LABOR DEMANDS AMERICA BECOME
:TH|EH0ME 0F|INDUSIRALF FREEDOM
Grand Chief Of B. L. E. Say.
Worker Is Compelled Pay
His Employer Excess Profit
On His Wages.
lBv The Associated Press !

10y 4Ae ASSOc1aCeO fTeSS.l
Washington, August 6.-Labor now
demands that American become
home Of industrial freedom as it has
become q land of political freedom,
Warren s. Stone, grand chief of the
Brotherhood Of Locomotive Engineers,
said today in appearing before the
house interstate commerce commits
sion in support of labor plans for pub
lie ownership and private operation
of railroads.
Declaring that American democracy
was controlled by autocracy in in
dustries, Mr.. Stone argued there could
be no lowering Of the cost of living
as long as the consumer had to pay
extortionate profits on his own earn
ings in purchasing the necessities Of
life.
IS. ;L.abor's1 belief in the Sims bill en-
bodying the railroad employees plan for
solution Of the railroad proposition
was declared by Mr.. Stone to he pro-
found. :
In this plan, he said, the workers
raised the manner of democracy, and
advanced to "a new crusade with the
faith of pilgrims"
"Fef whatever the worker received
in wages" Mr.. Stone said, che must
spend for the necessities of life. In
addition he is always compelled to
pay his employers an excess profit on
his own wages. The cost Of his iv.
ing is determined by the sum he earns
plus the profit charged on his own la.
Dor, and as q group, labor is foreve.
prevented from lettering its lot be-
cause Of the profits exacted by the
employer. The hope for a finer life
is never realized. So long as consum
ers are forced to pay extortionate
+. profits on their own earnings to 8
third interest, there is no solution o1
the industrial problems.
"We find that this third interest ab'
solutely controls and dominates tn,
management sof industries. It fixes
wages and controls working condi
tions. It fxes the price Of commod'
tiles without regard to the needs o1
society or the necessities of the pro
ducers and consumers. We have q de-
mocratic form of government, but AZ
autocratic control Of industry"

Ultimatum Calls for Reduction
of Hungarian Army and Fif-
ty Per Cent of Harvest, Ami
mails, Farm Machinery and
Other Supplies.
(By The Associated Press.)

Wy 4uC k1SSOCldCSu xcSSsJ
Paris, August 6-The Rumanians
have served an ultimatium of the
Hungarian government, according to
messages reaching the peace confer
ence. The ultimatium, it is stated,
makes demands far in excess of the
arnistice terms, and gives the Hun
garians until 8 a. m. today to comply
with them.
It is greatly feared in conference
circles that the Rumanian action will
result in the overthrow of the new
Hungarian government. French cir
cles state that the Rumanian army is
not under command of Marshal Foch,
allied commander-in-chief, the Ru-
manian general refusing to accept
orders from the French.
In their ultimatium the Rumanians
demand reduction of the Hungarian
army to $4,000 men and surrender of
fifty per cent of the harvest, animals,
and farm machinery and fifty per
cent of the railway supplies.
The ultinlatium, which, was for
warded to Paris, also demands a
large proportion of the Danube ship
ping, equipment and supplies for an
army of 100000 men together with
rations for the Rumanians forces
pending peace settlement.

The one word uttered by the exam
liner for the United States marine corps
Wednesday blasted the hopes OF George
NJ. Flowers. Of Union City. Tenn, after
he had. ms he thought, overcome all
obstacles In the road to service with
Uncle Sans sea soldiers.
A strong desire to Join the marine
corps had long been cherished by Flow
ers, and when his final decision was
reached last week he arranged his af-
fairs, but being u~nacquainted with the
proper procedure to secure t~ransporta-
ton to Memphis, and being without
sufficient funds to carry out the VEN
ture, Flowers set out on foot.
Travelling statesmen are reputed to be
possessed of a goodly quantity of the
milk of human kindness, so when Will
liam p. Bobb, salesman for an autorno-
bile tire concern, saw Flowers trudging
along the highway, he proffered him a
lift, which Flowers accepted.
In the conversation that followed
Robb learned OF Flowers desire to join
the marines. so Flowers was invited to
stay with the salesman, who promised
to deliver him at the marine recruiting
station. The trip lasted two days, with
the stops that Bobb had to make selling
tires, but Flowers was taken care OF
by the salesman. and on Wednesday
reached the recruiting station.
He passed every test until the exam
liner looked over his pedal extremities,
Fallen arches were very apparent and
because OF the fact Flowers was reject
ed by the marines. Very much disheart-
ened. Flowers took his departure-proh-
ably walking back to Union City, His
feet were good enough to bear his
strong heart over the long road. hut not
good enough for marine corps service.

BODY Of WOMANIN
MISSISSIPPI SHOWS
NECK WAS BROKEN
Autopsy Upon Remains of
Mrs. Clyde Thames, Of Lin
coin County, Shows That
Foul Play Was Possible.

BRooKHAVEN. Miss. Sept. 4. (Spl.)
The body Of Mrs. Clyde Thames, who
died at her home in this county and
whose remains were buried at Antioch
church cemetery on Aug. s, was ex-
humed on Tuesday. Sept. 2, and upon
an examination Of the body by the
physician II was found that her NECK
was broken. Mrs. Thames was living
with her husband and two small chill
dren In Lincoln county at the time OF
her death, but her body was buried
In the cemetery at Antioch church, just
across the line in Lawrence county.
II seems that there has been a good
deal of talk in the neighborhood as to
the suspicious circumstances surround
ing the death and burial Of Mrs. Thames
and SO insistent has been these rumors
that the relatives Of the dead woman
secured permission to disinter the body
for the purpose of a physical examina-
ton, and this was done In the pres
ence of the officers and relatives n
friends OF the deceased on Tuesday,
with the result as above stated.
1t was claimed that Mrs. Thames had
met her death from heart failure, as
she was being treated for this trouble
at the time Of her death, and the body
was buried under this belief. However
the examination Of the body shows the
RtObuVlAlNg Nildl diNIC HlAbHl nave UGNi
foul play In connection with her death.
The grand jury is In session in Lincoln
county and witnesses are being brought
before it to testify as to their knowledge
OF the facts and circumstances sur
rounding the death. So far no one has
been arrested In connection with the
matter and 10 charge Of foul play has
been made against anyone. AS the
death occurred In Lincoln county, the
grand jury now In session in this city
has Jurisdiction of the matter and will
make a complete investigation.
The father Of the dead woman was
in the city Wednesday and will make
every effort to secure the true facts
leading up to and surrounding the
death Of his daughter, and II the death
did not result from natural causes, as
was at first presumed, an Indictment
will no doubt be returned by the grand
jury II 1t can fix the responsibility for
the death upon anyone.
