MILL STRIKE Ar ROCK HILL
Employees Walk Out and Arsgon
Mill Closes Doors #5

Rock Hill, Aug. Employees Of
the Aragon Cotton Mill, OF this city,
striking for higher wages, walked
out last night at II o'clock, and to-
day the mill Is closed, the day force
having Joined the strike. The tex
tile workers, SO far as can be learned,
are demanding a 25 per cent in
crease in wages, which has been re-
fused by the mill officials, who feel
that the earnings OF the mill do not
warrant such wholesale raise in
wages, according to statement
made to-day by Alexander Long,
presideD' Mr.. Long states that
there have been no disturbances at
the mill and that no clashes are ex-
pected. The employees, he added,
have the right to ask for higher
wages, but their present demands
cannot be met, and consequently the
mill has been closed.
Mr.. Long declares that no effort
will be made to bring in outside
strike. AS long as the employees
wish to remain idle the mill will res
main shut down, he states, and when
they wish to return to work they
may do SO. Approximately 500 en-
ployees, the entire working force of
the mill, are affected by the strike.
1t was rumored to-day that the
employees Of the Manchester Mill are
also planning strike, but this rumor
could not be confirmed. 1t Is re-
ported that the employees of this
mill have asked for an increase in
wages, but as yet no definite action
has been taken.
The situation at the Carhart Mill,
where the employees have also re
quested an increase of 25 per cent
In wages, is practically unchanged.
conference between officials Of the
mill and representatives of the en-
ployees was held yesterday after
noon, but no definite agreement was
reached. The officials Of the Car
hart Mill have signified their willing
ness to give the employees a raise
of 8 per cent in wages, but this offer
has not been accepted, as the workers
are holding out for greater in
crease.
So far as can be learned, no i'll
feeling has been displayed by the
employees at any Of the mills where
higher wages are being demanded,
and mill officials apparently expect
no trouble along this line. They
have apparently adopted the attitude
expressed by Mr.. Long when he
stated that IL the workers rather re-
main idle than earn the wages paid
them by the mill they may do so,
as 1t is simply up to the employees
to decide whether or not they will
work. Mr.. Long animated that the
Aragon Mill will remain closed until
the employees are ready to resume
work
While there are nine mills in the
city, dissatisfaction among the en-
ployees Is confined so far TO three OF
them. A textile union was formed
among the mill workers of this city
only a few weeks ago, and tlis Is
the first trouble o. the kinu ex-
pcrienced by the mills.

of the Southern states over the
government was being perpetu-
ated.
Palmer is from the great re-
publican state of Pennsylvania.
Since Pennsylvania is one of the
states that has ratified the prohi-
bition amendment, Palmer would
stand a good chance of carrying
it. OF course, he would easily car
ry the South, which is overwhelm-
ingly prohibition. and he must be
able to add number of North

umn besides Pennsylvania.
VIII Enforce Dry Law.
Remember, he is the attorney
general and on him will fall re-
sponsibility of enforcing the fed
eral prohibition amendment when
it goes into effect next January.
There is no doubt he will exert all
the power of his department to
make the law effective. He will
have the sympathy of prohibition

PALMER DRYS
EARLY CHOICE
FOR PRESIDENT
By Justin McGrath.

WASHINGTON, June 3.-President
Wilson's statement in his address at
the banquet in Paris to the new presi-
dent of Brazil, DR.. Eptacio Pessoa, that
his presidency is not ahead of him, set
the tongues of politicians at the capi-
tai to wagging.
Watch out for Mitchell Palmer as
the democratic candidate for presi-
dent in 1920" one of these wiseacres
whispered to me today.
why Palmer, particularly"
plans are now being set up to put
him over"
who are setting them up?" I
asked.
"The leaders of the prohibition
movement"
l set out to find what confirmation
l could get for the report. l got
enough to convince me the information
was we'll founded.
There aret wo political divisions of
prohibitionists-stra party pTohi-
bitionists and nonpartisan prohibition
lists. 1t is the straight party prohibi-
tionists who are planning the nomina-
ton of Mr. Palmer. The non-partisan
prohibitionists are taking no active
part in the movement, but have a sym
pathetic interest in it.
Friends Are Hopeful.
The majority of the democratic par
ty being favorable to prohibition, as
has been demonstrated by ratification
of the federal prohibition amendment,
Mr.. Palmer's friends are most san
guine of the success of the boom they
have started / talked with one of
them today, and this is the way he out
lined the prospect:
'McAdoo is probably out of the
running. He is understood to be
making a lot of money as attor-
ney for the movie stars. 1t is not
likely he would surrender his op-
portunity to obtain the fortune
which he needs to become candl-
date. Besides, his health, which
is not too good would influence
him to decline.
Next to McAdoo, the most for
midable figure among the old line
democrats is Secretary Daniels.
He has made good. He is esteemed
by the public and is popular with
the politicians. The Bryan ele-
ment would be strong for him.
But Mr.. Daniels comes from a
Southern state with small electo-
raj vote. His nomination would

CENSOR STILL
HOLDS TO JOB
IN ERINS' ISLE

DUBLIN.-(Co Correspondence of The
Associated Press. )-The Irish censor
ship has not been entirely discontin-
ued as has that of England. Major
Bryan Cooper, formerly unionist mem
Der of parliament for South Dublin,
has been appointed press censor for
Ireland, succeeding Lord Decies. who
has resigned.
The Irish censorship, however, is
declared to be voluntary, and no paper
is required to submit copy to the CEN
sor. But as the penalties for objec-
tionable publications will still remain,
and may involve seizure of plant and
machinery, it is expected that the
newspapers will make themselves safe
by taking the censor's opinion on all
doubtful matter. The government de-
clares that sin the interests of the
peace of the country it is impossible
for the government to permit any sec
tion of the press to be used as an in
strument of incitement to organized
or other defiance of the law or for the
purpose of inf1aming public opinion
to pitch in which acts of lawlessness
become possible" But the govern
ment adds that there is no intention
to interfere with legitimate political
discussion or propaganda" 1t is
probable that while the general body
of the Irish press will continue their
relation with the censor very much as
before, the Sim Fein papers may take
all risks.
The nationalist press complains that
the censor's practice of curtailing the
speeches of Sim Fein leaders had the
effect of depriving the Irish public of
any real basis for judging Sim Fein
policy which they believe would have
proved less attractive than it did to
the Irish electors if they had known
the extreme terms in which it was
sometimes put forward.

ly. If there should De any organ
lied effort to prevent enforcement
of the amendment, prohibition cas-
lily may become the overshadowing
issue. In that event the attor-
ney general would be the only log
ical candidate for the democrats

But even though prohibition is
not the overshadowing issue, Pal
mer's record in enforcing the fed
eral amendment is bound to bring
him favorably to the attention of

ton. Speaker Clark had a major

majority.
Palmer is young, being only AZ,
He is an able speaker, a great

and a successful financier. He has
greater strength outside his own
party than any other man spoken
of for the democratic nomination.
If he should be the democrati,

undoubtedly would ratify his NOM

The Wilson men will have to

just as Cousin Bruin seemed a giant
to little Jimmy Coon.
Little William was very eager to
catch Mr.. jeremiah Bullfrog, or at
least Mrs. Sally Bullfrog, but he new
er could get very close and only could
catch glimpse of him when he was
summing himself on great log
far from shore.
Little Jimmy Coon thought it would
be a great adventure to try his hand
at the sport of catching Mr.. jeremiah.
Cousin Bruin is a great fisherman,
and is very swift in his movements
when he is trying to catch a frog. You
would be surprised to see how quick
the movements of such ac lumsy crea-
ture. Often Cousin Bruin would give
lightning like pass with his huge
paw and frog or fish would not
know what had happened to him.
But Mr. jeremiah Bullfrog was no
such easy mark. When Cousin Bruin
had watched him for some time he
felt he must wait patiently for good
chance to strike down Mr.. Frog.
Cousin Bruin can be as quiet as a
mouse and it is very strange to see
so huge a creature so still and patient.
