Union Making Effort To Effect
Compromise.
lErom the Lead Belt News.l

There will be no strike before
Thursday and there may not be one
then if the companies make satisfac-
tory answer to request made yester-
day by the national organization
representatives and the local executive
committee of the Weston Federation
of Miners who visited some of the
Lead Companies' local officers and
representatives Thursday and re-
quested that the companies formulate
and submit their best proposition
looking to compromise on or before
next Thursday.
The preliminary move looking to
conference with the st. Joe officials
was the outcome of visit of business
men of Bonne Terre to the Office of
R. R. s. Parsons, superintendent at
Bonne Terre.
The committee after visiting Mr..
Parsons of the st. Joseph and Doe
Run Lead companies came back to
Flat River and submitted their re-
quest to Mr.. Comins of the st. Louis
Smelling and. Refining Company and
Mr.. Desloge of the Desloge Con-
solidated Lead Company. Each of
the managers agreed to place their
request for compromise before the
Board of Directors of their several
companies. Up to the hour of going
to press the com mittee had not called
on Mr.. Guess of the Federal.
Pending the receipt of this answer
the men will continue to work under
the existing conditions and at the
prevailing wage. National Executive
Board Representative Davidson and
Organizer Roderick Mackenzie with
the members of the local executive
committee met Thursday at the Union
Hall in Bonne Terre and determined
to make a final effort to avert a
strike.
The vote of the men on strike last
Tuesday was, all of the locals voting,
1924 for to 38 against. The convinc-
ing unanimity with which the men
voted for a strike was not at all sur
prising to those who had closely OBJ
served the equalization of the senti-
ment and spirit Of the men. The ac-
tion of the Union in seeking a COM
promise may bear fruitful results and
then again it may only tend to delay
a strike.
Every honorable effort is being
made to avert strike and the COM
munity from the consequence of a
bitter struggle and the chances Of
compromise look encouraging accord
ing to Roderick Mackenzie, the or
ganizer. Mr.. Davidson, the ranking
official representative OF the Western
Federation of Miners, says that the

are invited to attend and take a part
in the discussion.
1t is the belief of the Agricultural
Department that such discussions will
prove of much more value than any
set lectures. In other words, they
believe that farmers can learn from
one another.
Matters influencing other crop yields
during the present season will also
be discussed. There are number of
other things of interest at the Demon
stration Farms including some crops
which are highly adapted to this sec
ton, but which have not been grown,
as far as we know of, in past years.
The Railway Company advises that
further information regarding this
meeting will be given shortly.

1t is never wise to permit oneself
to develop little muscle movement
habits such as drumming on the table
with the fingers; blinking the eyes,
working the mouth. Such habits
mean a certain lack of control over
the nerves which may lead, in time,
to a real disorder.

Galveston Would Be Naval Base.
That it would be the greatest mill
tary undertaking the United States
has had to assume since the war be-

Acting Secretary of the Navy Roose-
welt announced recently that Calves
ton would hereafter be used as
naval base so that battleships could

considerable portion of the North At
lantic feet would be ordered to Carib
bean waters within the next week.
The present American force along
the border is widely distributed. 1t
ranges from point opposite Nogales,
in Sonora, near the Pacific coast, to
Brownsville, Tex Among the inter-
mediate points at which troops are
stationed are Forts Huachuca, Doug
las Ariz.; FL Paso, Fort Clark Fort
Mcintosh and Terlingua, Tex.
This force, consisting almost en-
tirely Of cavalry, is so placed as to
reduce to a minimum the violation of
the neutrality laws by the shipping
Of arms across the border, either to
Federalists or Constitutionalists.
That this shipment of arms in small
quantities is constantly going on is ad-
mitted by General Leonard Wood
who declares it would require an army
almost as large as Germany's to po-
lice the border with complete eff
feCtiveness. The cavalry force also
tries to keep the War Department in
touch with the movement of detached
bands of rebels near the border, and
through it mainly has come the in

CHARTERCHANGE
FACES DOOM IN
LEGISLATURE
Fulton Representatives Decide
Against RecaII-PIan to Curb
Recorders Power.

Fulton County's representatives in
the Assembly have agreed to oppose
the initiative. referendum and recall
provisions Of the amendment to A.
lantas charter and TO offer a new
amendment curbing the power Of
Recorder Nash r. Broyles by reduc-
ing the maximum fine Of his court
from $500 to 5000
The Legislative precedent in GeOr-
gia is TO adopt whatever local legisla-
ton is agreed upon by local Repre-
sentatives. The agreement Of Flu
tons Representatives, therefore, al
most amounts to final action.
The representatives, John Y.
Smith. r. o. Cochran and r. q.
Blackburn, Wednesday notified Coun-
ell that the proposed charter amend
ments would be considered at the
meeting of the General judiciary
Committee No. 1 at 3 O'Clock Wednes-
day afternoon. The councilmen re
Piled that they would attend and
urge the passage of the charter
amendments without change.
Council Learns Of Decision.
Then. for the first time, was learn
ed the attitude of the Fulton deleg+-
ton.
Mr.. Blackburn was the rrst to OPP
pose the initiative. referendum and
recall clause. He said he would no.
recognize il as a principle Of govern
ment in Georgia. The others have
agreed to stand with him in oppos
ing 1t.
The clause. as passed by the city
council provides that an election 10
recall any city official can be had IN
the signed petition of 25 per cent "
the registered voters. Board mem
bers and Police Chief Beavers are
included. The initiative can be ir-
voked on a petition Of 10 per cent Of
the registered voters and the refer
endum on Is per CO t.
Curb Power Of Recorder.
Reviewing the fact that Recorder
Brovles frequently ar~lies the fine
limit OF $500 to persons appearing
before him, the Representative de
clare that this should be reduced -
5000. Recorder Broyles' $500 fines
mostly are imposed in blind tiger
cases But the Legislators declare
that II lie too much power for city
recorder.
The remainder of the charter
amendments they are willing to go
on to the people. But the remainder
amount to but little, providing for a
board to supervise the construction
department and repeating the SO
sanitary tax which is imposed on ev-
ery house in the city. The $4,000 an
nually secured from this source
would have to be secured from some
other source, say the Councilmen
Mayor Woodward and the others
who led the fight for more radical
charter reforms in the spring say
the people will repudiate the whole
thing if it is submitted to them. They
are hoping to elect members Of Coun-
ell i'm the fall who will favor genuine
reforms.
Candidates EVade Issue.
Though councilmaniC races are al
ready in progress in all parts of the
CITY no out-and out advocates of
charter reforms yet have appeared.
All are evading positive positions on
this issue.
The contest between w. A. Han
cock and John S owens for the al
dermanic board from the Eeighth
Ward is the nearest approach, The
