All Men Interested in Future Devel.
opment Of Augusta invited to Hear
Secretary Aherns Of Waterville
Chamber of Commerce Who
Speaks at 7.30 at City Hall, on the

meree"
Every man interested in the future
development of Augusta is invited to
be present at the meeting to be held
tonight at City hall at 730 under the
auspices Of the Board Of Trade. It
is an admitted fact that the present

gusta can be made more favorable
to attend this meeting to find out
some of the possibilities of a proper
ly organized and conducted Chamber

doubters, the scoffers or the inter-
ested and knowledge seekers. And
he is we'll qualified to answer every
question that can be put before him.
How should a Chamber be organ
lied? How much is devoted to pay
of secretary? Can a Chamber thrive
on a 50 membership fee? How often
are meetings held How are new in
dustries obtained for a city?-All
these and hundreds Of other similar
questions are l., the minds Of every
one who has had any experience
with organizations for the develop
ment of the prosperity and growth
of the city. Mr.. Ahrens can answer
these questions from a fund of
knowledge that is almost inexhaus-
tible.
If you have the slightest desire to
see your pet idea passed upon come
out to this meeting. Your presence
will indicate your interest; your
serious questions will help answer
the problems that have never been
answered satisfactorily.

FLEE
FROM BOLSHEVIKI
Refugees From Ural Mountain Dis.
tricts Pack Box Cars.

/ lrkutsk, Siberia, Oct. 5.-(Corre-
spondence o fthc Associated Press.
Ten thousand refugees from the Ural
mountain districts of European Rus
sia and Siberia have for weeks filled
the yards of Irkutsk with their rail
way cars. Forced to flee from their
homes in Perm, Ekaterinburg. Tumcn,
Creliabinsk, Ufa, Petropavlosk, Ku-
gan, Bartual and other cities of West
ern Siberia, because of the menace of
the Bo!sheviki, they took refuge in
the railway boXcars provided by the
Omsk government and started east
ward. lrkutsk, midway between Omsk
and Vladivostok, has felt the full i'm
pact of the enormous tide of refugees.
Thousands have been sent on east
ward but they still remain in and
around this district-an extraordinary
number of people who have no homes
lut boxcars or novels somewhere
along the railroad line.
A week ago it was estimated by an
officer of the American railroad corps,
which is attempting to rehabiltatc
the trans Siberian service. that not
fewer than $4,000 cars of refugees
were amasscd in and aroud Omsk.
Train after train rolled in from the
westward and for some time it was
virtually blockade at Omsk before
the trucks could be cleared and some
of the hundreds o ftrains sent on
east.

DRUGGISTS HAD
SUCCESSFUL MEETING

The Druggist District Auxiliary
No. Three, including Sumter, Claren-
don, Lee and Williamsburg counties
held an enthusiastic meeting in the
Court House here Tuesday night.
While the majority OF the druggists
were from Sumter, practically every
county was represented with one or
more druggists. There were four
teen present, and DR.. DeLorme of
Sumter, chairman of the association,
called order for business at 8:45 in
which the secretary, DR.. John Seibert,
also of Sumter, read the minutes and
bylaws of the Association. The prin-
cipal discussion Of the evening, was
lin regard to the Sunday hours and
Sunday laws. DR.. DeLorme said "you
hardly ever find two towns with the
same hours and Sunday laws, but we
druggists catch the dickens anyway"
The meeting adjourned at 10 o'clock,
when an invitation was given by
Drs. Stalnaker, Kellet and Crouch
three local druggists to proceed over
to Dickson's Drug Store where they
were served with sandwiches, hot cho-
colate and coffee.
The visitors left thanking and COM
menting the Manning druggists for
the hospitality shown them while
here.
The next meeting will be held at
Kingstree, S. c., but the date was not
decided on.

ROPER ASKS AID
IN ENFORCEMENT

Washington, Oct. w-abdinp
citizens, churches, civic organizations
and welfare societies were summoned
tonight by Commissioner Roper to aid
the bureau of internal revenue in en-
forcing the prohibition enforcement
law.
Any flouting of the law, Mr.. Roper
declared, would bring itno dsrepute
the American form of government.
While the bureau is made the agen-
cy directing the enforcement of the
measure, with the Department of JUS
tice conducting prosecutions on cvi-
dcncc obtained by the bureaus men,
responsibility is not confined to fed
cral officers, the commissioner said.
State, county and municipal officials
are expected to do full share in
stopping and furnishing any violations
and the successful administration of
the law, Mr.. Roper said, will be meas
urcd largely by the manner in which
these officials meet their requirements.

GOMPERS CHARGES
CAPITALISTIC PLOT
TO CRIPPLE LABOR

Washington. Oct. 28.-Thousands of
organized workers of the District of
Columbia, who paradec down Penn
sylvania avenue tonight in honor of
Samuel Gompers, president of the
American Federation of Labor later
heard the veteran labor leader assert
that big business" definitely had de-
termined "to give labor, because of its
growing strength, blow between the
eyes,"
The attitude Of the United States
Steel Corporation toward the steel
workers unions, he added, was only
one manifestation on the part of
industry.
Mr.. Gompers said that, while at
the beginning Of the steel strike
he considered it "untimely," since
learning of the plans of the steel
companies, in common with all
large employers, he had changed his
mind, and now the steel strikers
had his, utmost sympathy.
The labor leader was introduced
ly Secretary of Labor Wilson as a
man "who, above all, loves his fell
low men,"

x TIME CHANGES

The daylight saving campaign came
to an end last Sunday morning, all
time pieces were supposed to be turn
ed back one hour and everything
moves with the time as usual. While
there is only one time, by the time
pieces, people very often if asking
about the time, as that new time or
old time" All the daylight that can
be saved has been saved. The nights
have grown to be considerably longer
than the day and people who get up
at 8 o'clock now can get along without
light, while heretofore It was neces-
sary to use light.
The idea is that the old common
time splits up the day better in wint-
er, while the statutory times gives
more daylight working hours in sum-
mer.
AS rule, the agricultural popula-
ton has not had much regard for the
daylight saving law. The farmers
generally, are accustomed to use all
the daylight they cap get at both ends
of the day and they do not burn a
great deal of light anyway. About the
only use they have for the new time is
to fill appointments for business in
the towns.
Take the people AS whole, and a
majority of them, probably. rather
like the idea of changing the time
backward and forward an hour in the
spring and fall. so as 20 keep the
working part Of the day balanced be-
tween suns.

WILL NOT WALK OUT
DURING FAIR WEEK

Columbia, Oct. 28.-There will be no
no strike of the electrical workers
connected with the Columbia Railway
Gas and Electric Company here dur
ing fair week, according to Thomas
b. Cooper, Of Columbia, president of
Local 382 international Brotherhood
of Electrical Workers.
However, Mr.. Cooper said that if
the workers do not receive an increase
in the wages scale as demanded from
the local company they probably will
go out on strike on Wednesday Of
next week. The electrical workers de-
manded 10 per cent increase over
their present wage scale. The major
lily of the men, said Mr.. Cooper, re-
ceitc SO cents an hour.

will confer tomorrow with Director
General Hines on the unions WAGE
scale demands which are about to be

incident to the threatened coal strike

when the demands were presented last
July that the officials of the railroad
administration and the union wouId
confer before the award was made
public, which accounts for tomorrow's
meeting.
1t is considered certain that the
unions request for general wage III
crease will be refused. Mr.. Hines will

SOUTHERN PORTERS
ALSO WANT RAISE

Washington, Oct. 28.-Porters on
the passenger trains of the principal
lines of the South have pre-
sented petition to the railroad ad-
ministration for general increase in
wages of not less than 65 per cent. The
porters claim in the petition that ev-
cry class of trainment except porters
have been granted increases and that
their wages of less than $75 month
is not enough for them to live on. The

employers with coal production con-
tinuing meanwhile, held no charms for
the union leaders.
Echoing the point made by Will
liam Green, secretary treasurer Of the
| organization, Mr.. Lewis said that the
national executives idea that the need
for wartime prohibition had passed
because the emergency had ended, ex-
pressed exactly the unions attitude
| toward it's wartime contract.
"There is no further use for war
time prohibition, according to the
President" said Mr.. Lewis, "Ncither
is there further use for the wartime
Washington wage agreemetn. We
therefore, resent the imputation that
the strike is illegal"
The suggestion that work be con-
tinucd pending appointment and re-
port of an investigating tribunal was
denominated by Mr. LAWS measure
Of delay.
"rhat would mean months of wait
ing while men ignorant Of mining
problems studied ami tried to seivc
them," he said. "Meanwhile the min
ers would be working under the pres
ent intolerable conditions"
Other officials Of the union agreed
heartily with this view. In addition
some of them pointed out that the
operators would take advantage of the
delay to work the mines to capacity,
pulling up reserve stocks and placing
the union at big disadvantage should
the tribunals efforts come to naught.
Direct negotiation with the mine
OWNERS, however, would be welcomed
by the union. Vice President Lewis,
Secretary Green and such members of
here tonight were unanimous in de-
claring that they stood ready "as be-
before to negotiate wage scale with
out reservations" They emphasized
the last two words and charged that
the employers would not negotiate
except on conditions whic hthc union
men were powerless which the union
men were powcrless to fulfill.
Authoritative forecasts Of the ac-
tion to be taken tomorrow were al
most totally lacking. There was a
well defined impression, however, that
a reply to President Wilson would be
outlined at least, if not fully drafted
and adopted by the conference as a
whole. Much doubt was in evidence
as to the power of the executive board
to postpone or otherwise modify the
strike order and if that doubt is not
resolved the big walk-out will take
place Friday midnight.
