After listening ali the morning to
arguments for n against the local.

day that~the problem would be dealt
with on a statewide basis,
Judge Jackson. of Roanoke. moved
that each community served by the
Chesapeake, and Potomac Telephone
company be treated separately. At
torreys for the company held that to
do this would require years of work.
that the installation OF new equip
ment in any locality would necessitato
a hearing to determine what change
should be made In rates.
In this contention the was
supported by several attorneys who
are representing communities OPP

increase in rates, Senator G. OtCon-
nor Goodrich. of fredericksburg,
stated that he was in favor of group

not testify at the first hearing. held
in November
Opponents or the increase have
been studying the evidence taken at
the first hearing and had prepared "a
number OF vital questions. An i'm

animation of MIR, Grace, conducted
by Mr.. Noel. was that the percentage

Washington, Sept. 2-Organ-

against anti-strike provision of
the Cummins railroad reorgani-
zation bill today before the SEN
ate Interstate Commerce Com
mittee. Glenn E. Plumb, general
counsel for the railroad brother
hoods and author of the tri-parte
control of railroads, said the pro-
visions were a guarantee of "in-

they destroy the right of collec-

solely at the wage earners. Ans
wering a question of Senator
Pomerene, democrat, of Ohio,
Plumb conceded two weeks stop

MEMORIAL HOSPITAL FOR
HEROES OF CANTIGNY
(By Associated Press)

VIZ ~hSooSAoSSe i CSSl
Paris, Sept. 23-The memory of
the American soldiers who fell at
Cantigny, is to be perpetuated at
Montdidier by the establishment OF
a municipal hospital constructed from
American Red Cross barracks. Over
the entrance to the administration
building will be an inscription read
ing: "Gift of the American Red
Cross to the town of MontdidieI. In
Memory of the American soldiers
Who Fell at Cantigny"
Cantigny, in the valley below
Montdidier, was the first American
battle field in France. In the begin
ming of the Allied advance last sum-
mer, the Americans captured Can
tigny against tremendous odds, ad-
vancing further than any other
troops in taking it.
Many Americans lie buried on the
hillsides about the town. The French
country people are keeping the graves
green, many of the families having
"adopted" American graves.
In the country surrounding Mont
didier, the soldier-peasant is return
ing to the soil. Crops are growing
where in January there were hun
dreds of shell holes, dugouts and
trenches. Nearly half of the devastat-
ed fields in the district have been re-
claimed. But while this has been
going on the villages have in a large
been neglected. Social life,
however, is being rapidly restored.
Churches and schools are springing
up everywhere and in many cases
Red Cross barracks are serving for
this purpose.
Despite the fact that their homes
are dark cellars and dugouts, the
people are cheerful and never fail
% express their gratitude and ap-
for what America has
one for them.

Calvary Tent Meeting Closes

The Calvary Baptist tent meet
ing closed Monday night. Con-
sidering the unexpected Difficult
ties which hindered some, the
meeting was a success. The
membership of the little church
was revived and drawn closer to-
gether and plans set on foot to
solve the problem of financing the
new church building. These two
features of the meeting alone
makes it a glorious success. There
were also two additions to the
church. Evangelist Tolle is a
gospel preacher and has a win
ming personality. He conducted
the revival in tactful, masterful
way which brought the victory in
spite of the opposition of the car
nival and the annoyance of the
wind storms and rain. He won
the esteem and affection of the
people by his optimistic kind,
disposition. 1t is hoped
that Rev. Tolle will come to Rich
mond again for a meeting. Mr..
o. P. Jackson will conduct the
prayer meeting Tuesday evening
at 8 o'clock, and every member of
the church is especially urged to
be present as there is some i'm
portant business to attend to.

CLEAN UP TO STOP
FLU EPIDEMIC AGAIN
Mayor Receives Stringent L.-
structions From State Board
of Health To Enforce Here

The State Board of Health is
already beginning to take pre-
cautions against a recurrence of
the influenza epidemic this COM
ing winter. Mayor L. P. Evans
has just received a strong letter
from the board on the subject, in
which particular stress is laid on
the cleaning up of streets, alleys
and private premises. The May
or has therefore directed that all
such be Immediately cleaned up in
Richmond, and other pecautions
taken in accordance with the in
structions of the State Board of
Health which are set forth to the
Mayor in the letter as follows:
Louisville, Kentucky
Sept 18, 1919.
The Honorable Mayor and =
City Council,
Richmond, Kentucky.
Gentlemen:
This Board regrets to inform
you that almost daily, official re-
ports of cases and deaths from
influenza-pneumonia, are reach
ing this office from widely sepa-
rated sections of the State, and
that similar conditions exist in
other States.
In view of this disastrous ex-
perience with this disease last
fall and winter in your city, with
a sick and death rate, and an
actual money loss from interfer-
ence with business, unprecedent-
ed in the history of this State
and country, and of the recog-
nized danger of its recurrence in
epidemic form in the near future,
by virtue of the power vested in
us by law, we hereby request
you to have your streets and
alleys thoroughly cleaned and
oiled to prevent the evident
danger in the irritation of the
throats and lungs of your people
by dust; and that you direct
theaters, moving-picture shows
and other places of public assem-
blage, not to permit a greater
number of persons at any one
time to enter such places, than
can be seated comfortably, and to
exclude anyone coughing or
sneezing.
Given under our hands and the
Seal of the Board, this eighteenth
day of September, 1919.

STEEL INDUSTRY IS
BADLY CRIPPLED
Full Extent of Big Strike Not
Certain Yet But Workers Are
Making Big Claims
(By Associated Press)

The second day of the great
struggle between labor unions
and the United States Steel Cor
poration opened with the question
as to the extent to which the in
dustry is affected by the strike
still uncertain. Confused as it is,
by the conflicting claims of both
sides, that the steel industry is
gravely crippled in local centers
of Pittsburg, Chicago and
Youngstown is certain and early
reports today recorded several
gains for the strikers.
In the Pittsburg district, sew
keral plants which attempted tc
'continue operations yesterday,
shut down today. In the Chic
ago district, nearly all plants, in
cluding those at Hammond and
Gary, are either closed or operat-
ed at greatly reduced capacity. In
the Mahoning Valley of which
Youngstown is the heart, reports
agreed the strikers achieved their
most marked success. Many large
plans are closed and the strike
leaders are claiming $1,000 men
quit. The possibility of the Itrike
spreading to the Bethlehem
works where $4,000 men are en-
ployed, is more threatening today
Rioting which broke out at sew
eral points yesterday, was resum-
ed today. In clashes at Farrell
and New Castle, Pennsylvania, Is
persons were wounded, three of
whom may die
The situation is regarded as so
menacing in the Pittsburg distr
that reinforcements of State
troops were sent there. At Buff
falo rioting was resumed toda
but apparently it is not SO serio'
as in Pennsylvania. Incipient
rioting is also reported from
Youngstown.
