Arthur C, Gray Announces For Sheriff

Arthur c. Gray, than whom there
is no better republican in the ranks
and whose smiling countenance is
known from one end of Knox coun
ty to the other, has announced his
candidacy for the nomination of
Sheriff of Knox county subject to
the republican convention or prim
airy whichever will be accepted by
the executive committee.
No better Knox county boy could
be put in nomination and elected for
the high position of sheriff than Ar
thur c. Gray. He is so we'll known
that when his name mentioned his
friends and acquaintance exclaim
"just the man for sheriff" He not
only numbers his friends among his
own party but among the other par
flies as well.
Arthur c. Gray served two years
as deputy sheriff under Sheriff John
H. Blankenship and in the dis
charge of his duties he. was faith
full to every trust. Brave, yet cour-
teous, he never wavered when he
knew he was right and in the dis
charge of his duties was severely
wounded, which nearly cost him
his life. He was considered one of
the best deputies that ever served
under any sheriff and if elected to
the high office to which he aspires
he will be found faithful to every
duty, courteous to all and coura-
geous in face of danger. The re-
publicans can find no better man
for shetiff than Arthur c. Gray.
He is now one of the popular
statesmen at the clothing store of
Blanc & Bowman en- Market street
where he always has welcome for
his many warm friends and cnsto-
mers. East Tenn. Farmer

MORE WORK IN FEWER HOURS
Ample Proof That Shorter Day of
Labor Is Beneficial to EN-
ployer and Employees.

Concrete Illustration of the fact
that as much or more Is sometimes ac-
comphshed when the daily working
period Is reduced were given at the
last meeting of the American Associa-
ton for Labor Legislation by Ethel
bert Stewart, statistician of the fed
eral bureau of labor statistics.
Mr. Stewart cited flour mills in
Louisville, KY, in which 1t had been
found that when the "a hours was di-
vided in two shifts a men were re-
CURED to pack the plants output.
When a change was made to three
shifts of eight hours each As men
were employed with no change in the
output
Mr.. Stewart said further: "Tn con-
neetion with my work on paper for
the tariff board, I found that one pa
per company had made two wage in
creases amounting in all to 211a per
cent, although during the same time
they changed from q two to a three
shift system, q reduction in hours of SO
percent. The labor cost per ton Of news
print paper was less in the year the
Investigation was made than 1t had
been IA years before on 12-hour
basis and at lower wages. The paper
mills out West have not been COM
PEELED to establish the eight-hour day,
but they have done it because there
Is more money In it.
"Fhe argument that reduction Of
hours will drive the manufacturer out
Of business makes me think of q con-
versation l heard up in Pennsylvania.
An automobile man was roasting an
agent of the Ford company for paying
50 d day and reducing the hours to
eight on the ground that 1t was a
purely selfish, moneymaking scheme.
eman's answer was: Mr.. Ford has
NeEted the S. day nor the
eigIs -hour day. If you think you can
make more money that way, go to it,
So I am not prepared to concede that
changing a continuous industry from
a twelve-liour to an eight-hour basis Is
going to be a hardship"

For NIGHT Work In shlpbuiIdlnn.

Construction of ships by electric
light employment of two or three
eight-hour shifts and the addition Of
a committee comprising three produc-
ton engineers are q few of the things
planned by the shipping board to ex-

Chairman Hurley wired coast ship
ping builders to arrange If possible
for the employment of two or three
extra shifts. He said that the excel

those localities at present should be
made the most of. The plans would
involve ship construction at night. A

Praises Compulsory Work Law.

That the compulsory work law of
Maryland has proved big success
was the assertion today Of George A.
Malone of Baltimore, director of
the bureau which is attending to
fits enforcement. Said Mr.. Malone
"The compulsory work law has now
been In effect for about two months.
The eastern shore counties have been
visited once by representative from
this bureau and the counties on the
western shore have been visited at
least twice by representatives from
the Compulsory Work bureau. While
in some Of the counties there have not
been any registrations, from reports
received 1t has been demonstrated
without doubt that the law has fully
justified Its enactment and that idle
ness unquestionably has been re-
duced."

A general strike Of employees at the
factories of the Minneapolis and On

employees at the paper mill, causing
the strike, and that the paper mill men
went out In sympathy with the Kraft
