GREENvILLE

-Greenville. December 24.-(Special) John Barker the engineer who was se- siously injured by having been run over by hand car in the local railway yards, is reported to be considerably improved, and it is now believed that unless complications arise he will be able to be moved to his home in Mont gomery within short while.
 The accident occurred in the local yards here Saturday. when the engi- neer stepped from his engine to go to the telegraph office to receive orders. The motor car was driven by H. Cum bic. section foreman, who resides in Greenville.
 No one has been charged with negli- gence in connection with the accident. and it is the general belief that it was unavoidable as neither the engineer nor the motor driver saw or heard each other before the crash came.
 Postmaster, R. E. Burnett of the local postoffice states that the Greenville of- flee is doing more business the present holiday season by 25 per cent than any year during it's history. He statAd that both outgoing and incoming business is on great increase and that the pro- ceeds from the office will be very heavy.

 The situation has become so serious that it was deemed expedient to prfect an organization of some kind which would if possible be able to persuade these men to give up their purpose Of return ing to their native lands, and instead remain in the United States An organ ization of that kind had been perfected, and the fact that men or the char acter of Coleman Du Pont and Alexander I Hemphil, who is chairman of the board of directors of the largest trust institution in the world. are associated as officers in this organization of itselt is sufficient to give it authority ana 10 carry to it the confidence that if if De ,possible in any way to influence these

NORKMEN SEND
 MONEY TO EUROPE
BY HOLLAND

New Norl., December Especial. )--ln- less something be done so that workmen in American industries who are not cit izens of the United States can be persuad- ed to give up~ their purpose of returning to their homes in Europe. then within a few months approximately s4OO0 .O0O. 900 in actual cash will have been taken out of the country. To the extent of s4,O00- 100000 carried to Europe as rartial liquidation of the indebtedness of Europe to us will have been made But the best authorities are certain that the loss of $4O00,0 900 in hard cash and the ir- direct gain which in that way win be made towards reduction of foreign debts does not compare in importance with the loss to the industries of the United States which the departure of these workingmen will occasion.
 So excellent authority as the Ameri- can Banking association has reported that the bolshevik propaganda has gone so far as to tempt at least 100000 for eign-born workingmen to withdraw their deposits in the savings banks. also to sell their Liberty Bonds. and if they have homes to sell those so that they may re- turn to Europe
 The bankers also estimate that there are at least l,500.0OO workingmen who are now preparing to sail for their native lands. And many of them would have already sailed if they had been able to secure transportation upon the steam ships. From one point of view this ten dency is even more important so far as the effect upon industry is concerned, than is the .unrest which has caused so many strikes. Tor in the course of time present-day labor difficulties will pass away, as already in the steel industry these difficulties have been almost elim- mated. The United States needs at this time all of the workers in the industrial plants and in the agricultural fields who can be secured. Yet the country is threatened so greatly by the emmigration to Europe of workmen that the industrial world is seriously alarmed jess there be a great shortage in common labor.

WHERE LABOR IS NEEDED

for commodities of all kinds, and es- pecially for those which are essential for the rebuilding of Europe's industries will make for several years unprecedent- ed demands upon all American industry. That is the opinion of the experts, Ulti- mately, and perhaps rather speedily, the financial factors which centered into the solution of the problem which involves the facilitating of our international trade will be satisfactorily answered. The foremost men of affairs have no doubt of It.
 But if there be a steady emigration from the United States of industrial workers, especially those who are known in distinction from skilled artisans as common laborers, then our industry will be seriously imperiled. The granting of needed credits to Europe will not pre- vent impairment of that kind if there be a lack of labor
 To illustrate this point it is reported on excellent authority. that in one of the leading American industries which hitherto has employed l2,0O0 foreign born workers, 45 per cent have announced that they purpose leaving the United States as soon as possible The super intendent of this industry is quoted as having said: If 15i per cent of these men should leave we would not know how to replace them
 In the year preceding the outbreak or the European war there care to the United States from other countries con siderably over 0,000 immigrants, and every one of these newcomers who was able to work found speedy employment On the other hand in the present year, 1919 very few have come. partly because those who would be glad to come are unable to receive passports from their onvernmants

"Your husband, Private Wayne

Wheelock had already received
his discharge from the hospital, had
been mustered out of the service
and returned to his home in this
