There was much contradictory evil

weekly earnings are around $35. and
mat this is not a living wage under
present conditions
The demands of the men were put in
me form of a memorandum of agree
ment drawn up by the Longshoremen's
association, which was read by William

Morrisburg TO get level above the
Calops and Rapid Plat sections. At
present there are two canals on the
Canadian side; one from Cardinal TO
Iroquois and the other from n point east
Of Iroquois to MorrIsburg. To overcome
the Long Sault Rapids second canal
would have to be constructed at Corn
wall. The difference between the lake
evel and that at Cornwall is about eighty
feet.
Between Cornwall and Montreal there
are important rapids, notably Lachine
Rapids, south of the Montreal Island.
Navigation Is possible along this section
through the Lachine, Beauharnois and
Soulanges canals, all in Canadian terri
tory. But since the United States has
navigation rights under treaty on the
ST. Lawrence, and also because of the
important interests concerned In the

tjonal support. The chief pressure comes

French Chamber Rejects Plan to
 Lift the Siege

Paris, Tuesday, July 8.-The chamber of deputies today rejected a bill providing for the immediate raising of the stata of siege and the suppression of the censorship, the vote being 256 to POP.
 The socialist and the republican so- cialist demanded the immediate sup pression of both the state of siege and the censorship but Stephen Pich- on, the foreign minister, declared that this step was impossible before the treaty of peace becomes effective through it's ratification by three or more powers.
 The debate closed with categori- cal statement by the government raising the question of confidence on the rejection of the bill.
 It was remarked in the Hobbies after the vote that this was the sec ond time the governments majority had been reduced to hardly more than 50, the smallest margin or which any government had continued in power since the beginning of the war.

M. E. Centenary
 Celebration Wins
 600 to the Church

Columbus, O., July 9.-Culminating indubitable proof of the practical value of the Methodist Centenary celebra- ton now in it's last week here is found in the fact that following the appeals that were made on the first day of special meetings, 600 persons have pledged themselves to life of Shrlst- ian service in whatever field of acti- vity their particular talents may fit them.
 These pledges were made follow ing a meeting conducted by Bishop Theodore s. Henderson of Detroit, and Rev. Robert Jones of Tennessee. The pledges include young men who agree to devote their life to the ministry, men and women who agree to enter the foreign mission field, and other men and women who pledge themselves to work in the home mission field.
 The significance of these pledges in connection with the Centenary move ment is seen from the fact that the annual accessions to church workers in the Methodist field average 600 year, so that one days solicitation after two weeks of celebration has resulted in the equivalent of a years work throughout the church in the entire United States. Of the 600 ap- prcximately 100 will be ministers. It is expected that more than twice this number will pledge themselves to lives of definite religious work be- fore the close of the present week.

THE AUTO PARKING ZONE
 MEASURE.

The Graphic has been informed that the committees of the Rotary club and Auto Dealers and Accessor ies' association are not opposed to the enactment of reasonable auto parking zone ordinance, and did not appear before the council Monday night for the purpose of offering op- position to the adoption of such a measure. Their appearance, 1t has been explained, was to request that the two organizations be permitted to aid in framing a measure regu- lating the parking of automobiles in the downtown district, to the end that the measure will meet local con- ditions.
 The general public doubtless will Fbe gratified to learn that this is the situation. The Graphic is, and re- grets if it placed these committees ill the wrong light.
 There can be no objection to hear ing all opinions on the proposed ordi- nance, because in this way the coun- cil will be in position to determne what is best for Pine Bluff. And that, after all, is what all are striv- ing for, or should strive for
 There is some opposition to the parking zone ordinance, however, but perhaps this opposition will be re- moved thru the assurance that efforts will be made to frame a measure that will minimize the danger of accident lessen traffic congestion and work as little hardship on any class as possible.

Crimea is Cleared
 of the BOlSheViki
 By Denekine Army

London, July S.-The Crimea has been entirely cleared of bolsheviki as result of the advance of General Denekine's troops west of the Dnie- per river, according to a war office statement issued tonight.
 The advance was over front of 70 miles and deprived the bolsheviki of their sole line of communication between their main forces and those in the Crimea.
 General Denekine's volunteers have been successful on all parts of the front, the statement says. They have reached point on the Cacpian coast 55 miles southwest of Astrakhan and another column is on the banks of Volga northwest of Tchernoi-Lar.
 In capturing Tsaritzin the Dene- kins forces took 10000 prisoners and a quantity of guns, and pursuing their advantage are now only 75 miles from Saratov. The volunteers have also pushed 40 miles beyond Kharkov, having captured Ekaterinoslav and AleXandrovsk.

Railroad Employees Make Safety First"
 Campaign Success

w. p. Smith, assistant superintend- ent here for the Cotton Belt, Iyester- day gave out for publication the fol- lowing statement regarding the cam paign to avert accident, issued by $. F. Bush, regional director of rall- roads for the Southwest:
 "The campaign to reduce accidents to employees in the Southwestern re- zion during the month of May, 1919, was a decided success. During May, 1919, there was a total of 646 accl- dents to employees, as compared with ,475 during the same month last year, reduction of 56 percent.
 During the 3-months period, Jan uary to March, 1919, inclusive, an average of one employe per month was killed to every 9,715 in service, while during the month of May, the number was reduced to one employe killed to every 24,983 in service. During the same 3-moths' period one employe out of every 153 was injured, while during the month of May, 1 employe was injured to ever 273 in service.
 "Officers and employees took a most active interest in the campaign and the outcome indicates what it is pos sible to accomplish by intensive eff forts, the exercise of precaution, and having SAFETY FIRST always in mind
 "The safety movement was given an impetus during the month of May which will be continued, as, doubt less, all employees are impressed with what may be done to avoid accidents to themselves and fellow men by an- ticipating the consequence of unsafe working methods and conditions:

serving to alienate the aid of men whose support could be enlisted ln the Chamber of Commerce work in behalf of the city.
 The bulletin says The Graphic "opened full the flood gates" of "vin- dictiveness, ego and vituperation. Sound nice, these phrases, but mean ingless. The Graphic's article was characterized by none of these. "Egotism" may have been meant by the bulletin, and not "ego'. In that case readers are best able to judge, because Webster defines "egotism" as: "The practice of too frequently using the word l; hence, a speaking or writing overmuch of ones self selfexaltation; self praise; the act or practice of magnifying ones self or parading ones own doings."
 To conclude: If the bulletin is is- sued solely in the interests of Pine Bluff and the Chamber of Commerce, ao du VI nIliZdIlOIi, WIiy HOG accept The Graphic's offer of ten to 15 inch es of space daily for the dissemina- tion of news and views of value in the work of city building The bulletin editor can prepare the copy to fill the space under terms of the offer. This would save the Chamber of Commerce the expense of publish ing the bulletin, and would obtain greater circulation for Chamber of Commerce news and views.
 In making this offer The Graphic is actuated solely by the desire to serve the Chamber of Commerce in pro- noting the interests of the city and county. In dollars and cents, it is tender of an annual contribution of something more than 1000 worth of advertising space free.

THE C. OF C. BULLETIN

In publicly calling attention to an unjustified attempt by the bulletin of the Chamber of Commerce to create the impression that Pine Bluff newspapers are refraining from giv- ing full credit and praise to that or ganization for it's achievements. The Graphic had no thought of entering into a controversy with the editor of the bulletin. The Graphic realized that it's remarks might be miscon- strued by some and might wound the sensitive bulletin, but it believed, and still believes, that the welfare Of the city is paramount. And The Graphic seeks to serve the city's in- terests, first, last and always. The good surgeon doesn't hesitate to operate, when an operation is neces- sary, simply because the patient may experience twinge or two of pain. The doctor knows that when the patient recovers, he'll be grateful lO IHC Sul lSSOu lOA ISSttiatiVu " health and for the relief-even if it did hurt little. And so The Graphic. The welfare of the city comes first. Whenever The Graphic can further Pine Bluffs in- terests, it is going to do so--irres- pective of who takes umbrage with out cause, or who gets the credit.
 The bulletins attempt yesterday to answer The Graphic provided ad- ditional evidence in support of the contention that suspension of the bulletin is one way to serve the in- terests of the city and county. The Graphic's remarks were meant kind ly, even tho they may hurt. The father isn't unkind when he scolds the son for a misdeed. Of course, the son doesn't realize this until later.
 The bulletin cannot avoid person. alities, and it is this weakness that makes it a liability instead of an asset to the city-buildng organization
