The American Telephone and Tele-
graph Company will place no obstacles
in the paths of Julia O'Connor and Nav
Matthews, who have announced that
they purpose making an attempt to
unionize telephone girls in New York
City and generally throughout this
state. This was the statement yester-
day of F. H. Bethel, first vice-presi-
dent Of the New York Telephone Com
pany.
Although Mr.. Bethel predicted that
the efforts of the Misses O'Connor and
Matthews, who are both officials in the
telephone operators department of the
international Brotherhood of Electrical
Workers, and figured in the recent tel
ephone strike in New England, would
meet with no success. he said the 16O,-
600 employees Of the telephone company
would be free to join either the labor
union or the association of employees
which the American Telephone and Tel
egraph Company is preparing to de-
velop among its workers as substitute
for the outside organization.
Mr beChell declared the matter OF
the American Telephone and Telegraph
company recognizing the outside opera

ganize one be successful, would be q
policy to be decided later by the COM

THE TAX SCALPER.

Collector Jack Walker struck a sympathetic note with the public when he announced his plans to protect the people from profiteers or. tax scalp .ers. And the people can keep faith with the collector by promptly report ing any instances of eXorbitant char ges for taxed commodities to him.
 There are some few merchants who welcome any opportunity to camou- flage prices with tax and reap a substantial profit for themselves. In- stead of attempting to alleviate con- ditions, they would profit by fleecing the public and augment discontent and unrest by making it appear that the increased price was due to govern ment taxation. Merchants who resort to such practices are as dangerous as the Bolsheviki orator. They are fos- terng the same sort of propaganda in an underhand manner.
 There arc number of books in Pine Bluff that will serve to enlight- en the people on the subject of fed eral taxes and they should study them for their own protection as well as aid in fighting the scalpcr.

KAISER WILLIAM
 CONTINUES WORK
 WITH SAW AND AK
Has Not Left Confines of Castle Grounds in Past
 Nine Weeks.

Ameroneen, Thursday, Feb, 27.- (Rv The Associated Press.) The Dutch governor of Utrecht, who has surveillance over the former German emperor, visited the castle of Count Von Bentinck last night, supposedly in connection with the recent actlvl- ties of William Hohenzollern, and Ger man officials who have visited him. Since the publication in Holland of Associated Press dispatches telling of these visits, the officials have ceas- ed to come here.
 The former Monarch has not gone beyond the castle grounds ln the past nine weeks, and apparently has no ln- tention of moving to another location, although many reports have been cur rent regarding the leasing of castle al Hardenbroek, near Doorn, which belongs to another member of the Order of St. John of Jerusalem. The correspondent visited Hardenbroek and found the castle mentioned to be almost entirely unfurnished. The only point in it's favor is it's lonely posi- tion, mile from any other inhabi- tation.
 Deny Plans to Move.
 Herr Hohenzollern's attendants al- so deny any intention of moving and this is strengthened by further pre- cautions recently taken around the Von Bentinck castle to shield it's guests from the public gaze. The rail ed openings in the wall about the garden have been thickly boarded and topped with barbed wire.
 While the Ex-Emperor performs his daily task of saving wood for three hours, his wife strolls about the grounds, mostly alone.
 The former ruler is still engaged afternoons in replying personally to thousands of letters of greetings re- ceived on the occasion of his recent birthday. It is reported that several efforts have been made by his SUD- porters to induce him to return to Ger many, but without success.
 The German government apparent ly continues to pay the salaries of the former kaiser's servants and even makes arrangements for them to be relieved at regular intervals, although his staff is much smaller than l.ither- to.
