NOT HING DONE TOWARD
NAMING SUCCESSOR Of
SECRET ETARY PAUL SMITH

The resignation Of Paul +. Smith as
secretary OF Ardmore Chamber Of Com
merce, came as a surprise to many who
had thought him a fixture with the
organization, and speculation IS rife
as to who his successor will be.
Acting President Perry Maxwell
stated that no action in the matter
will be taken until the directors get
together and decide upon future action.
Mr.. Maxwell has been acting presi-
dent since the resignation Of J. e.
Hamilton, who was elected 10 the Of
flee sonnet ime ago. but said this
morning that he was not entirely IA
miliar with the affairs Of The organi'
2ation.
1t was reported that one prominent
young business man was already max
ing preparations to ask for the job
but the directors have not been op-
prised Of the fact.
in all probability no choice OF a sec
retary will be made until after the first
Of the year, when Mr.. Smiths resig'
nation becomes effective. By that time
the officers think they will have an
ample list of applicants to select from.

OVER
NAMING DELEGATES
BELIEVED SETTLED

Washington, October s.-Amicable
settlement of the dispute over the rail-
road unions representation in the in
dustrial conference called by President
Wilson appeared possible tonight. A
new suggestion transmitted by Direc-
tor General Hines was under consider
alton by the unions, with optimism
frankly expressed in official circles that
it would be accepted.
Timothy Shea of the firemen, who
announced today that the four brother
hoods did not expect to have delegates
at the conference because the basis of
representation offered the unions was
unsatisfactory, said he was in commu-
nicatien with the chiefs of the three
other hrotherhoods and with the unions
affiliated with the American Federation
of abor. but that no decision was pos
sible before tomorrow. He declined to
state what the railroad administration
had offered until the proposal was
acted upon finally.
Appointment of Is. NJ Jewell, acting
president of the railway employe de-
partment of the federation, as one of
the representatives of the public in the
conference, was expected to be con-
cihatory factor in the dispute.
The trouble arose when the railroad
unions were asked to appoint four dele
gates to the conference The four
brotherhoods desired to name all four
men, claiming that the American Fed
GRAFTON of Labor delegates would rep
resent the unions affiliated with that
organization. These unions, however,
insisted that they should be allowed to
participate in selecting the four men
representing the railroad employees es
pecially, and when IN agreement
seemed impossible, the unions Joined in
suggesting to Mr. Hines to change the
basis of union representation by allow
ing the heads of all recognized labor
organizations to participate. AS this
was impossible owing to the short time
remaining before the conference opens,
the counter suggestion was made which
it was hoped would end the trouble.

1t is claimed by people on the outskirts

many arrests that have been made by
city and county officials and that it is
becoming hazardous for persons afoot

tomobile to use the main roads. Motor

force, i'd is stated, and the fines will
be raised until speeding becomes I'M
