STRIKE PROBER
FAILS TOV VERIFY
UNION CHARGES

WASHINGTON, June 7.-(By Asso-
ciated Press. Postal Inspector J. W.
Cole of Chattanooga, Tennessee, sent
to Atlanta to investigate charges by
union officials that employees of the
Southern Bell Telephone and Tele-
graph company had been discharged
because of union affiliations has made
a preliminary report to Postmaster
General Burleson. He said that confer
ences with both sides yields the i'm
preston that unless disinterested tes-
timony. not yet obtained, can be pro
duced. in support of the employees
contentious, evidence will not show
that the POSTMASTER generals order
of October 2 has been ciolated."
President S J Konenkamp of the
Commercial Telegraphers' Union of
America announced before his depar-
ture for Chicago last night that he
would call a nation wide strike of un-
ion telegraphers late today. The move
is proposed in support of the Western
ees in ten southern states who went on
in ten Souther states who went on
strike Tuesday night.
Until he reaches Chicago Mr.. Kon-
enkamp stated it would not be de-
cided whether the spread of the strike
should be confined to the Western
Union or include the Postal Telegraph
Cable company. He also said the date
of the proposed strike had not been
determined.
Western Union officials claim that of
the 10000 employees of the company
eligible to join the telegraphers union
only 10 were members and expressed
belief that a strike would not seri-
ously impair the service

Red Cross Has Own
Troubles in Siberia

TOklO.-tCorrespondence of The
Associated Press.) Major John Reif-
snider, formerly of Frederick, Md
now of Toxic, who is attached to the
American Red Cross in Siberia, has
arrived here preparatory to escorting
1.500 Czecho-Slovak soldiers from
Vladiyostock via the Suez Canal to
Trieste and thence to Prague. The
troops are chiefly those incapacitated
by illness.
Major Reifsnider who is assistant to
Colonel R. B. Teusley, of Virginia, the
head of the Siberian Red Cross, has
had some exciting experiences in Rus
sia. He has conducted Red Cross
trains to Omsk on two different occa-
sions. Difficulties were created by
Cossacks as he conducted his train in
10 the very heart of Siberia, he
said. Small detachments living in
railroad cars in various places would
connect their coaches to his train on
the plea that they must reach the
front Sometimes the cars numbered
nine and ten, thus overburdening the
long Red Cross train.
On my recent trip to Omsk." said
Major Reifsnider to the correspond
ent, we had rather a dramatic tableau

Cossacks had hitched on eight cars
without permission, and l ordered
them taffen off. The Cossacks refus-

We Pay Taxes and flo
Interest on Savings
Accounts of Any
Amount

Our announcement of increased interest rate
from per cent to per cent has already attracted
much attention among depositors from this section
and also from other towns.
Four per cent interest on idle money, in add
ition to having this money safeguarded, makes
a savings account very profitable investment
one which appeals to almost everyone.
Our policy is, however, even more LIBERAL for
we pay all taxes on savings deposits and we accept
deposits without limit.
If you will pause to consider what this means
you will find it very much to your interest to in
vest your money in this bank-where your re-
turns will be large, and where you may always
secure the principal when you desire it.

, a moment admit) have been
lightened for the taxpayers of
Richmond County. Your school
Gs a unit in the system of coun-
ty schools, shares in these bene-
fits to the end that the county
and State will now pay for six
months of your term.
1t seems clear to me, if we
would keep step with the broad
and sound doctrines which
makes these things possible,
that we must throw off the in
sular policy. to which we have
for so long been forced to adj
| here, because we have receiv-
ed more money in buttons than
we could have gotten from coun-
ty and State had we come into
the sisterhood of State High
Schools, and take the posi-
ton that, having received
great gifts from the county and
the State, we will give great
gifts to the children of the
county by admitting them to
our High School without price
and without obligation.
The State asks us to do no
more,-God knows we can do no
less-we must bring this school
into a hearty sympathy with the
educational ideals of the State.
Second. What shall be our
answer to the crying need OF
more school room and rooms.
When your board, in 1901 or
1902, acquired the present site
by gift from the Richmond Lit
erary and Educational Society,
and built the first addition, it
was considered that we had
enough room-and rooms, to
serve the normal growth of the
community for twenty years.
We sold $12,5OO bonds to meet
these improvements. In less
than ten years we began to see
that the community had grown,
even beyond our hopes and in
1918 we sold $4,000 additional
bonds for, the last addition,
which brought the building as
it now stands. At that time it
was again considered that our
building was large enough to
meet our requirements for ~
years. 1t is now six years since
this last addition was made, and
during the school year just pass
ed, we have had to teach two
classes to the SOON in two
rooms. This doubling up OF
classes with it's consequent
ly unjust to the, children in
those grades. They cannot u9-
der such circumstances have an
equal chance with the other
children in the State and in this
school, who have the use OF a
school room for the full time.

CITY SCHOOLS
Recommendations Made by
Chairman of Rockingham
City School Board, at Re-
cent Meeting of Board Re-
garding Bond Issue etc.
Rockingham, N. c.,
June %, 1919.

Gentlemen:
There are two recommends
lions which, by the force of cir
cumstances, am compelled to
urge upon your earnest consid-
Grafton at this time.
First. What shall be the at
titude of this School towards
the County and the State.
For many years the patrons
of this school paid somewhat
more in taxes into the County
School fund than the school re-
ceived from the County fund.
This was in the early years
when, to have in the country
any school whatever, it was nee
essary for the State Board of
Education to favor the country
schools-to help those who
could not help themselves. For
several years now the town has
received from the County School
fund year by year an amount
which approximates closely the
amount it's citizens pay into the
County School fund through
county taxes laid for county
schools. For the year just clos
ed it was $500.
Under the Brooks law, which
furnishes the machinery for
putting into effect the Constitu-
tional Amendment, guarantee
ing to every school in the State
a six months school term, car
ried at the last election by a
majority of one hundred thou
sand votes, your school will re-
ceive from the county fund for
next years expenses, about
$4,000.
This increase has been made
possible by the principle that
every child in the State is entl-
tied to an equal chance for an
education, so far as the State IS
concerned. The effect of it's ap-
plication has been that the
great counties of the State, like
New Hanover, Mecklenburg,
Forsyth, Guilford, Buncombe,
etc., will each pay into the State
fund from fifty to seventy-five
thousand dollars more than they
get back. This means that the
small counties like ours share
in the taxable wealth of these
rich counties, so that the bur-
dens of better schools-if bur
dens they be (Which I do not Tor
