ing OF all Boston strectcar men, includ-
ing the employees Of the Boston Ele
waited Company, has been called for to-

ton Of walkout in sympathy with the
striking policemen, it is announced to-
day by James II. Vahcy, attorney for

Higgins of the carmen's union re-
turned here from Chicago to-day.
The carmen, it is generally pre-
dicted, will vote in favor of supporting

the striking policemen was produced
to-day when the Milk Wagon Drivers
Local voted to give $500 in cash and to
contribute 81 weekly for Wch member
of which there are LOO. for an in
definite period. 1t was declared to-

ing.
Organized labor has also begun a
fight against the organization of new
Boston police force by the Police Com
missioner, declaring that Mr.. Curtis is
violating the laws Of ssachusetts in
his procedure.
Say Curtis Violates Law
In statement issued by Frank H.
Mccarthy. organizer Of the American
Federation of Labor and Michael j.
O'Donneil, president OF the Boston
Central Labor Union, tna Commits
sioner was accused OF violating the
law by failing to state in his advcr-
tisements for police candiiates that
labor trouble exists. the statement
said:
"We notice that the Police Commits
sloner, who has been loudly asserting
that all his actions in connection with
the police controversy have been strict
Is in accordance with the laws Of our
state, deliberately ignores the law of
Massachusetts in advertising for men
to take the place of strikers without
informing such men that labor trouble
exists, as is required by the law Of
Massachusetts.
Owe also wish TO inform the ex-ser-
vice men whom Com missioner Curtis
invites to become strike breakers that
among the Boston policemen now on
strike are some 400 ex-service men, who
responded to the call of our country
and barred their breasts to the German
bullets in order that our country and
the world might be saved to democracy
and who, because they sought TO have
established in their department lit
tie of the democracy for which they
risked their lives, find themselves
deprived Of their means of livelihood
and their comrades in service are ap-
pealcd to to take their places.
I've believe that Police Commits
sioner Curtis will learn that the ex-
service men of Massachusetts are made
of better stuff than he seems to think
they are"

volunteered for police duty in Boston
while the patrolmen's strike is in
progress, says that "thc university

'If the needs Of the service require

CONCENTRATIONS to the York Auto
mobile association. They did a gooe
thing and they did 1t well.
Both Governor Cooper and Con.
gresham Stevenson were tremendous
ly popular in Yorkville last Friday. 1
seemed as if almost everybody wanted
to shake hands with these officials.
A number of patrons Of R. F. D
Route No. S, are getting an unfair dea
on the part Of the postoffice depart
ment. Some time ago portion of the
route that had been established FOL
several years, was cut off in such
way as to deprive several patrons o.
the accommodations they had. beer
enjoying. Among the excuses giver
was alleged bad roads and the alleged
fact that the route passed through pri
yate premises. The road was promptly
repaired and it was shown that the
road to which objection was offered
was a public road. 1t was shown also
that the route ran through severa
miles to serve as few number OF pa
irons as that cut off. In fact 1t was
shown that the excuses offered were
but Of little consequence But still the
oostoffice department refuses to undo
the Injustice which evidently perpe
trated by bad tempered route agen
in fit Of pique.

CONGRESSMAN Stevenson managed {

CONGRESSMAN Stevenson managed to
get good amendment into bad piece
of house legislation few days ago.
The house was bent on the passage of
an act allowing public municipal, pub
lie service and other corporations to
exercise the right Of eminent domain
through the United States district
court in the condemnation Of water
rights, rights Of way, ETC., required by
such corporations. Such power is ex-
ceedingly dangerous, to say the least
Of it; but there was no way to prevent
it's passage. Mr.. Stevenson, however,
pointed out the hardship and injustice
Of making the poor owner Of small
piece of property worth less than
$4,000, go to the district court to de-
fend his rights in property that he
might not desire to part with at all.
The house passed the pernicious act,
but it allowed the amendment that re-
quires cases involving damages Of less
than $4,000 to be heard in the state
courts. The benefit is to allow the
neighhOrs and friends Of the property
owner-the people who know whether
he is reasonable or only querreious, to
pass upon the question as to whether
his property shall be taken away from
him

That the defeat of Champion Jess

noon. News Of the result came in a
flash to The Enquirer about 5 o'clock
Friday afternoon and a short time later
the details as to how 1t happened came
over the wire. Most Of the local fans
were confident that big Jess would wir
the bout easily; but there were quite

army should not receive the same com.

lieutenant colonel now In Walter Reet
hospital who lost leg overseas an6
whose rate Of compensation on ac-
count Of disability was fixed at SIS pei
month. Yet lieutenant colonel of the
regular army would receive many
times that much. Mr.. Stevenson's
compensation bill has not yet beer

According to the statement or the
Hardin negro, another negro came ul
to his buggy and deposited plstoI
therein, stating that he would return
for the weapon later. Crosby came w
to the buggy short time atterwaru
and asked Hardin for match. The
renuest was granted and when Crosby
had lighted his cigarette he noticed
the pistol lying in the car. Picking II
up, he began handling the weapon
and Hardin in a spirit Of fun drew MS

son. The weapon was discharged the
bullet striking Crosby in the stomach

Hardin told the sheriff that he was

sIpELIeHTs OF THE FOURTH

That York county will probably take
decidedly increased interest In the
subject Of good roads as result Of the
Independence Day celebration in York
vile Friday, was the opinion expressed
by numerous thoughtful citizens who
were in town Saturday. Both Govern
or Cooper and Congressman Stevenson
presented powerful arguments for the
cause OF good roads and there was
hardly a person in the large audience
who heard them who was not conV1nc-
ed of the wisdom Of building good
roads from every standpoint, following
their addresses. The matter OF good
roads for York was the principal sub
| ject of discussion among the more
thoughtful throughout the day.
Made the Moon Shine.
In the course Of his address Friday
morning when he made reference to
the fact that good road from Chester
to Kings Mountain through the Beth
any country, would divert travel from
the low country to the mountains
| through this section, Congressman
Stevenson >said: They tell me that
some folks in the battle-ground section
liquor and that reminds me of a story
| told me by Federal judge at Sails
bury a few years ago: A mountaineer
| by the name of Joshua Hinton had
been convicted before this ju 1ge Of IL
| licit distilling. Your name is Joshua
Hinton said the judge, expecting to
have little fun at the expense of the
moonshiner.
"'That is my name SIR replied
Joshua.
land are you that Joshua who
made the sun stand still?" inquired
the Judge.
the Joshua who made the moon
shine >"
Demand for Cold Drinks.
More than 200 gallons Of ice cream
and hundreds Of bottles Of soft drinks
were sold by Yorkville dealers to men,
bers Of the great crowd in attendance
upon the celebration Friday. The York
Drug Store sold 115 gallons Of ice
cream, the Sheider-Snelling Drug COM
pany sold an immense quantity and
other stands conducted during the day
did rushing business. The town foun-
tain on the courthouse square was kept
busy all day long. 1t was some hot
day. Incidentally, 1t is Of interest to
note that Uncle Sam Is somewhat pet
ter off as a result Of Yorkville's big
day through the revenue he will derive
from the sale Of soft drinks. Had he
secured a tax on all the water drunk
from the town fountain he would sure
ly have made killing.
Good Order Maintained.
Good order was maintained by the
vast throng throughout the day. May
or Johnson appointed several extra po-
licemen to help the regular force keep
things straight; but about all they had
to do was to direct automobile traffic,
which was a constant stream during
the day. There was little moonshine
liquor, paw-paw and other rotgut stuff
in evidence among some Of the men,
bers Of the crowd; but they handled 1t
pretty we'll and there was no indication
of boisterousness.
"It was one of the best natured, best
behaved crowds I ever saw in York
ville," said Chief Of Police P. w. Love.
And the chiefs recollection extends
over q good many years.
Governor Left Early.
Governor Cooper left Yorkville Fri
day afternoon on the G e. NV. for
Columbia. 1t had been his original in
tention to stay over for the Masonic
