HOLLOWAY GETS
ORDER FOR PAY
mANpAMus ISSUED TO suPERIN-
TENDENT sHEATS WITH REFER
ENcE TO SCHOOL INSPECTOR.

TalIahass ee, Nov. 23.-Upon petition of
William Holloway, through his attorney,
William J. Oven, in the case of the
State of Florida upon the relation of
w. NJ. Holloway, relator, VS.. William
n. Sheats, as state superintendent of
public instruction, respondent, the
supreme court has issued an alterna-
tive writ of mandamus commanding
Mr. Sheats, as state superintendent, to
issue upon the comptroller his requisi-
ton in facvor of Holloway for the
salary earned by the latter as rural
school inspector of the state, from
August %, 1919, up to November L,
and that he likewise issue his requi-
sition upon the comptroller for Mr..
HolIoway's travelling expenses during
the same period, as same may be prop
erly vouchered and reported to Mr..
Skates as state superintendent, or to
show cause why he should not do so.
The alternative writ is made return
able Wednesday, November 25. This
action follows the refusal of Superin-
tendent Sheats to approve the salary
claim of Mr.. Holloway as rural school
inspector. The act under which Mr..
Holloway was appointed to this posi-
ton provides for the appointment of
upon the nomination of the state
superintendent. A vacancy occurred in
one of these offices this summer. The
state superintendent nominated some
two or more persons to be appointed
by the governor, but such nominations
were not approved by the governor
subsequently, and after two ladies had
been nominated to the governor. the
chief executive appointed Holloway on
the 2Sth Of August, subject to the state
board of education, and the petitioner
was thereafter duly sworn and COM
missioned. superintendent Sheats in
refusing to reQuisition the comptrol-
Ter for Holloway's salary, took the
position that such appointment made
without his nomination is illegal and
of no effect, and the court is asked
to determine whether or not the gov
ernor has the right to make an apz
pointment under the arbitrary power
conferred upon him by the constitu-
ton of Florida without regard to any
nomination by the state superinten-
dent of public instruction, as provided
in and by said act, or where, under the
terms of said act the chief executive
and state superintendent cannot agree
upon an appointee.
William J. Oven, of Tallahassee, who
represents Mr.. Holloway, petitioned
the court because of the Importance
of the question involved to take orig
inaI jurisdiction, and Van C. Swear
ingen. attorney general, urged that
action. 1t is assumed that the attor-
ney general will represent Mr.. Shafts,
and in that event curiously he will be
called upon to take a position contra
dictory to his former opinion on this
law, for on August 90 he officially adj
vised Governor Cats that he had the
right to make such appointment as a
temporary appointment until such
time as an appointment could be made
on the nomination of the state super
intendent.

Charter Membership Roll of Five Hun
dred Union Labor Men is Rapidly
Being Completed 1t Is Reported

Plans for the cooperative store to
be opened in Pensacola by union men
OF the city are about matured and the
only delay now is the charter member
ship roll, prime movers state.
The association will start with 500
charter members and it is expected the
roll will be completed in a short while.
Much enthusiasm is being shown in
the movement and the secretary trea-
surer is kept busy issuing charter
membership receipts since the ap-
prevail of his bond by the committee
last week.
At meeting Of the executive COM
mittee Saturday night it was decided
that widows of deceased union men
would be admitted to membership
and derive the benefits of co-opera-
tive buying and selling.
Leaders in the cooperative move
ment here claim it to be the only
solution of the advancing living costs
and the union men of the city arc
backing this belief with from $40 to
$50 each.
Stock holdings have been limited to
five shares at $40 each, in order to
eliminate any possibility of a few
men gaining control of the business

For her maiden voyage Faith took
