near Gadsden There is also in bank al- most enough money to build third, when building material and labor will permit These schools are opening up bright vista to the people in these communities and there is no estimating the good that will result from them
 People who have never had the oppor- tunity of learning are interested It is pathetic to see old men and women study ing with their children and grand chil- dren.
 There is a crying need for better school houses and better teachers in these noun tain districts
 Now, the question is, Flow are we to further this most important work?'
 On Flag Day every patriotic citizen white and eolored, should want to wear little flag. It is asked that every one who loves our flag wear one.
 Our merchants and public spirited cit izens are asked to fly the colors from their places Of business.
 The Daughters of the American Revo- lution have provided for this celebration and will have on hand a number of flags, and sell them in the stores, banks, nov ies, and other public places and the money realized will be given-every cent of it to- the illiteracy fund.
 So bear in mind the good is two-fold- to honor our flag and to help blot out this great stain of illteracy in our state.
 There will be no set prices on the little flags. Pay whatever you feel inclined to give for them, but be sure to give some thing. Remember that Saturday, the l4th of June is the day-and the Daughters or the American Revolution will provide the flags

London, Oct. 27.-(By The Asso- ciatcd Press) Nearly every industry in Great Britain not favored by the protection of import restrictions is trying to have itself keyed" 4 "key'' industry is one essential to British industry and considered so affected by the war that il mus be nursed back to health through the medium of government assist. nee.
 The government did not remove import restrictions September on products manufa cured by so-called British key indus ries. The majority of nlanufactu-ers forced into conlpe- cition by removal of the restrictions believed their indus ny should have been in the favored list
 Among these are the automobile men who have protested vigorously against American machines coming into England win duty of B 1-3 per cent. British manufacturers ad- init they cannot produce cars in any thing like the amount needed within many months so the Board of Trade so far has turned a deaf ear to thei1 proteStaIiOns. In the meantime Amer tcan cars are increasing in number on Londons stree.s and one Ameri- can firm advertises delivery within forty-eight hours after order taken .''
 Duty, the difference in exchange and freight charges raises the price Of an American car in London to about double the price in the United States but that is not deterring the Englishmen from snapping them up as rapidly as they arrive.

 FOR DEATH CF h!E:vEL0 BY TRAIN
Coroner Fhelan Says Crimi- nal Act of Fugsley Was
 Cause of Death.

That the criminal act of Ralph Pugsley of Poughkeepsie. N. Y, New Haven railroad flagman. was the cause of the death of Giuseppe Nevelo in the railroad wreck at Holmes Station, N. Y, on Septem- Der 2S last, is the finding of Coron- CT Phelan made public today. Ne velo, railroad employe whose home was in Waterbury, died in the Dan bury hospital September 30 and therefore the case came within the jurisdiction of Coroner Phelan.
 Pugsley' was one of the crew of train which stopped at Holmes Sta ton. Instead of going back $500 feet as required by the rules of the railroad, Pugsley went only 500 feet and there left signals to warn ap- preaching trains.
 Another freight train saw the flag mans signal but the night was fog gy and Engineer Alfred Francis of the second train said he did not see the signal in time so that he could stop his engine before it crashed into the rear end of the other train.
 The coroner says in his report that he holds Pugsley responsib1e,' in or der that the prosecuting officers of the state may determine whether an offense against the law has been com nitted and by whom"

And we do know that the operators have refused. They have rejected proposal after proposal
 t'Now, if the government would use the same amount of pressure on the operators that it is using on the United Mine Workers of America. there would be no trouble in bring ing about a settlement. All press ure, so far has been On the miners and none on the operators. The government could bring the operators into conference easily, if they want ed to.
 The organized miners do not want to strike-it is the last resort. T. is, and always has been, the policy Of the mine workers to use all hen orabIe means to avoid a strike We hope the operators yet may be in duced to meet. the miners and reach an agreement. which will make the strike called for November 1 unnec- essary.
 we want the public to know that the miners have done everything in their power to bring about a con ference so that a new wage agree ment could be negotiated and the s rilIe avoided. Up to this time our efforts have been unsuccessful; the opera ors seem determined to forca a strike on the public in order to main ain the high price of coal at the mines"
