WANTS BARBER SHOPS
TO CLOSE ON SUNDAY
L. A. sterne, Union Organizer, to
Ask Congress to
Pass Bill.

L. A. Sterne. union labor organizer
for the District of Columbia and for
Maryland and clerk to Samuel Com
pers, president. and Frank Morrison,
secretary, of the American Federation
of Labor. has been asked by officers of
the local BARRIERS Union to represent
them in the matter of reintroducing in
the coming Congress the bill providing
for the Sunday closing of barber shops.
Il am sure that the general public
does not know that, in view of the de-
cree that barber shops can remain
open on Sunday, the BARRIERS are work
ing seven days q week for the salary
that they receive for six" said Mr..
sterne today to a reporter for The
star. When you take into considera-
ton that barber shop opens up at
7:3D to 8 O'Clock in the morning and
does not usually close until 7:3O or 8
o'clock In the evening. after the last
customer has gone. and again on Sat
urday he must work from 1880 o'clock
in the morning to past II at night, and
then have to return to his labers Sun
day morning. it seems a disgrace to the
capital of the nation that such condi-
tions exist. We have no law for the
District of Columbia that provides for
one day of rest in seven. The boss

EDITORIAL CORRESPONDENCE

To the Editor The time is
near at hand when the cotton
crop will be ready for market.
What are we going to do with it?
Notwithstanding the fact that
there was much talk of reduc-
ing the acreage last spring we
all know that it was not reduced
very much. Unless things
change in Europe we are going
to be confronted this fall with
the same situation as last fall.
All of us agree that acreage re-
duction is the first remedy and |
believe that storage warehouses
are the second, we haven't done
either in Halifax County. In a
report issued from the U. S.
Dept. of Agriculture on July,
18th, Prof. Nixon says. From
a rather thorough investigation
of conditions in North Carolina
it has been found that very few
of the smaller towns have any
warehouses.
North Carolina is probably in
more serious need of houses than
any of the other of the cotton
producing States" This doesn't
speak we'll of our State. Here
in Halifax County in 1913 we
produced 81, 10 bales, our stor-
age capacity is about Is, 100
bales. in seven warehouses, five
with a capacity of II, 900 bales
are owned by the cotton mills at
Roanoke Rapids and Rose
mary, and are not for the use of
the farmer at all. This only
leaves storage room for LOO
bales in Halifax County for the
use Of the farmer to store his
%. 600 bales of cotton. Again
ask what are we going to do
about it? AS we have always
lone, wait until the time to sell
and then throw up our hands
and scream Murder" or are we
going to make arrangements to
store our cotton or at least a
part of it?

The American Truth q Society

One of the most interesting
pieces of anti-English propaganda
we have read yet has lately been
issued under the title THE Peril
of American Finance. The
pamphlet sets forth the terrible
things that will happen to this
country unless our bankers and
manufacturers refuse credit to
the allies in any form and de-
mand payment of their obliga-
tons in gold. 1t frankly states
that this would be impossible un-
der the circumstances and would
amount to a virtual embargo on
every kind of merchandise, ordi-
narily exported by the United
States.
The American Truth Society =

the organization making these
interesting facts known to the
public and the gentlemen who
form the association must be in a

state Of the country. Some of
their conclusions are that the

The British Order In Council

The latest ruling Of the British
government re cotton shipments
from the United States to neu-
trail European nations has great
possibilities of producing not
merely diplomatic rupture but
open war between Great Britain
and this country. Under the new
ruling Great Britain plans not to
pay for cargoes of cotton seized,
merely condemning same,
This is in violation Of all prlncl-
pies of international law and will,
if such a procedure is adopted,
bring protests from the United
States Government that will have
behind them the backing of the
entire south. 1t is a blow at the
American pocketbook which will
be certain to cause an amount Of
enmity against Great Britain
compared to which our i'll feeling
towards Germany will be as
nothing.

American press has been bought
bag and baggage by the allied
interests, and such interesting
phrases as bankers recreant to
their trusts, financial slave of
Britain, ETC., etc., are scattered
through the pamphlet.
The American Truth Society
consider the allied powers as
bankrupt and defeated nations,
Great Britain as feeble and de-
crepit, and success for the Ger
man arms as absolutely unques-
tionable.
About the charge that the
American press is subsidized We
have great doubt, but that the

being used for purposes of
German propaganda their can be
no reasonable doubt. Deutsch-

One objection to stopping the
expectation of arms from this
country is the fact that in the
event of a war between this
country and some foreign power.
we would be greatly in need of a
supply of arms and munitions of
war from European factories.
and an embargo now might rise
up and plague us at that future
date.
