is one of the most
efficient teachers in the State, was
not reelected.

Have You Been Counted?

The census enumerators will COM
plete their work on Saturday Of this
week. 1t is very important that we
have all of our people counted. The
enumerators for the city say that
they have been very careful and have
endeavored to visit every home in =
city, but it is possible that they may
have missed some. If there are any
who have not been counted if you
will notify The Herald and News or
notify any one of the city enumera-
tors you may be put in the total.
We do not care to have anybody
counted twice, but Newberry ought to
have credit for her full population
and the United States census is the
official standard of population. Re-
member that after Saturday it will be
too late.
