Forbidden Strike, London Police Declare One

LONDON, July 31 (By the Associated Press. )-An i'm mediate strike of the London police was decided upon to- night at mass meetings held at various places. The griev- ances of the police is the bill before parliament reorganiz- ing the { department. This permits organization of a p0- lice union, but prohibits it from affiliating with the la Dor unions, and prohibits po- hcemen from going on strike under any circumstances, with heavy penalties. The London police struck in August of last year over the question of wages. For sev- eral days while the men were out chaos prevailed. The men finally obtained an in crease in wages and the strike was called off, after it had been in effect three days.

Inspired PanaceaS Proposed In Congress Include Plan to Reduce Money in Circulation;
 Pres. Wilson ThinkingDe

WASHINGTON, July 31.-Govern- mental machinery was set in motion today in response to demands from the public that some action be taken to relieve the high cost of living. Prices, as they affect the average citizen, assumed first place in the national capital, where Wilson was said to be giving "deep and very thoughtful consideration" to problems presented to him and the railroad ad- ministration by members of the rail- road brotherhodds, who reported that prices would have to come down or wages go up, if social unrest was not to develop unto upheaval.
 Congress Has Many Panaceas
 In the senate and house, the situa- tion gave rise to several resolutions to investigate the cause of existing price levels, another to reduce the volume of currency in circulation as a means of deflating prices, one to re-
 
 speculation in foods exchanges and another to sell this years wheat crop at market prices instead of at the gov ernment guaranteed price, the deficit to be made up by the government.
 Late today Attorney General Pal mer met eight high government off cials for discussion of high costs and the best methods to pursue to effect a reduction. After a general talk the conference disbanded to meet again, probably next week. Those attending the conference included Secretaries Glass, Houston, Redfield and Wilson. Director General of Rail- roads Hines, Chairman Murdock of the federal trade committee, Assist ant Secretary of the Treasurer Lef- fingwell and w. B. Clover of the fed eral trade committee.
 Wage Raise Not Solution
 It developed today that demands for more wages were pending before the railroad administration for several hundred thousand employees. w. G. Lee, president of the Trainmen, told the wage andadjustment board that an increase in wages was not the PAOpCA oOluIIOA Ol tue present. SCO- homie hardships under which work ing men are laboring, because they would be followed by new increase in the cost of everything which would more than absorb the additional pay.
 Until all classes get together to stop ''porfiteering," he said, the only thing for every one to do is to get all the wages he can, course which, he declared, would result eventually in precipitating the upheayal now star ing the country in the face.
 As step toward breaking the high prices, plans are being made by Sec retary Baker, Postmaster General Burleson and Representative Kelly of Pennsylvania to sell through the par eel post surplus army food stocks val ued at $124,O0O,0OO. Officials who at. tended the conference declined to dis cuss what took place.

HIGH COMMAND
 |S BLAMED FUR ! ARMY CRUELTY
Summary Court Officer Says
 GrinStead and Smith Put In Charge Prisoners By Higher
 Ups Because "Hard Boiled"

DEMING, N. M.. July 31.-That he was instructed to exercise greater se- verity in sentencing men; that rec concentrations he made for clemency were disregarded; that on at least one occasion he was reprimanded for treating prisoners considerably, and that in his opinion. Colonel Edgar P. Grinstead and Lieut.. Frank H. Smith were selected to have jurisdiction over Farm No. 2 at Chelles, France, be- cause of their supposedly hard boil ed' characteristics, were declarations made in a statement tonight by Capt. Clyde Earl Ely of Deming. N. M.
 Captain Ely was summary court of ficer of the 145th machine gun battal- ion, a part of the 4t0h division.
 Colonel Grinstead and Lieutenant Smith, whose names have figured prominently in testimony given before the congressional committee investi- gating treatment of army prisoners in France, were afficers of the 15Sth in fantry, also a part of the fortieth di- vision.
 Captain Eiy's Statement
 Captain Ely's statement said:
 Colonel Grinstead and Lieutenant Smith were selected (to have charge at the farm) under the sanction of Major General Frederick S. Strong, commanding the 10th, selected for the characteristics which they were sup posed to possess, of being hard boiled"
 This, according to word bruited about, was in line with a general pol icy of the American expeditionary forces, for ruthless repression.
 "The A. E. F. as a whole was never interested in the manner in which the prison camps were conducted. Most officers and privates were there for a serious purpose and kept away from them.
 But in an army of 100000 there were many mental detectives and many with criminal records, or ten dencies. These naturally gravitated toward the prisons and their control was one of the greatest problems of the higher commanders. Brutal repres- sion seemed to be the answer that appealed to many of them.
 Tt was made known to me as sum- mary court officer of the 145th ma chine gun battalion, and also as a member of courts martial, that execu- tive and statutory limits were off and that sentences of greater severity must be imposed.
 Likewise, we learned of the se- verity regime at the prison camps. Word went forth that they were hell of place to land.
 "l believe that Colonel Grin-
 stead and Lieutenant Smith did
 only what they had direct or inn
 piled orders to do, and that the
 higher command was responsible
 for the policy under which these
 orders were carried out. In this
 state only what l think could
 prove.
 'I personally handled some of the men that had been maltFeated and was once reprimanded for delaying march to rest them up and feed them. was told by headquarters: You can not be good to these men, They were hungry, all-conditioned, and it took six trucks, making several trips (each) to pick up the stragglers who were too weak to walk"

Traffic LaDS
COntinne To
Be Violated

Despite the vigilance of the police
there is continued disregard of the
traffic ordinances both as to speed
and parking. Use of the muffler cut
out needlessly and boisterously also
continues, according to the police.
The rule requiring autos and yehi-
cles to park with the rear to the curb
is practically disregarded on some
streets, every manner that pleases the
driver being used. In one block We'd
nesday afternoon automobiles were
parked in every manner possible, no
two of them appearing to be in the
same position.
Exceeding the speed limit is the
least of the traffic violations. Speed
ing is not of itself a dangerous prac-
tice. if the speed is anywhere under
80 miles, except on congested streets,
and il the drivers are experienced and
cautious. But the limit is II miles
and that is the point at which driy-
er is subject to arrest.

HEAVY DEMAND FOR
FARM LABOR Received
OPPORTUNITIES NEEDED FOR RE
TURNING SOLDIERS AND
SAILORS.

Eight hundred and sixteen persons,
including male civilians, women and
returned soldiers and sailors, were
placed in industrial occupations
through the six Tennessee Offices of
the United States employment service
during the week ending June 7, ac-
cording to the report of DR.. J. T.
Ware, federal director of employment.
The report shows that 1926 indivud-
uals applied for jobs through the gov
ernments free bureaus; 1,064 were
examined and referred to 1888 EN-
ployers reporting opportunities, and
SIG are known to have been placed
in employment.
Placements for the week amounted
to 66 per cent, although the women's
division had a record of only 81 per
cent.
Heavy demands are being made on
the U. S. employment service for
farm labor, especially in those locali-
ties where excessive rain has caused
grass and weeds to threaten the life
of corn and cotton. On top Of the To-
cal demand, Oklahoma and Kansas
have sent out the s. o. s. for help in
the harvest fields. The service has
been able to direct many men to
southern farms.
Returning soldiers and sailors are
being assisted in all industrial cen
ters in Tennessee. Opportunities of
all kinds are needed constantly to
place the returning fighters in civil
life as rapidly as they apply for jobs.

That sheep are one of the most

Delay Obtaining

e1Stati0n Building

Failure to get lumber and brick is
delaying the work on the buildings at
the Middle Tennessee Experiment
Station and they are not going to be
as far progressed when the farmers
hold their convention on July % as
had been hoped. But for the delay in
securing shipments of brick the adj
ministration building would have
been ready for the roof. The founda-
ton has been completed for two or
three weeks. A car load Of lumber
ordered months ago has not yet been
received. Contractors declare that
they have never experienced such
difficulty in obtaining supplies as
they are having this year The big
wings and additions to the main
barn are nearing completion and sew
eral of the cottages have been practi7
cally finished Work on the big
dairy barn is also progressing.

FEET ON GARDEN sTHEET1si
PURCHASED.
INCREASE SIZE OF The GARAGE
Volume of Business Grows So Rapidly
That Provision Must Be M<de to
Take Care of Reconsideration Is
$10O a Front Foot.

Hardison Motor Company has pur-
chased from Robert l.. Mckinney the
lot on Garden street adjoining their
handsome garage building, and front
ing eighty-five feet on Garden street
and running back 1S0 feet. This is
one of the most desirable vacant lots
in the down town business section and
will give Hardison Motor Company a
frontage of about 210 feet on Garden
street.
The new lot will be utilized for an
addition to the already immense gar
age of the company. 1t was thought
when this garage was constructed that
it would answer the needs of the bus
mess for several years but already
it has been found advisable to plan for
extensions and additions so that the
ever increasing business of the firm
can be taken care Of
The consideration paid for the lot
was 800 front foot which gives a
pretty good idea of the esteem in
which dirt in Columbia is held. OFF,
cials of the Hardison Motor Company
have not yet matured their plans for
the construction of the new building,
but it will be erected during the
present year and will have every pos
sible facility and convenience of the
most modern motor house.
Although this is one of the compar-
atively new business firms of the city,
having been in business not very
much more than year, its volume of
business has grown. by leaps and
bounds.

DISAPPOINTED BY DELAY But
STILL SUPPORTING TWO FOR
ONE MOVEMENT.
TO SEND DELEGATION HERE
Haynes Ayers, Jr., and o. p. Mckis-
sick Voice Sentiment of People OF
Their Community On State and Fed
eral Aid.

There has not been a dissenting
voice in this community against the
state highway departments offer to
use state and federal aid on two
for one basis in the construction of a
system Of permanent highways in
Maury county," said Haynes Ayers,
Jr., cashier of the Spring Hill Bank
this morning in an interview with
The Herald.
Il have heard considerable discus
sion of the proposition here" said
Mr.. Ayers, "and so far as | can learn
the people here are unanimously in
favor of the quarterly court making
provision for the acceptance of the
offer"
Mr. Ayers quoted Squire John M.
Davis, one of the most prominent
members of the court, as having said
that it would be foolish for a county
to refuse to accept a proposition in
which two dollars will be placed on
top of every dollar appropriated by
the county, regardless of whether the
state agrees to maintain the road.
But Mr.. Ayers said that he under
stood that it will be the policy of the
state highways department to main
tain these state highways.
The citizens of the Spring Hill
community, like those in other sec
tions, We're sorely disappointed by
the delay that has been occasioned,
said Mr.. Ayers.
o. P. McKissick, prominent mer-
chant and secretary of the Spring
Hill community club, was another
citizen of that community who spoke
this morning of the unanimous public
sentiment there in favor of the pro-
position. He said that the Spring
Hill people are going to have dele
cation here when the court meets in
July to give their personal endorse
ment to the resolution when it comes
up for consideration.
