SILVER FAMINE TO Be HANDLED UNDER
 YHE PtTrMAN ACT

THE PiTrMAN ACT
 PHIliApE1- -PaIA. Dec. 1-Accori- ing 0 private advices f-om MsshingS ton. the goyernmen. is rot con;em- plating aay legssisticn al this ttinis to meet rising price o: silver, but expects ts handle the situation under the Putnam act An ofecia, of the treasury depar.me eut sad. The Pitt man q; contains ample authority for dea.ins with any situation which may arise"
 The iPrtman act. passed in April. 1918. authorizes the treasury to melt and sell az bullion many millions ad- ditionai of silver dollars. and if the treasury follows this course i- can throw metal on the market which may for the time stem the rising tendency of the silver market. Director Baker of the mint said the government does not contemplate putting any embargo on exportation of silver.
 The pi.tman act authorizes secre- tary of the treasury to melt and sell as bullion nor in excess Of 350G ! 900 standard silver dollars. The trel-a-y showed that the stock of money in- cluded :0S.l45.T53 silver dollars, ss compared with 563,2s;.-i: April lst. 1918. q reduction of 269.I1S.75i. which represents dollars n ne..et. This leaves s9 s76.2i6 silver Ears which the treasury can ne!; le-o-e maximum figure named m the P!;,man ac; is reached.
 As the standard silver dollar con tains 37l 25 grains Of pure silver. the treasury by melting the s9.s.6.2i5 s.i- yer dollars which il still has au;hori- ty to break up. can obtain 695l3.660 ounces of pure silver. This is more than the silver production in the Uni led States in 1918. which according ;o latest estimates. was 67.slO.l35 ounces
 Should the treasury mel, silver dol lars up 10 the full amour. of S50,000,- o99 Authorized by the Pittman act, there would remain stock of silver dollars of els. .25s.5l3. containing 1ss.- s17.s5O 'ounces Of fine silver. being more than the world production of the white meal in 1917 placed at I63. .99.,- TOO ounces h event of further rise in the price of silver the treasury could ask congress to pass emer- gency legislation authorizing it to dispose Of the balance
 Cnder the Pittman sct and new authority the treasury could obtain and sell a maximum Of 2S8.33l.. .9O ounces of fine silver. which al an av- craze value of sl2j aa ounce. would have gross marke; value Of s297.- 91435, For ;he F months ending September %. 1919. silver imports were SS0.570.SS5 and exports s2ei.- 5ss.50O, showing an excess of experts over imports Of slSi.027.sI5.

RAPID MIGRATION OF
THE BOIL WEEVII.

Clemson College, Sept. 29.-Sincc
August 26 the actual wecvi! line has
advanced fifteen miles, according to
reports of the Crop Pest Commission.
The comparative scarcity of square
(Which constitute the weevils prcfcrr
ed food) and the favorable seasonal
conditions are the causes of this rapid
migration, which will continue until
the weevil is forced into wnterourtcrs
by cold weather between the last Of
October and the middle of November.
Last fall the wccvil was active into
December because of the unusually
mild weather.
The attention of cotton seed ship
pers is directed particularly to this
rapid weevil movement and the conSe-
quent necessity that the Crop Pest
Commission change the boil wcevil
line and the quarantine line frequent
~ during the next month.

be made to change the closing hours
for cafes and restaurants from / 80
p. m. to an earlier hour, not yet decid-
ed upon. The theatcrs and restaurants
will be restricted in their use of light
and Berlin will have to expect ma,
terIal restriction even before the win
ter, so that coal can be saved.
The railroad service also will be
materially restricted sleeping cars
and dining cars will probably be en-.

by spreading layer, about four in

The PrincinIa Involved

The American people struggled for a
quarter of century to bring capital
into subsection to the rights of the
public They have defeated the eff
forts of capital to dictate. They now
face an effort at dictation in the name
of labor, which is as contemptuous of
the rights of the public as capital was
formerly The spirit of the oft-quoted
public be damned" epigram is just as
apparent in the present conduct of
labor as it was formerly in that of
capital. The public is just as deter
mined not to be damned by labor as
it was not to be damned by capital.
When labor comes with a threat to tie
up the railroads, to extinguish the
steel furnaces and to cut off the fuel
supply with winter at hand unless its
demands are conceded, the people re-
cognize it as an attempt to hold up
the United States, and they will fight.
In taking this attitude the people
do not oppose labor unions as such;
they oppose only leadership with
revolutionary aims and contempt of
contracts. They are no more desir-
Gus of breaking up organizations of
labor than they were of breaking up
corporations when capital became ar
rogant.
The protest is against the efforts
of any class, any minority, to ride
roughshod over the whole nation in
assertion of its pretended rights and
in contempt of the rights of the maj
ority. Within those limitations there
is abundant room for the activity of
labor unions.
a non-union laborer and American
citizen has just as much right to a
job as a union man who is Or is not
citizen, and vica versa
The "closed shop" theory is con-
trary to every principle of our form
of government and is just as contrary
to our American guarantee of in
dividual rights and liberty as would
be the recognition of a principle in
America that a man had to belong
to a specified church or lodge before
he. was given a job.-Russell Record
